It's taken a while, but I found my favorite tutorials... THANK YOU SO MUCH got these Luther tutorials. I miss him so much and love singing his stuff (even his covers like this). A MILLION times thank you.
*"Hi @houseofjaz, I came upon your video two days ago (04/13/2004). I emailed you using the email address that I saw either via your TH-cam Channel, or your Patreon. However, I did not yet receive a response from you. Basically, the email address pertains to my asking, "Do you think that an online, or remote tutorial of the above song along with at least one other that I see you also tutor on via you channel, if I would learn this remotely? Do you tutor one at the rate of $35, and make absolute certain that he/she grasps how to play the chosen selection of music? Or, do you have some sort of limit as to how long you will tutor one on a chosen music composition selection? Please do let me know, as I AM interested in learning how to play the above song, and one other one."*
Thank you so much for the tutorial! Any advice on how to play the chords to match the song ( 15:00 mark )? I have them chords down but playing them individually is a little challenging .Thanks again :)
Thank you for this tutorial my good sir, Luther Vandross is one of my most favorite artist and his version of Superstar is my most favorite song. I think you made a wonderful tutorial and gave it a justice.
LOVE IT, LOVE IT. Anything Luther. Luther was blessed with a great voice. I miss that voice and arrangements so much for new music. His voice was timeless. Thanks
I actually use your tutorials to learn or help me arrange a bit better some songs on guitar. Of course on guitar can't translate all the chords to the fretboard but definitely helps to line the supporting melody chords better than playing accompanying guitar flavor lines in some songs. Also when playing while learning some songs by ear I like to see if we hear the same thing. It's funny when trying to pick up somethings from guitarist on TH-cam you can see guys using crazy variations of the same song using different chords. Piano players usually of course not all the time but they tend to hear and play roughly the same thing.
Thank you Uncle Jaz for asking Caleb what songs he wanted and giving this to him for his birthday 🎂 present 🎁. You didn’t have to do this. He chose Superstar by Luther because he was preparing to learn the whole thing by ear like he did with Someday We’ll All Be Free by Donny Hathaway, but when you asked he was excited! We appreciate what you did Unc and are glad everyone else is enjoying Caleb’s birthday present including MD🙃. Caleb already added an extra 50% to the tutorial because we know you do not do solos and don’t want to mess around with crazy chords like you said so the song will sound totally different when it’s complete because he wants to match the song closely to the original. Thank you unc and we will be coming through to catch up on what we missed later. Oh please do not do the other birthday gift Giving Up.. Caleb already started learning it by ear before you asked him about the songs and it has crazy chords that you said you didn’t want to have to do unc
I'm just glad I was able to help where I could! I think it's great that he can learn songs on his own. I will leave the other one alone. The best way for him to develop learning to play by ear is to do it and that's exactly what he's doing right now! I'm definitely proud of both of you and the fact that y'all are growing/developing masterfully!!! 🎤🎹😎❤️👍
houseofjaz (The Piano Tutorial Man!) Thanks Unc.. we have a long long long long way to go. And when once we learn it will be a lifelong experience because no matter old you are you can always learn more. Unc quick question: why didn’t you tell everyone in the video that you did this request as a birthday 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎁🎁🎁 song for Caleb after asking him what 5 songs he wanted for Christmas 🎄? He insisted that you didn’t have to but you gifted him and we are grateful but why didn’t you say it in video? It would have been crediting Caleb for the song suggestion for this great classic, and T Luther’s other song that Caleb suggested, Take You Out.
