Yamaha CVP-809 Clavinova Tutorial #4: Just The Way You Are

In this series of tutorials, we will be learning songs from Hal Leonard's series of "Best Songs Ever" big note piano books (7th edition), and exploring how the Yamaha CVP-809 Clavinova can make even beginner piano players sound like a whole band. Part piano lesson, part instrument tutorial, we will "learn by doing".

In this episode, we will learn how to play "Just The Way You Are" by Billy Joel. We will explore layering multiple instrument sounds together and using the Registration memory buttons (similar to what organists use) to save layered sound options so that you don't have to tap too many buttons or screen icons during a performance.
