how to play Come Sail Away on the piano

[lilbennylol]

thx



[facewave64]

0:25 ohhh maiii gaawd your terrible at trills, your garbage

[chanceforegren]

Great video. I have already learned part of it, and have only watched through it once. So great job. You did a wonderful job.

[suckypianist]

you suck.

[webcamfan2569]

@suckypianist HEY APOLOGIZE THIS INSTANT! WHY DID YOUR MOM TEACH YA TO BE MEAN TO OTHER PEOPLE?

[cory45x]

Wow if you really knew music you would play it right

[lopez13542]

next video you make try to slow down and show each note slow

[davyjones112100]

the styx . . . lol fail

[FlickSuicide]

It's just Styx, no the... great tutorial though.

[gimmealiteracola]

By the way it only took half an hour to get it down after watching him a few times. I posted that last comment 35 mins after the first. My soul is at peace

[gimmealiteracola]

I would like to revoke my previous comment. I have already learned the beginning on both hands!! Im so happy right now!!!! If i can do it, anyone with working hands and a brain can do it. Assuming you have a keyboard or piano. An a desire to learn! You can do it!! Thanks to this guy!!

[gimmealiteracola]

Pretty easy if your fingers are gods children. For us mere mortals we need to slow down. Teaching someone to play that fast is like trying to get anyone to picture what a million dollars in singles looks like. It would take me very long to learn this song from this video. Still mad respect

[Matrika1969]

horrid



[venturabus01]

hands up if southpark bought you here

[85Nedx]

just hold down space bar to go slo mo

[TheLesExit]

I just had my first piano lesson tuesday. And learned how to play this song today almost perfectly. Thank you so much!!! I've been wanting to play this song for so long...but thought it might take me months. Guess not :) Slowing down a bit would help though. Anyways thank you!!!!

[Callofdutyguy06]

0_o A FEW DAYS AGO! GOSH UR GOOD!

[shadow441000]

alright who snuck into gods ipod!

[charlottemarx3]

Beautiful!!!

[lonewolf2444]

I have piano lessons for 5 or 6 years but had you ever play minuet because its a really pretty song and its easy to play.ITS VERY SAD THAT MY PIANO TEACHER IS HAVING SKIN CANCER D; .WONDERFUL SONG THOUGH. :D I want to learn how to play come sail away but slow down a little so,Thx.

[MinecraftMarik]

i almost got a orgasim from this is that normal?

[himynameisalonso1]

the styx? lol.. i really hate when people dont play the actual piano part of a song.. and go with the rhythm .. just saying

[Roymadman3]

slow down :(

[bballallstar1000]

@Roymadman3

u have to watch more than the first minute

[webcamfan2569]

@Roymadman3 IF YA WERE PAYIN ATTENTION, HE SAID "I'LL PLAY THROUGH IT FIRST SO YA GUS KNOW HOW IT GOES AN THEN I'LL SHOW YA HOW TO PLAY IT"! ARE YA DEAF OR SOMETHIN?!

[thebeejudy]

5:55 .... did i hear a "yeah" xD

[clarkboy50]

Amazing too bad im not that skilled :((

[xsoutheagle]

Great. You taught me how to, and even though its hard to play.. You still learned it. You have a great future ahead of you with those talents. Keep playing :)

[eparker174]

Good work.. love this

[jennykafe3]

that's not accurate at all

[BlasterTon]

You play it way to fast when you trying to teach it, and ou only play it once and dont even say the note...

[bridaks]

I thoughts this was Awesome !

I played Piano for many years when i was younger but i completely left it out of my life. Now with this song, the way you did it really wants me to practice Piano again.

It is so Beautiful !

Again I thank you from the bottom of my Heart friend !

Love&Light

[randy35241]

i think you dont give enough explanations for your left hand. not everyone is good enough to see what your doing on te first shot.( you go way to fast) but thank you anyways its very helpful.

[SitDawg]

very unorthodox, but regardless, very good!

[Reoku64]

@SitDawg

I agree with you in that the entire idea of learning piano through youtube is unorthodox, yet he still did a good job.

