Layla (Piano Ending) More Accurate Version

[MrSoulful69]

KIDS WALK UP 2 THA PINK CADI FROM HELL...

[WTFOVER1901]

I don't care who plays this piano ending of Layla. It is always as gut-wrenching to me as Beethoven's Midnight Sonata. MINOR KEY RULES!

[choobplaya]

it's wrong.. and in the key of C.

[at90percent]

@choobplaya I don't really care. I'll take your comment seriously when you have posted your own version of yourself playing it correctly.

[thebreadmistress]

Beautiful!

Thank you for the perfect piano cover of the song!

[avielknot]

yeah this is pretty much accurate! do you made a sheet for this?

[diamondheera]

F A N T A S T I C ! ! ! Love you bro/sis for uploading one of my all time favourite tunes!!!

[cwsouthard]

Do you think I can get the sheet music for that dong my girl loves that song and I want to be able to play it for her.

[beatlesfan4eva456]

When they found Carbone in the meat truck, he was frozen so stiff, it took them two days to thaw him out for the autopsy.

[DaChicagoBear]

perfect song for that part of goodfellas

[ciaran3707]

Best one i've come across. You should be real proud.

[vellamarshall]

Lovely!!

[Coonhoundy]

Outstanding! I keep waiting for Ray Liotta to start narrating!!!

[at90percent]

I meant to say disrepectful. Oh well another typo.

[at90percent]

@helloimkailyn23 Thank you for your somewhat back-handed compliment. Sorry I had to delete it though because of your disrespect choice of words. Thanks for taking the time to comment though.

[helloimkailyn23]

@at90percent oops, sorry. I was just quoting GoodFellas because of the song. Sorry!

[at90percent]

@helloimkailyn23 Oops, sorry about that then. I know the song mostly from hearing it on the radio. I saw Good Fellas a really long time ago and don't remember any of the movie lines. I figured it might be something like that, I should have asked, but those kind of comments in an intended diss are so common on YouTube.

[helloimkailyn23]

@at90percent It's okay, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend, I really liked your cover, real talent. I play by ear on the piano, wish I could play as well as you.

[cwsouthard]

"I listened to the actual recording before doing this one, so it's more accurate." That is what every other person says when they play a song on the piano!!!

[ultrakool]

best version while lying down on yt

[SeiferKai]

Well played Sir..

"see in the good ol days there were no wiseguys only made men, if you were made then you were somebody" god i love goodfellas

[skeebert]

We were wise-guys.

[teeceew]

Brilliant , a great song/tune made even more fabulous by such a great ending thanks for posting.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

C# is the correct key for this part of the song, but, during mixing the tape speed was increased slightly to result in a final, microtonal pitch of C-C#.

[lovinlife642]

great job!!

[olsaltybastard]

Very well done!! I started playing desk drums (where it would have been in the actual song.) Amazing how far the sound of electric piano's have come.

[rt24681012]

Nicely done with this cover. It is the best one I have heard, the way it sounds exactly like the original. Very nice...

[np7476]

Hey pal, i was wondering if you could post a link or something to the sheet music. I've been looking for this for a very long time and would greatly appreciate if you were to share this.

[at90percent]

@np7476 Sorry, there is no sheet music. I learned to play it by listening to the song.

[AXLROSE4LYF]

@at90percent then whats the sheet in front of u? aw snap

[at90percent]

@AXLROSE4LYF The sheet in front of me, you see on the piano, is a single sheet that I wrote the block chords on so that I could remember where I was in the song. Sorry.

[4spida2fingaz0]

@at90percent beautiful

[670553BC]

you don't happen to have the tabs or sheet music would you? i've been trying to look for them everywhere and i love your version on youtube the best!!!

[MikeMeldan]

100% SPOT ON! The best version I've ever heard! Eric would be proud! MAGNIFICENT! Just like the original it brought tears to my eyes.

[caporalchef4]

Great job!! Salute!!...Now go home and get your fuckin shinebox.

[mcmotts]

Amazing! I'm carried right into th\e movie with your chords! Well done, my friend!



[Sodahpop96]

What is that chord you play at 0:35, you know with the brief pause?

[at90percent]

@Sodahpop96 I don't know the name of the chord. It's a strange one. Bb in the bass then on the right hand it is Ab, C, D.

[dady5000]

This piano coda brings tears to my eyes it's so beautiful...

[Mattamster]

Sounds indeed really accurate! Still not entirely as the song, but pretty good!

