HDpiano Hello! If I may ask you to teach us "Small Memory" by Jon Hopkins? The song is around 1 minute and 30 seconds. I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you so much for your time and consideration. Please continue to keep up the excellent work.
This has been my favourite song since I was a little girl, and I've been trying to will myself to learn it all these years but the sheet music always intimidates the hell out of me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this.
Yes I have heard of this song and I happen to think that it is the most beautiful song that Bonnie Raitt has ever sung!! It always brings tears to my eyes when I hear her sing it with such love and emotion.She really knows how to pour her heart into this song. Great job Bonnie Raitt. More Kleenex please!!
Heard it by bon iver. One of the most beautiful melancholy piano sets ever made. I dont know how to play piano at all but i rly wanna Just start trying to learn this one right of the bat.
Did you figure out how to slow the video down? Tap the video, select the settings icon, go to playback speed and there you have it. Turn the volume down a tad as it will drive you nuts. Hope this helps.
Thank you for a great cover tutorial lesson… Here is the Lyrics I can’t make you love if you won’t By Bonnie Raitt Turn down the lights Turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me Tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize Don't patronize me 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't I'll close my eyes, then I won't see The love you don't feel when you're holding me Morning will come and I'll do what's right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
Love this version of the song and this tutorial sounds great and very accurate. Unfortunately my fingers on my left hand just aren't ready to stretch far enough for some of these chords. Do you have any tips for exercises to improve the movement in my hands for this type of thing?
Nearly all the Guitar/piano versions in the internet reflect Bon.....I've learnt this by ear listening to Bonnie...different key! Black note alert!.........how I wish I could sing nicely......
The first time I heard this song was a cover on X factor by Isaac Waddington. Then I looked up the song By Bon Iver and now this is one of my favorite songs.
Very great video. Much appreciated. I heard the Bon Iver version first. Hey.... what do I do if I have tiny hands? :[ gonna have to rewrite the whole piece for my lil elf fairy fingers.
Treat them as "flicked" notes, almost think about landing on that note RIGHT before the chord, as if that finger is "out front" of the rest of the fingers.

7:49 Try using the speed controls to go at your own pace! Think about the pinky G as being your static note, and the bottom notes are the ones that move. The main melody is C-D-E-D-C, but there is a little flick of D# before the E, and then on the descent, Eb flick before the D. Hope this helps!
i heard the non iver version first. i wondered if it was a cover or not. i’ll be sure to check out bonnie raitt. could you recommend me any other similar artists with music like this? it is very inspiring
Great tutorial. Been playing piano for 6 weeks and got this down now. Are the subsequent parts harder?? I note it says it's an advanced level on your website?
please hd piano is it possible that you would make a music of The Fray - Vienna in tutorial ? your tutorials i can't make you make me, is very beautiful ! !

Are you playing an 88 key piano? I followed your pattern exactly and it just didn't jazz. I figured it out regardless just based on the fact that it was much easier to sound out being played slowly

Thanks so much for this tutorial - I’m signing up to the website to get the rest of it! My question is, is it possible to transpose a song like this, or will it be too complicated?? I can’t reach the vocals in this key - any advice??
Great job, mate! What do you record those with? I'd like to play a song and post it on Twitter for my friends but I don't have an idea how to make a record :-)

