Thanks for this brilliant three part tutorial Tyler, it is still helping us keys players 10 years on! What a great tune as well

Thank you for your generosity and for taking the time to help others like me....this is SO HELPFUL!

This is one of the best tutorials I've seen and far away the best one of this song! Nicely done Tyler. Thanks for Paying it Forward man!!!!

Without a doubt, the BEST video transcript on the Internet. Bravo!

Thanks Tyler for taking the time to show in great detail this song and all the others you take the time and energy to post. I will add that your versions are to me exactly as the originals are. Great job and please keep posting. I'm am old guy however I love this type of music and try my best to play them with your great direction.Thanks again Nino

Sounds beautiful. Thanks for sharing; my boy has been playing piano for a few years now and I hope he will pick up on one of my favorite tunes.

Thank you. The way you play it sounds more like the record than others I have seen.

Dave Mason tune, and Stevie Winwood developed the original piano line......embellished by joe Cocker's keyboard guy. Thanks again........for the breakdown.

I like your teaching style. Very useful stuff! Thanks!

Just listened to many Live renditions deciding how Im gonna arr. this and Im SEW GLAD to have found your CH !. I knew there'd be tuts out there depicting this riffage but Your teachin style and "musician speak" really hits home with me. Enjoyed your improv riffage as well.Gonna really allow this to come together MUCH quicker. (than Me with Mr "Amazing Slowdower"..(hey , Im a drummer ...ok..?..LOLOL).Thanks for your time!

This is really great! Thank you!

Great tutorial, my friend. Thank you very much. Please keep going.

You are an amazing teacher!

Great lesson. This is the only song that ever made me want to learn piano. This may actually get there

I've been working on playing this song for a month and was stuck on the solo..Great tutorial, 'nails it very close. I really like your pace and teaching style (vid is a bit too dark though). I can't wait to see what else you have posted. Thx so much Tyler!

Sounds great to me 👍

Thanks a lot man. These songs are a lot of fun to play, and this one in particular is not that hard. If your Son ever ends up learning it, maybe he could teach it to you. Never too late to learn. Thanks again

Thanks for the help. Great Job.

Are you talking about this 5:26 the bass line walk up? If not, let me know what part of the video you're referring to, and I'll be happy to help. Thanks for watching.

Great tutorial thanks

Nice. Thanks for the help.

Noticing that the verse riff uses intervals of a sixth, or one whole step up from a perfect fifth. That's an interval I haven't practiced, but seems to be the secret sauce for this sound.

great lesson

love this so cool, and funky,bluesy, it would be nice to see a tutorial on The Letter by Joe Cocker, and Treat(Instrumental) Santana

You seem VERY! excited about this. It's a C9 chord.. you can voice it any way you like. Most people just starting to learn piano need the easy approach.

Great, thanks .

You're INCORRECT! The first chord begins with the thumb on the Bflat and has a G on the top.

Wow, I can never get to a keyboard except at rehearsal, so I have to listen to mp3 and work it all out in my head. This video really gets it across -- you break it down so neatly, and with patience that I don't recall experiencing from a rock/jazz/popular music teacher (a long time since I've had a lesson, but I don't think my memory is that bad yet).

Thanks man. I'm just playing a Casio Privia. Great for the piano sounds but not much else. I'm actually saving for an upgrade myself. Looking at the Nord Electro 3 hp for gigs, but they're so expensive. Also keeping an eye out for a used Roland Rd 300 gx ,or 700 sx. They offer some pretty decent expansion cards to get different sounds.

I would move (invert) the G an octave higher on the right hand and the F too (on the F chord).

How can I obtain the entire partition

I'd be interested in learning your source for the Steve Winwood credit. It is generally acknowledged that Artie Butler was the author of this great riff and I believe it was played by Chris Stainton on the record. Nice tutorial, by the way!

Nice man, I'm happy I could help. Yeah, the vid was a little dark, I lightened it up a bit with video enhancement. Didn't know I could do that. Thanks again

THIS IS GREAT! I'll try to learn this. Could you put the tutorial for "Short people" by Randy Newman and "Big Momma America" by Paul McCartney on, please? ...or maybe are they too much simple and easy? :) thanks for this!!

I love almost everything about this lesson, but it needs the name of the great pianist who composed and played this piece, and was the musical director of the band that became known as Mad Dogs and Englishmen. It was Leon Russell. Joe Cocker was the singer.

It was actually Artie Butler

Got ya. I just listen to it and Its the same notes.. C G C with a little different phrasing. He also plays a little bit of that piano break down at the end of the solo in there too. This is a good starting point. For anyone interested in learning the song note for note, they could than play along with the track and pick out the riffs and rhythms. Good luck, let me know if this helps at all.

This is so great! Thank you. Do you take requests? I am struggling with learning Loving Cup by the Stones, particularly the intro.

Yeah you're right. I use that 60's ep for "I Am The Walrus" dead ringer. I like that one organ #25 its a good distorted prog rock/funk organ ya know. I'd still trade all the other sounds for one good Rhodes though. But I have to say.. in the 6 years that I've owned and gigged with it, I haven't had one problem.. and I give it a beating sometimes.

good teaching! what kind of a piano are you playing? I’m shopping for a stage piano and leaning towards Roland..

5:00

Great vid. I also have the Privia, and I'd add that there are a few other sounds that are ok. The bass and all key instruments (clavichord, marimba, rhodes "60's piano") are pretty good except for the organs (the "70's organ" is based on the Hammond B3 but I think it falls a bit short). Strings, brass, woodwinds, not so much. And yeah, I think a used 700sx would be the way to go for you. For me though, I'm picking up piano again after a decade long break and cheaper is prolly better.

sorry ..should be more specific...does the left hand follow the bass line during the chrous?

How do you mean? The chorus is the same chords with a slightly different comping pattern.

Right from the start your missing an important part of the riff which is not C2 G2 C3 but rather C2 G2 Bb4--->(thats played in the thumb on the right hand)

dude whats the story with the chrous part???

Where are you based? Accepting lessons?

Tyler, I wanted to thank you for this and all your other great videos. I tried writing out as best I could the basic tune: www.bobbydayfakebook.com/music/master%20folder/6Volume%20Six%20-%20Fakebook/JPGs/C2_Feeling%20Alright.jpg and the instrumental part: www.bobbydayfakebook.com/music/master%20folder/6Volume%20Six%20-%20Fakebook/JPGs/C3_Feeling%20Alright%20II.jpg Again Thanks! Bobby Day

.... played by Leon Russell - not Cocker!

MaryNell and cableaddict - not Leon Russell. It was Artie Butler.

Excited? Accuracy doesn't dissolve into excited my friend. I've spoken to Chris Stainton about this years ago and confirmed the position. Many years later I spoke to Leon about it who said the same thing. You can certainly present it however you like, but if you listen to Mad Dogs and Englishmen carefully, you'll hear it.

LoL.. nice! Next time I talk to Joe Cocker I'll ask him if he gives a shit...lol.. just kidding. In all seriousness, it's cool to be analytical about music, and I thank you for taking the time, but your approach was a bit dorky. I'm sorry I don't share the same passion for poking and prodding. Discussing the right chord inversion is a bit like arguing semantics. At what point do we stop examining and just play.

Leon voices it with a g on top.Just sayin. It will sound more like the record.
