Learn How to Play Pimpf by Depeche Mode - A Piano Tutorial

Here's another tune that will take you way back to your high school days. I don't even remember when or how I figured this song out but I've been playing it the same way for as long as I can remember and I never get tired of just sitting down and busting it out on whatever piano I find. It's not a particularity great Depeche Mode song overall, but it's at least interesting to play on the piano and takes a fair amount to practice to get to where you can play it correctly without messing up at least one note here or there.

I basically show you how to play the left and right hands for this song, but don't really go through the structure of the song just for time's sake. I figured once you know the notes, you can arrange the left and right hand appropriately to play the song all the way through just as it's played. I'm not going to show you all the little nuances either and I'm certainly not going to sing any part of the vocals for this one.

This is my first song tutorial that isn't made up of chords so I realized I don't have a good way to show how to play individual notes without playing the song really slowly. Hopefully just showing the notes is enough and you can figure out the order of the notes just by listening. Let me know if this was an easy/medium/hard tutorial in the comments below and what you would like to see done better.

As always, thanks for tuning in and leave me a like or comment below!
