How Billy built the verses, (harmonica) hook AND the chorus from the same chord progression – and which tiny variations make it so re-usable.The intro – to the note (let’s get riffin’ and runnin’!) – which is probably one of the best known piano intros of all time.Premium Couturians please tune in this Sunday 15:00 Amsterdam time (missed it? replay available in the Couturians’ Lounge)īut first and foremost, have fun with this weeks video tutorial of “Piano Man”! LESSON | CONTENTS That’s why I decided to devote a dedicated live stream lesson this lesson this Sunday (May 21, 2017) for all Premium Couturians, where we’ll dive even deeper and take an up close and personal look into all kinds of different aspects as to why this tune is just so good (and in C! how convenient for learning 😀 ). This one really is golden – and quite the friend impresser – for just about everything ranging from chord knowledge, voicing, arranging to technical skills and more.
