How to play Song from Halo 3 commercial: Believe

[TheDeathRendezvous]

Any tips for the end? I think it's the most challenging part to figure out.

[booger965]

love this video dude i never played the piano be4 and i studied this video and at thanksgiving i played this song and my whole family was like '' WTF?''

[DerGeckarbor]

Why is no ´´Chopin´´ in the Title ;_;

[TheCandlejacker]

Damn... My keyboard is too small... to fit all the notes I need to move up a few steps, making it sound so light.

[loisenjulia]

thank you very much for posting this! There actually are people that can't read notes that well but have the skills to play this piece.

[VuneAlpha12345]

cant really see around 3:50

[Skeptic990]

This piece made that commercial great, without it it would have been far less epic. Keep makin' gaming worth it Bungie. <3

Hats off to Chopin btw.

[Skeptic990]

[Jesskahhh666]

This song came out in a Halo commercial?

lol.

Chopin is one of my favorite composers...

[apdoshi70]

wow this is a disgrace to chopin.

You can't give a tutorial on how to play a chopin piece.

People won't have the technical skill to play this.

but thanks for posting it anyways bobsmithie .

if this carries on there will be a tutorial on fantasie impromptu.

Listen to it .A great work of chopin.

[bruceconant]

@apdoshi70 troll?

[apdoshi70]

wow this is a disgrace to chopin.

You can't give a tutorial on how to play a chopin piece.

but thanks for posting it anyways bobsmithie .

[REXXDG134]

lol. my piano barely had enough keys!

[Tim85axira]

Defenetly a good totorial! I could see the whole song...why are people complaining?

So...the hands where in the way of 2! notes...just play and listen wich one the sounds best! Now I know this song thanks to you! Me and My friends thank you!

[masketkiller101]

One guy in my school thought Chopin was a hockey player... thank you 21 generation education...

[dwAxel]

Thanks this man for his lesson. He make me happy :)

[KillerXIIIj]

love the part 6:53 - 7:08 =)

[TheToolman40]

thank you so much for this tutorial. i learned it last year. my friends love it when i play for them too. thanks!!

[TheToolman40]

thank you for this tutorial! i learned this from your video last year and my halo friends have loved me playing it for them. thanks you so much!!!

[27Tyrrell]

your hands in the fuckin way half the time

[sightless0wisdom]

Hmm, looks like the sheet music you posted contains the same error. Its a really minor mistake, not really noticeable unless you're listening for it.

[sightless0wisdom]

There is a minor error at 2:44. In the video, the note played by the middle finger is an E, but it should be the C# directly below it. The thumb is playing the correct note. You make the same mistake when you repeat the section up to speed. Perhaps you overlooked this detail when first learning the piece?

[trunkzproduction]

hey I just did a remix of this osng after watching this video ha. Its on my page come check it out!

[soerenna]

thanks dude this is great :)

[mummysez1mspecial]

pleeeeeaaase do one on "I am listening" by James Newton Howard

[OgLittleRain]

amazing

[moocow12012]

i didnt upload his i favorited iy

[MrsJupy]

??? What's this??? It's not the piece from Chopin ! It's trashy...

[recon294]

what setting is your keyboard on

[fayk0]

can u tell me what the notes are from @3:22 to @4:07

[fayk0]

fits the aid perfectly why not have it Plus this is an excellent piano song...

[0DemiAnn0]

@kurapicaasakura I'm agree

[roylandista]

first video i've ever seen about this song (tutorial), oh well seems good, but im trying to learn the full song wich is great, ( whole prelude 15) by sheet and its really really hard

[Sandcloaked]

I know this is pretty amauterish for me to ask but how many keys do you need on your keyboard to play this song fairly well?

[cornbagel]

on my 76 key keyboard, when i play this song, at one point i am using the very last note on it, but I think a 64 or so would be possible to play this on

[klaxtriz]

wooow you're lucky to have such big hands! at 3:00 from the C sharp to E i have to use both of my hands because i can only just about reach an octave :P

[phonics1212121212]

i learned how to play it but the ending i dont have the extra kys on my board

[mattyboy98gm]

i cant see what he did at 0:39

[gtspartanfury]

he just plays those two notes D sharp and F sharp

[firestater113]

r u using a sistain pedal

[jimjin987]

this is a good learning

video

[hexcrackerjtj]

i wanted to play this song so bad after seeing ep 6 of big o. THANKS!

[FreeMMOReviews]

lol I used to be able to read music perfectly when i was 6. I am 16 now and I COMPLETELY forgot. Thank you SOO much!

[crimminsg77]

lol i am the exact same way man it just happens :/

im getting back into it luckily

[smaned117]

Thank you SOOO much. It took me 7 hours, but now i can play it, and pretty well too actualy, thanks man.

