The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles - Piano Cover by Guy Faux
My piano cover of “The Long and Winding Road” by the Beatles uses fairly basic chords throughout the song.
There is an occasional 4-note 7th chord, but most of the song is made up of basic 3-note major and minor chords. These are the easiest chords to learn if you’re just starting to learn how to play the piano.
The first chord progression consists of Cm, Gm, Ab, Eb and then back to an Ab chord.
Of course, if you were just starting out, I wouldn’t throw this many chords at you all at once, and I certainly wouldn’t start you with any chords that contained black keys; which all of these do.
Not that chords with black keys are all that difficult to play. To be honest, most chords are fairly easy to play on the piano — but when it comes to switching from one chord to another; this can be tricky at first.
Like anything else, there’s a correct way to do it, and a wrong way to do it.
In Lesson 11 of One Minute Piano, you will begin to learn the correct way of switching from one chord to another.

It’s a lot easier to learn chords using the white keys first. However, in Lesson 5 of One Minute Piano, you will begin to learn chords with black keys — but I limit it to just one chord at a time, and with only one black key at a time.

And when you get to Lesson 11 where you start playing two different chords — both chords contain only white keys.
If you Subscribe to “One Minute Piano”, you will get a 1 minute piano lesson every day, free of charge.
Many people today don’t have time to attend piano lessons in person — nor do they have the time to practice an hour every day.
The video lessons at One Minute Piano are designed to provide short bursts of instruction that can be learned very quickly.
Even though I will be uploading a new one minute piano lesson every day, you can progress at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Each video lesson will feature On-screen EZ Read Sheet Music with the letter name of each note displayed inside each note head.
This will reduce the time it takes to learn how to read sheet music from the usual 3 to 5 years, to a matter of just a few months.
At the bottom of every video lesson, I will include an interactive piano keyboard displaying blue keys to represent right hand notes and gold keys to represent left hand notes — thereby making it much easier and faster to distinguish right hand notes from left hand notes.
To keep each video lesson as short as possible, commentary will be kept to a minimum, which won’t be a problem since each lesson is designed to be extremely intuitive.
Of course, if you have a question, please post it in the Comments Section. I will respond to all comments within 24 to 48 hours.
