To Zanarkand FFX [old crappy version]

[Dragon4Force]

@Zrob654 Same.

[08Shuyin]

well it's a little bit faster than how it should be played. But if that's how you want to play it then it's alright. I believe that you did not do this by mistake, you only wanted to play it this way and it did sound good.

[swordpetals]

not too crappy and can really make a huge difference when u use new equipment. checked out the new one and MY GOD U R A LEGEND! u should make an easy tutorial for this cuz this song is the main reason I wanted to learn piano. Zrob654 u r so right. this song was pretty fast and u seem to have more emotion in ur other vid. btw are u in your pajamas playing and night or is it the camera?

[DunklerZebralord]

No matter how bad your camera is - it can't change your skills, and... Whoa! They are awesome!

[Lypur]

@DunklerZebralord :) If you haven't seen the new version I did, than you should really check it out :)

Thanks for the compliment man!

[RushVeros]

I here by stand in awe at the incredible speed and accuracy (on most occasions). Man, how do you play piano this well?! hmmm, I only have a keyboard that is older than me! Though, I am pretty young, so... still, you are great! Your videos inspired me to give piano another chance, and with your help, I'm getting there! =D

[JavaFreak42]

Way tooo fast :/

[jirachi91]

It's too fast and some missing notes.

[JoyzERMaxPro]

for me its ok :)

[andretatontos]

@jirachi91 i don't think so DX

[melagads]

fast forward

[ChrisKyu]

Trooop Rapide !

[Athsla]

c'est un cover, pas une reprise si il veut le joué rapidement ou lentement il a le droit, il le joue comme il l'aime pas comme toi tu l'aime

[Ode1029]

Your newer version is definately played with much more passion. Still a great job.

[DeathToTheseWalls]

Dang it.

Even your crappy version is better than I can play the song. lol

[Tomahawk1505]

wow the new camera really makes a difference, what is the new one? And sorry to keep sending a million msgs

[Lypur]

are you asking what brand my new camera is? If you are it's Canon VIXIA HF-100 shoots in full 1080P HD ^_^ and yep it makes a huge difference!

[WindowsFatalError]

Too fast

[r0bz0rly]

was very nice, maybe a couple of notes off, but who really cares? you made it sound beautiful with the varying tempos (I think that's what you'd call it..?) and did the king of video gaming music proud.

[FlammableFuzion]

haha and here i'm thinking you only did classical! I always thought this song was beautiful and is one of the reasons I wanted to take up piano! Nothing like a versitile piano player! Two thumbs up Lypur

[SallyEngrave]

i loove this instrumental. teach us master :)

[isokarvakasa]

This song is the reason why I wanna learn to play piano, thanks for the lessons i'm learning a lot :D

[Aerros11]

Ha this was the second song I ever performed xD

Awesome job man..thanks for all of your videos

I'll keep watching them

[laurarox01]

I can play this on my keyboard. you are lucky 2 have a real piano!

[helixsqrd]

Ur awesome, a piano teacher that knows final fantasy

[seik666]

Wow nice one man, great song isnt'? One of the first song I tried to play on piano...the game is kick-ass too XD

[rizelinez]

it's beautiful! btw y dont u play the full version??

[jcookizncreme]

that was really awesome. i learn most of the song, but then i had to quit because my keyboard wasn't long enough so there was enough octaves. =[

[TAYLER49]

wow that was so WonderFul

[VisualKeiGuru]

YA FUCKED UP AT THE END~

[kologuy]

I haven't seen you playing a better version!!

[winxcat]

yeah!!

[valentino593]

you play very well...but i think it sounds better, if you play it a bit slowlier

[zeroflashx2]

what a coincidence! I'm currently playing FFX :D That was some very impressive playing from my piano teacher. ^_~

[Lypur]

^_^ i love this song as well, but i never really learned it seriously. My other classical songs have always had to take priority :( but i love uematsu

[tony102085]

i recently started playing the keyboard about a week ago never had lessons just started one random day and to zanarkand is one of my favorites. any advice on playing without having lessons?

[KeysOnTheCeiling]

Practice practice practice makes perfect!

[ShredTim]

Practice also makes permanent... make sure you have the right technique - at least thats what its like for guitar, I'm not as good at piano but I should think it's the same as they're both muscle memory.

[BrokenFish]

You know, just because of you I'm going to take my kids to piano lessons. (when I have them)I want them to be extraordinary like you. lol I sound like such a kiss ass, but yeah.. I like piano. I want them to have a talent.

[Lypur]

:) i feel honored that just because of me your kids will get the opportunity to take piano!

Thanks for the comment!

[victoryseieren]

I've never taken any "lessons", and I can't really read sheets, but thanks to piano roll in Music MasterWorks I'm able to play To Zanardkand and a bunch of other songs.

