wow , my eyes (and ears ) 🙂lit up when i saw you did this song ... and wasnt disapointed ( at all ) , also your minute by minute by the doobie brothers / michael mcdonald sounded great too , thanks for sharing your amazing gift with all of us !!!🙂
@@dariuswitherspoon Honor and a privilege my brother I like your personal touch to Anita Baker's Sweet Love. I can play it also and when I play it I jump from Sweet Love to Nite and Day by Al B Sure it has the same feel sometimes. It's a small world you just might meet Anita Baker.
Excellent version from you 👍👏😍 Anita Baker is absolutely great 🙂💗 stay safe and healthy further 🙏🍀 greetings from north germany 🇩🇪 to you in the USA 🇺🇸 🙋♂️🎹🎼🎵🐶
this is soooo good! i saw her play live in columbia, maryland many years ago...good memories! your piano playing is excellent (as usual) take care my friend! God Bless You!
Darius, do you play everything by ear? If you do that’s honestly more impressive than reading sheets cause you just feel the song and can replicate it in your own style. I wanna start playing by ear, but i probably have to start learning chord progressions.
Yes, I play entirely by ear. It's a lot of fun. It developed over time. Applying simple concepts and understand chord relationships is very useful. Even if you can't nail the song perfectly, getting a feel of the mood and rhythm is very helpful. It helped me get through the most difficult tunes. Start with easier tunes. There are so many tutorials to get you started.
bigkyle38 Actually, I don't, but there are several tutorials available on TH-cam. If you can't afford formal lessons, there are many videos with tips to get you started.
Hi Darius! Very cool version of Sweet Love! Check out my TH-cam Chanel I just started. So far I have one Anita Baker song but planning to sing and record many more. Unfortunately I’m only recording with my phone as I’m still trying to figure out how to do my professional quality recordings with equipment I purchased. What do you use to record? Is it ok if I record myself singing to your recordings?
You are always welcome to sing to my videos. It's been a challenge trying to find better ways to get better sound on these videos. I'm still researching other methods.
One of my favorite Anita Baker songs!! Love the feel
@@brianmuratori3206 Thanks so much, Brian. I haven't played this one in a while. 😄

Nice one. I’m working on Talk To Me then I will do Sweet Love.
Thank you! I'm working on "Talk to Me," too. Trying to work out the rough parts.
Wish I could do that😊
You can. I'm looking forward to sharing things soon.
Looking forward to it
can I already download it on Spotify !?
I'm sure. I never tried it. Don't know a lot about Spotify, but I'm sure there is a way.
damn..im charged.
Lol! That's what's up! Thanks!!!
What kind of keyboards do you use?
Tino Longo Korg Kronos X. Nord Piano 2 for piano. Still have the Yamaha DX7 II fd. I use it for '80s tunes.
Darius Witherspoon thank you
