How to play romantic piano

[FragRaptor]

27:00 I was about to strangle you 27:03 I clapped.

[Manospetrucci]

Guys guys... Listen and practice music of Craig Armstrong... He's one of the leading composer of Romantic melodies... Specially Craig Armstrong Piano Works album is what you need...

[hnsmusic]

I can do that....I think

[audiotrax2000]

Torley, even though your delivery is even more irritating than Barney The Dinosaur, I want to thank you for this amazingly useful lesson. Boy, is this technique going to open up some new doors for me - especially because I plan to transpose these unexpectedly simple fingerings to MIDI guitar!

[ldgardner]

I'm in love. Like omg, BEST TEACHER EVER

[Jameson3632]

What program is being used to visualise the piano playing?

[watchpr]

Ha you make tutorials fun to watch! Thanks man!

[UnitedIGITV]

Torley... I... I think I love you.

[gunzidiot]

Torly so so do a Mos Eisley Cantina Theme tutorial.

[SweezyKiDBeats]

This Is Like 'HOW TO GET HIGH WHILE PLAYING PIANO'

[Gunfreak19]

What is that house song he playes a few cords from, I got it on my head and can't get it out.

[RockbertoRocks]

Please talk less and play more

Thanks!

[dadudenate]

This was very helpful! Thank you! I need to learn more music theory and memorize chords... So that way I can do the difficult Showy stuff. Haha

[ElTalonDude]

Good GOD that was awesome! Why do you not have an improv album? Please do more of this! Like if you agree. :)

[bboyfabolous1994]

I WANT MORE. $:

[bboyfabolous1994]

wishy washy hehehe

[Mickiecp]

Great job man! You're awesome! BUT how can you be SO awesome... and yet play M-Audio... I hope those guys pay you a lot since you actually make their shitty product seem worth something!

[YoungXianTV]

This guy is so high on life LOL ^_^

[theBieberfreak17]

Ur such a lozer lmfaoo . And u talk too much .

[eshyshe]

@theBieberfreak17 You're pathetic. This man is much more intelligent and far more talented than you.

[CheckTheBeatz]

@theBieberfreak17 Your username is perfect for that comment

[joeannachick]

[DaFish456]

[dopepoo]

"Passion helps you learn something faster."

Perfect. Thanks! :)

[divornomagic]

thumbs up if you suck in playing piano :) if you want to learn how to play you need somenthing like this

[MrMeluckycharms]

magically delicious!

[TheANSking]

Very nice lesson

[Montyleeny14]

This is not romantic, because it is not in the style of romantic music. I suggest you study music theory in more depth. Romantic piano music has a lot more chords than just a few.

Have fun with your U.

[MrMachtmahr]

@Montyleeny14 wow, your a cunt

[Montyleeny14]

@MrMachtmahr How so?

[smileman66]

@Montyleeny14 the word "Romantic" has multiple meanings, but you already knew that. And I'm sure this guy knows plenty of music theory.

[smileman66]

@Montyleeny14 The word "Romantic" has multiple definitions, but you probably already knew that.

[Montyleeny14]

@smileman66 The word "Romantic" has one definition in music. That definition is reserved for the period as to which it pertains to, in the 19th century. This isn't Romantic because it does not follow the Romantic music conventions. Romantic music contains more chords and expression with far more virtuoso technicality. This is nothing more but contemporary piano music and it does not serve the interests of Romantic Music.

[dopepoo]

@Montyleeny14 I think he uses the term loosely, and notice he does so without a capital letter.

[bboyfabolous1994]

BTW I'M SO EXCITED! I'LL PRACTICE THE PIANO EVERYDAY AFTER SCHOOL!

THANKS!!!

[bboyfabolous1994]

I LOVE SYLAR!!!

[Carlincar]

[gurr63]

[butanginamo2u]

Hey. you got me fingers itch for the ivory after years of given up hope that I am not good at this. Your friendly voice and jovial ways of teaching others to play music is pouring out from your heart so naturally and sincerely.

Thank you for your generosity to impart your musical knowledge to many out there who cant afford a piano and lesson.

FYI, I learn piano by ear and borrowed piano from my church.

I am very grateful from watching your video, Wish you find time to make more .

bloop

[pronasa]

hi, sorry, are u using the same program? ( akoustik piano ) and what pluging are u using? thanks, sound very good :)

[BIueFlame]

This is the REAL "How to play piano well enough to get laid"

[LanfeustDeGlinin]

@BIueFlame did it work for you? I don't have much time.... LoLz!

[tonnytay60]

hey where you get that program where it shows what you play?

[DrFridgeFondler]

What nationality is he?

[romanticpiano11]

spierdalaj z mojego kanalu analfabeto muzyczny.

[chfootball7]

his piano is backwards!!!!

[GregBakerMusic]

I really do not think that you know what romantic is. But that is a personal opinion, Funny what some peoples perception is, however, I really like some of your other vids.

