thank you soo much for teaching me piano! its helped amazingly with my depression and i just have always loved the beatles. THANK YOU peace love music

Wow, I love this song. Paul was such an absoulute genious on piano. He forever changed the course of music when he embraced it. Some of his greatest work (Let It Be, Hey Jude, You Never Give Me Your Money etc.) were centered around it. He was such an amazing musician. Just brilliant. Thanks for the video on this beautiful song.

"Maybe I'll do Sun King next" *never does Sun King*

This makes me appreciate their song writing ability. These are some complex chord progressions. Thanks for your lessons! Been following you for years

PianoJohn, I agree that this song has some of the best chord progressions the Beatles ever did. I think it's one of the best songs Paul ever wrote and doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

You have done an enormous service to humanity with these. I think it’s almost of no coincidence that their best song happens to be the tutorial you explain in-depth the least! I remember years ago when I could not keep up with any of this video. Part of the magical challenge of it all I guess. Anyways, I’m almost through this and I am so grateful. Thank you! Also, the guitar licks before the “one sweet dream” when played on piano are kind of reminiscent of rhapsody in blue… just another really cool thing about the greatest song of all time I guess. Cheers!

Man, I love your tutorials, they're so easy to understand and sound really good ❤

amazing stuff! I've been playing the piano for years, and I'm also a HUGE Beatles fan, so I feel like I owe you a debt of gratitude. I'm sure you don't get thanked enough, keep up the great work.

wow...I can't wait to try this out. The fact that you know how to play any Beatles song is amazing; I had tears when you started playing sun king, sounds beautiful. Thank you and keep these video on!! :)

the beatles are music genus' ~ how can someone think this sort of stuff up ? just amazing :)

Thanks so much for doing all of these videos - you truly are great, and the demos are very helpful. All the best.

And whenever anyone argues with me about who's better the stones or the beatles I just tell them to listen to Abby Road. The greatest beatles record as it showed how a rock band matured into an unstoppable force ... but we know what happened after that.

I recently saw a special on the Beatles (I believe it was 60 Minutes). In it, Paul McCartney said that none of the Beatles could read or write sheet music. Simply amazing, given the music that they made.

Hi John, I know you can’t access your channel, and there will be no new videos, but I still want to thank you for your amazing tutorials. I am a big Beatles fan, but there aren’t many full tutorials on the internet. Thanks!

you are officially my hero! haha, i've been trying to figure this out by ear for weeks and low and behold HERE IT IS! Thanks so much... especially for the "out of college..." bit.

Mr Pianojohn113, As I watch your tutorials, play from your transcriptions, and enjoy the dialogue you have with fans, I see you write "sorry" or "I should do this" or "I should update that". I assure you that, in the world of piano karma, you could post yourself smashing a Bosendorfer with a sledgehammer and you would still be far ahead. Thanks for all you do.

You had me psyched ther for a minute there. After listening to the Beatles version I kept playing the boogie woogie bridge over and over because of the piano part (sounds like a player piano). Then I saw in your video you were going to demonstrate it on the piano...but you left out the whole right hand part (approximately 1:30) and bummed me out!

This is exactly what I have been looking for. Fantastic. You should make a DVD. I'd certainly buy it.

Incredible. I never thought that Sun King would be even more beatiful in piano. I need to practice a lot more.

Excellent song and video!

I've been playing for 2 months and it took me like an hour to get this song down(: thanks a lot!!! Keep making vids

Very helpful, P-John. I enjoy all of your videos as I learn how to play the piano!

you are great boss..beatles were geniuses..never actually thought those good looking kids were actually playing so much piano with all that great vocals, guitar, base, drums etc etc..

this is awesome, beatle songs are really fun to learn.

I love your tutorials. Thank you

Great playing! Love this song, I'm gonna play this when for my friends =D Thank you for the tutorial amazing job.

Wow... this is great! I had already used KZfaq to learn how to play lady madonna without any previous piano playing, but this is seriously going to help me learn some new songs.

He makes those rhythms look so natural and easy

I love this song and you do a nice job for the most part...

