How to Play: Billy Joel - New York State of Mind (Intro). ORIGINAL Piano Tutorial by Piano Couture. 

This is outstanding. I practiced to this video an hour a day for 4 days straight and I can now play it with confidence. Thanks a ton!

I’ve been using RU-vid piano tutorials for a while now to learn songs,, and this has by far been the easiest to follow one I’ve ever watched !! thank you

This was a great tutorial! I've always wanted to learn how to play this but the songbooks I've seen never show the intro; it always just starts at the lyrics. Thank you for breaking this down. Now I'll be able to play some jazzy piano AND another song from my favourite musician. Win win.

It’s so satisfying to learn how to play this BUT …. How the hell did Billy came up with this. This to me is one of the most genius pieces of music ever! And who are those Beatles anyway? There, I said it.

Thank you so much for making this! Somehow this is my favourite piece of piano music i ever heard (no clue why.. the harmonies just get to me) and now i can play it thanks to you. Nice tutorial, love how quick you go, though it might be to fast for beginners

This is awesome. Never thought It’d be possible to learn this in 20mins and your tutorial is outstanding since you repeat the details and when going on to next part you are kind enough to remind us where we “Landed” so we know exactly where we are going . Thank you for this priceless video .

Thank you for the introduction to stride piano and for explaining all those chord voicing. Piano Couture is now added to my favourites

What would you charge to finish NY state of mind tutorial?

Superbly easy to follow, great format, perfect

Man, thanks for making this. Its a great tutorial with the chords and theory added in. It really helped me. I've gone through it second by second. Keep it up!

WOW. You did it to death! I only wish RU-vid videos allowed me to loop specific sections so I can learn it bit by bit is small chunks. Then I could put the chunks together and play this fantastic tune. I'm gonna keep working at it. Thanks so much for your method of teaching by SHOWING and explaining. I love it.

Schon wenn man die Accorde als Gitarrist spielt, kann man es fühlen. Billy Joel 😍 We all waited to long!

This song is a holy song , it has Gsus chord , lol

I can feel it. I can hear it. I can sing it. But I Wish I could play it on piano. As a guitar player, sometimes I wish I played the keys. You’re an amazing player and teacher thanks.

You GOTTA make the next part with the verses! Such a good song

That's BRILLIANT!!!, Coen. It will probably take me a year to learn it, but I'll be over the moon when I get it down. Thanks so much for a very well-presented lesson!!

OMG, I can play this (almost ...I haven't quite finished yet). It's a bit above me but I'm getting it. Good video, thank you.

I'm fairly new to the piano. It was the very first thing l tried to play when l got my piano. Left it for a while. Now, l realise the trills are mainly within chords it becomes so much easier to absorb. Just got to get it all down now. Excellent. Thanks.

This is what we need!! How to play it exactly like it is on the record!!

Incredible! i've always wanted to play it and now I can thanks to you

Wow, such crazy chords, made simple by the concise tutorial and breakdown, well done!

what a great tutorial! absolutely top notch! where is Part 2 ?

You are the reason I can now play this song on piano

Amazing! you have no idea how much you've helped me out keep up the good work man!

This tutorial was awesome. It's a little fast paced but I was able to learn from it so thank you!

The pacing of this tutorial is just right.

Watched this video about 2 years ago and followed everything step by step and can now play it flawlessly! Thank you so much for the video!! This song is truly a classic

This is amazing i learned it in half an hour!! i wanted to learm this piece for a very long time thank you!

Took me a whole week but it was all worth it. Thank you!

Easy and lots of details. Thanks for the lesson!

Wow thank you! You are a really good teacher I’m so glad I found this video.

Thank you so much, finally finished learning this and your tutorial was perfect

So glad that I got passed the introduction which was 'shuper annoyung, y'nay?' but the lesson was the best. Thanks.

Great tutorial, got consumed in this tune after watching Mike Pollack play with Billy, Great song, We have the same keyboard RD-800 witch I find fabulous I cranked up the reverb for this tune in the headphones and I swear it's a real Piano.

not for beginners I guess...

Here is one of the great musical arrangements in popular music history, a jazz (and Ray Charles) influenced all time classic by one of the all time greats, Billy Joel (a master on the 88s)... Piano Couture's well diagrammed tutorial is perfectly communicated and MOST of the replies below are "can you do a tutorial on One Direction, Justin Beiber, Grace, Trevor Rabin & Panic at the Disco?"... WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE???!!! Go learn One Direction or Bieber at a preschool or cub scouts jamboree... New York State of Mind is future technology, One Direction is paper cups and string.

wow this dude has the best tutorial ever

Is there another video that picks up where this one left off?

