As a competent guitar & fiddle player I have a good understanding of music and harmony. I am now teaching myself piano and this is a wonderful piece of music to work with. Working both hands together to create music is both inspiring and motivating. It is important to find songs or pieces of music that speak to you when learning. Full credit to Bitesize Piano for a wonderful and really useful lesson. Also the other bonus, is I feel totally inspired to once again delve back into my Rufus Wainwright cd's for other gems to learn.
You are truly an awesome instructor little lady !! If I had had a teacher like you back in my childhood years when I took piano lessons, (ages 9-12), (as opposed to a woman who hit my fingers hard with a ruler each time I made a mistake) I would most likely have continued.....I hope you will take this compliment as a "nudge to continue what you are awesome at !! Thank you again !!
Thank you for this very easy to follow lesson 70 yrs old beginner I will have to learn it in smaller sections for it to stick with my brain 😀🇬🇧thank you so muchx
Happens to be my favorite version. Not because its necessarily the best- thats always debatable. I guess just because of the time, place, & company where i first heard this version, i guess im sentimental like that. - you do the best (i mean my favorite lol) versions of songs.
Great tutorial, found it a bit more doable at the beginning by instead of breaking up the chords by notes to just play them as full chords to get the cadence
Hi Fransesca, thanks for the video. I have been playing piano for 6 months now. Repeating is key to succes, but is it true that the longer you play the less you hve to repeat and the faster it gets to get a piece together?
Hey! That's absolutely true, the longer you've been playing, your memory improves, pattern recognition improves (which is why learning scales and chords is important), your coordination improves as well as finger/hand strength. Repeat repeat repeat is key! But slowly and correctly each time.
I personally think you should change the E minor chord to an E major chord. That way, the G sharp is leading toward the A in half a tone. I kinda don’t like using the natural minor scale if the harmonic minor scale sounds better. I’ve heard someone play the E chord with a G sharp instead of a G natural and I thought it sounded better because the resolution to the relative minor sounds stronger with the raised seventh instead of the natural seventh.
It completely depends what you’re playing. I’ve made videos as a guide of which fingers to use th-cam.com/video/5cJcLkCBrKU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LrGYIPfXDkqaUZ5q th-cam.com/video/Cm0O4IhLcPY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QSfnsZkMI9Y4YYAE
The beauty of videos, is that you can pause, rewatch and slow it down. One pace isn’t going to suit every single person. I also receive comments saying I go too slow and explain too much 😂 Remember it’s free, so it isn’t going to be a bespoke video for you.
@@BitesizePiano hi I'm practicing this, just wondering if there's any music sheet available so I can see where the left and right hand line up? Should I play the left hand at the beginning of every first 2 notes on the right hand?

Thanks you so much for your video. Do You have the sheet music?
Finally!! The version I was looking for

I could not contain sleepiness I have to sleep for a moment, thanks for the important chords in piano plays.

You’re videos are really useful. If more people more people knew about you I bet they would agree.

Thank you for teaching me Evanscence My Immortal song 😍😍 Now its time for "Hallelujah" ! 🥰 Thanks a bunch
Thanks for this tutorial! I'm going to cover this song with vocals and this tutorial helped a lot!! 😃
Excellent video as always - the song is a little more on the challenging end than some of the pop hooks I’ve been learning but very rewarding
I missed your enthusiasm but just the way it is with not so familiar I always love your playing the piano.
Your videos are so helpful I have learned loads of songs
You are so good at piano

This was so hard to learn. I was so close to throwing a chair at my piano
I have because of this song 😢
I'll be completely honest here, it's really not that hard.

Thanks! At the moment i find it sometimes hard to find the rhytmic pattern. What is a good exercise for rhytm? Thanks alot!
Hello thank you for the lesson
🤗🎹
such a great tutorial! thank you very much! it was clearly explained :))
Glad it was helpful!
خیلی ممنون واقعا فوقالعاده بود ممنون
You are rally good
Can you play 7 rings
Thank you very very much
You are most welcome :)
Thanks,I was looking for a version without the melody,but I have one question, Is this in the original version?
This is based on the Rufus Wainwright version. The song is originally by Leonard Cohen.
@@BitesizePiano Thanks
Wow it took me over 4 weeks to learn the song/patterns, i play half a year now. Is that normal? Do you have some tips regarding rhytm
I personally think you should change the E minor chord to an E major chord. That way, the G sharp is leading toward the A in half a tone. I kinda don’t like using the natural minor scale if the harmonic minor scale sounds better.

Just teaching the chords used in the song 👍
Can you teach us Cry cry cry - Coldplay please?
I am now aware of unfamiliar chords please have some more of it.
Make it very easy to learn, is it possible in future to make it more clear where the lyrics come into play
Other than that best tutorials i can find
I’m just starting to learn piano. Is there no “correct” way to line up your fingers and it just changes from song to song?

For the arpeggiated part I think you miswrote the left hand where it’s actually F A F C and not F A F A C
Yeah it's probably a typo! Whoops!

Is it the real chord ?
What do you mean?
🎶 Is it a fantasy 🎶
Andy Brown is this just fantasy*****
caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
My hands are small😭
Why the god you don’t write instructions every time you start playing,,, I hate to see the screen all white . Gosh!,
The point pal, is that you're MEANT to write things down. Again, this is a very early tutorial of mine. Gosh!
I was trying to write it down.. still i found it difficult... Coz u weren't repeating it
Are you mocking me ?? By saying "gosh"