[rvz77]

as well. Cant thank you enough. I pieced it together myself, but you solidified a lot of turn arounds and sections I didn't quite get. thanks!

[Mastaachief]

FIRST PART DOWN :)

[freshechidna]

uh why don't people just learn to read music notation? it's much easier than following a tutorial like this lol

[Mastaachief]

it's harder to learn to play a song without actually knowing how to play the piano, so people use the tutorial

[sjpc33]

cheap

[porkypiney]

iv'e tried to learn notes but i dont have what it takes to learn them... dont know why but it all seams like reading gibberish

[narcl]

I can read music but i find these tutorials much easier and faster to learn on its just a preference really.

[freshechidna]

But the more you read music, the better at it you will become.

[narcl]

I've been reading it for 10 years now I'm not going to get much better unless I want to learn Tenor Cleft.

[mepizzasmangled]

i try 4 2 weaks i can now play it thank u so mutch xD

[Massy012]

Are you using the Clavinova?

[BQGR117]

thanks my friend ! its great

[lorzate]

WOW! that's so cool

[cortana717]

thx this video is great!!!

[Thesquarepie]

it's like.... Ab, Ab, Ab, Ab, Ab lol this piece is bloody hard

[OreoBoyInc]

its really good but i think you could've taught it better

it was hard to put it all together

[ruudieboy123]

cant u read?

How to play Song from Halo 3 commercial: Believe

halo 3 COMMERCIAL not halo soundtrack, just the trailer......

[Gilopflor]

raindrop prelude Chopin XD

[edit11]

Haa i Go with DeathGodTuska ! Did it also playd "Hungarina Rhapsody" Sum guy Goes Hey thats TOm and Jerry? Soo.. u get the Point that how that Gear of war Music, HOW IT END" next thing u know Fools would be Trying to look 4 the Song..sooo Its Kinda a Good way getting Known.but i Get U.

[matronx]

your page with the sheet music seems to be gone. can you re upload it? PLZ

[Kroy23]

thanx, did u take ur foot off the pedal at all during the song, doesnt' sound like it, but i can't b sure

[frankiedude666]

raindrops by chopin. what a piece of music. but preferably not on a keyboard. :P

[DeathGodTuska]

i was playing this song at a music store and someone said "Oh hey! Its from Halo!"

I love Halo...but when the great works of Chopin only get noticed when they are featured in commercials...

what is this world coming too?

[kizzykan]

You spelled "to" wrong. Chopin would have been happy to get the fat royalty check, gaming is opening up a whole new world to composers.

[DeathGodTuska]

Well excuse me for not knowing english perfectly well! I KNOW composers are getting into gaming and such,but for someone to ONLY know that song from a game kind of disturbs me.

You are a very rude person,i think.

[metroinyourarse]

well i think ur a fucktard cunt douche wipe

[mustardede]

Nerd at English grammar? I think he's being literate, unlike you, using "ur" for "you're."

You only make yourself sound unintelligent and quite frankly in your terms. "A stoopid fookturd!"

[s4m2]

@kizzykan Agreed. It's a new art that takes the talent of many people to collaberate properly.

[228Ghost228]

@DeathGodTuska sorry to say this but, only in america...

[kylezehmahn]

@DeathGodTuska at least it's known

[CrazyMike117]

@DeathGodTuska I know!! I had to look up "Halo 3 beleive" instead of "Fredrick Chopin no 15 raindrops" I hate it!!!

[swimjim4012]

@DeathGodTuska shut up

[MDkid1]

@DeathGodTuska lol thats funny, I love the commercial don't get me wrong, but I'd be rather pissed as well!

[xsquirrelstewx]

@DeathGodTuska I don't understand why you'd expect someone to recognize the works of someone dead for 150 years over something familiar they saw on TV the day before.

By the way, I don't know what the world is coming TO when people can't spell "TO."

[kickassprivate]

@xsquirrelstewx I dont know maybe because he composed it and the people are like "oh look, its from halo!" and they dont give like credit to the person who actually made it.

[Shaymus22]

@DeathGodTuska it's coming to a state where Chopin is before everyone's time, and Halo is happening right now.

[oxob3000]

you did it wrong at the end

[fr4nky4fingers]

thanks for posting this video.

And no offense but this makes me so glad that i have a classical-wooden-non-electric piano.