Everybody else complaining about his tempo or lack of teaching methods... you're using youtube... for free. Learn to read and buy music or stop complaining about 'tempo'. He had a great camera position and did a good job

[bob27563]

your left hand is wrong

[backyardfilms4u]

@bob27563 define wrong

[GamingAirbender]

Thanks so much, I have been dying to learn this song. It was always one of my favorites when I was little. You make it very easy to learn and follow. I can only do it by ear or fingerings as well, no sheet music. :P : Oh, and I actually think it's a pretty good speed. :)

[rocknetstudio]

thnaks jake. i'm trying to get pass the intro part on "lady" after the left chords D and C im not hearing how he goes up the next 3 chords .....any help thanks

[virtuosoism]

If you want to see the only authentic note for note sheet music of this song synchronized with the orginal 1977 audio recording by Styx, then visit the virtuosoism channel.

[ZavalaBrothers]

thank you!

[Fyeagass16]

It was so slow that i couldnt learn anything, yes, im being sercastic

[echev0725]

Hi Jake.

[t3hPoundcake]

'The' Styx - Hah.

[codyzulinski]

@t3hPoundcake I lol'ed at that too

[messina7679]

faster please.

[TheDilligan]

umm just wonderin. did you figure this out or is this the real way cause i play it slightly differently but it sounds much more like it.

also it was little fast.

[anthropophagic8]

good job, this will be a huge help to me. i do think the trills are a bit off, but everything else is good. people complaining are dumb. if it's too fast, it's called rewind and replay. stop wanting everything spoon-fed to you, take the time to learn it. and if people think it's so far off and terrible, then they can post a video response with them doing any better.

[mmnkkjGHPro]

the styx?

[Zepp710]

@mmnkkjGHPro lol so true

[seten10]

@mmnkkjGHPro yah

[pishposh11]

something that helps me on these video tutorials is to add annotations of the note names when you introduce them...it makes it a bit simpler

[pinkapple37]

i thought u did a very good job especially since it was all by ear. its a bit complex for me but thats ok cuz all it means is itll take me just a lil longer to figure it out. so thank u for all of the time u put in to this and ignore the haters cuz theyre wrong

[SoldierOJesus]

If you think of all the processes going on in the human brain and transferring those processes to your hands there is a lot going on here.It might not be perfect, so what. But he sat down and put time into the instrument. He has a fair sense of time and key placement. A little coaching on key relationships and this could be polished. Perhaps the time he took to learn this was spent learning to steal cars or break into houses, someone might be missing a coin collection and a set of wheels.

[guitarheroprochick]

Dont listen to all the negative comments(: This helped me alot. Thanks! Do you know anyother on piano? Lol

[frecheguy1]

its grate cept i couldnt learn caues u move a little too fast man

[stickfiguremakerable]

who new that eric cartmen sang this song on South Park!!!!!! if you did rate thumb up

[slimshady22248202]

Great Job! Practice makes Perfect!!!

[redcrayolaking]

haha waaaaay off, sounds busy and terrible, so evidentially you CAN'T play by ear at all...watch a real tutorial and stop teaching people the wrong way!

[zamton]

who's saying "yeah" at 5:57?

[geco24]

Thanks Jake!

[geco24]

The Sticks and this guy immatatin' the old band ( The Whats ) immatatin' a song they heard on the radio am station, that's settin' in a box, sittin' on the t.v.,on the chair.

Thanks.

[geco24]

The Sticks

[lyingpancake95]

You REALLY need to work on your trill, otherwise nice tutorial.

[thechucknorsK]

I just realized lightingdemon might be Dennis De Young or something... Great job by the way it amazing. kinda fast though.

[BethanyStevens0818]

JAKE... This is amazing! It's alright that you messed up.. That fag is jsut mad because he can't play this song at all(: It was great darling.. Don't worry about stupid idiots like him.. His worthless whore of a mother probably threw him in the trash when he was a baby(: You're doing fine... Keep up with making wonderful video's of you playing the piano..You're amazing<3

-BethanyStevens

[BlessedSpirit]

This is an awful way to learn to play the piano.. half assed.

[pinkfloyd5953]

@BlessedSpirit

DICK !!!

[who8mahbacon]

HI JAKE!