Lypur: I had to check out your "play with two hands" to see if there was a magical thing to learn faster, but I see it's only practice :(

( I usually memorize the right hand first, then add the left hand slowly )

And since you got the skills, you should really look up Younha - Houki Boshi.

[kirkwitter15]

nice playing i played the game and beat it by the way. dont want to bother you but theres a song called ai to shuu it is from naruto its a nice song i was wondering if you would look it up its nice.

[steve320732]

Did you teach yourdelf how to play, or Did someone help you out?

[Lypur]

I've been taking lessons since i was 5 years old ^_^ but i've taught myself the odd thing here and there.

[armegeddon7]

I have watched several of your piano videos in the last day or two. I like your touch. And how you bring out the melody and use good expression. How long have you played?

[Lypur]

why thank you ^_^ it's always nice to hear compliments, i've actually been playing for about 16 years now ^_^ i started when i was 5 years old.

[armegeddon7]

wow. it's unusual for people to be dedicated for that long. You really love the piano?

[Lypur]

yes i love it!

[armegeddon7]

I think it's the best instrument that ever was, and Lord willing, I'll be playing for 16 years and longer, too. God bless!

[Drular]

This tune is neat. Nicely played.

[Lypur]

thanks!

[watercolour]

good try, would be perfect if u understand the background story of the piece a bit more and made necessary adjustment on the tempo to create the quintessential atmosphere.

Also, it'd be great if u can avoid mistakes as much as u can.

^^

[adrianvel14]

going too fast and then slow lol but its good :D

[Lypur]

yea, a good changing pace like this would be called rubato, which was what i was trying to do to make this piece more dramatic etc

[adrianvel14]

ohhhh ok :D great job though ^^ and i love ur piano video lessons theyre really helpful

[Lypur]

yes, it' the same basic principles, the only thing different on keyboards is the touch. sometimes keyboards don't have dynamic sensitivity so you can't change how the notes sound, they all are the same volume.

[jduh1]

lol u made a mistake idono

[TopSideUp]

666 views :S

[TopSideUp]

you messed 7p near the end! youre playing it too fast :( slow down a little and feel the music! (constructive crit.)

[Lypur]

i wouldn't doubt the mistakes...when i recorded this, it was a song i knew alot time ago, and i just wanted to throw a recording together since i had everything set up

[Jenny2pa]

I want to learn that song so badly!! I love your playing so much!! If you don't mind, how long did it take you to learn this song? --5 stars--*2 thumbs up*

[Lypur]

umm, about 3 days when i first learnt it waaaaaaaaaaaay back in grade 8 piano. I stopped playing it for along time, and thought I'd relearn it to for youtube, so when i relearnt it it took me about...2 hours of practice?

[Jenny2pa]

That was so fast. It takes me like at least 4 hours to learn a pretty long song. But usually I say a month because I practice half an hour a week and the total hours would be a month. So far, Moonlight Sonata is the hardest I learned. It took me like 6 hours or more to learn the whole song.

[Lypur]

yea, it's a pretty nice song ^_^ although, i think the version you're playing is the easy version. The real version is in c# minor, and is 3 pages long, it takes a good 5 minutes to play.

[Jenny2pa]

I know. I heard the long version before and I'm guessing, it's going to take me forever to learn it. I just need to get the sheet music for that song.

[Lypur]

i have it, it's the full moonlight sonata movment 1, 2 and 3, it looks scary though;) it's a very high level song all together, the first movment is really not THAT hard, it's only about grade 6 level

[thafranchise]

damn man u r some smooth on that piano i just got a keyboard the other day and im tryin to learn how to play i favorited all the tutorial vids and gonna go through those keep up the good work excellent playing once again

[tinkerchel]

This song makes me cry..reminds me of all those hours i wasted on the game.:p You've played with such passion.Also love the "flourishy hand movements".

[Lypur]

thank you ^_^ at least someone appreciates the "flourishy hand movements" haha

[maccersa11]

I love this song.. I'm trying to teach myself piano. I can mainly play the melody =(

[Unbreakable0]

to me it's great :)

[takatakboy]

btw..you mispelled zanarkand..and i think you went a little too fast right after the middle part..just a thought

[takatakboy]

cool...hehe

[Lypur]

mmm...I don't intentionally do this actually, I have tendonitous and if I play to stiff, it hurts, so I just try to relax and let the weight of my arm drop into the keys since, using the muscles hurts the arms /alot/

[ShaeRin]

Try not to have so many flourishy things... Kind-of detracts from your playing.

[Lypur]

flourishy?

[ShaeRin]

My poor wording shines through ;) The hand wavey, flicking finger stuffs. I showed this to a friend of mine, whom is a professional pianist, and he does agree. Its kind-of over the top.

[ShaeRin]

Show your awesomeness through how you play, not how you glorify how you play :)

[Akvaris]

Try to relax when you play it, you seem to have the technique. Nice anyway!
