Clannad AfterStory Opening Piano Tutorial by Spiritsoul

[SwatKatFan888]

thumbs up if you sang or hummed along

[danceviliay1]

Hmm, I'm a panel student (level 10+) piano and I can do this in 1 hour XD

Oh yea, a tip for those trying this song...when the chorus sets in make sure to use voicing for the melody (I hope you know what I mean tho...) XD

[krirt13]

has anyone noticed that this sounds nothing like the theme song at all?

[thijsiejjjj17]

@krirt13 i can hear the theme in it. so i don't know what you're talking about

[thecrazyzenzy]

Best theme song EVER.

Especially the part from 0:00 to 1:31. <3

[KPpivot]

Don't u need two pianos to play this song in real life?

[iheartquest18]

what program is this? i often see this kind when i find piano versions of songs

[xAiiRPLANES]

@iheartquest18 It's called Synthesia.

[CutiePieLoL5]

@Bridagierz I would actually probably need three arms. I've probably been playing for about two years, but I can't do this. I need three arms because I have small hands. Maybe others do, too. I'm not sure about seven... You could cover about every octave! (Everything but the three notes at the start of the piano.)

[zhangsterali]

@CutiePieLoL5 of course you can't play it when you only learned for 2 years of piano you need to at least learn 4-5 years of piano to play that =_=

[Bridagierz]

All these people saying you need extra arms to play this obviously don't play piano. This isn't easy, but at the same time it isn't extremely difficult. If put into the difficult songs category, this rests close to the bottom.

[dylanendemidrijver]

13 ppl saw the thumbs upside down

[victormaurell]

Goro from MK can play this. I just can't.

[victormaurell]

Goro from MK can play this. I can't.

[ichijofumie]

what program did you used!!!

[redclaw202]

@ichijofumie Synthesia.

Probably my favorite song from Clannad~ Other then Dango Daikazoku, of course. ;)

[soulreapercap11]

I want to learn how to play this but i'm a complete novice and just dont know where to start

[NerdAbiIity]

@soulreapercap11 Check out my 50x Version of this Song, its a lot slower. You'll learn it in no time. :]

[joshuaxiong66]

haha.... i attempted to learn this. was hard.. actually.. difficult.. still learning it though. haha... now my hand hurts like hell. gg.

[ironwarrer]

OHHH my GOD!!! T.T Why man is impossible to conceive that I can not mourn when I hear this beautiful, warm and noble song? T.T. ... NaGISA !!!!! NaGISA !!!!!!!! T.T

[NEWYorksFinest3012]

best 1:31 of my life :D

[zebdal]

0:26 wrong note

[cute20204545]

[murkkus]

[pileofmarshmellows]

There goes my dream...

[Gamersean312]

Greatest show ever created! You deserve a CROWN OF EPICNESS!

[FilipXD112]

Omg I am so sorry, I accidentaly clicked on dislike, I thought there is only a bar for "Like" :D

[zZMrBobZz]

[gugulu13777]

[MESTupONmuffens]

Made me think of the saddest part of CLANNAD After Story :( (btw this is purely amazing!)

[CoolChibi1]

9 dslikes?! OMG i love this

[KamichamaKarin1603]

I played this over and over on my piano.Now I think my piano's broken....

[TechnicalTerminator]

My dream was shattered when i saw how much you have to push and stuff D: Haha im an ammeture pianist.

[jlk97lolz]

WOW O.o Mind Blown

[helium9100]

[Sydney1212bunny]

U know when u look at this tutorial it makes the song impossible to learn but it's really easy

[balance101oldshoes]

Out of all the songs in the world this is the 1 that I wanna learn how 2 play lol I LOVE this tune!!!!

[shadowkunai12]

Mind=blown i dont think ill be able to play this

[ThingsFallApart08]

Obviously 8 people were more into to Twilight to watch Clannad After Story

[mizzcandylover1]

@ThingsFallApart08 im a fan of both and i love both, i love clannad a little more tho :))

[MrPilleyboy]

@ThingsFallApart08 sadly it went up tp 13 

[TheHalfBloodDemon666]

[Johnnorth1919]

[VietMylan]

I'mmma learn it... whether if it's hard to play it or not! IWILLLEARNIT!

[XForgottenNeroSlashX]

I felt a sudden stab in my chest after watching this ._.

