Why the heck don't you have more views and subs. Love the tutorials.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

It's a pretty new channel, but marching on close to 20k! Thanks!!

[@rb8058]

Thanks for spending the extra time on the bass parts. It’s always tripped me up!

[@jackblack3886]

Many thanks for the great tutorial! Really appreciate the commentary. Detached for left hand and staccato for the right!? Well done!! I'll try. Oh, I second the request for Queen!

[@ncmblur1379]

Please stick it through!!!! You have an amazing production quality! And your teaching style and personality are what keeps me watching!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks!! I'm not going anywhere. Channel is growing and I'm having fun. Appreciate your viewership :)

[@TPBass1224]

Thank you, Pierre!!

[@vfx7t]

Thank you !

[@erikmarques1475]

Excellent video! Thanks.

[@blee3ee]

Great tutorial. Would love to learn the vocals on the right hand with the bass :)

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

That's hard, actually. The counterpoint really has to be worked out slowly! If you can read, it's best to do it visually in my opinion.

[@melkarr]

Wow! I had never figured out that it could be played on piano so close to the original version. Thanks!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

You can do anything on the piano :)

[@LenachenUSA]

Thank you. This can be added my singing, cool.

[@michael-weiss-cct]

Hi Pierre... actually quite awesome what you do... helping us learn these very cool songs.... thank you!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

It is my pleasure-- thanks for watching!

[@dennisjones546]

AAH! Brings back fond memories of when i was a lot younger. A classic like so many of Michael’s songs. Is there any way you can do some BeeGee’s? I need to relive even my younger days, LOL.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Love the BeeGees-- in time, yes… there are so many videos that I want to make!!

[@hotsanger_bligh]

I wanna permition for download your video, for learning...tks good lessons.. best regards from Indonesia 😊

[@Patrick-uf1cq]

As usual ..great tutorial. Any chance you could do tutorial on Bowie’s Life on Mars …lovely song.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

It is absolutely on my list!

[@jhn1987]

Excellent tutorial! I’m really enjoying and learning from your tutorials. I find them to be accurate, well paced, and easy to follow. If you have the time, can you do a tutorial on The Load Out / Stay by Jackson Browne? It was a huge hit in 1978 yet there are no good tutorials anywhere on this great song.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Great song, I'll add it to my list. Thank for watching!

[@andrewwright6893]

Superb lesson cheers

[@Tayley101]

Please, do some Queen!

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

oh, it's coming!

[@YTbeber]

Original bass line doesn't play the same pattern on the Bm as on the F#m. The fifth 8th-note is removed.
Yes the key is F#m, as can be seen here on the video by Anthony Marinelli: th-cam.com/video/zKzcR0sUvV0/w-d-xo.html
Best wishes.

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks. On the produced track, that was certainly the right choice! But for practical purposes, especially as a solo piano piece, dropping out completely in the middle of the bar will be pretty jarring. For simplicity’s sake, I prefer keeping the bass line going for the whole bar. Love Marinelli’s videos, thanks for sharing!

[@pianosongbook]

great channel! I love to see, how other pianists are working on great songs... I did "Billie Jean" & "The Girl is mine" as well...maybe you find it inspiring?

[@pierrejpiscitelli]

Thanks! I love your channel too!! I will check out those videos.
