Tutorial of Walking in Memphis, originally recorded by Marc Cohn but the later covered by the group Lonestar. This is a great song that features the piano as the main instrument. If you learn to play this, you can perform it for anyone!
Easy to learn! You don't need to know piano theory! You don't need to know piano theory, notes, or music. It's Easy to learn with Music Made Easy - Piano Without Theory.
Playing the piano can be much easier than you might think! You can find lots of videos where they talk about chords, notes, rhythm, and all kinds of technical jargon. At Music Made Easy, you'll learn to play songs that everyone will recognize, and you'll learn it in minutes.
It's fun to be able to sit down to a piano or keyboard and show off to your friends and family. Even if you can't play the whole song, playing the melodies that everyone remembers and can relate to will make you a piano player. Come along with me on a journey of learning to play the piano without having to know musical theory.
Equipment used:
Roland RD2000 Stage Piano
Logic X
Focusrite Saffire Pro 40
XLR Lavalier Microphone MAONO AU-XLR10
GoPro Hero 5 (Keyboard shot)
Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (Main shot)
Hitch Phone Tripod
Ring light - บันเทิง

Hi Ben I'm actually from Liverpool but I'm out in the Middle East in a beautiful place called Oman.
Oh wow! That's awesome!! You'll get a kick out of me doing an British accent in my video next week as part of explaining one of my pets names! LOL! Are you working in the Middle East? I'm so glad you still have time for watching Music Made Easy while you're there!!
@@BenBennett10 I am Ben I look forward to your British accent 🤣🤣
Ha ha! It'll make you laugh!!
Very nice Ben I'm a new member and love it-I am actually starting to sound pretty good. Thanks much. CHEERS!!
Awesome!!! Thanks so much Terry for being part of the Music Made Easy Community and for going through the archives and watching/listening to some of the stuff I've done prior! I'm so glad you're loving it and actually playing the piano now!!!
OMG!!! Another GEM 💎 that I missed! Good thing I stopped by your channel today!!
WOW!!! I am glad you stopped by the channel today too!!! You are an animal watching all of these videos today!!! I'm impressed!!!
You are a pro in this
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
I haven't disappeared Ben.... hope to soon be able to play/sing this back to you!
I would love that, Donna! Glad all is ok for you! We have to worry about each other in this strange world we are living in right now....
Thanks so much for this! I am a new subscriber and I love how you take a great song and break it down so we beginners can play it. I am taking lessons and learning the notes and theory but this, this feeds my need to play something real. Thank you so much again! I would like to make a request; I also am a lover of Journey and Steve Perry, do you think you'll ever do one on When You Love a Woman? My 67th birthday is coming up next month and I would love to be able to play this for my kids. You're doing something great here!
Thank you so much, Rose!!! That is SO awesome that you found my channel!! What you talked about is EXACTLY why I created Music Made Easy! I want people to be able to play real songs, real fast! I always reply back to comments, so leave me one on each and every video you watch. That way we can get to know each other...
This is really cool, love what you're doing here!
Thank you so much, Jason! You are a GREAT pianist, so a compliment from you is a real compliment! Thanks for joining the Music Made Easy Community and being a part of all this! I'm thinking that in an upcoming video of mine, I should give YOUR CHANNEL a shoutout! (If that's ok with you) It will show them what they can aspire to be!
Absolutely, glad to be able to see your playing and teaching! And that would be AWESOME if you wanted to shout out my channel! Haha
I'll do it! I'm a few weeks out on my video recordings, so although I'll do it in my next video I record, you won't see it until the beginning of November.
@@BenBennett10 that's really cool of you, looking forward to it! And I'll definitely link to the video once it's up!
@@TheChillest you bet! I'll let you know for sure which one it is!
💜🎹 amazing video!!!
