Piano Man Tutorial (Billy Joel)
If there is one song that EVERY piano player should know, it’s "Piano Man"! Even if you hate the song, it’s a good idea to know how to play it. If you ever sit down at a piano in front of people, there’s a good chance someone will request "Piano Man". They’ll be happy to sing it, but you’ll have to play.
The story behind the song is very cool. Billy Joel wrote it as a semi-autobiographical story of his time as a piano player in a bar in L. A and it is the song that really put him on the map as an artist.
There aren't too many parts to this song. As you'll see, the verse and chorus follow a very similar chord progression.
The song begins with a bit of a wild and crazy intro riff. For simplicity's sake, I’ve not included this riff for this version of the lesson but you will see it in the downloadable notation in case you want to give it a try yourself. We've also included the notation for the piano solo, but I haven't covered that here. I wanted to keep this lesson relatively simple and achievable!