[MrCharlie0782]

your amazing. fuck lightning demon. he's just jealous.

[linkphan123]

Oh my god thank you so much. :D This was so much of a help. X3  You play it wonderfully. Thanks again!

[Jonnyrox20]

i use my ear too, this video was great for it, thanks!

[dirtyolbum96]

very good lesson but those "middle notes" your playing are called 5ths

[brycemilam4]

dude you're good and it sounds very good, but its hard to learn because its so fast. Thanks anywyas, maybe you should put on a slow-mo version

[aBaLlEr4LiFe14]

your going just a little fast lol but very nice piano playing =)

[Sonicthehedgehog73]

Wow, thank you for the video... I will spend the time to learn this.

[mrbraunfulo1]

its Styx not the Styx but thanks that wasa real good otherwise and real helpful

[justincarley]

Way too fast.. are you kidding?

[doctorrockerr]

very nice

[xperezx7]

almost kid

[rocknetstudio]

awesome .thanks you ever get around\d too it can you learn "lady'

[Fokatukc]

Sorry but you should rename this, it isn't a "how to" video, but your own cover. You're pretty close for playing by ear, but what you are playing is not the actual song as played by Dennis DeYoung.

To anyone wanting to learn this song: this is NOT the original song.

[TheAddidasf50]

good job man. I just think the trills around 00:26 and about 1:30 were a bit slow/off.

[Justcodmod2]

slow the fuck down sparks, and its just styx. you said "the Styx" the is not necesary

[90thatshot]

vvv ew dont listen to them you played it amazingly lol =]

[secretagentman321]

@LightningDemon and YellowDinosaur

both of you shut up, nobody wants to read your arguments. that's what youtube mail is for.

[Beyeohazardous]

YOU SHOULD PUT THIS IN YOUR DESCRIPTIONS :D beginning part (right hand) - 1:50 beginning part (left hand) - 2:22 beginning part (finished) - 2:40 chorus part (right hand) - 3:09 chorus part (left hand) - 3:26 chorus part (finished) - 3:54 bridge (right hand) - 4:40 bridge (left hand) - 5:19 Bridge (finished) - 5:57 end part (description) - 6:32

[mimagine3]

amg!! im so glad u put this up!! i have to play and sing for something and couldnt find anything and this is perfect!!!

[ChaseO5595]

Playing by ear, and reading sheet music both have their pros and cons. Being dependent on sheet music can definitely be bad when you lose it or don't have it w/ you and want to show someone. I don't read 'notes' persay, but I do read chords and you can usually find the melody from those chords.

[Peridos12]

very decent version for playing by ear Kudos to you.

[matteron0507]

@LightningDemon

I was reading the comments, and I was starting to really not like you. You seemed like a dick. BUT, you said that internet kids are almost as bad as niggers, which made me laugh. So I now like you, and that post.

[hello1232038]

You played very well and taught me the intro but i can't play the main part

[KingdomHearts12344]

That's awesome =D

Just for amusement, why not try 'Thriller' =3 That'd be epic

[nybokirby]

can you do this a little slower please that woulld help a lot thanks

[Daniel62593]

when the vocals start, your right hand is playing vocal notes right?

[nene72744]

man ure going a tad to fast

[Bureyeanne]

It is just Styx, not the Styx. Styx I'm told is the river that you take in the afterlife. I think it is featured in the movie Crow 2. not a big deal just FYI and you play very well.

[ContestX]

Nice job Jake. I'll be honest it was a little slow at 1:30 BUT. IT's perfectly understandable, don't let peeple give you shit about this it's amazing you can figure it all out by yourself. Peace out Bro.

[LoveJetNoise16falcon]

Good job Jake! Just wanted to say that in the 2nd part of the song when your just showing us the left hand, you play the A-E-A only twice before you fall onto the G and F. But when you play with both hands you play the A-E-A four times. Just something to be aware of. I thought the left hand was always played twice each cord. Then when you put it together it didnt match up! Anyway looking fwd to the your other videos. Good luck!

[usnavyrox]

Great job, the tempo is a little fast though.

[Toffnm]

Haha, I actually play the song every day now, thanks to you! and it didnt take five years :D Thank u so much!

