    Do you guys ever wonder if Bach or Mozart ever played a really jazzy chord and was just like “nah” because I think about it a lot

    I think they would have to hit a jazzy extended chord sooner or later. Obviously they used seventh chords all the time, at some point they'd wonder what happened if you kept stacking more thirds... 9th 11th 13th...hey what is this!

    I really really wish there was a video of you doing a full-speed run through from a top view. I would love to see exactly what you're doing with the left hand as well as those intermediate chords. You've got that master's touch on this piece.

    thank you so much, i picked this song up by ear a long time ago but youve helped me get it better. however at i dont agree with the change over at 5:50, that sounds jazzy with the added 9 and i dont hear that in the song. how did you get that?

  • @TheNaekid
    @TheNaekid12 жыл бұрын

    @jimbolightningy Sorry about the crappy sheet music. It's meant to be more of a guide than an exact copy of what I played. I use logic to take MIDI and turn it into a score because I dont have a scoring program like sibelius, and it would just take too much time to score up my tutorials anyway. What did you find was missing from the video (that you needed the sheet music for?)

    hey great tutorial...got a question....right after the 4 bar into, before you go into the melody part of it. there's a little transition u play that you dont demonstrate in the tutorial. Im obiously trying to learn the song like you play it, and transition is really nice, but I cant seem to figure it out and it's not in the tutorial..anyway u can put an addendum to your video and put it in.

    Dear Nate Thank you very much for this great video and I do believe I have got it (after much practice). One little thing: at 16 secs into the video after you have played the chorus there are three chords leading into the first verse which you don't mention later. They are great lead-in chords - could you tell me what they are? I was unable to find the link to you version of the sheet music. Thanks! Kingsley

    Sounds amazing man.. Love those turn around chord voicings. Thank you for doing this. The only thing that bugs me is that B7 in the verse. the melody goes.. E nothing from D nothing E leaves C A Nothing. So wouldn't the chords be either a E7/b or Bm7 or even a B7#9? when I sing it with b7 it makes me sing Eb which doesn't sound right to me. any thoughts?
