How to play Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles on Piano

[xCEOxHitman]

Srry but it sound like shit

[AtownPros]

how the hell do you expect us to know the melody, when your hands are blocking the view???????

[leewilldie9921]

notes plz?



[buddys2244]

Got the first part but could you post a video explaining the meledy and how you played it at the end. It would really help but what I got from you was amazing! Really good job! Email me (if possible) if you make a video of the meledy part or if anyone else knows a video email me too!

[mooieblondjes]

very nice video

is it possible to make "have a little faith in me " tutorial

[DonFelax]

it's a nice video tutorial, now i'm playing with the right hand better than before seeing but when u play both hands at the same time i was confused at first, but learning by doing, so thank you for this tutorial =)

[gilly756]

it's Em

[gilly756]

you're no very good

[Beatlesful]

could i have the notes u were playing with ur right hand i could see very well>?

[namitarelalia]

it is very important which fingers you use espessialy when you try to teach people who might not know te basics. When they try it faster they will not succeed... Othewise, I like it

[xsuperegg11x]

i can play that better than you lol

[egyptiansushi]

@xsuperegg11x Good thing you looked up an instructional video! :)

[xsuperegg11x]

@xsuperegg11x just seeing how others played it.

[mrabdallahaldashti]

@xsuperegg11x ask us if we care. just do it.

[Nanosaur12]

great. i have a question: do you have the sheet music for me? i wanna play it.

[EJis15]

dude that was sooo awesome im learning to play it because i love the song itself!!!

[krikyz26]

JAMES WOODS lol but seriously nice work man simple took me three days to get it perfect

RATE N SUBSCRIBE!!!

[Donutsmasher1]

You uploaded this on my birthday lol

[christanuss88]

OMG i have the same keyboard

[footysam12345]

the melody is A A B G E G A B D C# B C# B A B A G A G A B C B A B B G E and thats all i know. The back ground is E G B for 12 counts and switch to E G C for 8 counts.

[footysam12345]

You have a spastic voice. but a very good version but on the all the lonley people i would hold the e cord then change to c cord on where do they do they all come from and so on

[medmondsr]

bravo. if i owned a keyboard i would learn it

[NikThaStik22]

i played this in orchestra on violin. perfect obviously

[hellokitty254698]

how do I play the melody!

[rocklobster910]

wordlife, your version sucks lol

[WatchThis1313]

i recognise your voice from somewhere..

[BlameTheSpam]

the fat kid from home movies lol

[ciarandel548]

James Woods the actor?

[goldfishinaglass]

Argh, i only want to learn the melody for the moment and i got some from another vid, and then got a bit more from this one, but it's so difficult! Thanks so much for uploading! it's just gonna take a while to learn ^_^"

[MrHobomatic]

the entire melody is represented in this tutorial. Its not played out entirely, but its all there. Its really not that long of a song. Lather, rinse, repeat.

[googolplex101]

The piece is not major or minor, it is written in the dorian mode, this came around during the renasance mainly, the scale for the dorian mode is d, e, f, g, a, b, c, d. this piece reflects that

[Droegon]

You play too fast i cant get the notes down! Thanks though, i really apreceate it!

[azerskater]

@Droegon ...Really?

[jemonteaucheval]

I made an arrangement as well, and you can find it here on YouTube. I think you've got a few of the notes wrong, though. Instead of going from G to E in the first part of the chorus, it's an octave jump from E to E. And in the second part of the chorus nearing the end, it's not G E B A E, it's goes like G E B A G. That's at least what it sounds like on iTunes, on the CD, in chorus, and other arrangements.

[akilanti]

Buenísimo!!con este video pude tocar el piano con las dos manos juntas por primera vez :)

Gracias por acercarnos a los Beatles

[grandth3ft3]

hehe thanks I needed to learn this for My piano class in school, and the sheet music is shit

[Singerchic0822]

heyyy we have the same keyboard :]

[mpauger15]

awesome video. I used to try playing it by ear, and it sounded almost exactly like this. I think it's pretty accurate.

[dandee40xxxx]

im buying a piano!

[shyxrox4]

you should buy a piano... its tons of fun .. i love it even though i cant play =]

[CJSweatt]

Good tutorial. Instead of moving the left hand so much, why not just use fingers 2,3,5 on the "c" chord, and just shift to fingers 3, 2, 1 for the e-minor chord? It seems that this would would improve technique.

Also, you could simply do an e-minor second inversion chord by playing the "C" chord and then, instead of playing the "c" note after the chord change, play the "b" with the left pinky - b, e, g.  This may change the tone of the piece a little though. It's all preference. Good tutorial!

[chcknpie04]

I agree, kind of. If you value your wrists, I would play the "C" chord with 5, 3, 1 (1 being the thumb on the left hand), then you can re-voice the cord so that C is on the bottom, and play F and A with fingers 3 and 1. You don't have to, of course. I'm not trying to sound preachy or anything. But I hear carpal tunnel sucks, lol :)

Anyway, thanks for the tutorial!

[InvisibleHandgun]

i agree let me know ifyou do atutorial on thelead part. kk

[PaperbackWriter95]

can you do a tutorial on the lead part? you did it too fast

[flukur]

[egyptiansushi]

[SillyBeatle]

@urgblurt it IS Elenore Rigby

[Hola24143]

@SillyBeatle Actually EleAnor Rigby.

[pianodannmarr]

Thanks. I actually like lessons that are short and to the point. It gives room for improvising.

[tigrankalevian]

Please, check out my piano version of Eleanor Rigby in my channel (with the sheet music)

[crazymcr4eva]

yeah it is! it doesn't work

[sonoflurch]

make it so we can SEE THE DAM MELLODY LINE!!!

[egyptiansushi]

the what what line

[sonoflurch]

[egyptiansushi]

haha, sorry I was making fun :P

the "damn melody", not dam mellody

[sonoflurch]

i no, but i dont like silent letters so i tend to miss the out

[ModistOne]

Cool video. Check out my piano version of Eleanor Rigby in my profile.

[scarfacehel9]

such a simple lesson... too simple and too boring waste of time

[egyptiansushi]

Then it's not for you. Don't bother commenting or looking at it. I specify that it's super easy. Don't complain that something is chocolate after someone tells you that it's chocolate.

[shitwhole3]

you have to think if its hard for people to learn it. sorry but your hand is covering it so I cant see. If your going to make a tutorial please consider other peoples views(literally).

[xdasxefilx]

than you... ive been wanting to learn this song.. lol thanx at first i was ehh hes going to fast.. then i kept pausing it and pausing it until i got it.. thanx man!!!

[hazelnutman]

Wow! Thanks! You're my new hero! lol!

[saturnstar718]

Thanks man that was helpful. Do you think you can play the melody slower next time, I can't see with your hand in the way. The chords part was great though!

[doublefantasy80]

only really sounds good with like a whole band.

[josezi82]

Your hand is kind of in the way to be able get the notes to the melody.

[subhomalien]

yes, actually they're that big

[thoitydoityboids8]

no its kinda hard to do that

[dihanM]

can u give notes to the melody of the song too

[egyptiansushi]

Can you try just watching it/pausing it/rewinding? It's a really easy melody-- almost all the notes are either one above or below the next one.

[shitwhole3]

no your hand is coverinq it so i cant see the notes. please show them in another tutorial slowly. thnx
