[Owener94]

Why can't I view this video on my iPhone?? ARGH!

[pianodrew]

@Owener94: You should be able to; I can view it on my iPhone. Have another go and let me know :)

[ironhide1213]

thanks man your the best in my friends list

[turkassain99]

thank you big help thanks

[Icycrizle]

I love your voice *-*

[MrFkin123]

@pianodrew...Ok..Well Im not a piano player or anythin..i just go to youtube and look for a tutorial for songs..I already got Canon down..but Id really want to play River Flows in You. Im just wanderin if u can tell me if this is a really hard piece to play or is it easy?. >.<

[pianodrew]

@MrFkin123: Hi there.

Thanks :). If you can play Canon, I'd probably suggest trying something out that's kinda in the middle of the 2 for difficulty first. River Flows is a Grade 4 song - quite doable, but may take a little longer than expected to perfect. By all means give it a go - just take things one step at a time :)

[Pudding262]

I like it, when boys play piano. :-)

[soldierfrontnoob]

why disable ratings i like how u put lots of effort in to this really helpful, least i could do is give u a thumbs up

[PARAekbolMORE]

thank you so much for this video!±D

[LushhGirliess]

Thank you very much for your help. Me and my friend had fun learning it and you were the best we watched:)

[jakeaboo40]

I think its perfect man idc if its not exact but i believe it is so props to you! (:

[awuestniqn]

@trintitywise it is D A E, NO DER U IDIOT

[kathleenxdancex123]

I love you!!!!!!

[pianodrew]

@pokekillz805: Actually, you're both completely wrong - it's D, A, E. Good job you're watching a tutorial, even if you "appear" to already know how to play the song; you both obviously need someone to tell you how to play it correctly. ;)

[pianodrew]

@trintitywise: No, anyone will tell you it's D, A, E...duh! :L

[anavelazkez]

@pianodrew sorry dear but its D A D .. i have the sheet music to this . is D A D but thanks for posting this anyways

[pianodrew]

@anavelazkez: When I was learning this piece I purchased the official Yiruma notes from a music store, and it's D A E. Listen to the original of Yiruma playing it and you can tell it's an E note being played. Your version is not wrong; my version is not wrong. They are simply different versions lost in interpretation.

[Lilforever27]

@pianodrew its true it is D A D

[pianodrew]

@Lilforever27: If it was D, A, D, I would've shown people how to play it like that :P. Please read every comment I've posted in regard to people's debate about it - but it is definitely D, A, E.

[taytaylovescookies]

Thanks a lot! This really helped me.

[pumbaloutje]

at 7:45 I meant. You get this if you read the mail I send before this one

[pumbaloutje]

You are helped me so much with this. Sorry for my bad Englisch(I'm dutch haha). But I still don't get the part on 7:00 with playing it on an other way together, Can somebody help me with that? If you can explain it, can you write me a mail ? Thanks a lot

[MusicMichaela]

[AJA219]

[DrBlades93]

[pianodrew]

@DrBlades93: Yamaha DGX-620. 

[lovemymakeup100]

[pianodrew]

@lovemymakeup100: Yes. Yamaha DGX-620.

[FREEHUGSFORCHARITY]

[gilbertnoe1]

Hi there, thanks for your tutorial. I'm learning a lot. Can you teach also The artic light by Marika Takeuchi.

thanks

[Calvin8076]

Im just trying to teach you the best i can, if i just hear that, liar

[Calvin8076]

all youtube tutorials on yiruma are fakes, people just wanna show sum skills

[Calvin8076]

After this you play it right but so fast that anyone can see it

[Calvin8076]

7:55-8:01 Whats this? U made a mistake? I guess u wanted it thia way, but its wrong

[pianodrew]

@Calvin8076: It's not wrong - that's the way the song is played. Having read all of your comments: I may be playing it fast but remember that this if FREE! Also, I had no other choice but to play it that quick 'cause of the YouTube time limit that was prevailing at the time. And as for you other 2 comments: I really don't understand your terrible English. :P

[cindyZV1972]

@pianodrew You play awesome...These people that pick they are just F in jealous... I think your GREAT... Thank you for your help.

[Calvin8076]

YOu play different than u explain, if i do it how u told there are sum notes left

[oiioiio1]

[Amazingfox321]

[slayindemdragons]

I love you for this/ no homo, thank you so much

[Rolosmakemegohyper]

Seriously you and your tutorials are amazing. You taught me Rihanna- Unfaithful, and I now I'm learning River Flows in You. Thank you <3

[stepabledible]

@pianodrew Thank you for taking the time and effort putting this video together! It has been the easiest river flows in you tutorial to follow on youtube for me.

[IcyyHair]

I have a piano but I don't have the talent to play it. I want to learn this song and trying to. However, when I play it the tune is different?

[TheMeko009]

you are a great!! :D

Thanks for teaching it to me!! :)

But I'm still a little bit confused on the last part i been replaying it and replaying it but i cant get it right !! :( Do you have like a video that I can us for that part!!

[McFreeze13]

man, this is a great tutorial..you also know how to put people in their place lol

[sudroy]

Some people can be such insolent cads! I'd like to see them teach this melody.

It takes a lot of patience to teach and you've done a great job!

I'm really grateful to you for this tutorial :D You've explained it really well!

Cheers mate!

[TheDerDumme]

i am sry , but when i see your hands i think you are gay >.<

anyway ty for the tutorial

[pianodrew]

@TheDerDumme: Don't worry about it, mate. Stereotypes who judgmentally look at the world through perverse eyes are usually the ones who are trying to cover up their own sexuality; too scared of what others may think so they have to push it onto someone else.

