I have a google homepage and on my homepage there's google videos and I noticed it was a how to play "blackbird" on piano. So I clicked it cause I thought it would be fun to learn and on the page there were other videos you could watch and learn to play a certian song and I saw A Thouand Miles. here you go...

He's not playing what Vanessa plays because what she plays is too boring for solo piano. He's not singing along, so he needs to jazz it up a tad.

I don't really like the way he plays this song. I'm embarrassed to even watch it. He didn't play it in its original key. I had to stop watching b/c it was torture to my ears how they were playing and how that guy was explaining it. I learned most of the song by ear, too. I play it a little different from VC chord-wise, but I don't take away from the riffs or rhythm. When I get to, 'If I could fall...', instead of using the ususal Gb/E chord that VC does, I start out on the B chord, but play the same riffs, just different chords. But it sounds just as good. I wish I could show you guys. The ironic thing is that B is a more difficult chord to play in b/c it has 5 sharps/7 flats, but ATM is easier to play in this key. But White Houses is easier to play in C Major, though [I play both versions].

V's version is much easier than what you saw on this video.

Yeah, it's fluffy, but it sounds like how it would be played at these "parties" he was talking about at the beginning.

Why does anyone care whether or not he plays this in the same key that Vanessa does?

Wait a minute.  I thought she did play it in C (as well as B), though I don't remember which is on the record and which is live.

I've heard some people say she often plays it in C live.
