[SMA333M]

You are skipping some notes

[tranhoanghuan]

@SMA333M : surely i did ...

[RTPye117]

I agree with Schirmmacher, it sounds like you're trying to rush through the song.

[tranhoanghuan]

@RTPye117 : actually I was nervous because I know I was being recorded ! :)) but yes , since that old time till now my skill has improved , and I just wanna replace all the old videos but it has got so many views ..... Thanks for comment :D

[schirmmacher]

Sorry, i didn't realized that you can speak German too

the last comment was "hard" German

but i think You're from Vietnam, aren't u?

[tranhoanghuan]

@schirmmacher : yes that's right :) by the way I'm learning German as a hobby ...

[schirmmacher]

Wusste ja gar nicht dass du Deutscher bist

[schirmmacher]

Don't you think that it's a bit to fast?

At the beginning it's really fast, I think in the end you slow down a bit

greetings me

:)

[tranhoanghuan]

@schirmmacher : hey ^^ danke fur dein kompliment ! Yeah I think so too , it sadens me a bit looking at old videos of mine like this .... since I can vote myself for this video a " fail " grade now .... if you know what i mean :) Nice meeting you ! :)

[kozsgrl]

Thanks for watching , Kristine :)

[PhoenixLtu]

Damn this song so hard... U can broke ur fingers when playing this one..

[tranhoanghuan]

well .... the good thing is : I go to the gym as well =)) joking ;) yeah , this song requires some force ! :)) I think I will try to re-do this song once more - along with the real tutorial .... soon :)

Huan

[darthclub]

@tranhoanghuan dude

u did this song really well, who cares about the mistakes, u tried your best, and like i said on Modistone`s video

i cant do this in a million years

[tranhoanghuan]

you will not live that long dude , lol joking :)) Don't be so underestimate yourself , and sorry but I don't like the fact that people just keep telling me something like that .... we need courage ! Keep believe in yourself .

Huan

[darthclub]

@tranhoanghuan i do believe in myself but im to arrigant

and coz im 2 arrigant

i fail

so it makes me give up

[tranhoanghuan]

then try to learn to compromise with life ,and compromise with your own ego :) when something doesn't go as planed , do not let it disturb your overall process , I myself are arrogant too , don't you know ? ModistOne is way arrogant , too ! :)) But the thing is : we do try , and we ACCEPT the failure , and KEEP ON TRYING :)

I am so busy studying , sorry , maybe we'll talk some other time , then :D

Huan

[Ansel989]

@tranhoanghuan i kinda get what he's saying some ppl have talent for different things and love and ect. soOoO i mean he can do it but some ppl its just enuff to respectfully just enjoy it rather than participate lol but gj :D

[tranhoanghuan]

thanks ! :)

[dontdenymycoolness]

Haha it looks hard to play, so your mistakes are like NOTHING to what i would've done, BELIEVE ME :L. anyway, i like ye playing, it pleases me ;D

[tranhoanghuan]

thanks so much for your kind words !!! yeah surely this song is hard , but the melody is awesome :D thanks for complimenting on my playing :)

Huan

[SirRictor]

Not quite perfect, but good. And kudos for giving credit - very classy.

[tranhoanghuan]

thanks !!! ;) yeah , I like the way that everyone contribute to a song like this .

Huan

[y2grady]

Forget the few minor errors, this was still beautiful

This song always gives me goosebumps :] 5/5

[MusicMrLover]

you play it well guy but... I just didn't fell the song, but a little bit more practice and u will get it :D

There are also some mistakes, but this is normal

[tranhoanghuan]

yeah , it was the very first moment I practiced ..... thanks for watching ;)

[CptBatu1]

Beatuful song and ı love civizilation game.

[Oopiego]

Practice more. Get the song up to the same speed, having slowdowns and mistakes is very very bad. Get the piano tuned.

[tranhoanghuan]

I know my friend :) maybe I'll replace this one soon .

[dellekaj]

Nice try...

I just couldn't feel the song in ur play...

maibe u could use your left hand by taking whole scales insted af changed between single tunes.

And maibe u could go a little lower, I think it was a bit too light.

But nice play, I must say.

[blaziken90]

wow!! wey great!!!!!

[TriLimTim]

Pretty song.

Great video. *****

[tranhoanghuan]

thanks :D

[alariccooldude1]

Beautiful, amazing, awe inspiring, I almost cried!!!!! I applaud you, and keep up the good work!