[lilkikosuckaz]

;( im so sad my fingers started hurting when playing this

[LuigiLover1000]

Prepare to qrow seven arms o_ol|

[Unh0ly0ne]

@LuigiLover1000 I would understand if you'd comment an insane piece, but this ... ehm..

[HalfGlitcH2320]

@LuigiLover1000 haha... thats funny, but atually i play this version on the piano and i only have three arms :)

[StylezZBeatzZ]

@LuigiLover1000 lol nah, if you had any piano iq, left hand does an octave while the right hand does all that jump stuff.

[HitsuguyaToshiroRen9]

you are sooo cool this is pretty good i love it :)

[HitsuguyaToshiroRen9]

@HitsuguyaToshiroRen9 i am on my boyfriends account cause i forgot to log out of his :( his use to be my old account so i just gave him this one

[AnimeMasterxGamer]

wow i need to practice more so i can play this...btw can i have the music sheets for piano?? i need it ...i'll appreciate if you can give me the link thanks :D

[Grungekid941]

the ending of the song is my favorite part

[JadeSilverwing]

I don't know how to upload the video :'(

It just tells me to get premium :/

[moonlooker95]

What program is this i would like to give it a try are there any speacial things i need to have installed in my keybored to play this. this seems reallt advance but i think i will injoy pulling it off

[lc235]

@TheBananaketchup & cuppiedude20. Me too!!! The part starting at 1:10 was what got me addicted to this song!

[moonmayshine]

I cant even imagine being able to actually play this, Im not that deluded about my skills. Its just a beautiful sing and you can hear just listinging whoever wrote it put there heart into it. Im almost certain tears were involved, its sad, but theres always a little note of hope. I hadn't heard this in 11 months, yet it filled me with the same feelings i felt back then :)

[Jericho11894]

How do you play this?!

[Xxjenny005xX]

so cooool ! :)

it sounds so awesome!

I want to learn how to play it, even though im an amateur, & i dont really know how to play. c:

[TheBananaketchup]

First time I heard it on After Story, I keep on skipping it. But then One time I ended up on 1:10 of it... It took my attention and I liked it since then.

[cuppiedude20]

@TheBananaketchup thats so weird cuz the same thing happened to me!

[knightchick0883]

Clannad has the most beautiful music, doesn't it?

[JVHQ]

thank you for uploading this :) - Appreciated.

[Xodrophine]

Left hand is below the middle C....

[tommybui]

can you put color for right and left hand?

[EllRaay]

nvm i got it

[EllRaay]

im stuck on 0:48

[Animeloveryj]

U must be a pro to play that song!!! :o

[TheKaTT0]

@27vtech well you can always download synthesia(the software he used on the video) and down load the midi(he posted it up read the description) and your all good to go. you can adjust the speed by yourself 100%~0%. hope this helps even though he posted something similar to his comment already.

[neena255]

I WONT GIVE UP!!! I WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY THIS I PROMISE!! :DD

[narutomaster529]

It may hurt a bit, but I can solo play this :P

[27vtech]

Please make a video with a slower speed!! please!! I need to know how to play this and i cant do it with this video

[TheKaTT0]

you know, its not hard to tell which note to be played by what hand. it might look difficult, but some note are holded by a pedal. you should also know MOST fingers can only stretch about 8 keys. and the arpeggio part, just make it look fancy by using two hands crossing over ^^. you guy might be saying this because you probably dont play piano and just want to learn this song because its beautiful. but remember perfect practice makes perfect.

[monkeydjulio]

haha ya casi me lo aprendo me falta del segundo 10 en adelante

[HalfGlitcH2320]

Very possible to play , I've learned to play this song with this tutorial fully ... Keep trying people.

[LgBlazer]

I know the first 33 seconds but too bad i need 2 hands to play the right hand! So hard!

[hild654]

pretty good but the cord sounds very bad in the beginning

[Xhendraful]

A little bit broken.

[MissClannad]

someday....

i will be able to play this perfectly....

[no1andycar5]

Is this in a 3/4 time signature??

[UltimateW910]

can you make a full version to this

[AngelDivine101]

i feel like watching clannad again...

[samthemanB3]

i cant figure out how to separate the right and left hand!!

[crazitaco]

omg i have to learn this song, its so amazing!

even if im not really at that level yet, i gotta try!!

[CursMarck]

.....W....W.....WO.........WOW­......