[ashleyscarsgard]

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♥ great

[ashleyscarsgard]

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♥

[AdamTomaszewskiPL]

great choice with tone !

nice done, vell played .

[KuyaBillRomjue]

NICE!!!!!

[at90percent]

@EldarWrath. From what I`m told, no. I played it in the key of C, though I may have the piano tuned to C#. It is supposed to be played in C#.

[EldarWrath]

is this in the right key?

[W3R4P3STUFF]

very good this is my favorite piano sequence ever

[greatcomedian18]

great job!

[clevelandtyler2]

sooo close

[brandon2932]

Do you have the sheet music for this? I've looked everywhere for some and can't find any

[trider23]

:35

[trider23]

also....do you know the name of that "one " chord?....a bflat 9th?

[at90percent]

@trider23 Which chord are you talking about? Maybe you can give me the time number from the video.

[at90percent]

@trider23 Seems to be a C augmented 7th. C E F# A#. The D is just a pass over note as part of the melody.

[trider23]

most accurate...just learned this from a tutorial and now I've got some more to work to do from watching you

[at90percent]

@trider23 Thanks! Funny I just learned another song from another YouTube poster myself. Bend & Break by Keane. I've been wanting to learn it for years. After watching this guy play it on his upright I was able to figure it out this weekend.

[NickScala]

Unfortunately the original is closer to the key of C# than C.

[at90percent]

@NickScala

I know, but I don't really care. I could easily play it in C# if I wanted to, but I don't want to do it again.

[at90percent]

@NickScala Btw, the reason I called it "More Accurate" is because it is more accurate than the other version I posted. I never claimed it was accurate to the original. Also as of this writing there is no other version, other than the original that plays the part of the song that I play at 1:40.

[xXShortEmoKidXx]

Nice, man, I wish I knew how to play piano, especially since Layla is my favorite song. I can play drums very well, but that's an instrument that doesn't sound good by itself. Keep on playing, man!

[jwnoland]

Best way to play is to learn the theory.  I took 6 years of lessons (reading sheet music). Quit for a few years when I went to college, then picked it back up by learning theory, and in 2 years of theory I'm far better than 6 years of lessons.

[at90percent]

No, believe it or not I took accordian lessons for a short time. However, that didn't teach me how to play.

It was when I took music theory in high school. That was when I learned how to construct any chord I wanted to. Including how to do major and minor chords, major minor and dominant 7th chords, diminished and augmented chords and most important for doing Layla, suspended 4th chords.

The other thing music theory teaches is what chords are in a certain key.

[dapianoguy07]

excellent did you take piano lessons before?

[5595ernst]

Schön!!!! Zu Hören!!!!

[Bboys1fan]

gesh~

your freakin good!!!!!!!!!!1

howd you learn?

it must have taken yoou 4 hours!lol

[KissyRee]

This is what made me want to learn to play music. Beautifully done, sounds very close to the album version!

[porschie]

dedicated to my neice layla mercedes! havnt seen her since august 2008 cos me and her ma are di**heads! bet ur gorgeous baby girl xxxx

[porschie]

well dun hunny xxxx

[thehi9hness]

this was the best song for the montage in goodfellas

[marck369]

absolutely i love that move and this fits so well

[Umpiresrule]

I could only wish I could play like you do.... it must be nice to make music sound so good. Thanks for making some video's that we can listen to. Take care........

[MilSim411]

hey man u get the instrument and u set ur free time to playing that instrument i can almost garantee u can get good at it like u look at billy joel jimmy hendirx eric clapton all VERY good musicians some say they were born with the talent but i think everyone is born with it u just need to put some hard work into it and it shows i play drums guitar and piano EVERYDAY and i see imrpovement...everyday lol so get the instrument and practice

[jimmy25138]

very nice. Thanks for not playing it sharp mate

[11Fuckmenot]

Ha, I just tried to play this on my own & found this video while searching for a sheet afterwards. Great work :-) I love this intersection from C to am over Abdim instead of E at 1:06 :-)

[lalbruiz]

Damn you piano players who can play melody and bass at the same time, you don´t need us bass players!!! LOL. Seriously, I admire that capacity, I am a bass player and love the rhythm over everything else, but really admire these guys, playing bass/melody at the same time is damn hard.

[at90percent]

Thanks! I love the bass, I wish I had one.

I do a bit of air bass though. : )

[at90percent]

OK

Here's the block chords for those interested.

CM FM Am Dm FM Ddim9 CM repeat

Start with this, I need to work the rest out later.

