William Martin Joel, conhecido como Billy Joel (Hicksville, 9 de maio de 1949), é um cantor e pianista norte-americano.
Conhecido como The Piano Man, Billy Joel manteve um grande sucesso por duas décadas, mesmo se recusando a seguir as exigências de sua gravadora, que queria somente material comercial. O primeiro êxito do cantor foi "Captain Jack", que rendeu um contrato longo com a Columbia Records.
Quatro anos de trabalho duro!Neste mês de maio fizemos quatro anos no ar. Continuamos trabalhando na divulgação deste maravilhoso instrumento, obrigado por participar da nossa história!
Big Shot By: Billy Joel There are many chords in this song that are written as a triad over a bass note. Listen to the song and work out the correct syncopation with the bass and triad. If timed correctly, you will find this works very well. The Esus4 which appears commonly throughout should not have a third. But if it did, it should be thought of as an Em rather than EMaj. ==========================================================
