[BryonAWitHonors]

[whiteheart747]

You have balls.

[PRINCESAXSAKURA]

[PRINCESAXSAKURA]

[Maestrojosh87]

[tehsupervampy]

@Maestrojosh87 At parts don't you need two people to play the final scene?

[Ladybirdisys]

[showersinger34]

I just finished a production of this show, and from the first set of chords... huge smile across my face. Well done, sir.

[WhimsicalBlade]

Could you please do a turtorial for this song? I am desparate to know how to play it and yours is the best version I've heard so far.

[LetMeIn0805]

Please do a tutorial! I recently got a keyboard as a gift and I desperately want to play the piece!

[TheGabeCapes]

do you do tuorials? if not could you... that would be great you are clearly talented

[NijenK99]

This song is the reason I love Sweeney Todd so much! You did a wonderful job with it!

[aqtimmy89]

I can never get up to tempo. It's very draining on my fingers.

[aqtimmy89]

@aqtimmy89 I meant to say I can never keep the tempo. I tend to mess up a lot... love your videos.

[XxCeMLIAxX]

My absolute favourite song of the musical :D

[catherinelaurie91]

Holy freakin' WOW!

I'm seriously impressed...

[SparkPlugs186]

Where can we learn this. I love it.

[BenjiBarkerIsNomore]

.....i am speechless. haha.

that was beast.

[ColdRiceBall]

You... seriously... rock...

I bow to your epic piano skills! :D

[AB21893]

This was incredible! Did you learn this by ear, or could I find the sheet music for this? Nice work!

[midnightcat3]

TUTORIAL. NOW. XD 

[denbal87]

[10kkalice]

[sondheimisGAWD]

[VampireDog12]

[Maestrojosh87]

@VampireDog12 Even better... I think I can do all three.

[singerdude1234]

[xXJeshikaXchanXx]

Holy...Jeebus...That was bloody fantastic!

[viragogirl]

Thank you so much for posting this from Sweeney Todd! I can't help but sing along.

Sondheim is very difficult to play (and sing) and you did a wonderful job! :D

Keep it up!

[jesterbb]

wow... i am in awe. completely amazed! amazing perfectly wonderful OH MY GOSH!! thanks so much!

[kccook13]

[katiewaffel]

i would love to know how to play this beautiful piece

[3firebolt3]

Awsome!

[OBEYWEEGEE]

I like it better than actual song

[12rawr24]

sweeney todd !!! <33333

[annajohanssons]

Amazing!

[Maestrojosh87]

I already have one... look at my uploads.

[magicmike96]

@Maestrojosh87 by "killed" i did mean that it was good....lol for those who thumbs downed my comment haha

[musicxgreen]

im literally at awe. the entire thing was just...sensational. i cant even really think of a word good enough to describe it. omg. i loved it with every morsel inside of me.

[Emanizer]

AHH the best part is when everyone starts the whole "SWING YOUR RAZOR HIGH, SWEENEY" part or whatever it is the first time. it ROCKSSs

[reidboy2009]

I wanna learn this!! Where did you get your sheetmusic that is now misplaced? ha

[paisly]

umm i just give you props for attempting Sondheim....haha

we did this during the summer and our pianists were having some trouble...sooo go you!!!!

[MrActor123456789]

@paisly I give you props for succeeding hahaha

[Dallimorelover]

Wooow!

Brilliant!!!

Seriously, despite the mistakes you really caught the atmosphere phenomenally well!!!

Fantastic!!!

Loved it!!!

[gogo245]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOO UR CRAZY MAN!!!!!!!!!!! omggg tht was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooo good.... GOOD JOB!

[kidsinsuits]

First off, absolutely amazing job playing. Secondly, and this is a little weird, I loved how low you put the camera. Not only did it sound exciting, it looked it too. :)

[cammie8694]

wow! i'm disappointed that you dont have it written down, you could probably make cash off of that! :D very well done anyway

[MsGombi]

oh my god!! I love it!!!!!

[cammie8694]

where did you get the sheet music for this/what version is it?

[Maestrojosh87]

I don't have the sheet music for it, which explains my "not verbatim" playing of the song, and it is mostly the first ballad from the original Broadway score. The last measures are from the final Ballad, but down a minor second.

[1033andi]

They sell sheet music for plays in all of the big music stores.

[witchstar1987]

wow amazing

[ddup911]

movie sucks, the musical on stage is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than the stupid ass movie.

[PhantomCake]

the movie had a slightly different atmosphere, but it was very well made

[thegaythespian]

agreed

it was more subtle, which film needs to be.

[HimanshuTailor601]

incredible ending!

[destroyer793]

...it's just the accompaniment... =(

I was expecting the vocals too. =(

[Maestrojosh87]

That's YOUR part!

