Hey man, thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it!

Ha! Not sure I get the reference:)

@@MusicByTheMeasures You stop at measure one of the bridge. Those are the first lyrics of the bridge. They're what's coming up, right after you play that fill. 🎶

Hahhahahah I have such a “bad habit” of not actually listening to songs I teach or do videos for. Clearly I need to change that. Haha thanks man!

Thanks man!! And it is a good tune!

Ha thanks man. I clearly need more practice!

Hey man, appreciate it!

I really need to go thru all of Fleetwood Mac’s catalog, cause you are 100% correct. Serve the song, less really can be more!

Reading your comment, I’m at a loss in a few ways. First, I never claimed to be a great piano player, just doing “Live Piano Practice.” So, I get that this isn’t the tutorial you want. I’m breaking the song down for myself, and yes, it has a lesson feel to it. Are these good videos objectively? No. Will they get better? Yes, as I improve and get comfortable with the format. Watch if you want, don’t if you don’t. You sat through 4 hours of it? Either you did, or you don’t have the logic and reasoning skills to realize, “This isn’t the video for me,” when TH-cam is full of instruction videos. Also, if it’s a song you call “low level,” why even watch? Take a screenshot or buy the music. You have 12 years of piano experience, so learn it yourself. If you had an ounce of logic, you’d know within a minute that I’m not giving the info you want. Come on, bro. WHO CARES? We all learn differently. You prefer the polished, finished videos. So do I. I’m building the skill set to do that and learning how to do these live streams. Also, “if you want to live stream,” are you the gatekeeper of piano and live streaming now? Thanks for giving me permission to do things my way. It pisses you off that I talk to people while doing it? Did you consider that it makes it more engaging for me? Have you watched the ones where it pertains to the song? No? That’s okay. If you don’t like the format, don’t watch. Plenty of people don’t watch. You’re mistaken about the 4 days on 4 measures. Those measures make up over 80% of the song. Learning them well helps me get the idea of the song down, making it easier to add nuances and complexities later. So, this “lower level” song-will it take you 4 hours to play perfectly in time, note for note? Maybe you’re that good. Good for you. What do you think I’m building here? I just happen to be doing this live. Lots of your comments stem from this not being the video for you and not having the mental faculties to accept that and move on. I’m learning this for a student, so I might not be perfect, but I can better help them in a lesson. Your argument is to keep all this practice to myself and not do it live. Cool, thanks for the feedback. When you’re done gatekeeping piano, let me know. In the future, just write “you suck.” The painful aspect is having to read this long message. I don’t think you’re too harsh or too critical; you just want to “type shit.” Your last paragraph is hilarious. All your advice has been unsolicited. I’m glad you’ve played for 12 years. I’ve owned a music studio for 15 years and taught for over 20. I’ve always been a better teacher than player, but I’m confident I’ve taught many students with this same methodology. Yes, it’s slow and hard, but there are good learnings from that. Right now, the only thing hindering my learning is typing this response. :)

Haha that’s awesome! And love that you were ok singing it at these super slow speeds ha!

@@MusicByTheMeasures I know it's hilarious, but it's true, I had a few hundred photos to process in Lightroom, and somehow your video came up in the recommendations, so I started listening to it and singing along relaxed, while concentraning on the job I was doing. I don't consider myself a great singer, but I really enjoyed it.

Hey I’m happy I could help! Sometimes it’s nice to have something in the background that’s the right amount of engagement. I was doing the same thing the other with albums I don’t know that well. Let me know what I need to learn next :)

ha

Thanks!

Ha dude never need to apologize! I get it so much. Some weeks I get the time in and others I feel like a zombie. Love to hear the demo you’re working on. And hoping the move is a good one man!!

@@MusicByTheMeasures the move was a success. Still living out of boxes but that’s par for this course. Not quite finished with the current mix but I can send you something I did a while back for a local praise band. I’d love to get your feedback. Shoot me a email to send it too.

Glad to hear it man! ha I moved 2 years ago and I feel im still partly living out of boxes, so I get you! Send my way my guy! mbtmcontact@gmail.com

I feel this is the hardest position for me. It just seems awkward. So I get it!

Thanks!

Hey, super happy to help! Let me know if you have any requests!

Duh, I screwed that up, thats what I get for copying and pasting titles, will change!

​@@MusicByTheMeasures👍

Hey man, we use Sibelius to write all our sheet music, so thats playing back and then I am using Blackmagic ATEM to put on the screen and OBS to put it on TH-cam. haha covered all the basis to what I'm using! :)

Glad you liked it!

Ha it’s rough Randy, one of those practices that went backwards ha. But we will carry on!

Hey I. Sorry I had work late today. I'm also watching now. Sorry I missed the live. 😅😅 I'll try my best foe next time

Ha as I told Randy it wasn’t much. But will be back at it tomorrow. How was work man?

For sure, something I need to work on. It’s good to put them in there to learn placement. The interlude drums have 16th note hihats as tho, so good to learn that as well.

@@MusicByTheMeasures Also, as a point of discussion, I would suggest it should be notated 1, 2 and 3 and 4, which puts the backbeat on 2 and 4, which is what you'd expect? Just saying...with respect.

​​⁠it is what you would expect but now how it’s really felt or played. The snares are the “up beats”. Or you could think of it as all off beats. So via the whole band and taping out the tempo you would end up around 115 which would make the snare on every &. Good discussion man! And feedback. Appreciate it!

Thanks!

I've found teaching thru songs to be more successful and engaging than a strict focus on rudiments. And then as I get them hooked I will gotten go back and hit rudiments. lots of ways to learn.

:)

All about economy of movement and playing with less strain. If you wanna play fast spend a week on this and you will notice your fingers start to fly!

Thank you!

You do for the most part, chorus is just the intro drum part as well. some fills and breaks to watch out for!

Happy to help!

What section/instrument do you want next? I'll be doing some Lives this next week on Christmas songs and can hit this one too. If you need the sheet music check out MBTMPRO.com to get that, thanks!

Sweet man, ill check it out!

Will hit that next Guitar live I do. What part are you struggling the most with?
