    I love how you played it in the same key that Billy currently plays it in to accommodate with his aging voice.
    Not only that, but I love how you said “and I just say” right before transitioning to the piano solo like Billy. Very marvelous cover right there!

    Bloody fantastic, just love it and I've heard about 200 concerts of this song by BJ. My favourite song. I've got over 250 bootlegs at least.
    I think a new updated version again would be great, just for variety with a few of BJ newer things he does with the song. What do you think Steve?

      I always took that line to be like a "mad lib".....you know, he says (insert your name).....rather than "Bill" being part of the lyric. It annoys some people that I do that, but I just think it would be strange to sing it without using my own name. ;-) Thanks!

    This is my all time favourite song, great cover. I've been adapting my rendition of this song for years. I am familiar with the right hand riff used here between 3:15 and 3:36 but have never been able to master it. I need it broke down a bit slower. I'm not very good at reading music so I mainly play by ear. Also I play it in the original key of C as opposed to the key of Bb used here. If I could get some assistance breaking down the right hand riff for them measures that would be immensely appreciated.

    • @PianoManSteve
      @PianoManSteve  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes....I'm in Bb.....I'm cheating a little bit using the transposition function on my keyboard and actually playing it in C. I had to learn it backwards and forwards in C to do the tutorial videos, and I just didn't want to take the time to get all the fills and the solo down in Bb LOL. I'm using a Hohner Marine Band Harmonica in the key of Bb. Thanks! :-)

    Steve, this is absolutely fantastic. I'm a HUGE fan of Billy despite my age and where I live, and have listened to many covers of this song, and yours is by far the best. I honestly think you have a better voice than Billy.
    Also, if you don't mind me asking, what state are you from? I can normally make out accents from different states but can't quite work out yours.

    • @PianoManSteve

    • @feedly4187
      @feedly4187 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I suggest learning playing by ear. It is the best way of learning to play songs like this. Then you can learn to play this song perfectly even in one hour. If you can play only sheet music you are better for pieces like Beethoven etc.

Would you consider filming this version from another angle, so that we can see what you'are playing? Especially short licks like in 1:08 or the amazing variations 2:20-2:40 and 3:15-3:35 and 4:45...

If you ever get a chace, there are 2 songs I would love to see you do lessons on: You're The One That I Want (from Grease) and Daydream Believer (Monkees). Nobody teaches those songs on youtube properly, but they're songs everybody knows and loves. Thanks and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your album!
