[kingdoom115]

@razor0cool Well 8 fingers, 2 thumbs xDDD

[Thelaivlove]

._ ." omg..

anyway... I prefer "twinkle twinkle little star".

[alexandredu21627]

what is the name of this software?

[bamsb90]

@alexandredu21627 Synthesia. It is a free program downloadable on both Mac and PC. Just Google it and it should be one of the first results to pop up.

[gyukftuk]

wow.

[Vickaka707]

adrian lee's 2:06 part is beautiful...actually the version as a whole is awesome

[halo3master561]

I'm not Asian I can't do this. Lol jk I got up to 0:15

[halo3master561]

This song is just beautiful.

[TheAgapeLatte]

Can you also do Adrian Lee's version of Speed of Sound. Please, it's one of my favorites!

[CAalphaVanguardJake]

lol I laughed so hard when i saw Lucc7050's comment.. xD

[tropicbird94]

Psh...easy..

[JustOneHellOfaButler]

i love this song

[espiomaxdx]

Can i know which programme you use to convert mp3 to midi?

[ThatGirlKayleigh]

this is my life ambition.

[Jonnathaneng]

Me la boi a aprender

[mileycyrusad901]

this system what is? is it like piano hero or something (lol) or is it a computer dowload

[arcarugatti]

@mileycyrusad901 Sinthesia o someting like that, its a computer programe, and... yes, its like piano hero xD

[SuperSpinarak1357]

Why can't you thumbs up/down comments anymore?!

[TheRodneyanator]

@SuperSpinarak1357  you can??

[rico24forlife]

you should tune your keys. . . lol



[benoydevadatha]

There's a C minor chord in the chorus which you've missed

[machz9]

At 15 seconds in the video how are you suppost to reach that far with ur right hand??

[Beefnoodles4]

Like if you think the songs good and you think the green and red line is having a race :D

[Tashiihatesyou]

I use to rule the world Seas would rise when i gave the word Now in the morining i sleep alone Sweep the streeets i used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemys eyes Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead long live the king The minute i held the key Next the walls were closed on me And i discovered my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

[AVFC0711]

you dont have to play each part, certainly not at the same time anyway

[foreveraroman1]

actually this is not hard at all. i'm completely self-taught and started learning this song when this tutorial didn't even come out, i simply followed the sheet music and learned it without much difficulty :) it just takes passion and lots of practice.

[R3F73CT]

ill stick with drums...

[1AddictedPro]

@R3F73CT uhm bud, if im only 14 in drumbline and Orchestra ,and i am able to play keyboard intruments, then you can too, ands its my first year in band and orchestra -.-

[R3F73CT]

@1AddictedPro wow i bet you feel special...

[1AddictedPro]

@R3F73CT ha, i dont.:D

[SnappleThatBottle]

You have the sheets to download, but do you have the link to download the song onto my hands and brain?

[allyglg]

Very confused :S

[101rocketmail]

The right hand gets me confused, keeping the beat and the melody at the same time...

[horizon1o1]

I'm NOT saying this is easy, but it is really not that hard to use only 2 hands...if you need help look at the original video and take not of his fingering, and how he tips his hand back and forth. If you aren't willing to do that much work to learn a song, then you don't deserve to play this. I guess that's why there are only a few gods out there eh?

[MistarGriff]

@Minipancakez It's a really simple 2 hand job, all you need to do is play 3 notes on each hand (roughly) throughout most of the song

[sarasmilepiano]

Excellent

[strontklont]

what is supposed to be so difficult about this piece ? i dont get the 7 hand comment. if you got normal (adult) sized hands you should have no problem reaching the notes

[startrekwarsmixguy]

@strontklont i think it's the 'easier said than done' mentality, it does indeed lokk very complicated to a beginner, but if you can play well, it's not that difficult.

[strontklont]

@startrekwarsmixguy i can understand it would be difficult. heck i had trouble with easy songs too when i started out. but that still doesnt explain the 7 hands comment. it is made for 2 hands difficult or not

[startrekwarsmixguy]

@strontklont element of sarcasm, plus this song wasn't meant for a piano solo, but it makes a very good one, quite a lot of youtube's synesthesia content can't be played with two hands, or even four for some, but at least we've avoided any chuck norris comments, eh?

