Good Riddance (Time of your life) by Greenday Piano Tutorial

[LancsDoogled]

I have never been able to play anything but have managed to learn this in just a few days. I need to get my timing right yet and learn to fit the words in but I'm happy with my progress so far - thanks :)

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@LancsDoogled Good to hear. Good luck with it and once you get it you should record your self and show us.

[bhrgvsridhar]

good song... sounds good on piano

[traizor99]

some one make a video response i want to see how good they did

[tadhgocaoimh2]

Brilliant video, helped loads. Any tips on how to finish it off nicely like the accoustic version? Thanks

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@tadhgocaoimh2 I usually finish off the song rolling the g chord, from G D G D. So after playing through 3 times, you come back to the first section, you play that 3 times, then at the end of the forth time through playing the G chord, slow down, then role the 4 notes from low to high.

[InsomniacOfSuburbia]

I watched this video for the first time a few days ago, and then I went away and tried to learn it. It took me just a few hours to get it perfect, and for a song that sounds so good, it is actually very easy :)

Thank you so much DreAdeDcoRpSE; this is the best tutorial on youtube. XD.

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@InsomniacOfSuburbia thanks, glad you you liked it.

[InsomniacOfSuburbia]

Wow. This is really what I was looking for. I couldn't seem to find any piano tutorials of this song that didn't include the melody (vocals), but your's is just perfect. Thank you so much; It really helped me :)

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@InsomniacOfSuburbia When I make these, I try keeping to what you would hear playing, not the vocals. When I hear people play the songs and add in the vocals with the instrument, to me that kills the song. But that's just my own opinion.

[ccomg90]

you are so AMAZEING!!

[friedbiscuitsx0x]

I'm horrible at playing the piano, but i can play this one song thanks to your video. It was really claritive and easy to follow. :)

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@friedbiscuitsx0x Glad to hear it helped you. I try to make it as easy to follow, not like some of them that just show them playing it.

[juggler1928]

omg i have that keyboard haha

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@juggler1928 Yeah, that's my old keyboard. but I still use it time to time.

[jwestlake45]

@DreAdeDcoRpSE I have the same keyboard too!!

[IdahoHansson]

You're great!! I love this song!! Thanks :)

[sunnleyg]

@DreAdeDcoRpSE can you write all the chords down somewhere? Good job anyway :)

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@NomNomZ1996 Practice. I am one that will practice about a hour or 2 each day. Over many years, you get better. I been messing with piano for a long time after I stopped playing the other instruments I played. I also have a natural talent to remember music when I see and hear it played and also hear a song and be able to figure it out. I know my self I could be better eventually, but I have a while before I get to that point. i just need to keep pushing my self and start playing harder stuff.

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@NomNomZ1996

That I do. Which works out great when restoring cars, or typing code for website, or playing any of the other instruments I play, but playing the piano its a bit harder, but I have to say I see some of those hands that have the really long fingers and I honestly have to say some times they look like alien hands and I am just happy I can do this with my smaller hands.

[gluffy123]

nice!



[ThePerfectTactics]

I really loved this video, and I learned how to play the chords just the way you showed from this! I'm very proud of what I've been able to accomplish thanks to you, and I've gotten a lot of compliments on how I play... THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@ThePerfectTactics

No problem. I will be looking at putting up a few others once I can get a new and better camera. I just been on a kick listening to 80's music and learning to play them lately.

[MrAwesomepianoplayer]

i like the tutorial lol we have the same keyboard

[sweetleah98]

I can do all thw chords but e :S u play it to fast

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@sweetleah98

I actually played this slower then the original song. I usually site down and start listening to songs and while they are playing, i play along with them.

[jennakinz1]

9 people can't play the song -_- great job :D I love it

[BrighterUnion]

I'd like to say thank you VERY much for this tutorial, I'm learning piano from youtube tutorials right now since I don't have any new sheet music and this has been very helpful. Thanks again (: this was very helpful

[magtees]

I saw that tatoo on your arm that looked cool! :D wait that was a tatoo right? ll anyway nice tutorial!

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@magtees

Yes, I have multiple tattoo's on my arms. I used to design tattoo's for a living when I was younger and to remember certain things life family, or things that effected me allot, I design tattoos that I only have and no-one else to be tributes to those memories, except the one on my right forearm, where that one is one of 2 tattoo's. One of my friends from when I was a kid got the same tattoo on her back to commemorate our friendship along with our Irish family histories.

[divoojilly]

WOW!!!!

Thanx thanx thanx a lot!

[Edraelwen]

I love it !! I play piano too... I want to play this and others musics of Green Day... But I don't find the partition... (sorry for the mistakes, I'm french...) Can you help me... ? O.o

[mongooable]

amazing :D it surprised me that I learned the whole song in just few minutes! Thank You so much! it means alot to me : ) i'm a huge fan of GreenDay <3

[adrilovesgreenday]

thank you so much for this bud

[Mshellstruck]

ur aweesome!! :)

thankss..!!

