You are the only tutorial I've found that even dips its toes into one of the solos. For that and for your very giving nature (to share your wisdom freely with others online), I'm extremely grateful. Hero!
I like your teaching style. You use sheet music instead of the typical "Guitar Hero" notation. I want to practice this for my dad for Christmas (2023), who was a musician when he young. Until recently when we buried my brother, he never knew my interest in music (we just didn't have any common ground until now). He turns 85 in a few months, and I'm nearly 60 now. Better late than never, right? BTW, I'm practicing on a Yamaha P-45 which I bought earlier this year.
Cool stuff, Tony. I've been working on this for years, great tune. I'd be interested if you ever put something together for the second "jazz" improve section.
Hello! My name is Lucio, I'm from Brazil and I'm very excited and glad to find this video that will help me to play this beautiful song! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Tony! I have just started playing again after 30+ years and have challenged myself to make Linus and Lucy the first song I learn. Your teaching style is perfect for me. Thank you!!!
Tony, thanks for the improv section, Vince's improv besides being above my technical ability (atm) lacks a bassline for solo piano. I'm gonna take a closer look at what you're doing there, hope you don't mind. I've performed L&L a couple of times at Christmas concerts and it's always a crowd pleaser. I would skip the last improv and play the stomp again then make my way to the big finish. Once again Tony, thanks.
there is a longer version; which. I ahve that CBXmas book; and in my. book which is in Fl and Im in Pa; it has the second verse long. the chords are probably similar. I've been looking for that one; can't find it and came across this video. This is a tricky song to get cool enough (for non professional player). anyhow this is helpful because if you tihk about it the way TW does in this video; o. I see; you can make it sound plausible. so thanks again. wish I could find the one with the longer verse too. just to see. what a fun song. I love this; for heroic reasons... because its so cool; as the whole word knows.
Tony, although I've played various musical instruments most of my life, I've recently taken up piano in my retirement (wish I would have done it earlier), so this tutorial was very helpful. I found the "improv" section most helpful. Thanks for doing such a great job!
It's a good tutorial but it's pretty incomplete. When you're teaching the two hand part you forgot to include when the left hand switches and then switches back. You should edit that part in, if possible.
I literally laughed out loud with the Niagara Falls reference! I wonder how many people who’ve seen this video appreciate what that means! Nice job Tony!!!
I really like your explanations here, for example.... when you basically said it's ok to not always include the A-flat in the "riff" section. Great instruction throughout on this video!
Forgive a dumb question. When putting together a piece like this is it better to learn it hands together in pieces or learn left and right hand separate and practice combining?
Hi Tony, As an old man with a couple strokes and bad eye site, could you possibly tell me what notes your hitting on your right hand at 9.21 to 9.28. Thank you
Tony I meant the individual notes on the right hand from 9:21 to 9:27 it looks like F, A flat D flat, back to A flat, D flat, B flat, then D flat etc to 9:27 I'm confused.
@@TonyWinston I can't thank you enough Tony, my brain was malfunctioning, you got me back on track. You are a great pianist & a great teacher, thank you, thank you, thank you
I have several students asking for this this week so I will try to get something up there check back around Tuesday or Wednesday in the description and there may be a link