[jamietrout7]

dude, you did awesome! (: but if your going to teach low life losers like myself then you need to break it down! LOL

[Clarestovold]

That's amazing, dude! But I certainly wouldn't be able to learn it from watching this video for two reasons, 1) you're playing too fast for me to see the notes you're playing clearly XD and 2) I suck at playing two-handed...

But I really do like watching you play this! :D

[Pablofilmmaker]

it's a good try but you're not playing it correctly. In the beginning you're playing with your left hand C-G-C repeatedly but it's suppoed to be C-G-E-G-E-G-C-G. You'll see it sounds alot nicer that way :)

[jakespiano]

I'm sorry, I don't really do sheet music. I just choose to "figure it out" by ear because I can, and its much easier for me...

[Camy415]

yup thats the way for me too

[Bureyeanne]

@jakespiano That is why they kicked Tori Amos out of music school.

[Camy415]

polite response good job by the way

[6mini6ulrich6]

@jakespiano hey. that guy's a dick . Your a much better pianist than I'll ever be. I admire your ability to show that you at least attempt and demonstrate that you are, in fact, human by making mistakes. Your not being a dick by saying "Look what I can do and you can't do because blah blah cock sucking blah." Kudos to you sir.

[TheRealPrizeRebel]

@jakespiano Definitely not an easy song to decifer on your own, nice job

[Telepian]

@LightningDemon alot of the sheet music is made by people that play by ear. I've seen plenty of incorrect sheet music.

@jake: where's the chorus? I only heard you play the verse.

[PunkFreak67]

@LightningDemon stfu loser. he did great.

[DeutschDonner]

@LightningDemon Shut the fuck up. You ever heard of something called improvising?? Nobody wants to hear your bitch ass complaining to someone who went out of their way to teach others something he didn't have to. Jake good job - 5/5 and subbed.

[LightningDemon]

@DeutschDonner

I guess you're one of those types of people who like things half-assed.  Well, more power to you. Glad I'm not you!

Danyael

;-Demon

[YellowDinosour]

@LightningDemon shut the fuck up! hes amazingggggg!!

[LightningDemon]

@YellowDinosour

Go away you fucking troll! I can voice my opinion all day long. This guy is mediocre at best. When he learns how to play a trill and learns the REAL piece and not a some shanty sing-a-long version then maybe I'll give him a compliment.

Until then, YOU can go fuck your mother.

Danyael

;-Demon

[YellowDinosour]

@LightningDemon hahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a i just laughed to myself. ur immature and a waste of youtube comments.. lmao. dont be trollin on ppls videos!! he doesnt have to be perfect. no1 is. but YOU sir, r fake and gay. soo cya! k thnx(:

[LightningDemon]

@YellowDinosour

After looking at your profile, I see you DO have the appropriate title... FAGGOT.

I hate fucking kids on the internet... almost as bad as niggers.

[YellowDinosour]

@LightningDemon get over it(:

[adelsaint]

@LightningDemon

it sounded pretty damn good. i havethe sheet music and cant play it tht good. 

[elementalize]

@LightningDemon Hey Lightning go suck a dick.

[LightningDemon]

@elementalize

LMAO. Just curious how long it took you think of that? Since, my original comment was posted about 6 months ago, I would have to assume it took you about 180 days. Not bad, you must be a college professor? lololol

[Darksunshinerain87]

@LightningDemon You sound like the same asshole, stifling music teacher that tells you how to do every fucking thing and criticizing everything you do that's not the "norm" Shut the fuck up! I'd like to see you do a tutorial.

[LightningDemon]

@Darksunshinerain87

I don't need to do a tutorial for slack off's like you who cannot read music!

Leave the piano alone and go back to sitting your morbidly obese ass in your worn out chair watching football and eating potato chips as your IQ slips even lower and lower and lower.....

Danyael

;-Demon

[gorillazhead]

@LightningDemon What the fuck is your problem.

Kids like this are a PRODIGY.

If you don't like the fact that a KID can play better than you can WITHOUT needing to read sheet music, go fuck yourself.

When Mozart began playing the piano as a child, he couldn't read sheet music.

This kid did an awesome job, and I think J.Y would be proud.