[TheDerDumme]

@pianodrew do you want to say that I'm gay?

if yes you are wrong.

[TheDerDumme]

@pianodrew you're a bit skinny, so it seems to me that your hands look like gay

[TheDerDumme]

@pianodrew anyway sry that i said it , that u answer so it meens that u aren't . ;D

[DRS0LID]

@pianodrew those are some piano hands :)

[Dajavuumclin]

@TheDerDumme piano hands

[MBrotherZ]

thumbs up if u don't play piano, but you really want to learn this song !

[lordskinka]

Awesome! My sister tried to teach me but i didn't understand.Then i search and this vid come up. Awesome! Love it!

[ACarolinaGodinho]

because I love music more than you!

IP thank you!

[29ammu]

This is great :) Don't worry about haters!!!

[SuperAwsome1224]

This is one of the best tutorials of this song on youtube, Great job man, bravo...

[ACarolinaGodinho]

-.- stupid people

[pianodrew]

@ACarolinaGodinho: When you're the only one in a crowd who has that opinion, then the problem is not with everyone else - but with yourself. Very touchy.

[ACarolinaGodinho]

thanks, GOD! you're the best! I love you.

[ACarolinaGodinho]

this is not the original song! you play a D when you should play A's and E's.

I'm sorry, but i've got the original sheet music, and i played it, and i know that is not correct.

:S

[pianodrew]

@ACarolinaGodinho: Correction: you have a "different version" on sheet. You could walk into a music shop, look at 10 different versions of this song, and they'll all be different - but that won't make them "wrong". If you are a true musician you have to acknowledge that you can play a song many different ways, and none of them will be wrong or right - just different. If it was completely wrong, I could understand your complaint - but I feel it pedantic to highlight such a subtlety.

[29ammu]

@ACarolinaGodinho

Lol, if you have the sheet music and you played it, why are you watching a tutorial on youtube?

[DaylightXAngel]

i learnt a different opening than this but did you do this by ear? it sounds a liiiittle different in 2 notes but they fit perfectly and dont even make a change i learn by ear to, but mainly i look at the greats on youtube like you haha keep on playing :) x

[LinaSalvatore]

Uh so amazing- I loveee u !

youre a great teacher and Piano-player ;D.

♥

[AnimeMusic1999]

Thank You ssoooo much!!!! Your awesomme!!!!!

[IHateThisCube101]

Your voice sounds like my piano teacher

[knex81]

this Song inspired me to play and practice with the piano again :3'

altho i can't read notes XD

[kanoshy1]

Very VERY nice.

[faddyhahaha101]

wow! you're really a great teacher! thank you very much for your effort in doing this tutorial!!

[aerokiddo]

Hey can you please tell us the notes at the end of part 1. I can't work out which key to press in what order and it's stopping me from starting part 2 :(

[aerokiddo]

@aerokiddo Can someone please tell me if they know it?

[520julio]

i like how you teach. and i also like how the uploader comments are all stupid.



[VinniManga]

FOR the last bit why didnt you tell you the notes instead of making us having to look slowly to understand it, surely you could of told us like this note on this hand then this note on this hand. i mean may be just me being retarded or its just you being lazy

[pianodrew]

@VinniManga: If I had of told you the notes, the video would've been too long to put on YouTube. When I uploaded this, YouTube only allowed video's of up to 10 minutes. I'm not lazy. If I was I would not be giving you 7 parts for the complete River Flows tutorial all for free. Please remember that this is a free service - not one that you're having to spend money on.

[mkshooter2000]

@pianodrew I completely agree! I could not be MORE appreciative. THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting this tutorial on here. It has helped me so much and I am very excited to be learning how to play this song. Makes my heart happy! Thanks again :-)

[faddyhahaha101]

@pianodrew i think it's really better that way you playing it slowly over over again than just saying the notes so we can familiarize ourselves with the sound of the piece and why would u tell the notes in the first place we can see what note you're pressing haha i think you're really a great teacher and you're also a very good pianist i'm just a begginer but i hope i can be as good as you :) thank you for your effort in this tutorial :)

[ChessiJackson]

@pianodrew everyone should be happy for you to work hard on making tut. thanks a lot for this, good luck



[alexmabazza]

Dude you have like long fingers! :)) Thank you very much by the way! Great teacher :)

[OCDHeifer]

[SoyySauceeBoii]

On 9:39 for the right hand, isn't it supposed to be E, not D?

[yvettje7]

Thank you so much.

[SHINeeLove4Everr]

best. tutorial. ever! ! !

^.^

THANK YOU! ! !

[493323260]

I suggest you to rec the sound and the video separately ， after that quit the sound of the video and then put the sound , in this way you can avoid keyboard noises ,

i say this because at the begging the noises ruin the song, the noise of tutorial part is dosent matter

[pianodrew]

@493323260: I record video's of myself playing song's through an Audio-Interface; however it's virtually impossible to record a tutorial in that way. I could send the sound of the Piano through the interface - but I would still need a Microphone to record my voice, which would pick up the sound of the keys. In recent tutorials, I record separate part's for one video so I can do a tutorial in one take, which makes super-imposing the sound next to impossible.

[Wamboro123]

Thankyou for the lessons ! Can you also give me the pianosheet please?

[YoshiMieMe]

Doesn't sound anything like that when i play it :(

[DymphyTimms]
