This is the perfect lesson for understanding everything behind the musical idea… Thanks a lot…❤

I guess this solo is strongly influenced by Bill Payne (Little Feat), who used to play such stuff all the time.

Fantastic tutorial. Blues theory points are especially appreciated.

Thank you. That’s my piano learn goal no. 1

Definite New Orleans feel here - love it!

Thanks!

Excelente... parabéns pelo trabalho!

Cara...essa é pura apelação...valeu demais!

muitíssimo obrigado por compartilhar...ganhou mais um inscrito!

I don't understand what you're saying at 1:22, you're saying 5th something, please clarify. Thank you.

Can you do a tutorial on Minute By Minute and What a Fool Believes?

Excellent job. It sounds wonderfully/beautifully complicated to the ear, and quite simple for the hands, thank you Christian!!!!

Do you have a synthesia version og this? Or can you make one?

Nice job on the chord voicing on the verse! I’ve been struggling to find it.

wow you show it very clear sir..thank u

Man, this channel is supremely underrated. This was one of my dad's favorite songs. Absolute banger of a video.

Another great song analysis Christian. I love this song by the Doobie Brothers--along with Minute By Minute and What a Fool Believes.

Could you send a PDF of these magical voices? They are amazing

This is awesome! A lesson and an understanding of what's going on. Thank you, Christian!

Great breakdown. Thank you

Thanks for this

Hi this is an awesome tutorial!! But I tried to open the drive and it doesn't open. Help :(

Thank you

Great video!! Peace and love.

'They're tonicising the ... minor chords with secondary dominants' I need to slip this quote into casual conversations a lot more.

love the left hand changes

thant you VERY*100 much!

awesome video! the sheet music is private though 🙁

This is fantastisch

Lesson is perfectly structured and everything is explained with crystal-clear clarity (as usual !). I especially appreciate the way in which the notes are lit up in red in order to highlight them. I haven't seen this very helpful feature on any other KZfaq channel. Cool !

Great video, thanks for the tutorial!

R.I.P Billy

Great tutorial!

It's a great solo. I don't think there's any need to emphasize the theory behind, as it's using the minor pentatonic, extended into blues scale with the flat 5 (or can be seen as a passing note), which is the most common scale used for soloing in rock and pop music. And when it's not exclusively that scale, it is usually mixed with notes from the chords. As for the blues scale from the key (in E here), it would only be an option with a blues chord progression, which is not that common in rock music (more common in a type of rock music that leans towards "country"). What really makes this solo so good is HOW he uses the scale, and how tasteful it is.

Thanks for another very educational video of a genius piano player and a legendary song. I will be re-visiting this video.

Excellent video Billy Preston's Fender Rhodes playing has been such a huge inspiration on my playing and sound and shall always be. Christian you make it so clear. Cheers!

Expert analysis Christian!... Thanks so much. Oscar Peterson rules. I was hoping you were gonna play the piece near the end of video, but great vid anyhow.

Outstanding song analysis Christian. I am a huge Oscar Peterson fan. Your explanations are invaluable. I would subscribe to your channel based on this video along if I hadn't already! Cheers.

Great video... So I was playing it right all these years... lol I will never forget the Christmas my sister got that album under the tree. I played it all the time.

Fantastic. I was always in love with this record. 1 of the best pop songs of the 80s, no question ! What drum sound is used on the record ?

7:30 YES YES YES -- there is a very strong connection between black soul music and white country music - remember that Ray Charles breakthrough album (and most famous) is Ray Charles Plays Country and Western

Love it! :)

Nice video of a brilliant piano part of the genius Mr. Preston.

Amazing analysis

wonderful video

Uhhm isn’t there a B7 in between the F#m and E chords? Also Billy’s simply playing the pentatonic scale as the solo with a couple of passing notes using the blue note.

The guitars and bass are not in tune with the piano. It’s slightly off. 🧐

6:50 But it adds something that the left and right hands are slightly different. It's like the notes are dancing around each other.

0:50 Chord / Scale Improvisation is common in rock guitar solos though.

Man.. you are just incredible 🫡 your IQ must be 140 😅