Great! Great! Great! Thank you so much for doing this!

Totally agreed. People don't give nearly as much credit to the beatles. They literally invented the best styles of music, and were somewhat of pioneers in almost every genre. I love the beatles so much lol

First at all, GREAT WORK. As always, your tutorials are (more or less) acurate, and easy to play (even for beginners like me). But I would apreciate in this one, you show the notes, as I'm self learning, and my theory knowledges are minimum, so when yoy say E7, I have to check what the hell notes I have to play! Anyway, thank you for your fantastic tutorials, I'm now with martha my dear, and as I'm quite hardheaded man, I'll get it in the end!!!

you are amazing

GOD!!!! this is perfect!!!!! Thanks so much!!!

Yes, I loved your Martha My Dear tutorial, I got so great at it that I performed it at Beatlefest this year (thanks!), but this was hard to follow, and I was planning on performing this one next year. Please finish the re-do of this one soon! :D

Incredible song, great tutorial, thumbs way up.

Pianojohn113, excellent job, I really like the video and I'm learning 5 songs so far, thanks and great job!

This is gold!!! Thanks

nice one! So helpful, heaps of beatles songs! love it, helps me on guitar alot with noob TAB taught player :)

Wow that sounds like a perfect transcription.

I don't play piano, but I play guitar. You own at this song. Love it

Once again..nice. I like the subtle Steely Dan ref. db

my my my youve got a very good teaching skill, i appreciate it. now all i need is a better computer

Pretty cool mate thanks for the lesson.

omg thank you so much you are the best!!

THanks ALot Bro!!! I Love The Beatles

Really great. Thank you.

awesome you're soo good

As always, you're videos are awesome and your playingis great!! It would be cool to see you do this video again with the 15 minute time limit too!!! 15 Minutes of YouNeverGiveMeYourMoney....with PianoJohn, that would be awesome!! Love from Cali haha

Thanks a lot for your answer! I'll try it this way, but I guess I could use a dedicated tutorial (blink ;-)) Keep up the great work!

Thanks! I always wanted to know how to play this! I play guitar, bass, but want to learn piano badly!

Circle of fourths, like I WILL SURVIVE

John, Thanks for this tutorial. Side two of Abbey Road has become one of my favorites, and this is one of my favorite songs in the Abbey Road "suite." By the way, it's a shame that people use the comments section to curse and talk about things that have absolutely nothing to do with your fine work.

really like adding the 2nd on that C. nice touch.

amazing

@pianojohn113 oh that would be so great.. and maybe that boogie part :P it sounds awesome!!

oh my god you are a genius know play all musics very good

Thanx so much! i need to learn this song for a concert thingo. u roc!

Thanks for your reply. Looks like all the Beatle songs, (Paul's) are tricky. I never thought of him being that accomplished on piano, always bass or guitar. I suppose if you have been playing any instruments for a long time, it's easy for the person. Like a keyboard player who knows no guitar would say it's hard. I'm definitely going to try to master some piano. Thanks again!

808 - Paul was a musical Genius, John has shown far more cases of actual intellect, if you look up the definition of the word really. PianoJohn - I've complemented you enough in the past but I love you man.

Once again..nice. I like the subtle Steely Dan ref. db One other thing...in your opinion...the transition part that George does on guitar...what do you think about that in compositional terms? Me personally, I think its brilliant...maybe a bit dramatic sounding but nice for that era of rock.

Ah PianoJohn113 you always have my back

you are freaking amazing man you figure it out by ear or by the score?

Thanks!

Pleeeeeease do the beginning part more in-depth! You have the best tutorials and I'd love to see this one in greater detail!!! And slightly higher definition vids would be great. I'd donate to the cause :)

boy, is this guy talented.

youre soo cool haha :) thanks for the lesson

Great Great teacher ,sonngs , everything i just like it :D. where do you get the chords ? by ear ? or partitures?

