How To Play 'Gymnopédie No.1' - Erik Satie (Part 2)

In this piano tutorial I show you how to play the second part of Gymnopédies No.1 by Erik Satie. You can find my other tutorials by searching the name of the song you want to play + "Joe Raciti" or "jraciti1".

Otherwise, leave a comment in the comment section or thumbs up an existing comment to let me know what songs you would like me to teach you. I can't promise that I'll be able to get to them but I will at least consider your recommendations.

Joe,
I love your videos! I'm 11 years old and I've been practising this piece loads. I'm so happy you do videos! They are easy to follow and explained well. I have recommended you!
Thanks,
Amber

Well, 2 down, 2 to go. This is amazing. You're a good teacher man.

I love your videos so much! I learned about 15 songs last summer because of your videos. I have a few request too, could you possibly make a video on "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit, "Till The Love Runs Out" by One Republic, "Not Over You" by Gavin DeGraw, or "Don't" by Ed Sheeran. I know that that's a lot but I would really appreciate any of those. (Especially "Rather Be") Thanks!

Why would you keep your thumb on the e?
Makes playing the left hand pointlessly harder since you're using the sustain pedal anyway and in part 1 when the same occurred with the f sharp, you didn't hold it.
