[van1296essa]

You're sick dude!

[miyax777]

This is an amazing tutorial. I am going to impress so many people. Can I leave a request for Ben Folds Five - "Song for the Dumped" or "Army" or any Ben Folds song for that matter?! All the discouraging comments below come from people TOO SLOW to keep up, PLEASE keep up the awesome work!  I am almost done with your CeeLo Green tutorial! Thanks again!!!

[VANESSAGURLZ]

i hate this soooooooo much ur tutorial is stupid and u dnt even has the notes and all it did was make me frustrated so if your gunna make a fucking tutorial make a good one l.

[HypaChondriacMusic]

@VANESSAGURLZ Or you're too shit to keep up with a really easy to follow tutorial. Yeah, it's probably that.

[Flipie8412]

Amazing skills, great tutorial, I only didn't get the last part. The right hand 9:32

[TheLilDAWNN]

[TacFlipStylez]

did it ever occur to u that the pollution in the air is frying a hole in the O-Zone?

[ffeelingg]

my left hand is too small.. so i decided to play just the lower ones, and it still sounds something (:

[RayyMcFleckmatisch]

54 people are too stupid to play this.

[tammyloveschannel]

wowww you're amazing

[kurty898]

:p make more videos it helps us.

[masterwasabi10]

"This time it's gonna slightly change." LOL what slightly?

[awesomestkidever]

You are excellent at the piano! But I guess sometimes when you tell the notes you do it too fast I can't keep track! But good piano playing :) your awesome :D

[almirasdfghjkl123]

can it be slower and move it a bit closer to the piano? i would really appreciate that. thank you.

[Lanie703]

u make it look sOOO EASY!

[Rik5251]

I'm glad I have monster hands :D

[desfaye34]

my fingers are short and my pinky is curved!

[stamunes]

Can someone send me the link of you playing this music(if you learned from this tutorial)?

[JordanliamMcguire]

I love how you take the time to post your video's on youtube to help others.. You my friend are a God! (:

[wlhol9]

The roll was a bit superfluous.

[Lanie703]

[jaja11277]

youre a pro

[jaja11277]

this is little bit hard dude

[HC4106]

pls do a tutorial of fix a heart by demi lovato !!!

[Liquefaction]

I don't understand why, on the chorus, he didn't play the piano part - he played Alicia Key's voice.... I wanted to know how to play the piano from the chorus, not her voice.

>=[

[IKELAUANZ7]

Heyy one love frm palau! How bout some reggae. By bob marley or ekolu he's hawaiian.

[mcmanus1806]

my keyboard needs 1 extra key to the left :(

[xtrally]

Again by john legend :)

[smokejawns]

my wrist hurts! but im still practicing! great video, thank you!

[BlazyNonVevo]

nice what tempo should i put the song @ 140ish?

[lollylucy124]

is it as hard as it looks????

[AssasinsCreedII]

@lollylucy124 no ^^

[lollylucy124]

@AssasinsCreedII cool :D

[wiktoria98]

I thought that it'll be easy to learn well until 3:32

[Lanie703]

@wiktoria98 yeah then he say " slightly change"

[zaczaczac101]

@wiktoria98

LOLOLOL!!!

[iLIKEediting]

@wiktoria98 this is all actually extremely easy

[wiktoria98]

@iLIKEediting I know though it didn't seem like it at first. I can play this song....

[DubbelDaan]

@wiktoria98 It's not that hard, actually, it's kind of the only tutorial on youtube I like. Because it has a level, all the other songs are just some chords with a way too easy melody played with the right hand. that's shit, but i like this one.

[KyouJin82]

I buy a pass for your site to learn this song, but I can figure out how to put both hands in chorus together...very tough.... u have another a tip to learn it?

[thecruznewschannel]

u messed up it's 2 b's not e's

[Neco181111]

Okay so the fourth time its going to be a little different.... bdgfijiguvabryavgbyraibavb WTH!!! D:

[The10961]

49 people are jaleous and don't know how to put a PIANO ON ....xD

[electricbandgeek]

I forgot he was even a real human being until 5:43, you play so beautifully and perfectly, i wish i could play like that :)

[jcdboyful1]

where are the letters

[lallyX2X]

hey just wondering, what time signature is this in?

[TheUnknown921]

thats a long piano

[niah161]

HAHH it wuld really help if it didnt relly glitch the camera!!!

[kirstenkirstenx]

I don't have a large piano, like you have.:0

[UNfreeLancer65]

Soooo, it means that Alicia Keys have really big hands? My hands are just the appropriate in this song. Hmm.

[vivieentee]

Thanks so much! It's a great tutorial although it would be even better if you played the whole song first, just to let viewers hear what they can expect from your version :)

[theRacer3396]

ok i will never read any comment because every second comment is with justin bieber -.-

[melody45217]

Thanks so much, Now I can play this song!!!! awesome tutorial>

[Tubisurf]

@SNIPEZ2MUCH I don't think it's that big

[SNIPEZ2MUCH]

The dislike bar size is the size of Justin Beibers Penis! xD

[exader96]

@SNIPEZ2MUCH HHAHAHAA

[van1296essa]

[justonetaco]

[electricbandgeek]

I thought it was hard but i could still learn..... then it got to 3:34 O_O

[BIGWILL417]

[NinjaxDSan]

OMG!That's AWESOME!

[Gracey314]

[rk8officiel]

[Voices4rmAnAngel]

I was kidding gosh and you are great it just took me a while to understand what you were saying. IM SORRY

[TripleR789]

"its gonna slightly change its gonna sound like this." gasp* 3:30

[Voices4rmAnAngel]

U r a fukin asdhole u tlk to fasr nd i cant understand ure forigen ass

[countchocula58]

@Voices4rmAnAngel It's your fault he's foreign! Maybe if you could've just tried a little harder at being born in the same country as he was, then he would sound like a native speaker!

[dumaisis]

@Voices4rmAnAngel He sounds american so where the hell are you from?

[CharlotteBerry97]

@Voices4rmAnAngel Fuck off you racist shit. Learn how to fucking spell. Twat.

[TiagonYoutub]

I agree ... Could you do the one with just Alicia Keys ?

P.S.: I love your work. Congratulations !!!

[JoolarBear]

This is a great tutorial, would be AMAZING if you could do one for the Empire state of Mind part 2..? The one with just Alicia Keys..? :)

[Queenmaya99]

My hands are to small :/

[sosbmx]

@Queenmaya99 *too

[UnitedStateOfPop]

@Queenmaya99 I have the same problem ><'

[JroisRuss]

@Queenmaya99 my keyboard is too small D:

[MRBRUCEB0SS]

@Queenmaya99 "Too small hands" for piano don't exist. You should first try to play piano, and after that play this song 'cuz this is pretty advanced.

When you're hands are "ready" to play wide chords you should learn this.

[Meganharris123091]

@Queenmaya99 you just gotta start stretchin your fingers out

[HollyKidda]

@Queenmaya99 I'm a twelve year old girl and I've been playing for almost a year now. When I first started I couldn't reach an octave but I kept trying and now I can almost reach 10 apart (c-e) just stretch your fingers a bit and you'll get there, promise:')xx

[fidanylee]

@Queenmaya99 how old are u??

[timhyou]

@Queenmaya99 nawwww. unlucky ^.^

[kinahv]

AWESOME ! jusht fynd iht hrd 2 catch uhb ! =)

[mrbwdjr01]

[loloke94]

[Noobtuber59]

[keyboardplayinnub]

[sophiawebberxxluv]

[xRoyLVMPDx]