[EAGLE2LK]

is this song in Guitar Hero?

[Bryleeo123]

Can you do 50% speed? this is kind of fast.

LIKE SO THE UPLOADER CAN SEE IT :D

[sassviiret]

@Bryleeo123 Download synthesia and import the midi file in the description. You can change the tempo like you want it.

[horizon1o1]

@Bryleeo123 Amazingly enough, you can actually do this yourself. I did it. You can do it. 

1. Hover the video with your mouse.

2. instead of closing that annoying thing that pops out of the top corner, CLICK IT.

3. Download the video onto your computer, then you can do whatever you want to it.

4. profit.

5. repeat.

[SSlayer70]

@Bryleeo123 You can download synthesia for free and download the MIDI and slow it down as slow as you want.

[FinalPhoenix100]

OMG the green and red bar are racing!

[prolooter10]

awwwww 2 fast 4 me!!

[TheNonstopTrigger]

This is what I imagine when i play the piano lol and yeah sounds kinda different when I play the song but whatever I still like it xD

[M9Koala]

Oops didn't notice the details

[M9Koala]

Can u put up the sheet music for this

[12DMC81]

This is the only version on synthesia that sounds good

[AnimeLuver16712]

You don't need more then two hands. You just need: A piano Skill Sheet Music A flying unicorn A wardrobe to Narnia All the characters from High School Musical The Happy Feet penguins And might as well get Adrian while ur at it Pfft that's all.

[Jmanndogg]

I've got the same problem. I am 100% sure I'm hitting the right keys. It just doesn't sound like this

[MrPizzaDelivery9]

I don't know bout you guyz but this sounds a little weird at teh beginning when I play it. Anyone else got the same problem or is it just me? Just saying...

[xXHaRRyBobbxX]

Just Adrian Lee can play this :D

Nobody can repeat his version ;)

[XPAnimeFreak]

haha, nice! :D it's like DDR with your fingers. xD

[dig35wcmaster]

To the people who make comments about the impossible number of hands required to play this song. This is played by Adrian Lee himself and he only uses 2 hands. Myself, I can play this song too, but when i started learning it, i played like 1 or 2 keys at the same time with each hand, so then i started improving, and turning the melody better as i started pressing more keys at the same time. It requires time and patience, don't judge the dificulty of the song at the very 1st time you see it.

[TheFoal395]

This *really* isn't that hard. I learnt the intro in about 10 minutes and I'm not even that good at piano. Blue, left hand. Green, right hand. I doubt most of the people who say it is really hard and they need 8 hands haven't even attempted it.

[Sprocketz128]

This version sound much better. Thank you. :)

[khujandi1]

Damn i have to work on it for 1 year to learn :).Great music !hah 7 hands :)

[redxengineers]

do you take requests?

[OneMinuteVidz]

@redxengineers read the description. it says this was REQUESTED by some guy

[EnseiothCheats]

How the hell can i play both hands its confusing my other hand will go with the same beat T_T

[leatricex]

Half way through ><

[andrea247611]

wat wedsite is this piano thing on

[shuriken198]

i Changed the 2nd chord of the beginning since it didnt sound right being played the same again >_<

[xXHaRRyBobbxX]

Is it possible ? ^^ Adrian Lee is god !!!

[XXxJMJAKTxXX]

@Minipancakez The Green and blue in total are only 10. Because if you look closely in some vids Blue can only Have 5 notes plaing at a time and Green too because you only got 2 hands. So in total that would be 10 notes at a time you can have because 5 green and 5 blue. Does that make it more easier to understand?

[XXxJMJAKTxXX]

I am getting this and a keyboard for my birthday sound good?

[shuriken198]

@XXxJMJAKTxXX Good. :D

[rebeccanutter]

oh golly, i don't know about the right hand part during the verse.

that's like piano genius, no way man. not going to happen on these finger. i need an extra limb.

[ohheydarciemae1121]

Oh god. There's WAY to much going on here to even hear the song!

[leatricex]

so going to learn this song by the end of summer!

[ProfDrHenkBrans]

3 people are angry, because they can't play the song on the piano.

