In today's lesson I'll teach you a guitar arrangement of PIANO MAN, the 1973 classic from Billy Joel. This song uses a singular chord progression for most of the song (intro, verse, chorus) — which I'll walk you through step by step.

I'll also include a handful of practical ways to simplify some of the trickier chords, as translating piano chords to a guitar isn't always straightforward. To the many of you who requested this song in the past few years, I hope you enjoy!
