Gun N Roses Sweet Child O Mine Piano Tutorial.

[TimmyTheDrumBoy]

starts with D ... so ive been told by a techy that worked with them...because its in D major...please correct if im wrong :$

[clammster]

@TimmyTheDrumBoy You would be correct if his guitar was conventionally tuned, but its not, its tuned 1/2 step down.

So 1/2 step down from D is Eb.

[TimmyTheDrumBoy]

@clammster ah right, ok, well thank you...keep up the good work! :)

[JoshRyanTunes]

[llpkninjall]

[llpkninjall]

[clammster]

@wildcelt88 thanks for sharing

[FILIPIN0Z0NE]

this was a great video and you should make like a sequel that has the rest of the song

that would be awesome :3

[wombatwhite1]

just asking but there are two ways of playing it and did you get this from sheet music or do it by ear just wondering witch on is the original ( i can play both :D ) thanks also do you know the other way of playing it a witch do you think is better thanks again :P

[clammster]

@wombatwhite1 there are alot of ways of playing it...

this is note for note when you consider slash tunes down 1/2 step.

[anderzali]

you sound abit like jack black.

[clammster]

@anderzali not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.. 1st time I have heard that though.

[NikkiMorrisX]

@anderzali really really does

[masterpiano1149]

[masterpiano1149]

[nicokpocrack]

horibleeeee

[clammster]

@nicokpocrack how about sharing a video that helps others instead of criticizing me for trying to share something I enjoy.  THX!

[erockdrum676]

tempo much

[masterpiano1149]

Nice.

[littlenativegirl09]

Can you make a tutorial on how to make the rest of the song?

I have this part down,I need the rest,please

[clammster]

@littlenativegirl09 working on the guitar version right now. Maybe when I get done.

[TiahGothGirl96]

the tutorial good i did tht but when u played it urself u went waaaay too fast mate

[clammster]

@TiahGothGirl96 I agree. The point was to just show it for the video. It is much slower in reality. Hope you got what you needed from it.

[TheAwsomeSmallGirl]

Thank You!! I Can Now Play It! :D

[hevymetal591]

NU NOT F# IT'S Gb xD.

[clammster]

@hevymetal591 wait a min, you are right...but I am right too...how can that be. We must be in a black hole.

[pivoteer123]

@clammster is ok your war is better for be now, befor my hande were a bit to small to do it properly + i dont post video's

[lMerkI]

@hevymetal591 same thing..

[amy9391]

Thank You x

[jrichards143791]

Haha wow. You guys are jerks. I thought it was really good. Thank you. This helped me out lots better then any of the other videos.

[TheMadMat1]

If it sounds like sweet child o mine, it cant be wrong, the vid is awesome! U ROCK

[yodamaster444]

thanks' its not right yet but im getting there

[pivoteer123]

y'know you could do it a simpler way

[clammster]

@pivoteer123 please share it with everyone, im not saying im am right or even good...thats not the point...please post a video of your method and share with everyone.

[MrMallyg3]

hey that tutorial was good but u used two hands to do a one handed tune, do it one haded and put octaves c sharp in, d sharp in and f sharp in with your left hand. play the rest of the tune with ur right sounds better=-)

[leoandmyles]

ty vm but 1 question when you said switch to E then to F what do you mean? because its c then to c, is it c then to e? and f to f? If what I said makes sense?

[FlyingGold]

wow you litalery labelled every key..

[clammster]

@FlyingGold yep.  When I was leaning the instructor did it...so I figured if people are trying to learn something easy that people would recognize...that I would try to provide the easiest way possible...its all about encouraging people to continue to progress. This is a very basic version, but it is transcribed correctly, with the right notes...

[SSJOE63]

I did that

[clammster]

Sorry it took so long to get back to you.

Play each sequence through two times.

Then that entire sequence through.

I might be off in the count, so check with the album version.

[liarobe]

he is playing it with 1 hand retard

[clammster]

well, actually when I put the camera down and play it through its played with two hands. The reason to show it this was was to give people an easy way to play it. I learned it with two hand before one. I am by no means a good piano player, but...you have to start somewhere...so this video is designed to show something that everyone can play, and recognize. That hopefully will inspire some to keep going.

[Leon626626]

hey liarobe.. just to let you know, I can play it with one hand. maybe your just short so your hands not big enogh but it doesnt mean you should call people that want to help you, a retard. That's not on dude.

[dakiller234]

uh, no hes not.

[StewieGriffin613]

i have that exact same keyboard. :D

[clammster]

Not a bad keyboard for a cheapo...well not that cheap but its gets the job done. I was impressed with the tones from the small speakers. I usually play it through an amp though.

[blumorpho17]

cant you just post the notes?