[rainpaw4]

.... im not the type to play anything other than slow songs :'(

usually takes about 2 months to learn a song and perform it but when there's really short notes i just fail and take almost a year....

[c00lcat09]

Huh? Why does my Synthesia sounds more crappier than this one when I play this song? Did you edited with Audacity?

[ThatOnePianoGuy]

thanks again, this was great! it took me long enough, but i have it down perfect now! :D

[zMudkipz]

@ThatOnePianoGuy How did you download it?

[ThatOnePianoGuy]

@zMudkipz i didnt download it, i have my computer right next to my keyboard and i just watched this video and copied the notes

[fafanjojo]

this is like EXTREME piano hero.

[Project2481]

@fafanjojo The guy first called the program "Piano Hero", but the dicks at Acclaim sent a DMCA threat. Still when you search for "piano hero" on Google, you end up on his page.

[fafanjojo]

@Project2481 oh i thought i just made that up LOL i didnt know this REALLY WAS piano hero

[bboyshawnboi]

LOL DUDE! taptap revenge coldplay!

[Titanic821]

i have 10 fingers not 100

[RMTCSBs]

What happened to the sheet music?



[redfowlham]

Amazing!

[MsCookie432]

This is awesome!!!

[rayar007]

hmm, i also have a request.. In the end?, by Linkin Park? always have wanted to learn that. looked up a synthesia tutorial and there's 3 hands needed though, could you work your magic here? :D kay thanks. :)

[rayar007]

oh man, i'm learning this after i finish mozart turkish march. :)

[C815richard]

M83's You Appearing plzzzz and more Coldplay.

[the1stLadyDoctor]

you should do the piano part from Homecoming by Kanye West. That would be so great.

[houjiayi]

Such a great song! I can't play like that...

[blackapril42]

udescribeble how much i love this song and coldplay all together even though i have absolute idea what this song is about :D

[HavocCrusader]

This is better than maringrbacvideo video d(>W<)b

[gybnxi]

[blackapril42]

@gybnxi, omg sooo true :D

[TheRirishi]

@gybnxi U need more thumbs up?

[Minipancakez]

I dont know about you guys but i dont have 7 hands...

I only have 2....

[tilt1981]

@Minipancakez Which part requires seven hands? This is transcribed from Adrian's piano cover which he plays with his two own hands.

[zMudkipz]

@tilt1981 Hey, the download link isn't working :P

[TheRirishi]

@Minipancakez This is very playable with 2 hands too? Let's say blue is left hand and green is right hand, there are no more than 4 notes for 1 hand per time... Just able to play =) (It can be quite hard though...)

[nainPRO]

@Minipancakez Maybe you are so bad and slow to play this ;)

[1234biebermaniac1]

@Minipancakez ikr this person must b loopy or somethin cuz i cant play that!!!!!

[BlakeR207]

@Minipancakez u only need two use ur right hand and left btw the version i can play only needs one hand (left)

[flaringcute]

@Minipancakez as you can see theres only 2 colors. blue left hand green right hand ;~;

[popleadergurl]

@Minipancakez use ur toes :P

[razor0cool]

@Minipancakez but you have 10 fingers :))

[101rocketmail]

@Minipancakez 2 different colors = two hands

[DarkAnimeSkater122]

@Minipancakez i only gots four D:

[eekolover]

@Minipancakez this is an eazy verson havent you realized that the green is the right hand and the blue is the left hand....

[Minipancakez]

Man one of my Fav songs .... You made it even better

Now i want to be able to play this

but i guess i cant maybe in a million years....

[ReinaldoDFernandes]

HEY mate, how the hell do I play the 'I used to rule the world' part?

I mean, it's impossible to play it with a normal 5-fingered hand, bud.

[tilt1981]

@ReinaldoDFernandes If you turn on caption/annotation you will see annotation in the video that the last 3 A flats are notation errors and should not be played. It was also fixed in the sheet music version 1.1. Thanks for reporting though since that is how mistakes are fixed.

[ReinaldoDFernandes]

@tilt1981 Yay, yep, they were turned off and I was so crazy to find a way to play it that I almost broke my keyboard HAHA

Thanks alot.

[mraskthepro]
