Drowned - Tim Minchin - piano

[seetheeskimo]

Sheet music? :) I reckon I could play this but i'm not very good at learning things from looking.

[blakew1001]

At about 0:49 you change the chords a bit. Could you please tell me what you are playing in your left hand as it too hard to see?

[mikeygberman]

@blakew1001 the left hand is just playing two F#s.

[blakew1001]

@mikeygberman Sorry, I meant to say what were you playing in the right hand.

[mikeygberman]

@blakew1001 F# major chord, with the melody going F# E C#

[blakew1001]

@mikeygberman Thanks.

[mikeygberman]

@5Rawwr, I'm not sure if you'll notice this, but I've made a tutorial for You Grew On Me, and it'll be online in about an hour.

[magottyk]

you dont get it minchin is comedian and musician.. dont condemn him by doing reasonable renditions.

FFS stop do musicians have a sence of huor,

OK proceed

[erestor629]

Thanks very much, I normally play off by ear. I learnt this song ages ago, but after coming across your cover, I've added/edited mine as this helped a lot. Keep up the good work! 10/10

[DagenhamReaper]

At around 2:28, you add some kind of variation, sounds like, well, like you're repeatedly hitting A, but because both hands are so close together, I can't really see what you're doing, let alone figure out the rhythm to it.

It sounds great, however. What exactly are you doing at that point that differs from the first play through?

[mikeygberman]

Hmm, good question. It's been so long since I've played this. It looks like you're right though - my right thumb is playing A repeatedly.

[crazedforcheese]

Nice!

[WillP999]

I wish the camera was a bit higher. Sometimes its hard to catch the notes!

[MrJbfan2010]

why is the sheet music different to your playing? it sounds horrid when playing it via the sheet music. can you not change it please?

[mikeygberman]

As I've said countless times, it should be easy to translate the sheet music into what I am playing here. They are not the same, and I have never pretended they are - the sheet music is simply a starting point for working it out.

[jimmyboi1818]

you play different to your sheet music on your website!I tried playing drowned,and it sounded nothing like this,i think it needs revisiting!

[HughDaviesTheActor94]

the bare feet. nice touch.

[Laurie2733]

Very nice. Cant read sheet music, so Im learning to play it from this vid, learning it bit by bit. Thanks for the helpful camrea angle and the beautiful playing!

:D

[DietBroccoli]

@Laurie2733 : Just make yourself up some flash cards and you'll learn to read music pretty fast.

[AngelxClaudia]

Yes it is. :D Lol.

[yaluobud]

Nice work!

[busybee6363]

Ahhh, the sheet music you wrote is different! :S

[wolfhead3]

very good tim would be proud xD

[msstump]

needs the 8 beat break between the verse and chorus, it makes it tricky singing along to it without them.

[XxmazzerxX]

its much easier to play without shoes on lol otherwise you cant actually feel the pedals.. but i usually do it with socks on otherwise my feet get too cold lol

good job on this by the way :) great song :)

[ago41b]

Yeap, saw the bare feet, first thing I noticed apart from how nicely it has been played, as played my guitar lead over it, thanks it is a beauitful song as usual frm T.Minchin

[PureZOOKS]

wow, fantastic work buddy, tim would give you a pat on the back for that.

[mybestfrendsafrog]

You play brilliantly!

Tim would be proud =]

[perfecttimingNO]

LOL I wonder if anybody noticed you are copying off his barefootedness too.

[DarkMark999]

It's easier to use the foot peddles without shoes :P

[METMAN92towhoknows]

not to mention i dont know anyone who wears shoes in their house

[dcsd204]

i actually cant remember the last time i played with shoes on hahaha

[TylerTearisol]

barefootedness. what a nice word :]

[NeoJiKuriboh]

i did

[greenskyke]

amazing

[HappyGoLuckyBaby1]

please please pretty please can you make a video tutorial!!!! i am in love with this song!!

[mikeygberman]

The sheet music (on the site in the vid description) should be enough...

[bradburyboysrule]

cool song brew

[Kat6295]

There's no way you could share your magic with the world in the form of a tutorial, is there? I would love to be able to play that. I'm going to try my best to copy you through watching this video a million times, pausing, rewinding etc...but tutorials would be fantastic. :D Share your brilliance! Aw please?

[TornLoveNotes]

This song is beautiful and you're very talented.

XD

[technicolorexplosion]

Really well done...

Were the bare feet an intentional tribute?;)

[mikeygberman]

Nope, not for this video... I just hardly ever wear shoes...

But then somebody pointed it out (that's right, I didn't even notice my own video), and I started doing all the Tim Minchin vids with bare feet :)

[xTHExBIGxNACKSx]

apparently tim plays in bare feet coz it helps him relax.

[FarOutCampervanMan]

Thanks so much for all the sheet music stuff!

Totally made my day :)

ta x

[mctroyboy]

:O your a god for working out all of those charts on your site!!

[darafan]

i love this song it just shows what a great singer tim is

[erroneofmy]

Thats awesome. Cheers for the sheets. Is their a video with the singing on it aswell do you know?

[mikeygberman]

Nah, I haven't seen a vid with singing, but you can download an MP3 of Tim singing it from "Angry Feet", Tim's fan site

[erroneofmy]

Coolio. Thanks very much.

[LDeman]

[Beffan013]
