Hey guys, how you doing?
This is Jimbo man 11 _
Let me start up a couple piano videos for you guys
I know you guys like you know like to see these videos, and I know there's not too many of
this song in particular
It's called piano man by Billy Joel _ now.
I'm gonna teach you guys how to do the intro to it.
It's a
fun song I'm gonna play through it once and
_ So you guys get the basic idea of it?
_ so
Here's the beginning of piano man.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
That is the first thing I'm gonna teach you guys how to do
It's uh [Dm] mainly you just got to focus on your left hand first
Your first chord is gonna be a D minor 7 so which is D F [F] A C
[Dm] _ _ _ The second chord you're just [F] moving your pointer finger and your thumb
_ To a G sharp and a B
[Ab] So it just stays [Dm] the same _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ You know it's good
Now your right [A] hand
So you go?
[Dm] Sorry, sorry about that
_ [Abm] You start up here with a [Am] flat
_ _ _ _ [Em]
Then you go G
[D] chromatically go down
_ [C] _ _
_ [D] now the way Billy Joel plays it is
When he goes here
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
He usually when he [Ab] starts from this
_ [B] He does it three [C] times.
I prefer two times because it sounds better, but he goes
_ [Cm] _ _
[G] _ _ [Eb] _ So you go B B [B] flat B C?
_ [Ab] and your next _
three notes are G [E] G sharp a
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ G [Em] D D sharp and E to G so [Gb] it should sound like
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ Now the way I like to play the next part you guys all know the piece apart
Where you hear the harmonica come in now if you want to play it on the piano.
[A] It's really not that hard
It's I just start on the G
I'll play it for you guys _
Now I'm gonna play the the bottom notes a little bit easier _
Since you know I have a little bit trouble with it, [C] so I can't go _
[Em] _ _ I'm just gonna do it the way.
I think I want to do it to my version of it.
Hope you guys like it
[C] _ _
[Db] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[B] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ _ Now that's [C] really easy
You're just going downwards on the bass part which God _
[B] _ _ [A] _ So you know just go down until you know you got to shoot back to G [C] and you start over again
_ you know
[B] _ _ [A] _ _ [G] _ _ [F] Ah
[E] _ [D] _ [G] Gee
_ [C] _ _ [B] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[D] _ _ [C] _ _ _ Now it's
Here it just starts on G _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
But not don't use that see gonna _ _ _ _ play one more time
_ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ So now the next [N] part as you know it's the coolest part you all that guy you guys all know it
I'll play it right now.
Hope you guys like that
_ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now actually it's pretty simple you're just playing the bottom notes are _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] So [C] you just you're staying on the C.
You go down by [Am] the a a
[C] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
Here you do when you're on your right hand _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E]
My [C] bad, _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ it's pretty simple.
That's not how you play it, but you know
the way you go up, it's
C e G C
_ mom
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [N] now it's fairly simple when you put it together cuz um
_ _ _ Actually, let me see where to put this
_ I'm trying to figure out where I can put this so you guys can actually see it _
_ [C] You
_ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Always like you know you're always gonna be hitting C's in [N] this because it's everybody thinks it's so hard, but you really it's so simple and
_ I'm just gonna play it through the full through you for once and I
Want you guys to get the basic idea of it.