[at90percent]

Yes, this one is in the key of C not C#.

I suppose if you want to play it in C# you can simply sharp each of the listed chords.

[MikesMusic123]

Totally nice work, the hook chord, yes!

[at90percent]

Nice compliment coming from you.

I checked out your home page.  Nice work.

[ohappyppl]

can you post the actual block chords?

[at90percent]

I'll see if I can do that.

[SteelPulse415]

i would like to see them as well!

[neotamer2]

at90percent you have some really good talent man i wish i could play this

[at90percent]

Thanks, sad truth is, I have no talent

what-so-ever. I just practice a lot.

[WalkenTheWalk]

Hey man this is the way I look at it, sheet or no sheet, you did good man, dont let anyone put you down.

-Walkenthewalk

*subbed and 5/5

[SpLAxDesigns]

Scott storch

[zakwashere]

Nice! NEED SHEETS!

[at90percent]

No sheets. I did it from my head.

[shilfmandont]

i highly don't believe that.

[at90percent]

I'll take that as a compliment then. The sheet you see on the piano in front of me, only has the hand written block chords. I used this to remind me of where I was in the song.

[kyguy2009]

i agree with hack dot not bad but not all that great

[at90percent]

I'll look forward to seeing and hearing your much more amazing version.

[AnotherSchmoe]

Awesome!!

[porkokane]

puts a lump in my thoat...now lets go to the piano and copy it!

[JayFal68]

I love this piece of music. I have it as my ringtone at the moment. It's a beautiful tune and fits the bit of the film it's used in perfectly.

[alimcd2011]

what film?!!! is this in a movie?

[Wang0Phat]

Goodfellas would be my guess

[foggyfrog01]

yeah in goodfellas when its the montage of all the dead people

[lifeatlast26]

that scene is so pimpin. and theyre not just dead people... theyre brutally murdered bodies lol, discovered at first by children

[bigb174]

Best and most accurate demonstration on Youtube. Hands down!

[HackDotRF]

A lot of wrong notes especially the bass notes, still sounds really good though

[ShahidMiller]

Well done! :)

... After this was used in Goodfellas, I can't help but think of that movie ... that or Clapton et all hammering it out live ...

[at90percent]

Thanks.

Though I have seen the movie, a really long time ago at this point. I didn't remember this song being part of it.

My memories of this song are from the radio, when I was a bit younger.

I was never too crazy about the beginning of the song, but this part always caught my attention.

[piano1newbie]

ATTA BOY at90percent !! A nice rendition. I too remember it from when I was a LOT younger - so long ago I bought it on a 8 track cassette so I could play the tune in my car !! One of my goals on the piano is to play this piano coda - so thanks for posting.

[judgesatanhellface66]

Excellent!

[skunky12345]

simply amazing.

my favorite piano piece done so perfectly! :D

[at90percent]

Hey, I appreciate all of the kind words and and the many requests for a tutorial.

I don't think I would be very good at doing a tutorial. It took me probably about 6 hours straight of take after take after take to get this one to be even acceptable.

[dogmom0815]

Nice Job! A slow tutorial would be great!

[detroitigersfan313]

yeah, you play this really good, can you PLEASE do a slow tutorial on this. I'd love to learn this ending. Thank You

~Detroittigersfan313~

[LachlanBasterd]

Perfect

Can you do a slow Tutorial? Please! Lol

Your really good and i want to leanr this song

[scarface21131]

very good

[aikerd]

Great job. I have watched a few more videos and I think you are the closest I have seen to the real song. I've been working on this for the past few days and I almost have it down. I have never been able to read sheet music so I learn by ear and by watching good videos like these. Thanks for the vid it has helped me a lot. Oh and I am liking the keyboard. I have the same one as you.

[at90percent]

I haven't seen anyone else do the part at 1:38 yet.

[at90percent]

I'm impressed that you learned to play it on the harp. I love the harp!

Maybe, if you aren't to shy, you could post it.

I'd be happy to link to it from here as well.

[barbiedee11]

Wow, great job! I have been looking for this sheet music for a long time. I've picked out the first part by ear, and by following your hands I can see I've been right. Now I just have to keep watching you to get the rest! Oh, and I'm playing harp, not piano. Its one of my favorite pieces of music and you do it justice. Thanks!

[TMackovids3]

Sounds like you got is perfectly

[FiliPpOOa]

cool 1!

I've got tha same keyboard as ya ^^

[ninnit5]

I love it! Seems wierd without Ray Liotta speaking over the top of it tho.