[stashios14]

can u plz do the bass part of the intro plz it would really help nice tut by the way

[clammster]

I have not worked out the bass part, I would recommend downloading the guitar tab and then transcribing it to Eb tuning.

[ziherodvrana]

i need bass too

[clammster]

@ziherodvrana me too. im working on it. I just moved...so its low on the list....hopefully I can get a entire version done soon.

[KeyboardDP]

great lesson

[num214life]

WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[clammster]

Feel free to explain since 99% of the tuts on here are not correct note for note, did you take into account E flat tuning...probably not.

Move on.

[FLUFFYGUN123]

Thank You

[ryant331]

can u please reply with the notes please because I'm learning and it help

[Skyklop]

why don t u play it with one hand only?

[clammster]

thats just the way I thought it was easier to learn. I can play it with one hand, but for those beginning its not as easy.

Eventually people should shift for playing it on one hand so they can play other parts.

[enzot1023]

tnx for the vid this is the first music that i've learned

[clammster]

Glad it helped.

[clammster]

Keys are labeled because is helps newbies. Thats all this video is supposed to do. You don't like it, you don't have to watch it.

Your comment is worthless as I am sure you are as well.

[xCarreyCarebear]

this sounds good.

but is this right? other tutorials of this song aren't playing like all flats & sharps.

[clammster]

I am playing it knowing that slash tunes 1/2 step down.

[clammster]

The way I showed it was played out of Eb. The 1st note happens to be c#

[GreenSplodge]

for god sake.. show us how to do it in e flat and f sharp its rly bugging me

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

you can just work it out by playing with the piano a bit, but good tut anyway, even tho i didint watch all of it lol

[HellsHighwayTrooper]

you can just work it out by playing around with the piano a bit.

[Yinnoh]

Thanks for the tutorial !

It helped me alot ! ! :D

Thnx =)

[sydn3yros3]

this is cool i play guitar and piano but is it true u can tune ur guitar with the sound of a piano?

[clammster]

Yes you can. Just use the correct not and adjust the guitar till they harmonize.

You can also tune them to tones on the iphone, palm, or blackberry.

[macktruck39G]

hey you know if you simply "erase" the sharps then you can make it easier on yourself (all white keys) so you could play like c c g f f g f g

[clammster]

c# not c

[billymarshall321]

wow thanx man helped me alot

[returnthisserve7]

no he's right

[num214life]

that is wrong

[clammster]

Please explain.

Alot of people play it on "D." While it sounds ok you have to take into account that Slash plays most songs including this one with Eb tuning. Eb tuning is a 1/2 step down which would make a "D" a "C#."

Please correct me if im wrong.

[clammster]

Watch Sweet Child O' Mine - Scott D. Davis - solo piano.

It is also played on C#

Please explain what you think is wrong.

[ENCORElefty]

hmmm good job on ur cover i play it different tho and i only use 1 black key but they both sound rlly good... check my cover out sometime

[velasquez87]

good job;) i also think that this is the right key to play it;) if you want come and check my cover:)

[SplurgeSkits]

very helpful thanks

[zrocky543z]

Every1 look at mine. I think its better

[clammster]

I dont think you play it in the right key.

Though it doesn't sound bad either. I was told c# was the correct way to play on piano.

[zrocky543z]

they both sound gud tho

[Trevmage]

Ya, I like both ways. First way is my favorite, but this sounds just as great so it's hard to choose.

[serbros]

no. c is ont the right way to play, even though 40% of ppl think it is. the correct way to play is starting from D

[clammster]

Again, "D" 1/2 step down is c sharp. Slash does not use normal tuning for this song. he uses Eb.

[clammster]

no one takes into account tuning.

if slash was tuned coventionally, he would start with "D" but he tunes 1/2 step down. C#

[eplayr]

d is SOOO WRONG.. soo incredibly wrong.. clammster has it right

[clammster]

Thank you.

Its amazing how many people dont understand my logic which is sound. I play this on both guitar and piano.

[Gibsonlespaul8]

Dude, this eplary guy is an idiot, i also play guitar and it's perfect if you were to actually translate the notes to piano which is simple.

[clammster]

Eplary was saying that playing on d is very wrong which I agree with.

[KiwiSkaterNZ]

it shud b d - d not c# - c#

[clammster]

1/2 step down

[clammster]

Purpose is not to be better then anyone, its too share music, to encourage. There is always someone better...to show how good I am (which I am not) will never be the point to any of my videos.

[Lillaskinkan]

Haha! you helped me alot man xD thanks :D

[katekmoore]

@clammster i like your point. i have played piano for 15 years, and it was still helpful for someone who is more advanced. thanks for your perspective, and thanks too for sharing this!