[tranhoanghuan]

Oh thanks ! ;)

[solacarmina]

Hi, I am Choral Conductor of the mayor of my city "waters of Silver here in Brazil. The reason to be talking to you is that I'm rehearsing the song" Baba Yetu "and not have people touch, hear his piano, and I felt very good, but it is fast, my question is, by any chance you could record it again with just beats and other accompaniments, as in the original music that was recorded here on youtube for us? It is very beautiful!

Thank you.

[kpuplover222]

usally changing from major to minor makes a diff, but in this song.....like major is happy sounding and minor is sad ish.....but it worked out good!

once u fix the bugs out of it, it should sound really good!

[tranhoanghuan]

yeah , and furthermore it sounds just like walking out of the blue to greet the happiness ! :)

Have you check out my later videos ? I fix them .

[kpuplover222]

hahah perfect way to explane it! i hate it when composers switch keys every couple messures.....lol then f natural is f sharp

[concertoldham]

good job =]

just work on buffing out those mistakes and fumbles but some of it seemed hard.

[tranhoanghuan]

not some , a lot of them =))

[elrothien70]

GREAT work man, keep on working :)

[tranhoanghuan]

thanks ;)

[Sumeoon]

You rock man ;)

I never do comments because I have to log in for it, but this deserves a thanks ;)

[tranhoanghuan]

thanks !!! :D

[gchokov]

Great! Perfection needs continuous work, but I am sure you can do it! I voted with 5, keep playing piano :)

[tranhoanghuan]

thanks ! ;) I will keep it up .

[tranhoanghuan]

[Dioscuri90]

Thanks for your great video! It really helped me a lot and finally I mastered the song.

So be sure to check out my version, too.

I mixed your version with ModistOne's version and made the sheet music.

Dioscuri

[tranhoanghuan]

[Nyzie411]

Mick, BTW it is AS promised not ASK promised. in your description. just an FYI!

[MobyMB24]

Hey could you tell me the notes from 1:20 to 1:40? that would be awesome!

[tranhoanghuan]

:( I don't have enough time figuring out that part :( , and I think I did it wrong =.= sorry , friend , but I will come back soon with newer version , may include some tutorial also :)

[MobyMB24]

great work =)

[tranhoanghuan]

hehe , thanks ;)

[mrogon]

Thanks for this video.

5 stars for you.

[tranhoanghuan]

thanks for the stars ;)

[Slizgaczek]

0:59 is nice moment :D diffrent in ModistOne, i think better :D

[tranhoanghuan]

yeah , all I did is just listen to his version and then try to play it in wooden piano , oh damn , he transposed it to +2 in his digital piano ! =)) so ofc it's different :-p

[Nyzie411]

Great Piano skill! Try as i might...i'll never be this good!

[tranhoanghuan]

I will try harder next time :) thanks for comment ;)

[Nyzie411]

I will never be as good as you! You're fine! in fact...your Beautiful at the piano.

[tranhoanghuan]

( thumb up ^^ )

[Slizgaczek]

awesome :D ill try learinng on this wrong keys :/

[tranhoanghuan]

Thanks ;) Wrong keys ? :-o ah yes ! But nearly 95% of my chords I did is exactly right on wooden piano , and what I was doing now is to help and answer my piano friends here on youtube on this song ! :)

Huan

[Hugutihuguti]

Thank you for this video; it helped me with the part from approximately 1.10-1.30 (the hard part). I can pretty much master this song now, although there is still that hard part I can't play cleanly.

Still, despite the few mistakes (they are understandable) it was a nice version. Good luck in your future playing, I'm sure I will check your upcoming videos.

Huguti

[tranhoanghuan]

Thanks so much , Huguti ! ;) I will look forward for your Baba Yetu version :D

Huan

[burntvega]

great job i can see the keys better on this vid and in high quality...5 stars

[MobyMB24]

very good man!

[tranhoanghuan]

haha , thanks . True :) it takes guts to just show a video with a lot of mistakes =)) but I still ... can't overcome my camera-nervousness :( that's what gives my videos more mistakes :(

But I think people or even myself can learn from mistakes , if we are too shy to show ourselves , then the world will not change in a better way .:)

Huan

[rocketbrowl]

Hey man, it's really cool you posted this! It doesn't matter you don't know all or make some mistakes. I liked watching it! :)

It takes guts to just show a vid with mistakes, that's what I like about your vids. You just don't care and like to play.

This will probably help me out when I start practising this song again. :)