Don't let slack-jaws like this get you down.

My music teacher scolded me for not learning sheet music when I began playing guitar.

You have a talent...

[gorillazhead]

@Darksunshinerain87 Thank you, exactly like I said before.

This kid's talented, and some asshole scum bag can't handle the fact that a kid who doesn't read sheet music is better than they are.

[IanTheGinger96]

@LightningDemon fag

[gorillazfan3]

@LightningDemon usually music sheets out there for sale are crap. don't even sould like the song.

[goreaaron]

@LightningDemon How are you bitching to others about playing this song when you cannot even play it yourself? (there's a reason you were on this how to video jackass) Maybe instead of bitching and complaining about his method you should take your thumbs out of your ass, find your own method weather it's sheet music or "figuring it out" and shut the fuck up?

[LightningDemon]

@goreaaron

Um, it's called boredom. How about you going back to your mommys tit?

I give credit where credit is due. It is NOT due here. Looking at your page, I see you have a lot to hide as well. You're probably some fat nasty ass fucking slob who lives off of my tax dollars. See? I can make assumptions too. You're a fucking moron and I hope you get hit by a drunk driver this holiday season and die a flaming death. Thanks for playing though suck ass

[flightmaster178]

@goreaaron Can you play this song? Didn't think so.

[shanerm420]

you know how I know your gay? You asked if Cold Play was gay!! LOL! kidding! they're pretty good, and thanks for the vid!!! Worked for me!

[Vbs0wnag3]

Jones is right. However, you did an excellent job. Best cover out there. You deffinatly beat shawncheekeasy this time. Your cover is more descriptive, however not all is correct. But amazing job. 4/5

[thedippler]

dude you are the shit

[janette339]

thank you very much!!! you're a good teacher

[Toffnm]

very good teaching :) ur really good :O still, I dont think im ever gonna learn it on piano... Maybe, with five years of practise xD

[jones088]

wrong. ur inverting your ones and fives when you should be inverting your fives and threes.

[jesusRules4eva]

Very nice Job!!! Clap Clap

[lovingeveryxsecond]

it's just styx, not the styx lol. sounds cool though.

[Nemiline]

learned the song by just memorizing the hand movement

[jobeanie123]

im almost better then you =] you taught me well and no 1 believes that i learned it on youtube

[nuke5000]

wow very good on notes work on ur tempo and that trill hahaha

[jobeanie123]

i take back what i said i got the intro in less than 10 minutes =]

[jobeanie123]

10 mins rught right. 10 minates a day for your life =]

omg i just love this! i even faved it!

[thehoff1982]

i'm not being funny but i have been playing keyboard by ear since 1985 and i have fucking given up trying to copy you!!!! please dont take that as a compliment - you are a great keyboard player but you are fucking rubbish as an ionstructor!!!

[Hyminym]

lol, show it to a couple people. 14,911!!!

[jobeanie123]

17k now! its only been a month! wow!!!!

[jobeanie123]

18k

[Treeton14]

not bad at all even if it is a bit off i think and his spelling makes everything better :)

[botchi246]

the trill is wrong and its called styx. not styx

[pointychicken]

the trill's way too slow.

[jobeanie123]

who cares. at

least he tried! 5/5!

[deathfire234]

A man of contradictions, are we? I'd say so.

[bigdavid351]

this is wrong bro

[Linkinparkgurl22]

Styx, not "the Styx"

[tboy1021]

thats amazing

[Killerhurts1337]

way fast lol

[zxxkcxxz]

2:22

it just sounds more better xD grammer fails

[pivotprince]

its a really good video but why do the voice cause while hes singing there is 2 parts goin on

[mlewis940]

The Styx; it just Styx

[masondanger]

It's "Styx" not "The Styx"

[detinateddeception]

yeah, its just Styx

[hollywoodb1]

You play it too fast... but good nonetheless. Keep up the good work!

Also, you know 0:25 through 0:28 isn't played right at all...

[MarineWannaBe1992]

just Styx not The Styx

[poooopeeeerrr]

you rock out hard at 8:44

[outasight13]

SICK, nice job

[skateshuman]

wow. amazing.

[lilmizzshamrockz]
