I am of a bit slow learner maybe cause my aging fingers of 65 years old but your lessons are great, loving it. Thank you
Orlando Crescente cool -65 is Young
i'm 66 and started about 3 months ago and I have finished my first James Bastien book for older beginners and I have also learned half of John Bastiens classic themes. I just started on Hanon about 2 weeks ago and I also use Piano Nanny as a supplement.
You can do it. It just takes practice and you will learn faster if you practice a lot....that's a given. I practice about 3 to 6 hours a day, just depends on how things are going.
Yep, with this song, the main riff was my problem. I knew how to play it, but getting it down smooth and in time took me about 2 weeks of 20 minutes a day, but I've finally got it. I'm now working on learning the rest of the song.
Hang in there...you can do it. Practice and more practice
I hear ya. I am 63 and started taking lessons 3 years ago. Some days I feel extra stupid and some days everything works.
hey Orlando, hows it going??
I can tell that your confident in yourself. Your doing great, Orlando.
One of those songs that trick you into thinking it's hard. This was a great lesson demonstrate that it's perfect for beginners and as an exercise/warmup. Thanks!
I love learning Mad World at the moment. I love Gary Jules slow style. Now I want to learn Clocks. Thank you so much 🥰
I love your song choices & lessons Jordan 👍
Great lesson, many thanks.
Really great lesson guys! I really want to learn how to play clocks by Coldplay, it's one of my favorite songs. I would also really like to see a lesson about how to play 'A sky full of stars' from you guys. Thanks, cheers.
You made my day! I would have had to stay on the piano all day! Because of you, you made my day. A bit easier. :)
Buen maestro. Muchas gracias.
Muy bueno el tutorial gracias
Really great instruction. I take piano lessons. You make this easier than my teacher
David Bowie "All The Young Dudes" Love your simple lessons!
Thank you that was great to learn!! 😊
Great stuff. Thanks!
When i learn from you. It's pretty easy
I LOVE PIANOTE
Thnks, its a good version and excellent tutorial, i will work on it, very crystal
one of the best video I've seen on TH-cam and I'm happy that i can see notes and chords.I want to play the song and sing it,so i suggest first u show the chords and parts,the form of a whole song(A verse,B bridge,C...)and after that u can show the vocal line,cause i don't want to learn how to play the vocal line,i already sing it,i think so r the others.
Everything else is perfect
thanx
Thanks for sharing this lnowledge!
Good teacher
GREAT STUFF thanks once more...
super nice
thanks
I love this channel
Hi this is a great lesson. Thank you for showing us the chords for The main riff along with the pattern. The chords at the end which are referred to as the expansion are kind of confusing, perhaps because I’m looking at the image at the bottom. They are just different chords? Why are they called expansion? I will look at them again.
Hi Jordan, thank you for sharing your knowledge and breaking it down slowly! I was watching your fingering - on the bridge were you using two fingers (pointer And thumb) to hit the repetative note, if so, why? Thanks again!!
did it in less than 30 mins thanks to you! ty!!!
Very impressive to have done it in 30 mins. It's a great tutorial..but I'm not sure it's total beginner! I've been playing for years and this still took me several days to get right...if one hasn't spent a lot of time playing Ab Major (as in my case)..it was also a couple days building muscle memory on Ab major chords and the various inversions. Have tended to always run away from Ab and Eb major...so has been a great song to actually take that challenge on properly and stop avoiding those keys!! Thanks.
This is fantastic !!!!! Thankyou
Can we download the sheet music ?
Nice
Thank*
Because of tha Db note many considers that the song is actually in Eb mixolidian, which is a mode frequently used in rock
Awesome! 🎹. I was hoping to find this on this channel.Can you please do Isn't It Time by The Baby's👍🇳🇿
I really like your presentation of the song. Really nicely done. Anyway you could sell the sheet music that goes with it?
Hi Kerri, because you asked so nicely you can have it for free :)