In the "out of collage money spent" part the right hand does stuff other than just the walking baseline, but in the mix it's mostly drowned out by the other instruments. You have to mess with the speed and the equilizer to figure out how to play it

Here are the notes in the intro chords... As best as I could see them. I put a comma between the left and right hand notes. As a layman trying to learn to play, I thought this might be helpful. Am7. A A , G A C E Dm7. D , F A C E G7. G , F G B D C. C , G C F (and then) C G , C E G C Fmaj7. F , E F A C Bm7b5. B , B D F A E7. E E , Ab B D E Ab Am7. A A , G A C E

oh man it is my goal to one day play this

I can't find a sun king tutorial on your channel, are you going to make one? :) thanks for this one!

5 star-im itching to get that down to perfection

Thanks a lot, this tutorial is just great! About the "out of college" part: what's the right hand supposed to do during to boogie-woogie progression? Again, thanks!

I loooooooove your videos so much, but I couldn't get the beginning on this because you were going quite fast. Your "Because" tutorial really helped me though.

You can try with his Carry That Weight video, it has a part very similar to this one and he did it very easy to understand. Try also with other songs and when you come back to this one it will be a lot easy, youll see.

Hey! Please make a tutorial video of Paul's Queenie Eye! Btw I love your videos they're awesome!

Thanks for the tutorial, you're great. Isn't there a treble part to the boogie-woogie section though? Or was that overdubbed?Thanks anyway

John,I'm just wondering have you thought about redoing/editing some of your older tutorial videos(for example adding the chords text)? I know your a very busy person and it would take time.Not saying these video are bad, but you have developed a better teaching method through the process of making more videos it seems. Thanks soo much for everything!! Go Boiler..no ND ;)

Is there a reason your audio is only coming out of the left channel? Helps me hear myself, not sure if that was intentional. Great tutorial :)

@pianojohn113 hey john you know what kind of piano paul played on the boogie woogie part when it changes? that piano sounds awesome

I love your watch! Hahah.

Hi, pianojohn. Your tutorials are my go-to videos for all the Beatles's songs. I haven't seen one video that had any glaring error. I do have one little comment on this one though: on the "see no future, pay no rent" boogie-woogie part, try as I may, I can't hear any Am - Gm7 - C7 succession, there's only Am - C7, or could be Am - Gm/C. Even the bass goes walking from A to C, no G. Could you maybe break that part down so we'll know what the chords are? Other than this, ALL your videos are topnotch and all we need to learn piano!

i'd like to knowm how long have you been playing piano? because you're simply great

@ElMancoDelEspanto Paul WAS the Beatles, the others just got in the way. I wish he'd gone solo post '65.

g'day john, like any other big fan of the beatles,would like to request john lennon songs as watching the wheels,real love and grow old with me. This sounds good on piano. hope you can show us complete with chords like you do on other piano video tutorials.... thanks very much...

Stewart Copeland once referred to Ringo as the Mozart of our generation. So that would make Paul Beethoven, maybe...? Truly the greatest band ever.

Great lesson ! I love this song ! Thank you so much ! You play great ! Would you teach us Penny Lane ?

hey john do you have the right hand part for the boogie woogie? he plays neat right hand stuff during it. and i was wondering if paul is playing that piano part or someone else?

Of course he's still amazing with music, that's obvious. Some of his more recent albums such as Chaos and Creation and Elecctric Arguments have some great piano on them.

good tutorial @pianojohn113 but at about 2:05 you do this great souding rhythm with right hand, could you elaborate on what you did?

Okay, thanks! Would you let me know when you are able to do that?

Wow...me too! you are amazing...you sound exactly like the original! Please don't remove your videos.

Exactly wat he said :) THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!(x3)

I love your teaching! Do you think you could put 'Love' by John Lennon as well?

@aznminr123 did you go to college for piano and like get a degree and shit?because you're honestly really impressive and from what i've heard you saying in your videos your knowledge of musical theory is also pretty good

Could you maybe put an annotation for the out of college part because I don't think that I am playing it right. Thanks!

PianoJohn could you make a video with that boogie thing in it?

theres actually an improv riff played over the boogie woogie walking bass part. on the "outta college money spent". I have the notes to it if you want them. Its very hard to play haha

ok, thanks!