Hey, sorry to bother. Do you think you can listen and play "I will take you home" by the grateful dead?
Im so happy i found a channel that really teaches you how to play the piano rather than just leaving it up to you to figure it out on your own
Cheers, Richard
5:30 i consider myself to have pretty long fingers and i'm pulling my finger as hard as i can to reach that stretch and still can't reach
10ths are hard (if not impossible) for most people, so learn a nice "rolling" technique that covers all notes in a short swoop.
I consider myself someone with tiny hands and I got it after a few month's practice.
I know! It’s not happening for me:(
or just leave out the last note and play the first two
Same! I either leave out the note or lower the A note by 1 octave. Doesn't sound exactly the same, but pretty similar
Bonnie Raitt. I’m a huge 80’s-90’s guy and this song is a definite tear jerker with the best of them
Totally.
This has been my favourite song since I was a little girl, and I've been trying to will myself to learn it all these years but the sheet music always intimidates the hell out of me. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this.
just the courteous mentioning of the notes from left-hand left right and then your right hand. I’m very grateful.
YALL SHOULD DO MORE BON IVER!! ❤❤
The most beautiful piece of piano I’ve ever heard
Yes I have heard of this song and I happen to think that it is the most beautiful song that Bonnie Raitt has ever sung!! It always brings tears to my eyes when I hear her sing it with such love and emotion.She really knows how to pour her heart into this song. Great job Bonnie Raitt. More Kleenex please!!
Some of the most beautiful music and chords ever. For me Bonnie Raitt was first time. I've loved her song for years and would listen on repeat
Ahh yes, beautiful.
I heard the Bon Iver version first. Really love this song!
Yayyy!
thank you for posting these videos. speaking as someone who can't afford private piano lessons, this has provided opportunity to learn.
Truly our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Heard it by bon iver. One of the most beautiful melancholy piano sets ever made. I dont know how to play piano at all but i rly wanna Just start trying to learn this one right of the bat.
We actually performed this arrangement for our jazz choir this year. arranged by Kerry Marsh. amazing piece that gets stuck in my head all the time!
Nice!
is there a video? that sounds awesome
It's about time someone teaches that isn't filled with ads. I'm a beginner, so I wish you would slow it down a little
Did you figure out how to slow the video down? Tap the video, select the settings icon, go to playback speed and there you have it. Turn the volume down a tad as it will drive you nuts. Hope this helps.
I love this song and this version especially. Thank you! :)
We do, too! You're welcome.
iv been waiting so long for someone to do this cover .. sounds almost identical .. thanks
So glad you like our accuracy!
First heard Bonnie Raitt love it but then heard Tank sing it 🔥🔥🔥🔥 the Piano gives me chills every time!!
I heard it from Adele first! Bon Iver, Bonnie Raitt, and Adele's are all soooo good!
Yesss!
Could you do a tutorial on, no one knows me like the piano by sampha?
I heard the Bon Iver one first. Love this song. Thank you for this tutorial🙏
You're welcome!
For personal reference:
0:35 - intro riffing
1:04 - proper intro
Thanks!
You have no clue how much I appreciate this tutorial, thank you so much
I can’t reach the left hand A key at 5:30, I have tiny hands. Is there another way to play it or can I just omit the A note? :/
THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO ON TH-camEE
Glad you love it!
LOL "shout-out to the Center of Disease Control"
I'm dead.
This was very helpful, thank you so much!
Hah!
How nice is this guy? Good vibes
Aw thanks, Kyle
I heard it first at the panic at the disco concert so I'm learning this to play it into dying in la
Same omg 😮❤️
But I think you need to set everything a whole note higher to fit the actual key of Dying in LA
Lucas Cooper Same. I literally had a breakdown
Omg same ❤️❤️
YES! I love this song! Can't wait to give it a try!
Woohoo!
My god man... Absolutely brilliant work, thanks a bunch, this song is for the feel train hahahaha but im playing this now. G day :)
Thanks, Roberto!!
Thank you for a great cover tutorial lesson…
Here is the Lyrics
I can’t make you love if you won’t
By Bonnie Raitt
Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
Love this version of the song and this tutorial sounds great and very accurate. Unfortunately my fingers on my left hand just aren't ready to stretch far enough for some of these chords. Do you have any tips for exercises to improve the movement in my hands for this type of thing?
I really love this song but as hard as I try I still can't reach that stretch.... it's so hard!!!
Small hands?! Not to worry, this video lays out a likely solution! th-cam.com/video/oLMtYDWq5pw/w-d-xo.html
i just changed the first one to a 1st inversion Cmaj and the second one into just a Dm and it sounded pretty much the same :)
Sameeee
I never felt like I had small hands until learning this lol.
Im here again trying to learn this beauty.thanks for the tutorial
Thank YOU
1:17 brings that SOUL
MmmmmmmHMMmmmm. That blue note.
What i was thinking as well
Nearly all the Guitar/piano versions in the internet reflect Bon.....I've learnt this by ear listening to Bonnie...different key! Black note alert!.........how I wish I could sing nicely......
Oh boy!
@@HDpiano Thank for your work dude...I'd forgot how easy and hard this was to play. Isn't music special?
"little shout out to the CDC" T_T

