TUTORIAL Owl City - Fireflies [Piano Cover]

[ineedlulz]

If you're watching this and the last bar on the first page of his sheet music sounds wrong, it's because it is. He plays it differently in this video, rather than on the sheets [very unnoticeable however] - Then again his blog says add notes, take some out, whatever you feel.

[unrealhacker12]

Your piano sounds out of tune.

[juliess38]

Can you give me the tabs for piano please ? to juliess_38@hotmail.fr thank's =) !

[ThaPianoPlaya]

Stop complaining, go and watch another Tutorial if this one is so bad.

I also think that this isn't like a tutorial, but still, stop compaining guys.

[Asianboy30354]

[ThaPianoPlaya]

@Asianboy30354 lol what?

[Vanessababy4]

Great Work!

[starshock01]

[ToonGirlSodaPop]

[ThaPianoPlaya]

@ToonGirlSodaPop haha thank you!!

[NoRmAlGuY332]

[TheEVOVI]

[elaina555]

omg thank you so much this helped me learn this song finally! :))

[billma12345]

what the fuck is this? play it properly not all slow and shit

[ThaPianoPlaya]

@billma12345 uh maybe you should fucking read the description and shit..

[chandlerjoBL]

@ThaPianoPlaya nice

[Coswini]

your really a dumb shit arent you.

[STARxRAWR]

@Coswini or maybe you are just jalous, that you cannot play piano like him and that you cannot afford one :)

[ThaPianoPlaya]

@Coswini "Your" is possessive. If you want to say "you are" then it's "you're." Also, if you're asking a question, you should end the question with a question mark not a period. So yes, I'm the so called "dumb shit."

[kylecrunkkk]

@ThaPianoPlaya You sir, are amazing.

[ThaPianoPlaya]

@kylecrunkkk why thank you!!

[Normanderpianozocker]

@billma12345

[DJJOHN92]

@billma12345 You might be one of the stupidest people of all time. It's a TUTORIAL - you don't powerplay a tutorial, do you?

Thanks for the great tutorial, btw.

[1lxXxXwolfXxXxl1]

[pianodream100]

[rboss0]

[OHWISEONE1996]

@ohArtin But it doesn't even teach you all of the PART of the song it's supposed to be teaching! It's like setting out to teach someone the alphabet and teaching them A and P and W and Y

[n4mmdt]

@OHWISEONE1996

if you were patient enough, he'd get to it! And im guessing you meant the chorus?

[BigPineau]

@OHWISEONE1996 ahh just be glad he did that tutorial even if there's a part missing and shut up

[laury150]

Omg, a lot of stupid ppl here... It's a freakin' tutorial idiots, and a good one!!

thx for the vid mate. 5/5

[carlorowan]

lol fail, stopped watching after 2 seconds

[rossi213]

well you stopped watching too early. he was just showing the right hand at that point, so fail to you, sir.

[MrPhopoTheBest]

You have to tune your piano! :P

[Voltjk]

2:32 awesome.

[OHWISEONE1996]

OMG that sounded NOTHING like fireflies

[itsamswang]

this is just the basics, it says on his blog that it's not going to sound exactly like the song. change it however you think sounds it right to you, its no big deal

[OHWISEONE1996]

@itsamswang yeah except you really can't change it that much when you are coming to this vid to learn how to play it.... because... you don't know how to play it....

[itsamswang]

@OHWISEONE1996 well, after you learn it of course. haha

[Zember500]

[DarthLamchop2]

Haha, this is about the speed I normally play at.

[Jessaquina]

[ThaPianoPlaya]

[Inuyasha662]

Your welcome ^^

[Christina918273645]

LOL I have two pianos and both of them suck. I need to buy a new one or a really big keyboard because i used a lot of space on them.

[burtonH0123]

YOU NEED TO TUNE YOUR PIANO

[PaddMan3]

its honky tonk bellend

[remonneke100]

you play it to fast we cant learn this song now noob!!!!!

[oreobubba]

noobs are people who are inexperienced, if he can play fast that means he's experienced therefore hes not a noob, silly (: (: ahah

[lightshine32]

Thanks so much for putting this up! Because I'm only RCM level 3, this really helps a lot. :D

[Gerodyp]

TY SO MUCH!!

now i could play this whole song!!