[XOSiren18XO]

I might need a third hand, my hands are sadly to small to reach the keys for my age which is kinda sad.

[25Renita25]

Some of the notes are wrong. I can hear eeet. @.@

[snakecharmer2000]

i cried so many times in this anime and im proud of it and im a boy :P

[kalynn10100]

i love it o.o

[suwwan1994]

omgggg i hate when best anime series enddd .. I DIE :(

[BBQwatchman]

i have a better version if anyone wants! but this is a good interpretation none the less!

[cranbjuice13]

I look at this.. And wish I could play it..

[IIbismarkII]

WTF?

[TheiKiwi]

im confused but clearly dude ur an alien with 5 arms cause ur amazing :D

[TheFifthTake]

Its only humanly possible to play the first part if you have 3 hands.

[CrazzedShinobi]

Okay I can learn it, I can learn it...... Or maybe not... T-T

[YourHeartsSong]

this isn't a tutorial? tutorials are at slower speeds than the original.

[TheLeong31]

Wow...Piano hero?

[bkrandyscrub]

Omg, i came here from watching Dango Daikazoku and was like O_O" from how confuzzling it is @_@

[luver20000]

Oh goodness i really wish you could do this again and put it slower or something! I cant do it i`m so sad wahh :'(

[snakecharmer2000]

omg so complicated @_@...

[xAiiRPLANES]

I need to grow another arm. > <'

[LittleSnowyGurl]

I bet those 6 people dont know the meaning of piano.

[HikariEtsuko]

i love this ! its so beautiful

[paulopbga]

umm could you fix the link for the midi please

[AnimestyleII]

@paulopbga It's not broken?

[DonRay23]

@AnimestyleII It is broken. When you hear through the whole song the sound will suddenly disappear. just downloaded yesterday.

[returnjigoku45]

@paulopbga woooow cheers for the link!! and Clannad :P.

[JapAnimeBoii]

[Morokami]

@xPeAcEfOeVa The program is called Synthesia.

[xPeAcEfOeVa]

What is this program? Very beautiful, btw~~

[snakecharmer2000]

the 6 people who dislike it suck!!!

[Rick4ever1234]

@AnimestyleII if you could please post a 50x speed version. I NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS... its too beautiful

[AnimestyleII]

@Rick4ever1234 Download synthesia (synthesiagame [dot] com) and the MIDI file (megaupload [dot] com/?d=LEBD20ZT) and you'll be able to set the speed yourself :)

[VoidTroopiez]

@Rick4ever1234 50x isnt it do fast ? you will piddle your pants. i hope you mean 50% or 1/2 speed ver,

[Rick4ever1234]

@VoidTroopiez Oh yeah i meant that.. 100x would be 100% and 50x would be 50% lol, 50x fast would be ridiculous haha

[VoidTroopiez]

@Rick4ever1234 Ask an Asian for playing a 50x speed ver. :D

[Rick4ever1234]

@VoidTroopiez Ahahahah, like on that comment :)

[AnimeNinjaAttack]

one of my favorite piano songs and one of my favorite shows

[sirepiano]

Makes me so sad but happy. I want to play this song so badly but it is really hard

[sirepiano]

Makes me so sad but happy. I want to play this song so badley but it is really hard

[PHAILARTIST]

Jees it makes it look like you need 3 hands xD

[Piggywarz]

yay, i learnt how to play this.

[NarutoFan941]

this is gonna be really hard for me because you can hear my low keys more than you can hear my high ones on my piano and well that pretty much distroy every anime song i try to learn :'(

[atschiiLi]

I tried to learn this song, but it's pretty hard!



[HetaliaWorldSeries20]

^^ Thanks I've been looking for the midi file for awhile!! and i've eared that you're a good artist... And I'm new on youtube... ^^'

[leloshen89]

its so hard to do it help

[fanaticforanime]

I love this music but it looks pretty hard. 

[Raafiki1]

awsome :D

[giabao102]

hey can you colar code it so i can tell which hands play which? please and thank you.

[DN119SF]

I haven't a hope of even trying this; I just love the song and love watching the complexity of the music unfold along a line of (what is to me) meaningless shapes~

[XuAsa]

I Just Like this anime so i lobe the songs to^^

[XuAsa]

Nice!!

[bearruler]

headache T^T wish i continued my piano lessons when i was young

[delgadomalo]

what is the program to make turorials?