[ArbyJSS117]

my dad is a pianist LRSM and he showed me how to play this

[homler]

hey just wanted to say thanks so much for the tutorial. it was was very nice of you! *two thumbs up!*

[Chiraen]

I'm not able to do the one at 3:00, my fingers are too short

[ArbyJSS117]

funniest comment ever! ROFLROFL

[devilopaido]

There's little doubt Microsoft has been pinning a great deal of hope on Halo 3 and was expecting it to be the must-have game for the Xbox 360, much as the original Halo was for the original Xbox when it came out in 2001. The theory is that many consumers will buy Xbox 360s to play the new game, though only time will tell if that is true. Microsoft did not release any new figures on immediate Xbox sales.

[Iildimsum7]

your mom

[123123321321321321]

bro you never fucking talk its so fucking hard to understand your teaching you should fucking talk so someone could undersrand how to play the song it how to play but the funny thing is that you dont teach how so why the fuck did you write how to play when you are just playing the song fucking dumb ass

[ngt55ps]

Hey thanks for the tutorial. But I'd like to mention you left out an entire chord in the right hand at the end of the song. At 7:57, the C should be a C#, and the next chord should be the one you played instead. Not a big deal but it was driving me NUTS when it didn't sound right when I played it.

[jonwa01]

wtf is this, not even near the original

[TarousDT]

Please play the last part of your tutorial at the end so we can see how the left hand fits with the ghit because I can't figure out how they go together it keeps sounding weird to me

[chopin7777777]

Graciaa me a ayudado muchisimo para tocar la partitura completa en si, te lo agradesco cuando tenga mi piano afinado y pueda grabar mi actuacion seria una gran ilucion para mi que pudieras ver lo que has creado colgando este video en youtube para alguien como yo. un abrazo de todo corazón bobsmithie.

[beckhank]

wow this is really good!! is there anyway you could do a video on the rest of the song? Because i cant read music but really want to play this song, thanks :)

[Tim85axira]

wow, thanks this video relly helpt me!! 5*

[justfunnythings]

summerboy go lay r muma

[ragazzafacile18]

okay.....

what kind of fingering is THAT, just out of curiosity. lol

[pritstik101]

asexual

[mummysez1mspecial]

I hate tutorials where the people dont talk to explain what their doing, it pisses me off on guitar and it pisses me off on piano.

[bobsmithie]

mummy- then DON'T WATCH THEM! LOL

[mummysez1mspecial]

but its the only tutorial that i can find. it was hard enough finding the name of this song.

[bobsmithie]

Mummy- In that case I will give you a full refund. ;)

[mummysez1mspecial]

LOL!! :D

[halofanaticboy]

@mummysez1mspecial Raindrop Prelude

[masketkiller101]

@mummysez1mspecial if you knew music truely you would find it easly :)

[beckhank]

why do they piss you off?

because most of the time people moan if you do talk and by not talkin you can concentrate on trying to get the notes right without someone talking all the time please give the guy a break!!!

[HUm4ns]

@mummysez1mspecial i think on this one its fairl obvious what he's doing the whole time.

[LOTRFrEaK911]

I decided to learn the entire song instead of what the commercial used.

[bagelgod]

Very nice.

[summerboy911]

thats not the song dumbassasassa dam fuck all who like this

[LOTRFrEaK911]

I believe the song is raindrop by Chopin not halo 3 believe ad lolz =)

[TarousDT]

That wasn't really a tutorial...

[justfunnythings]

he knows more about it than you do segabreaker62 so shut ur goddamn trap

[1994maguire1994]

one ov d only ppl hu achusly got al d song right.. fair play m8 ;)

[justfunnythings]

u cant see ur other hand very well on the faster parts

[sagabreaker62]

You dunno what you're doing do you?

[hankyspankyU33]

Damn, my hands are just a tiny bit too small to play the ending.

[dentistxxx]

Thank You.

[42brian42]

sweet

[Wolveram]

Thank you very much! Especially for the sheet music download!!!

[pigeonbeatbox]

i agree what a song i love it

[tyatkns]

how do u get the sheet music

[yomomma3000]

check the info box

[bartthei]

does anyone know where i can get the sheet music for this for free?

[elapichoo]

lmao xD

[Vorail]

look at the little info box dude.

[yomomma3000]

check the info box

[alexgollan]

tutorial clearly for those who have never ever played before . i can play this song, all of it. It's the raindrop prelude by chopin. If you have the music, its not hard to read.

but good tutorial for those new to the piano.

[ZAManGirl]

Forever, this is not wrong...! u can't take hes better than you or what ?

[ForeverLenore]

don't do this! this is completly wrong i can play the song! don't do it!!!

[dangreenanzu]

I love it!!! I can't believe it, I can play it now. thanks a bunch 5/5!!! You are awesome!! (now to watch how you play it all together >_>)

[jazzsaxplayer1]

This is cool...except for having to watch the painful fingering errors...ugh =/

*NEVER USE YOUR THUMBS ON BLACK KEYS LIKE THAT!!!!!!!*

it's bad technique nevermind the fact that the way you used them hurts lol ;)

[comebackkid84]

uhh maybe its because he's trying to show us how to play by not covering up the keys....