[destroyer793]

I meant like how SweeneyToddFan2 did it... I'm not trying to compare you to him, but I mean, do the vocal notes on the piano as well.

[thegaythespian]

doing it w/ just accompaniment makes it useable to sing along to for performanceish stuff, or to practice for the show.

[ohmagaod]

indeed, it was. and it's really a shame. i would have liked to have seen how burton interpreted that song.

[simplesky0329]

Wow! I feel like I'm looking at the movie again!

[ChadA1993]

This song wasn't in the movie....

[ohmagaod]

the accompaniment for it was used in the opening overture, however. listen to the opening credits again. it also comes up as a theme throughout the film.

[ChadA1993]

Yes, but the full song was stripped from the movie. I also see your other comment directed at me, and I understand what you mean now. Thanks.

[dupbr13]

It was played in the backround of the title and ending credits. But the actual "Ballad Of Sweeney Todd" was not. I was so mad that they did not sing this

[ChadA1993]

I know right! Made meh MAD!

[destroyer793]

Yeah, it really was a shame... but they cut out alot of things, mainly for time, and also so that they wouldn't have to get more good singers, probably. For example "God That's Good" all of the customers are singing. I think that it would be hard to find alot of good singers. But they do have what the customers said... kinda, with the instruments.

[Saymyname280]

I want to learn this soo bad!!!

[cpnj127]

Whoops! I thought you were Sondheim! GREAT PERFORMANCE

[gummyrox73]

is there any way you could post the sheet music? or send it to me? You are AMAZING

[Dalthis555]

My god lol you're amazing. O.o

[Avyiaon]

I love that you keep a steady tempo other people dont so offten :D GREAT JOB

[CoasterChick22]

This is fricken amazing, you are the best. very talented.

[VampyreADarkBeauty]

this is amazing....

Love it, and love sweeney todd so i'm glad you did this =)

I was wondering if you could possibly send me the sheet music if you have or tell me where you got them from, i want it soo much!! lol

Oh and again your really good!! =)

[MrMcMusic01]

I wrote a recital version of this that I play frequently. Audiences love it, even those who aren't familiar with the show. They love the intensity and the great harmonies.

Excellent job!

[ohmagaod]

this is an intense song with a very high degree of difficulty. props to you. this is a tough one to pull off. it sounds great!

[ChadA1993]

I know that this was forever ago, but seriously? This is an extremely easy piece to play, I know that I don't have any videos of myself playing it, but take it from an educated musician on a grade of 1 to 6, which is what all music goes by, this is probably a three. The only thing "tough" about this piece are the dynamic changes to execute to make the piece musical.

[ChadA1993]

No, that comment was not directed at the author of this video. I forgot to congratulate you on a job well done. :-)

[ohmagaod]

i meant tough in my definition of difficulty. i can't play piano for anything so this impresses me beyond reason.

[dupbr13]

ONce again. You rock my musical world! Do you think you could give "Epiphany" or "A little Preist" a shot?

[Spastica1]

<3 i love this

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

YAY! YOUR LIKE MY FAVORITE PERSON. *begins singing* "Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd! He served a dark and vengeful god." xD

[JemimaEponineDaae]

Hey you!!!!! i love youre job is really interesting!!!!!! it`s been really useful for me in mi singing lessons!!i think you should do cole porter´s anything goes!!!! it`s a good one!!!!

byeeee

[Saymyname280]

well done. Did you take lessons??

[eponinesyndrome]

josh you are a genius

-jan

[dv184300]

AWESOME.

[FlyToADream]

You learn by ear, right? but how do you do that? I mean, do you just heard which keys you must play, or do you need to try on your piano?

[BakingAccident]

LOL the ending to this song is the most random ending ever,

ive NEVER been able to get it completely right so i usually just press lots of random notes ;P

[TheWindSighsx]

OOOOOMMMMMMMFFFFFFFFGGGGGGGG!!

the ending = INSANELY AMAZING!!!

[hersheykissesaeg]

could i make a request? I would absolutely LOVE if you performed either Hold Me Tight or It Won't Be Long by the Beatles. Either the original Beatles version OR the Across the Universe version would be fine! My only request is that it be performed in a girl's vocal range because I'd love to use one of these pieces for an audition. Thanks so much! LOVE YOUR WORK!!!

[RonanSh]

would you be kind enough to record this in mp3 for me?

x

[TimKoopman10]

you can do it your own with a simple program. you can rip it of youtube and have only the sound in .mp3

[ValkyrieMoon]

That's possible? Please, tell me how to do that. What program must i use?

[SweeneySchism]

Just when I thought your channel couldn't get better it did xD

Keep up the great work! :)

[RentandWickedRock]

Wow! Cool!

[eveningstar19]