Very great video. Much appreciated. I heard the Bon Iver version first. Hey.... what do I do if I have tiny hands? :[ gonna have to rewrite the whole piece for my lil elf fairy fingers.
Excellent video. Really helpful. Thank you!!!
Much love, Tom!
Anyone have any tips on the grace notes at 7:50? I can't figure it out. Ugh
Treat them as "flicked" notes, almost think about landing on that note RIGHT before the chord, as if that finger is "out front" of the rest of the fingers.
Thanks very much for putting this together - loving learning this
Our pleasure, Ben!
those chords are tough!!!
But so pretty!
truuuue. took a little time, but i'm almost there! still getting used to that Dm lol. thanks a bunch for all you guys do!
S/O CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL WE OUT HERE!!

Candy Dulfer's Sax version was always my favourite.

I have got small hands, sausage fingers.. but I've just bought a piano to play this song. Wish me luck. I'll need it!
Haha, good luck!!! You may benefit from this video: th-cam.com/video/oLMtYDWq5pw/w-d-xo.html
What’s the notes for that bluesy lick with the d sharp? Tried sooo many times to learn this bit but still struggling.
7:49 Try using the speed controls to go at your own pace!
Think about the pinky G as being your static note, and the bottom notes are the ones that move. The main melody is C-D-E-D-C, but there is a little flick of D# before the E, and then on the descent, Eb flick before the D. Hope this helps!
i heard the non iver version first. i wondered if it was a cover or not. i’ll be sure to check out bonnie raitt. could you recommend me any other similar artists with music like this? it is very inspiring
Maybe Joni Mitchell?
It's not the most technical piano playing but, it might the most beautiful...
indeed!
Can u please teach us how to play "it's hard to say goodbye "
8:25
Yippeee
Great tutorial. Been playing piano for 6 weeks and got this down now. Are the subsequent parts harder?? I note it says it's an advanced level on your website?
They are all a good bit challenging!
i cant say i ever heard any of the 2 choices before, i absolutely love to cover George Micheal did though!
:))
BONNIVER😂😂👏🏼
;)
✨ thanks
Thank YOU.
Is the full sheet music for this song a piano accompaniment or a full piano song that plays the melody?
Sheet matches the tutorial, so accomp :)
Can I request for Mia and Sebastian's theme from La La Land? BTW Nice vid man, and I'm excited to try this.

Okay but how do i dislocate my left thumb and pinky to stretch across 10 keys
Oh my god yesssss
Really wish you didn’t have to sign up for part 2. Was loving this tutorial and now I don’t know the chorus
We have a bunch of completely free lessons available on the site, no signup or strings attached. Give it a try before coming to any conclusions! hdpiano.com/search/free/yes/
@HDpiano my conclusion is I have to learn the chorus to this version of the song somewhere else now.
@Compassionate Living was just about to comment the same thing. Super disappointing 😔
My fingers are too short and thumb to pinky only reach notes up to one octave apart. So I can't even play the first chord on the left hand 😢
Can you please do the Bonnie version??
If you guys want an awesome jazzy version of this song, look out Sophie Millman. Truly remarkable performance. Thanks for the nice tutorial there HD!
Niiiiice, thank you! Enter your request at requests.hdpiano.com! Easy, fast, and fun.

Is this version the same as brendon uries from either his live periscopes or his live performances?
Nope this one is the Bon Iver live version.
Do a lesson of "City of stars" from La La Land!! i would love it

Oh wow!
could you include a part in the video where the song is played without talking?

Thanks so much for this tutorial - I’m signing up to the website to get the rest of it! My question is, is it possible to transpose a song like this, or will it be too complicated?? I can’t reach the vocals in this key - any advice??
If you've got the energy for it! th-cam.com/video/3VQt-jq40rM/w-d-xo.html
What key is his version? Seems like it would be in F but he riffs in C? 🤷🏻♂️
Kind of a mode more than a key, but technically C as there are few to no Bb's.
What if you have sad baby hands and can’t manage that left hand spread
Hi @HDpiano, love this rendition. Where can I purchase the music sheet? The link says it isn't available anymore. Thank you!
Check the link in the pinned comment. The description link has been updated now - thanks for pointing it out. :)
is there a part 2? :)
You bet - All parts to all lessons are featured at hdpiano.com!
I knew Tank and Boys to Men!😂