[KHnaruto29]

this song is beautiful. i makes be want to cry and smile. it's both sad with a little bit of happy underneath. beautiful.

[morone91]

what prog is this is just like playing o2mania but more fun

[moonmayshine]

its sad, but its still got a bit of happyness you can hear underneath : ) it makes me smile. it sounds hopeful.

[LCxCZ]

@moonmayshine Are you sure is doesn't make you smYle?

[cean692]

@moonmayshine Well said, I just love the introduction from the afterstory. It may sound sad but it actually makes me happy listening to it : )

[MagicHat797]

i downloaded the file, but when i tried to play it through synthesia, it didnt want to work... any help, hmm?

[Kideshu]

Piano Hero

[jasonexalch]

do u have a list that show a piano tut step by step?

[dark30]

is there a slower version of this? it would be easier for me to follow and memorize each individual part

[AnimangaZero]

It's really good played and I'm so learning it but I need the pedal and my keyboard is to small *sob* T-T

[21Darthminky21]

I dont mean to be like moaning or anything, but could you post a version where like the left hand part is in a different colour or something? This would be a great deal easier for me to learn, cos theres so much going on its hard to keep track of which hand is which lol :L

[kamichamasseason2wan]

I luv this song so much :D Clannad and Clannad After Story made me cry but it was so sweet

[Allowei]

Guuuh this reminds me of poppin' music xD

[Dattes123]

i am soo going to learn this... its a once in a lifetime opputunity!

[xKillerKittenx]

its like you need ten hands xD

jk but such a beautiful song <3 i luv the anime to ;]

[MoonlightFilmworks]

I would. LOVE to play this on the piano (: Thanks for uploading!

[createroffsakurahigh]

is this a game for the computer or somthing ?

[KosovanPower]

Impossible for any human to perform perfectly haha.

This is one of my fav anime openings ever.

clannad for life T_T

0:42-1:31 best bit :)



[snakecharmer2000]

@KosovanPower

you can do it if u have really long hands o_o

[ShadowSword32]

@KosovanPower There are some YouTubers who perform it somehow

[Eldrene101]

@KosovanPower It's not as difficult as you may think it is. Sure it'd take some time to learn, but anybody who has seriously spent a few years on the piano would be able to pick it up fairly quick. If I were to guess, it'd take me about 2 weeks of playing it an hour or so a day, some people it would take a lot less or a lot more time, just depends on where they are at overall. Then again, this one might take me less because I've already played some Clannad pieces that hive parts of this in them.

[WhatToNameMyselfTV]

@KosovanPower I beg to differ, best part is from 0:00 - 1:31 hehe :3

[Codyhang]

It's kinda hard because all of the keys are the same color. I can't tell what notes each hands play.

[Sapphire348]

Hey can you do The Place Where Wishes Come True?

[kyotohru97]

i love this song especialt toward the end in the vocals when there sorta whispering thts my fave part!!!

[SugarRush150]

lol i think its easier to learn the last part first haha

[ZeldaFreeak10]

i'm learning piano just to play this song

[y4nm4n]

@ZeldaFreeak10 I learned piano for this song and it took me about a year to recreate it so it would sound nice enough on a piano. I'll be posting a vid pretty soon too. Good luck with that :)

[xumatri]

learned the last part first =)

[miruko31]

mission impossible 69.

I love this song. and I hope I'll get better in playing my keyboard and than I'm going to learn it!

[Reisyukaku]

holy fuck, there is no way i can do this on virtual piano lol.. im still getting use to dango daikazoku

[Pandaboo657]

@Reisyukaku im almost done learing Dango Daikazoku. :D It gets easier to learn when you see the patterns in the Dango Daikazoku ^^

[Reisyukaku]

@Pandaboo657

hehe, well i managed to find an old keyboard in my basement and got it working. The only thing that sucks is ive never played piano b4 so i can only play right hand notes and i cant split my brain into 2 to play with both hands

[Pandaboo657]

@Reisyukaku LOL ive never played piano too until 2 weeks ago (ok mebe i played piano when i was i little kid.. but i was fooling around so yea :P) xD Also when i try to play several notes at the same time... i put the notes together depending on the measure of the note(s) ....so yea xD

[ZellDenver]

@Pandaboo657 Good advice!

[Pandaboo657]

@ZellDenver haha thx :P