[ForeverLenore]

true

[Fabbydabbydoozy]

Nice tutorial. I was looking for something like this. Thanks for sharing! And the sheet music too!

I am only playing 2 years though and I think I might find this one a bit difficult. I'll keep you posted :)

[thelonepianist]

nice tutorial. You should probably buy another set of sheet music because the internet versions can have errors in fingering(as longlivesparta said). oh and rhoads182 the name of the piece is prelude op.28, No.15 or "raindrop" prelude and if I see someone calling this piece "believe" I might have to shoot them...

[ryker012]

maybe you should put the camera a little higher mate nut it was a bloody well job nontheless

[MyAssCanTalk]

it was an okay tut but u could learn something from gotitans999 ;)

[rtytuyi]

chopin is an artist back with mozart and all them

[longlivesparta]

It's an okay video, but the actual Raindrops Prelude by F. Chopin calls for different fingerings that make it a lot easier to play. If you look at the actual sheet music, it'll post the fingering and stuff. You're playing too much with your right hand and not enough with your left in the beginning.

[rhoads182]

is believe the name of the song

[GenKirby]

I downloaded the song, I believe it's called "Chopin - Raindrops Prelude" it might have D minor or something next to it of course.

[Phil2o06]

It's measures 25-43 and 60-64 of Chopin's 'Raindrop' prelude.

[Halobotti]

yeah i guess its believe in a hero

[PoGZak1009]

Thanks so much for the vid!!! I put a video response of me playing it so thanks!

[patriotnations07]

Hey, THNX alot, got it down in a day, lol, good video

[BazzTheBoss]

YOU SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

[bobsmithie]

BazzTheBoss, Um I hope you realize that this is a HOW-TO video.

[GenKirby]

Don't you just love the youtube community? They're so retarded! Thanks for making this video, I'm trying to learn using this video you made. Great job.

[GenKirby]

Great, I made myself look stupid by putting pretty much the same phrase twice. =)

[Remred001]

wtf do i hear gunshots

[KoT6opuC]

quick get on the floor!!!somebody must be shooting near by)

[pawnagexxx1]

dude that is not halo!

[xxarbiterxx3]

yea it is.its from the believe commercial :D

[cooldude2rule]

YEs it stupid from the believe commercial

[crossraiyne]

i like it, alot. Kinda reminds me of Trent Reznor's piano work. Hes a god

[Arse7assassin]

Glad to see SOMEONE apreciates Nine Inch Nail's daydreamer music. For God's sakes, he even beats Marlyn Manson.

[otpre]

duud that was osum

[LenoreCullen]

That's Definetly NOT how you play it. go online and look for Chopin's raindrop prelude

(op. 28) no.15 in Db major.

[spawnoftoaster]

It is, at the very least, a pretty damn good enterpretation.

[forscyvus]

It's a cut version, but it's the real thing as far as I can tell.

[Warheart17]

It's a cut version dumbass from the Halo 3 commercial, cant' you read???

[cutepianoplayer]

After watching the commericial, I was eager to learn the song. Thanks!

[youraturd]

hey do u think u could post the notes for it?

plz and thank you awesome vid!

[munkybrain]

it's not a song lol it's a prelude

[blackhawk9779]

cool...i can almost play it, but just the last part....u need to to that thing where u show how its all put together, instead of that text where it saws "now watch the real video" thing at the end....

[bobsmithie]

blackhawk- I tried to, but there was simply not enough time as I could only go up to 10 mins, you can see that the video is over 9 mins as it is, it is simply due to time restraints.

[blackhawk9779]

hmmm...maybe just make a small new video of the rest?

[DUDEITSAKO]

Not to be ,ean or anything but do u have a version of this song in Db major?

[bobsmithie]

DIDEITSAKO- Um...this version IS in Db major. You can download the sheet music from the video description at the top right corner. The part from the commercial is the middle part of the song that modulates to the parallel minor key of C# minor, but that is the middle section of the song. The song IS in Db major, so I don't know what your question is.

[DavanfromOz]

EXCELLENT!!!!!! Thanks very much for the instructional video. Can someone please tell me what "key" this piece has been played in, in this video?

Many thanks.

Davan

[bobsmithie]

Davan- The original piece is in Db major, but this section that is used in the commercial is in the parallel minor key, which is C# minor.

[aTALLmidget]

i usually learn songs by reading the sheet music and be ear. mostly by ear i think, im not the best at reading sheet music.

[gangof6]

*practice*