[TobyEllisSongwriter]

anyone else hear wind scene concert paraphrase in his add lib melodies? :) thanks for the lesson man!

[sensejnaruto]

hahahaha best laugh ever heard :)

[veverel93]

sylar .... hahaha pretty creepy

[xxjoker777xx]

This guy cracks me up, his stuff is amazing haha.

[Cazaq]

Any chance of doing a follow up?

[TheMicroxedy]

THUMBS UP FOR THE "HAHAHAH" GUY :)

[lilmissmusic2012]

Just played an awesome gig on saturday! Thumbs up for using your technique for the first time ;D

[Papawde]

Teach me in sending me some progressions . Tks

[Senj1n]

You are the Bob Ross of Piano

[gzazz]

Ah. Nice video, though I must try to conceal my disappointment upon discovering that you didn't mean big-R "Romantic", a la Chopin, Liszt, Satie, etc. Play piano like Liszt in 27 minutes! That would be spectacular.

[dilithium72]

You are a superb person to listen to and watch. So much enthusiasm... it's contagious! Thank you!

[rzimmer1]

awesome video thanks for sharing.

[yukari031790]

i wish i could play the piano...huhuhu my piano's been broken 3 years ago huhhhhuhuh

[yukari031790]

it's beautiful...is that your own creation?

[lephenixdorient]

:D aha Thank's Torley..

[shineforce]

owwwwwwww watermelon guru is in love 24:57 !!!! hahaha

[ognistik]

thank you so so so much. I wish there was another video following the same topic.

[TheRico1992]

7:00 13:56

[TheRico1992]

sorry it's for me^^ 3:28 15:55 19:49

[TheRico1992]

thanks for this great lesson!

[ThePaintercat]

dooood, I mean doood, srlsy, you are awesome.

[richarddaou]

uhm can i ask you a question ... just when you play the Am chord ... in theory .. can you modulate to Fm ..or you are obliged to change just to (C major . D minor ..Eminor ..Fmajor and G major)?

[BlastnJacob]

You're not Seananners!

[Kevin9631230]

I recently started rolling the c major and f major, and just press white keys and sometimes try and go sharps to be jazzy. I loved the consonant sounds I made and I wanted to expand on it. You solved my crisis of what type of genre I was playing! I'm glad that I learned romantic style piano before I saw this. Its not just the piano tutorial, its your unique approach at teaching. You make everyone regardless if they play piano feel so welcome to learn. Romantic music is definitely your forte.

[sanya1787]

WELCOME TO RADIO PIANO 105.5 hahaaa.... it goes on with the crazy piano-guy..

[lilmissmusic2012]

Has anyone ever told you you are a genius? :D

[angels0816]

Can you make a tutorial on piano on how to make epic and sad music?

[Myzerl1990]

TYVM! <3

[FEELtheNUMB]

Another thing: while playing a major chord drop down softly and crescendo to that key's minor for a great transition or table turner. Great vid, helps a lot; five stars/subscribe!

[moofage]

very easy to watch, helped alot, thanks!!!

[slashy04]

ahhh the sweet tones of modal interchange

[maxmolina128]

i like how this guys has all the energy and it makes the video great, good vibes

[squashduck]

This was awesome. I really appreciate it

[HereIsmarcus]

Great stuff . Thanks. I've been spontaneously doing some of that stuff and you've shown me what I was doing and added some more chords to it to help me elaborate and understand more. You're a good teacher.

[TheMcBillz]

am learning how to play piano from you and i will come and thank you coz soon i will be on Billboard top Artists))

[dancebyfaith4]

best youtube video ever...... i want to buy a grand piano right now and serve some champagne....

[mrjuliard2011]

good job watermelon guru

[pruttprutt98]

oo:02

[H4wkBirdy]

This guy is way too high on life.

[AlisonKristina]

I only wish I could play like this, even the simple notes. Trouble is, it's like rubbing your stomach and tapping your head at the same time, I can't do it. I can't do a simple two note repeat with my left hand whilst playing a melody with my right - both hands always end up in unison . . . . . :(

[angelica6261]

i love watching and listening...wish I COULD LEARN FROM YOU

[bonkexctinct]

I like this quirky pianist

[d0ctafluffy]

I am right handed, however my left hand is more capable of running up and down the pearls. What would be a good technique be to fix a retarded hand?

[ImW4tchingYOU]

@d0ctafluffy Practice

[nickvisstick]

So sucky, i have these amazing melodies in my head, but i can't play them on my keyboard.

[heltaskelta32]

@mattwquirk unless you like OFWGKTA FR-ERL

[videoANDadio]

i recognize myself in 9:35 xD

[jimbo2391]

this lesson was incredible i play different now i use to always play the same thing all the time and it would never sound classical but this video helped it would be nice if you did another video like this

[brachypelmadorian]

you talk too much...

[JVHQ]

I dont get how 76 people dislike this, this guy is a fun guy to listen to , just awesome, he seems to have to alot of pleasure in doing this just for other people.