[nohodg9]

Of course I like it! It's accurate and you have great touch. As far as I see it, it is as follows: C C/E F C C/E F Bb7 C C/E F Bb7 C C/B Amin Dmin (Bass Hand E F G) G C Abdim/B Amin D/F# G Then it repeats, following the same general pattern. These are the basic chord "outlines", what you really play in the right hand is up to you. P.S. (Note)/(Note) means a chord played with the note after the slash being played in the bass hand. I hope this helps, and thanks again at90!

[nohodg9]

at90, this is a great version. And for TimSad (with your permission, at90) I would be happy to post a few of the chords. I've got 'em all.

[at90percent]

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Yes, by all means please do post the chords.

I would greatly appreciate that.

[HardworkingAmerican]

Man, I've got to hand it you, I am not a musician but I appreciate the amount of time you have spent on learning this piece. I'm sure you spent countless hours listening for every detail and it shows. Awesome job ! I am currently learning how to play the piano (self taught) and I check out YouTube all the time for everyone's post. You really did this song justice and my hats off to you. One song I plan to learn is Green Eyed Lady (long version) by Sugarloaf. Keep up the awesome work bud.

[at90percent]

Thanks, I'm self taught too. I took accordian lessons when I was in 8th grade and learned the basics. The rest I learned from a music theory course I took in 10th grade.

Most importantly from that course I learned the formula that taught me how to construct any chord I could want to play on the piano.

That was the gold.

I hope you can post Green Eyed Lady when you're done. I'd love to hear it.

[ztbsk8er]

This is very good. The best I've seen on this song by a long shot.

[TimSad]

I'm sorry, I meant I interpreted them from watching you play it here.

[TimSad]

I think I interpreted all the chords pretty well for myself but can you list them all sequentially here? I'll put in the melody myself. I'd appreciate it. :)

[at90percent]

I'm not sure that you appreciate how difficult and time consuming it would be for me to do that. I learned the song by ear, so I don't have it documented anywhere.

I may give it a shot, but no guarentees.

[blow336]

amazing man

im learnin the song right now

[andmarkcg]

I swear, if the music didn't have the video with it, I'd think it was a band.

Superb work.

[MASTA007i]

What band has only piano & nothing else?

[GypsyReStudios]

that was the best thing ever please post it of how to play it i dont like comments but that was awsome

[THX138Driver]

Superb work; very nicely done! Thanks for posting!

[guitgeo]

Nicely done! Closest one I've heard yet, in fact I'm going to learn it right from your vid. {^;^}

[at90percent]

Thanks. Just a little tip for you. My left hand for the most part is playing octaves. So even though you can only see half of my hand(bad camera angle) you still know what the other half of my hand is playing.

Hope you can post it when you're done. I'd like to hear how you make out.

[nascarthunder631]

awesome job!

[dagger38]

do you know where I can get the sheet music for this?

[at90percent]

No, I don't have any.

[rolande50]

very very good:) I like Eric Clapton:)and this song:) Thank you!!

[f27271t]

I like it in that key of C too, i lean it in C Sharp because i took it off the record,i think they moved the pitch up a half step, not to sure on that

[GaMeRuInEr]

Wow, it's the exact same pitch as the real song! It's hard to make it sound like original because the record was sped up during mixing, so the pitch was microtonal, between C and C sharp.

[at90percent]

I'm pretty sure I tuned my piano to the record. In fact I think I was listening to the record in the headphones while I was playing it.

I have my piano hooked up in such a way that I can hear both it and the music in my headphones at the same time.

[ricarleite]

You think? :P

[dinooney]

More accurate but not as magical as your original

[at90percent]

Thanks, I would have to agree. The angle of the camera wasn't great and it sounds kind of muffled. I turned the volume on my piano down too much.

[at90percent]

Thank you. I'm glad you like it.

Sadly, I don't have sheet music for it. I had downloaded a Layla MIDI file that I was able to print out in sheet music form in order to get the jist of how to play it. It was quite inaccurate to the real song. In fact the other version of Layla I did was based more directly on the MIDI file.

The rest is mostly by ear.

The sheet of paper in front of me isn't music. I just have cheats that remind me which parts of the song to play in what order.

[f27271t]

I play in C sharp, i took it off the record, but everyone seems to play it on C

[bkmeyer60415]

AWESOME!!!!!!!.....That was great!!!!

Where did you end up finding the music??

I've been looking everywhere but can't seem to find it. I've been to music stores and all over the web but just can't seem to find the sheet with the piano part added on.