Oh wow!! Thank you SO much! I'm glad that you found the channel! What did you think of it overall? Worth subscribing and spending 10 minutes or so with me each week? 😉🎹🎶
Of course it worth it!! I appreciate your work 🎹🤗 good job!! Your chanel is very amazing
That is so nice to hear!! Thank you so much!! I hope you get a chance to go back and watch the videos already on the channel, and a new video drops every Sunday at 12pm Mountain Time in the US. Where are you from?
It would be really amazing!!! Count with me for to watch some videos, certainly will help me so much... I'm from Brazil 🌎🤗
Ah! Brazil!! I have been there!!! Loved it!!!
Thanks again!! Now if you could help me out on the piano part of China Grove!!🤪
China Grove, huh? I'll have to figure out how to play that one on the piano myself. I have played it a TON on the drums though!!! LOL!!
Hey Ben i would love you to cover anything from The Carpenters.
Hi Riccardo! The Carpenters is an excellent suggestion! I'll look into something I can learn and arrange in an easy way for you and the rest of the hang here at Music Made Easy! Thanks for the comment!! 🎹👍
It's easy when you play an easy version of the song, but to play it like it's played in the original AND sing, it's not so easy. The Chorus Part, the second verse, and the blues part is quiet something to learn. Definitely advanced or intermediate beginner.
You're so right, Captain!!
Hi 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
I knew that the video would be downloaded now.
I'm so glad that you were checking for this week's tutorial right when it released! You're an awesome member of the Music Made Easy Community!! Thank you so much!!
@@BenBennett10
You're welcome ❤❤🥰🥰
Truly glad to have you here! Share this channel with others and let them know they should check it out!
@@BenBennett10
Well my friends don't like Music 😂😔
Oh! Darn! You need to help them like it then!!!👍
I've been working on this for a week now and I've got the first part, just need to speed it up a bit. But the chorus is stumping me, I can't seem to get my hand to stretch a full octave. How is this done with smaller hands??
With smaller hands, you can move your fingers to the very ends of the keys so that just the tip of your pinkie and thumb are hitting the keys. OR, you don't have to play octaves and you can just play the lower note!! 🎹👍
@@BenBennett10 Thanks Ben, I've already tried the first suggestion with not so great results so I'm going to try the other one, I'll let you know how it goes.
Perfect! Do let me know how it goes. I am interested in your progression with the piano! And, keep practicing at stretching your fingers to an octave. It IS possible for those with smaller hands, but it takes some experimentation to find what works best for you! 🎹👍
Great video, but it’s missing the bridge 🙁
Hey there!! Thanks for stopping by. Yes, I left the bridge out in order to keep the basic part of the song as simple as I could for people to learn. Sorry I didn't include it in this one.... Maybe I should make an updated version. I appreciate you stopping by Music Made Easy, and leaving a comment!! Thank you! 🎹👍
It’s basically a 1-5-1 pattern.
yep - you're right!
That chorus is just killing me. The intro/main riff is no problem. Still an excellent video tho
Hey there, superman!! How can I help? If there is anything I can explain differently, let me know. I want you to be successful with this!! 🎹👍
It’s the second and third chords on the right hand. I always mess those up by hitting the wrong notes or playing the chords more than I need to. Still this is a great video and I appreciate the reply 👍
Ah! So the G chord coming off if the F Chord and then the Inverted C chord. Right? Do you know inversions? Me and you COULD just use standard chords in those spots and it might make it easier for you. I also have a video that really explains inversions well that might help you. I know you can do this, Superman!!!! 🎹👍
Why none of these tutorials give me the part where he goes to “Hollywood” and says “ma’am I am (Christian) tonight”…
Hi Lauri! I'm sorry if there is a part missing that you're struggling with. Inside that tutorial quite a while back.... Let me listen to a recording of the song and see what is missing in the tutorial. I believe all the chords and "pieces" are there to play that part as well, I might not have talked through it, but the music is very much the same throughout the song . Let me know how I can help. 👍🎹
sorry you have missed a lot.
I'm sorry too