[FrMajorShepard]

Excellent !

[kakatox]

increíble! (Y) saludos de México

[MrSpid3rFingers]

Thanks a lot I enjoyed the video!

[jamesjosuejara]

please wich vst is that¡

[midniterider100]

You definetely know what the Hell you're doing! Only a fool wouldn't appreciate the hours you have creating such an awesome talent! Keep up the great work! Lee / PS you could do me a favor and contact my piano player Kay_Deitz@yahoo.com! Thanks again! Lee

[colspaimmaca]

[sotopagla]

Thanks! BTW – you can learn to play the piano in half the time with new gadget that reads MIDI files.

Google “Gizmag and PianoMaestro”

[javidee12]

[55555GhostRoyale007]

Man, your freaking awesome :D Many thanks, for a good video.

[MatthewKSCPLILY]

i love your vids! i know how im gonna learn now :)

[Jerredkaufmam]

I started playing piano a year ago and have been practicing what you taught me ever since. Thank you for being such a great teacher!

[pampalladino]

amazing! Your very entertaining and educational..thanks! I am so jealous of your playing. My mother used to be a piano teacher. I used to beg her to teach me. I guess with 5 kids she didn't have the time. Keep it up, I'll be watching!

[pampalladino]

[seife96]

[TheSilence824]

That was very awesome to watch. Thank you.

[TheKarlez]

"If you dont let me know then I dont know.. so thanks for letting me know because then I do know!" LOL thanks Torley, first video I've seen of yours.. its helpful. I have been playing for about 5 years, but I dont have the creativity you do. I am terrible at improv.. I dont know what sounds good together, and I dont know very many chords.. But I'm hoping to work on it! thanks dude =] you're fun

[MatsurixFiji]

Torley is love ... Q.Q

[djcrawleravp]

NICE NICE!!! your explanations are very easy to catch!!, btw, i'm getting the same keystation88 next moth CANT WAIT!!

it is much to ask you for a funky piano performance? :D

Torley you are a genius!

[seife96]

@djcrawleravp lol i am getting the keystation88 today! i am sooo exited!

[lollipopsmissmayou]

[forthesakeofmysite]

[leetfeetman]

your improv at the end... my synthesia was acting up like crazy... i saw so many beautifully painted scenes from your playing good show Torley :) youve inspired to keep trying my hands on the piano :) ahhh that was so beautiful... even if it was an improv it was still very very beautiful to listen to :)

[AbsenceOfColor88]

....or the same sex, wtf? Lmao

[YellowBoy21]

"Just roll it, roll it, roll it." LOL

[joshuas1234]

Hey you should definitely do regular lessons I learned sooooo much from this. Though I have a question. How does one go about learning to separation between both hands like play melodies and arpeggio's with both hands.

[DoshUnScripted]

Looks like it's time for me to buy a keyboard !!!!!!!!

woo hoo

[MrKoto2010]

U R great teacher! I play like u, too. But unfortunately, I can read any note.

[REDFACER1]

Crazy man !!! I like your videos, u r great pianist!!!respest

[DoshUnScripted]

@REDFACER1

RESPECT even !

[geo3155]

Torley... you're da best !!!

[mysticwave]

[marcoscapaz]

Torley talk like i turkey...

[DesolateSoul14]

I had to stop the video and scroll down to comment: 27 MINUTES?!?! How can you talk about piano for half an hour??

[marg32]

great, thanks for the tips.

[jdelgio]

omg your an idiot, you suck at piano, thats why your brilliant example is in a minor(all white keys)....

[asr84]

@jdelgio have you seen all the video? there are plenty of black notes. If you are just gonna say bull shit you should shut up, this video is really good for begginer - intermediate pianists.

[jdelgio]

@asr84 and what the hell are you wearing? lmao what an idiot!

[asr84]

@jdelgio i'm wearing my skin. Sorry if I offended

[MaartenHaase]

@jdelgio <but it sounds cool, btw, are you a professional 'sheet' player? You know there's a difference between telling others story's and telling your own story's.. please think about it, thank you.

[thorhardstyle]

fail

[TheOthli]

lol, thumbs up if you tried 3:13 - 3:17 and failed hard..

[hexponi]

[TheBestMan144000]

[svrfan]

I am a classical pianist, very much stuck to the sheet music but with your inspirational video I will try to explore some improvisation!

[Progeneter]

Very cool and also very kind of you to spend so much time giving us amateurs great tips; I picked up several that will absolutely improve my playing. Thanks so much for the inspiration and generosity. Hey, and you seem so happy...wonderful to see and hear...not many people like you around. Best.

[a9933]

[jordanforyou]

[7SingerGirl7]

Omg...your laugh...

But in all seriousness, you are truly amazing :) I love watching fellow pianists share their knowledge and techniques :) I have been playing for about 10 years and I swear I fall in love with this instrument all over again every time I play it :)
