Piano Man (Billy Joel) - Bass Cover (With Tabs) by Leo Düzey

"Piano Man" from Billy Joel's "Piano Man" album (1973).
Just like with "House of the Rising Sun", I felt like covering a song that I love. I somehow didn't discover this song until somewhere in December last year. But because I found out about this song in December, it will always have this christmas vibe to it for me. So I feel like it's a perfect time to actually release this video. Anyway, most online tabs for this song are shockingly bad. There are some people on Youtube that did some of the variations, but it seems like most people just improvise over it which is fine of course. The original bassist probably did the same as there are no repetitive basslines in it. Anyway, have fun!

Some important information that nobody is going to read.
Tuning : E-A-D-G

This was the song that put me to sleep at night when I was a kid, and now I know how to play it. thank you!

This song and cover is beautiful. I'm a beginner but keep coming back to try to learn this one, it gets progressively harder through the song! It's a lot of fun to try to learn though, thanks for posting this and so many other great covers with tabs!

Stumbled upon this cover of yours after going through a bunch of Opeth and Porcupine Tree ones. A pleasant surprise! A little over a year in learning to play the bass (self taught) and this is such a fun one to learn. Thank You again!

Nice cover, could you do Monarch by Soen? I heard Max's guitar cover of it and the song sounded awesome.

Ever heard Intra Venus by Ne obliviscaris? Would love to see you play it!

Just learned this was played by Wilton Felder. Great job on the song.

Is there anywhere where I could find the exact tab sheet music he read off of?

Your description says info that no one will read.... I read and have a question, what settings did you have your amp at? What's the bass, mid, and treble as well as neck and bridge pick ups? Both my wife and I love this song and I use your covers often, and this is one I wish to replicate as close to sound as possible. Thank you for everything!