Is there a sheet music for it???
There is a small mistake in the sheet music when it goes into the end of bridge. The left hand stays till the end with the same triad. You played it like this but the sheet shows wrong left hand. See video at 12:16.
To say this tune is in Eb major is not correct. It's a bit more complicated than that.
1. The chords for Eb major are: Eb, Fm, Gm, Ab, Bb, Cm, Ddim. The song uses the Bbm chord, not Bb major, so Eb major as tonic is incorrect.
2. However the chords of F minor are: Fm, Gdim, Ab, Bbm, Cm, Db, Eb. These are the correct set of chords containing Eb, Bbm and Fm.
3. F minor is the Ionian mode of Ab Major, so the base key (i.e. scale) of this song is Ab Major, not Eb Major.
4. However we notice that the Bbm chord is played for twice as long as the Eb and Fm are. This makes Bbm the tonal center of this riff, the tonic.
5. Therefore the correct key designation for this song is Bb Dorian, aka the Dorian mode of Ab Major. This is what gives the song it's characteristic emotional feel.
Well that could be technically true, but its also so complicated that I can imagine it would put a lot of people off!
I find it much simpler (and easy to explain) when there is just a non-diatonic chord. That's what accidentals are for anyway!
@@PianoteOfficial I understand that, and I also understand that you don't need to know all this in order to learn how to play this tune. I just think that it is wrong to confuse folk about keys and modes, especially modes. Teachers find it very difficult to explain modes and folk who try to write music as well as play it, which is a lot of people today with all our DAWS etc, want to understand how modes work and use them to creative advantage in their writing.
A lot of the difficulty often comes from teachers trying to explain modes in terms of scales. So for example the Bb Minor scale is Bb-C-Db-Eb-F-Gb-Ab whereas the Bb Dorian scale is Bb-C-Db-Eb-F-G-Ab so it is often explained as the 6th degree of Bb minor being sharpened to make Bb Dorian, i.e. the Gb is sharpened to G. This is misleading, and folk realise this when they see that the notes of Bb Dorian are exactly the same as those in the Ab Major scale. If I'm playing these notes, they ask, when exactly am I playing in Ab Major and when am I playing in Bb Dorian? What's the difference?
The answer of course is that it totally depends on what the tonal center of the passage or chord progression is. If the tonal center is the Ab Major chord then you are playing in Ab Major. If it is Bb minor (as it is in this song by virtue of the repetition of the Bb minor chord in the progression) then you are playing in Bb Dorian.
This tune is an incredibly well known and popular riff and the reason for that is because it's a classic example of Dorian mode which sets the whole character and mood of the song. It's intrinsic to how the song sounds, why it sounds so good basically, and I just think that folk should know that (if only to mark the issue down for further study later) 'cos it's important. That's why I raised the issue.
@1234gregor Music theory is the best! But your explanation is way advanced and quite complicated. Let’s just start with the basics-that’s why people come here. If he had taught this using all of your terminology, no one would even want to try it if they were beginners or intermediate. Your explanation would be like reading a sentence in a book and getting into compound and complex sentence structures, etc. Jordan’s explanation and demonstration are really good just the way it is! (Please don’t reply telling me why my sentence structure is wrong.)
could you do amoreena by elton john
Great tutorial, but as far as vocals go, it's not really clear where is the part when he sings "you are" and where is the part when he sings "home, where I wanted to go"
5 years later..this song is in trinity piano grade 5
Why are the notes on your download different than the ones you show here for the left hand?!?!?!?!
Can you print out the sheet music for this?
Would have been great if you had played the song all the way through. Good vid nonetheless!
Excuse me but isn´t this song in the key of Ab ???
no!!!!
You look like Chris Martin Jordan:-)
I think you played left hand wrong from 12:12. You played all four bars the same chord and not what’s notated.
After playing it I am sure that the notation is wrong for the left hand and you played correct:) Nice lesson and you look like Chris Martin.
please, can you providde time sheet?
Here you go :)

It's not on Eb major. It's on Ab major.
I'm thinking F minor. But yeah, if it's in a major key, it would be Ab. Anyway, it's 4 flats.

10:00.. LOL. Just end the video there. It's not getting anywhere
looks good, but why are you playing different than what you have printed on the screen? You have whole notes written, but that is not what you are playing???
Fun fact, it took chris martin Apprx 15 min to write this.
Left hand copies right hand, thats the original way of doing it
