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. Listen, watch and soak up to learn from the best. His “Piano Man” is one of those paramount examples of how he controls the full skill set of Pop-Piano.
Except he set a way better example than is being followed through nowadays 🙂. In a time that’s both super-exciting and utterly rough (more in-depth personal story in the newsletter and to follow soon on this blog), I’ve managed to squeeze out this awesome lesson – which eventually took me over two weeks to create (not because of the difficulty of the tune, but due to said troubles).īilly Joel is one of the grand-fathers, the founders of Pop-Piano as we know it. Billy Joel’s classic “Piano Man” uses hints of Jazz, Blues and Pop-Piano and is an embodiment of Piano Couture’s chordal approach to playing piano. Probably the most iconic piano song of all time.