This was so helpful, thank you so much

Thanks for posting this. I can learn it by ear, but it's fun watching someone else do it. I got hooked on this song after listening/watching Rufus Waynewright sing it at Billy Joel's Kennedy honors tribute.

wow! you're a life saver!

excellent tutorial. can you do a tutorial for amazing day by coldplay?

This is fantastic! Although I 'm finding this a lot to remember. I'm about (only) halfway through remembering this after working off and on it for about 8 hours over several days. I do find not starting at the beginning every time seems to help. I'm just curious, how long it's taken others to memorize this and play it fluidly?

Very nice visuals and good explanation. As a beginner I would like to see you go straight through the chords for each section THEN show the embellishments later. It's a little hard to follow with all the bouncing back and forth between chords and right hand licks. I guess for me it's easier to learn a song if I get all the chords down first then add the licks later. Good job though. Thanks so much.

Can you show the Next parta NY State of Mind pls?

Fantastic!🎉❤🎉❤🎉

Thank you so much ! I love this song! You are awesome 😘

Gracias muy buemno.. mrs

Holy shit this is amazing. S/o u for making perfect tutorials for such challenging songs.

Beautiful

More Billy Joel please!!!

Love the way you set this all up! I wish more people would do this (and give you credit for it of course! lol)

Outstanding!

Trevor Rabin's The Launch (mainly known from armageddon soundtrack) would be a thing of beauty!

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!

Excellent tutorial!!!

I'm playing on a Privia PX-350MWE. I'll have to checkout the Roland you're using. It sounds great.

BRILLIANT JOB! :)

Cool,good job,real good teaching,detailed, but not overly slow,maybe a little slow.

I’ve been working on the first 2 phrases for an hour 😂

I love this channel!!!! following all your video's :D maybe 7 years is also a great song to upload :D it's only piano and pretty famous song ;)

I just learned the intro and it's amazing. Is there any way I can access the rest of the song without paying a subscription?

You are terrific!

The hardest part of the song he doesn't go over

Super helpful, thank you for this!! Could you please upload the chord pics again? the link above is modulating.. thanks in advance!

Really brilliant. I could kill to play like that :-)

Great tutorial! Song is pretty hard but managable, thanks for uploading :)

Hi you are one of best piano teachers here in youtube i view so far! Can you please do a tutorial for the Charlie Puth medley played live on Miss Universe 2015? Especially the part in Indonesia-Dominican Republic!! very sweet chord progression there, great for practicing in all keys Thank You

What kind of piano is this please? Sounds great

my new project

Leuk nummer , zou je bij de volgende video het nummer watermensen van de 3JS kunnen doen? Ik vind het nummer van de 3JS heel mooi. En het is een rustig nummer. Verder vind ik de manier waarop je nummers uitlegt heel fijn. 😀

Awesome tutorial but rather incomplete. Can I get or pay for the missing part somewhere? Thanks.

I love your tutorials and if you don't mind if I would like to request a song :) if you can play this real good can you play "if only for one night" by Luther vandross?? Thank you so much for everything

what's that MIDI software you're using, it looks like synthesis, but it looks better...

Bravissimo 👋👋👏👏

Bit confused about one thing but thanks fo rthis. How is a G sus an Fmaj7/G? I thought sus meant either sus2 or sus4

what about the bridge? i need to know it

Can you please do a Tutorial for I Found - Amber Run .. please!!! im begging you man!! 😣😣

Can you please make a video to finish the song

Pleeeeease do a tutorial for Piano Man by Billy Joel

I LOVE YOU !

I'm a beginner, started playing by Grace Kelly by Mika, is this song feasible for my level?

No sheet music transcription?

Haha love the 5:14 part when my C note gets stuck all the time :3

Love this but as soon as you hit the 12:00 mark you totally changed the way of showing it and it became way harder to follow.

Hey guys , I have never played piano in my life .. I want to nail that song .. what can u suggest ( I have 18 years of guitar playing going on )

This is amazing. I bought your content hope you get some money out of it.

I love you channel!! you should do a tutorial for if I could fly by one direction!
