    Once again, kudos to Pierre for this exact, note for note transcription of what I hear when I listen to this classic canonical love song. I have seen so many attempts by other pianists on YT, but THIS is the one and ONLY I save in my piano playlist. 👏👏👏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

      Since you are in a Fender Rhodes mood, I would love to see your take on "Still Crazy After All These Years" by Paul Simon (late Barry Edward Beckett on the Fender Rhodes)...

    Pierre, I have to tell you I've seen all the piano song tutorial guys here and I myself use to do them and I am not even a musician lol. Where were you when this all started 15 years ago? Your format is the combination of all the tutorials styles. Now I have to wait for you to build your catalogue. i hope you are a multi-genre guy. Also, I would donate to your channel if you also offered transcriptions. I hope you stay with it, and I think you will be the GOAT of this format! You improved this format from my man houseofjaz

    Thanks so much for this, Pierre. Enjoying your tutorials very much. In the verse (block chords) D - Bm6 - Gmaj7 - do you play a D to D7 next? when in the stave above you've shown Bm7 to D7.

    • @pierrejpiscitelli
      @pierrejpiscitelli  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Either would be fine because Bm7 is just D with a B in the root! Bm7 and D share D, F# and A.

      @@pierrejpiscitelli Thanks for the reply, Pierre. Great explanation - I understand now and it's sounding great. It's a real pleasure to watch and learn from your videos. Another two songs I've been trying to learn for ages are Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (Chris Martin/Coldplay), and Don't Go To Strangers (Paul Weller and Amy Winehouse). Just block chords would be fine. I know there's so many versions of these songs but I particularly love these. Cheers! And thanks again!

    Which Rhodes sound are you using for your keyboard? Sounds a little different than the real deal at the beginning. The OG always sounds good!

    • @pierrejpiscitelli
      @pierrejpiscitelli  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's my favorite plugin-- "The Famous E Electric Piano" They sampled the Rhodes Mk I used on all of the great sessions in LA during the 70's. Something special about that particular instrument! I love my Mark I, but I think what you are hearing is lack of a preamp, bass boost all the way up, and just tons of imperfections due to unregulated action, bad tines, bad dampers etc. That's how you can REALLY tell it's a real Rhodes 🤣
