How to play GREAT BALLS OF FIRE
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 พ.ย. 2022
- This video is dedicated to the memory of Jerry Lee Lewis (1935-2022). It is impossible to overstate his importance in American music history. He was also one of my original inspirations for studying piano when I was 9 years old, and I have made this video to help spread knowledge of his piano style to those who are interested in learning. I hope you will learn it and help us keep his music alive 😎🤘
Sheet music is available for the full song demonstration at the end of the video: bit.ly/3U04A15

This song has two sections, A and B. Both sections are 8 measures long.

I’m 59yo. Never played piano, never took lessons. Have always wanted to be able to walk into a hotel lobby and sit down at their grand piano and bang out this song. In Feb I received my mother’s 58 yo piano and found this video tutorial. I try to learn/practice every day even if just for 10 minutes. I have all the bits and am now putting the left and rights together. Surprised at how quickly I am learning but also how difficult it is to play as well as you do in the vid. Thank you for posting!
That's great! Good for you for learning piano. It's incredibly rewarding and I hope you enjoy it!!
🎵This is a fantastic tutorial Arthur! Everything you need to learn and perform this classic rock n roll tune is here. Left and right hands, the piano solo, coordination for both hands even the lyrics! A must learn for players in this style. Excellent!🎵
Thank you Dave! Appreciate the encouragement and enthusiasm!
Thanks for a great tutorial. Wish I could have met the man but luckily got to see him perform in 2018. Can’t wait to learn this one.
God bless Jerry Lee
Thank you so much Arthur!!!!! Idolized he since the 50’s
Love this, no bulshit talking and wasting time, straight to the point.
Thank you!!! :-)

Thanks very much!

Hey Goose you big stud! Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank You !!
Fan-freakin’-tastic tutorial! Thanks so much for making it!
Thank you Brian! Glad you enjoy it.
What a fantastic tutorial, excellent. Well done
Many thanks Dean
Great tutorial! Thanks Arthur. 👍🎹
Thanks Rob!
Fantastic tutorial! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
This is amazing - great tutorial, I always wanted to learn this and I knew something strange was going on with that money chord - but I could never figure it out. Wonderful chord. Thanks - I have saved this in my 'watch later' playlist and I will learn it !!
Thank you! Yeah that chord tripped me up for a while too. I actually just had to watch videos of him playing live to check the hand shape and position.
muchas gracias por compartir y enseñar,,,saludos desde Ecatepec Mex,
Thank you!
Arthur again you’ve unlocked a world of FUN for me. Thanks for this one!!
But now after months of drilling boogie & blues I have to UN-unlearn playing straight eighths and accenting the 1! 😂
You got this! ;-)
Thank you for a great lesson, this is the best I've met.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
GET DOWN!!!!!! GREAT LESSON, CLASSIC SONG!!!
Thanks Ray!
Nice 👍
wow just realized that this has been published 9 days ago :D just at the moment when I wanted to learn this song. Perfect timing. I started to play the piano last month. I can play the parts on separate hands but playing both it is just impossible at the moment. Then, I will have to add the singing. Scary but fun :D
Perfect timing! Enjoy! It might take a little work but be patient and persistent and you’ll get it. 😎
Gràcies!!
Fantastic tutorial Arthur 👏👏👏 love the on screen lyrics 🎤 and emojis 🔥😀😀
Haha thank you! That was a little extra editing in perfect video
@@thearthurmigliazza I wondered if you had used Perfect Video as I recognized the style 😀😀😀
Wish all tutorials were as clear as this. Most teachers want to show off n don’t really help you to learn.
WOW!!!!! This is it!
Enjoy! 😃
Rest in Peace He was so great!
He really was!
That's Great
Thanks Yury!
thank you
Thank you!
Best tutorial ever
Thank you kindly!
You put on a suit to make this tutorial: that's dedication LOL
Thanks
😂 trying to make it classy
Thanks!
Thanks Elijah! Really appreciate it! Great to see you again.
🔥🙏
I know the man was getting old, but seeing this video has alerted me that Jerry has passed. I am sad he has died but happy to know he had a great life and gave us his passion for rock and roll. I believe he had more God given raw talent than Elvis ever did. Had he not married his first cousin his popularity would had shadowed Elvis. Thank you for keeping this man’s music alive. God Bless !
The money chord is fantastic!
Thanks for watching! It really is a powerful chord, isn't it.
Thanks
Thank you!!
Thank you! I tried with HD piano a couple of months ago, but didn't work out. Your tutorial is so much more helpful
Thanks Anton!
@@thearthurmigliazzaForgot everything about this song, now I'm back 10 months later, trying to learn it again, I'm 2 days in so far and it's going great. Can't wait till I can play the whole song. Thank you again for this video!
Cheers Anton welcome back! @@AntonOrSomething
I think it should be reported that the tempo in the "all togheter part" is at 0.75x speed of the original song
I think left hand does octaves
rip jerry
Got NoLa written all over IT
Your channel would increase significantly if you focused more on these type of tutorial videos. Post at least 3 a week, full length and free. Then start knocking out a public piano performance at least once a week. Keep this upload schedule and I promise you could make youtube your full time career. Godspeed.