I’m actually am wanting to buy a piano just to play this song. Do you have any recommendations of what to purchase? I am looking at Alesis Harmony 61 MKII 61-Key Keyboard 🎹 but idk if that’s good or not. Can you assist me in that please? This is a beautiful video & can’t wait to learn from your tutorials
Sure! I guess I need more info on exactly what you want to do. Generically I can tell you that I always suggest a person purchase an 88 weighted keyboard. A lot of digital pianos are 88 keys and the keys are weighted. The one I suggest to purchase is a Yamaha P-45 digital piano. If you want to, feel free to DM me on IG and I can further understand what it is you are trying to do and give you different options. I'm @houseofjaz on IG if you need more info. Have fun on your piano playing journey! 😁🎹
Absolutley Beautiful. My all time favorite Lutha song. Ive been trying to learn the piano for a while now an your tutorials have really helped. Do you offer a class or online lessons for those who want to learn more than the tutorials? Im trying to figure out why you are playing those chords (theory). Hope to hear back from you. Stay Blessed
I.just.can’t ... AMAZING!!! Sir Jaz ... PLEASE TAKE A BREAK!!! 😉 ... the mega-CLASSICS are coming too fast! 😉 Luther + Nat Adderley Jr = MAGIC. The Carpenters original is also very cool. Thanks again ... 🙏🏽
@@houseofjaz I stand correct, I am thinking about the published version of the song in print! Sorry about that, I think they did it in the key of G which is the way I leaned it. Thanks! Both sound great!
A little bit of negativity coming... You've got a beautiful, beautiful voice. I could listen to you sing all day. But is this a piano tutorial or a singing lesson? You're fully equipped to do tutorials. Just play it. We can see & hear the chords and how you're playing them. All the singing and the "hit this and then hit that" is confusing and just drags out a song that is all ready long enough,
What about the people over the years that say that they come to my videos because of how I sing (or try to at least hum if I'm familiar with the song) while demonstrating the song? They say it helps them know where I am in the song. People say they appreciate the way I break down every chord. I'm told almost daily that they find it hard to follow other tutorial channels because it's a race for them. I would hate to just switch up on them out of nowhere. A lot of these people support me via my Patreon & PayPal. I would have a lot to consider to suddenly switch my style when I have a decent amount of people following my videos and financially supporting me. I'm sorry my method confuses you but I hope you understand why I pretty much have to stick to what is working for me & my supporters.
@@houseofjaz Yep, I understand. Don't mind me. Unlike most people I don't have the tolerance for all the talking. Just show me what you're doing. Normally I'll use Synthesia, which is not always accurate but I can put it together if the chords are correct. Surprisingly, there are only 2 other tutorials for this popular song . Some other guy who is also doing the "press this, then press that" thing rather than revealing the chords, which annoys me so and another guy who's showing the notes with no chatter, but the chords are off. I guess I'll have to stop being lazy and pull the notes from the original song. Again, don't mind me. There are a lot of folks who love your tutorials so keep up the good work.
I like it but something sounds not quite right...could be just me. Like at the 2:23 mark I keep hearing higher notes on the end of some of those phrases on the song that really give it a heart tug.
It's taken a while, but I found my favorite tutorials... THANK YOU SO MUCH got these Luther tutorials. I miss him so much and love singing his stuff (even his covers like this). A MILLION times thank you.
This arrangement is so beautiful. Can't wait to get to my keyboard. Thank you 🙏🏽
It is SOOO fulfilling when playing just a part of it! I bought a Luther piano book of his songs
Really glad I stumbled on this
Beautiful teaching skills Sir
I've always wanted to learn to play this song. Thank you for sharing this gem. Blessings
He songs transition to the next song is what gets me everytime
Never realized how simple this was lol Thank you!!!
I love this song and i had no idea it was pretty simple to play thanks to you.

Those chords are pretty accurate according to my own ear. They’re almost exactly what I pull off the record. Great work!
Great job on this one! Technically a bit more complicated then others but you made it easy! Awesome!
Great job ! I love your tutorial because it's wholistic, from theory to what keys to play.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've waited such a long time for a tutorial like this. So much detail. Amazing!!!!
Thanks Binaural! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!! 🎹👍😎
Sir Jaz you did that classic justice off the chain bro I'm learning that one right away just to have it on cap
Have fun learning this CLASSIC Sir Shades!!! 🎹😎👍
Wow your amazing. Thank you 🙏🏽
