Thank you for not simplifying it into an easier arrangement like most tutorials do, it's always so much more enjoyable to play when you retain the complexity of the song as it was played on the original record! Big fan of your channel and your lessons, hope to see more of your tutorials for other covers you've uploaded in the near future! :)
That's a very nice compliment! Thank you for it. There's a dilemma which I understand: it's good to make the music accessible, but on the other hand, Brian Wilson's music is detailed, subtle, and not always accessible by nature.
Just starting this lesson, but love the pace and detail. Thank you!
played piano as a kid,. played guitar for many years.getting back to piano after three decades in nashvilleplaying guitar.love your tutorial
Thanks! Good luck with the piano, and please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
You have picked a fantastic song to help people like myself . Your diligence in showing every move of your fingers is fantastic. I have tried so many times to follow what people have tried to show without luck . Thank you for showing real patience in teaching.
What a lovely compliment! You are welcome, and thank you for saying such nice things!
Thank You , i m from argentina, just wanted to mention, your help is very appreciated Even very close to the south pole
imuchas gracias!
Thanks for this. The other tutorials definitely don’t have the insanely complex lower parts. I’ve played piano by ear for almost 30 years. Always wanted to learn this song. Thank you
I am so glad to be of help! This song has impacted and inspired me like few others could ever do.
Great video 👍👍👍
I’m sure many wud agree... the “line cliche” in the second half of each verse, culminating in the A# half dim & A, is a def a harmonic high point.., so gorgeous.
My favourite piano teacher. Thanks for the recording accurate arrangements. And thanks for not having part 2 hidden behind a paywall. Subscribed!
Aw, thanks! Welcome! So glad you're enjoying it.
Excellent tutorial!!!
This is fantastic. I have a great ear for learning, but I am traditionally a vocalist and string player. I would never have been close on this. Copping the feel won’t work on this. I appreciate that you take the time to explain the chords rather than just show the motion. All or nothing. I should have this down in ten years (lol). Thank you kindly. Jefrey
This is such a lovely compliment, clearly coming from an experienced and knowledgable musician! Thanks so much for listening and commenting. Good luck practicing this - and I well know how tough it is trying to learn and play while not utilizing one's primary instrument. Let's just say it's a very, very good thing I'm not making any guitar videos and tutorials, LOL!
Thank you very much for this tutorial (I’ve been waiting it for so long…!!) and for taking your time making tutorials of the Beach Boys. Greetings from🇪🇨 God bless you👋🏻
¡de nada! I am sorry I cannot complete these any faster... time is hard to find.
I’ve always wanted to play this, thanks so much! 😃
You're welcome! Enjoy!!
I really learned a lot from this tutorial thank you so much
So glad to hear! You're welcome!
I love the theory sprinkled throughout. I think it’s great for my (self diagnosed) ADHD.
Too bad sarcasm doesn't register well over the internet. Otherwise I could tell you that what you said is completely unrelatable to me, and absolutely doesn't hit close to home in any way whatsoever. ;)
@@seerup101 hahaha! Yeah too bad!
Good!
Mil gracias
You’re the man 👍
Thank god, some one who finally doesn’t dumb the song down.
It's a tricky balance with songs by Brian Wilson, because you risk alienating people who shy away from tricky chords and/or wide thumb-to-pinky spans. But I, for one, am fascinated by playing as close as I can to what the original musicians did on the record. Thanks for the compliment!
Very nice thank you. Do you have a tutorial on Surf’s Up from Smile? It’s another Brian Wilson favourite of mine.
Yes, I do! Here you are (it's in two parts):

@@seerup101 Brilliant! He is definitely our Mozart.
Can't disagree with you there in the slightest! Thanks!
Eres grande
more tutorials, please! genial videos!!
Muito obrigado! Espero fazer mais tutoriais em breve!
Where have you been hiding all this time? Great job
Right here in plain sight! In all seriousness, I don't think I yet excite the algorithm much, but maybe I can work to change that over time. In any case, thanks!
Hi Devin! Any chance you’ve written a score for this? Or put this to sheet music? I’m not sure how to ask this question properly. Thanks very much!
Hi there! Long story, but here's the short version: many years ago, I made a Finale score for every Pet Sounds track and a few SMiLE ones as well. Unfortunately, my hard drive crashed over a decade ago and it wasn't backed up. Since then, I've never found the time or will to recreate my Pet Sounds scores; it's whatever is left in my head (and in my videos) at this point, sadly. Better than nothing , I guess. Sorry.
@@seerup101 Wow that really sucks. I’m sorry that happened. That’s painful just thinking about it. And to be honest, my emotional condition is now worse off than it was before since I now know that there actually was once such a score in existence, and that in addition to still not having the sheet music, I now feel the pain of the loss of it. Hopefully some music instructor or whoever will take pity on us and will see an opportunity for an extra credit assignment. I’d give the student community service hours too, as far as I’m concerned.
I'm so sorry, I only meant to paint the full picture, not to make you feel worse! To clarify, it's not an utter impossibility that I might manage to "resurrect" the scores someday from scratch, but it would be a lengthy undertaking, and my life doesn't right now have room for that project for a couple of disparate personal reasons. But that's not to say it won't forever. Chin up! And thanks for watching and appreciating the videos! And thanks for caring about my sob story of personal disorganization. ;)
The chords to this song are absurd
Absurd, and amazing!