[24u2c]

hey. I liked your video... It distacted from cooking spegetti. Love it

[hwud1]

I dont understand why did you disable the ratings?... you could have got 5/5 from everyone !!

[ThaPianoPlaya]

@hwud1 Thanks! Ya I initially had the ratings enabled, but then people came to my video thinking it was a regular cover and not a tutorial (despite the "TUTORIAL" in the title) so they'd say stuff like "oh you suck" and "my dog can play better" and give it a one star rating

[lightshine32]

That's horrible! D:

[badbeat1940]

woah that piano is sooo out of tune dude

[xEmmaaah159]

thank you so much, this helped a lot. :D

[Nightmar3PL]

Thx for the trutorial :D 5/5

[Ashleykins2001]

howcome it's rateing disbled i think the comments should be desbled because all of the rude comments and rateing really dosn't matter

[VanillaLips]

BRILLIANT! Thank you. Wonderful tutorial format.

[ThaPianoPlaya]

@VanillaLips Thanks :D

[BocadillosYum]

Wow. You play like anybody watching this cant play piano at all o.o

[Ashleykins2001]

it didn't work perfectly on my piano but mine is only a discovery kids one so i think it's not really suppost to play actual people's songs. (that sucks, not this song, that my piano can't play big songs)

[LoveMusicndMarishell]

slowly learning!!! thanx....it helped alot

[stillcrayzi]

if i could rate it, i would give it five stars =] thanks sooo much for posting!

[miranda7677]

i have a ?. is this the FULL tutorial. like begining to end? because i have looked at alot of other tutorials and the want me to buy the rest of it.

[ajokunu]

sorry the real sheet music is much better its an ok tutorial at best

[frediscoolist]

0:54

[icefirecrazy]

erm.. it kind of sounds nothing like the actual song. for the first part till 0.54

[m173627]

@icefirecrazy

The actual song is computer generated. This is a piano.

Sure, maybe he takes a bit of creativity to the intro, but it's pretty well done from what I hear,

[AnythingAndy]

Is it just me or does your piano need tuning lol?

[iBritard]

Lol... it doesn't mind me that much. But that's with me having pianos that haven't been tuned in forever. YAY KEYBOARDS XD

[TheRosemarin]

thank you sooow much

[xXchristine666Xx]

I love you. Marry me. You helped me through my down time (one time only. XD).

[ThaPianoPlaya]

@xXchristine666Xx marriage? hahaha so forward

[iLLstrumentals]

dude fuck that hatas this is the best tut out there

[xjessieblueloverx]

GOSH U RETARDED HATERS

DID U EVEN READ THE TITLE OF THIS VID??

IT SAYS IN CAPS-TUTORIAL

LEARN HOW TO READ BEFORE YOU START PUTTING HATE COMMENTS OF OTHER PEOPLES VIDS

anywayz

it was really good xD thx

[ThaPianoPlaya]

@xjessieblueloverx :)

[jkiwi418]

I don't know about you guys, but he did great (: sometimes naming the notes can comfuse amateurs and stuff, so its better to just break it down note by note like he did. Great job <3

[DiLLiGaFLmFaO]

sorry if this offends you im not being mean but, some people might just be starting to learn piano,like me and it is very confusing when its has no note names which i find very helpful when playing so again no offense but i think i speak for alot of people when i say its confusing. i love the song and thapianoplaya has real talent but it doesnt mean we hate him when we post comments asking to slow down or something and if he is doing a tutorial he might need to do these things ( not being mean)

[DiLLiGaFLmFaO]

im just beginning and its helping me but its really confusing hey! no offense youre a really REALLY good piano player but could you please tell us the notes and slow it down or something that would be really helpful :) thankyou and again no offense coz youre a real good player

[NickjaBoysInc]

THANK YOU

[jhenilah]

im now using your video in learning how to play Fireflies on our keyboard...hoping htat i wouldn't be bored :)) ...btw....thanks for having a tutorial like this....i think the only thing that your video needs is to tell the note that you are playing....it may help alot next time u make another tutorial :))

[LettersToSanta]

Yeey you gave me hope on playing this right! Thank you =^_^=

[reeboo19]

ok uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm
