Typical Bond-style Orchestration and a Pop-Piano-at-its-finest part, supporting yet another killer vocal-performance from our good friend Sam Smith. Sam oh Sam. You're blowing up man. An f'in BOND theme-song? Wow. But let's be honest: 100% deserved. What a singer. For a Bond theme-song, I think this one's actually a pretty cool tune too, right? Gotta love those Bond vibes. The ...

Do not confuse Adele with Lionel. I know. They’re probably literal opposites, but still. It’s a bold move from this British diva choosing a song title that is already… -looking for superlative… found none- quite famous. So they might indeed be opposites as to what meets the eye, however now they also have two major things ... Read more

Obviously I felt the need to put in some extra effort here, since this mega-hit -originally written on a piano by a professional Pop-Pianist (Charlie Puth)- features such an impressive set of Pop-Piano skills and techniques that watching this lesson alone could give you a ...

What a beast of a piano sound. Quite the cool voicing techniques in this one as well, smoothing that sweet set of chords out over this killer piano-riff intro.  I figured it was time to record and post some Rihanna again! The tutorial for this song of hers is suitable for you intermediate players that ... Read more