[SuperKattt99]

Do you have the sheet music for this? I have a different version and it's much more difficult...

[webbkie]

gimp

[um12345678910]

@human8r336... WTF! he/she was asking if they could trade it into a different file! jeez... calm down. you should think before u type!

[lucario77]

Hey, i have a question. Could you simplify this into a .TXT File, where i could look at my Laptop, and then play it? I think it would be a lot easier than just watching the video and doing what you are saying. Thanks!~

For example:

Whole note = 4

Half note = 2

Quarter note = 1

Dotted Quarter Note = 1*

And you just put the placement of the notes next to the notes themselves. Example: A#2 (A Sharp, Half note), Bv4 (B Minor, Whole note), C8 (C, Eighth Note)

I would highly appreciate it!

[lucario77]

@lucario77 I will then translate the code into sheet music! If you want, i can upload it onto a website, and give you the link, and you can put it here.

[fsufan111]

damn you suck at tutorials

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@fsufan111 It's funny you say that for you just sound like an idiot, since i have many others saying they like my tutorials, so I guess overall, your a child that just likes to be an idiot.

[webbkie]

@DreAdeDcoRpSE mabye your just bad at tutorials as well as comebacks?

[human8r336]

@fsufan111 i very much like his tutorials and he's very good at piano so shut up and think before you type

[TheBobinator122]

@fsufan111 is an American Idiot

[Diffenvideos]

Hey man thanks for this video. I love piano and i love this song and it was great to figure out how to play it. Altogether it was extremely helpful. Have you figured out any Coldplay songs?

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@Diffenvideos yes, I learned clocks for my niece, that's her favorite song.I am sure I can learn others.

[SweetMuzica]

@DreAdeDcoRpSE Viva la Vida is REALLY easy. Like. It took me 5 minutes to learn the entire song.

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@Diffenvideos I know a couple, but me not having a camera ATM, I can't do any more recordings.

[livewithoutwarningx]

i couldn't be bothered to watch the rest, you confused me with all your talking, sorry.

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@livewithoutwarningx Too each there own, majority of people rather have it the way i do it and a few like it your way, I will gear it towards the majority.

[violet1197]

do u have weighted keyes?

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@violet1197 No I do not, I do at my fathers house, but I am never there visiting except once a year. To far to drive for a weekend deal.

[goldfishcrackers1]

You made this really easy. Thanks :)

[MB20GreenDayLuver]

[05Chaders]

Really well done, been trying to work out a good chord progression for a while. Don't be nervous on camera cos you sound a little a times, you play well.

[DOMIN8R8590]

I love the song. Do you have printable sheet music for it?

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

@DOMIN8R8590

No I don't. sorry, but you should be able to find it online.

[DOMIN8R8590]

[Brainwave000]

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

Hit the functions key on the right of the screen, once you get to main volume, then next one should be octave, just drop it to -1.

[Brainwave000]

thanks

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

[DartTarget]

love the tut u did a good job bro.

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

thanks

[0o0GreenDay0o0]

wow, it took you 1:02 before you started to play

[jedioffunk]

just be a little patient dude =D

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

sorry if you dont like that, but I do that for a reason, if you dont like it then you can go somewhere else, I didn't force you to watch that WHOLE min.

[0o0GreenDay0o0]

whoa! im not mad or anything. holy crap

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

neither am I, but I seem to get replies like this quite often. On the game servers we own, we have that motto, "You don't like it, then leave, we are not forcing you to stay.". I just applied it to you cause you gave a snotty remark a 5 year old would give and a negative reputation. How do you think I should take it?

[Warcheif212]

i agree that he shouldn't have been so impatient and he said that he was sorry, besides, he was probably having a shitty day, we all do

[ClaraKavanagh]

can you play 21 guns?

[NikorasuLee]

Lol That's the piano my old school teacher had XD

[Onbekend1980]

keyboard

[ilovetysonritter09]

hey can you give me the sheet? i really love this song! please please please

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

I don't have any sheet music. I cant read piano sheet music. I play by ear.

[Happy2bkelsey]

Can you do a tutorial for Viva La Gloria! by Greenday?

This one was great, and I've been dying to learn that song :)

[DreAdeDcoRpSE]

I dont know that song, I will have to listen to it to figure it out, I will look into it.

[livewithoutwarningx]

@Happy2bkelsey i've done a tutorial for that, it's pretty easy to learn with my tutorial :) x

[angiekrebs]

@Happy2bkelsey haha same here!

You are a really good teacher. What keyboard do you use?
