Same chords different songs on piano

[RodgieTvTube]

what chords are those? can somebody tell me please?

[FrankieHeat]

Can you all read? The description clearly says it's inspired by Axis of Awesome! Plus he added other songs.

[weensie562]

Stolen from axis of awesome

[SuperHhmmm]

i thought the first song was dont stop believin



[codxvoltage]

@johnspunk yup he is a stealin homo go burn in helllllllllll

[christopherjc]

good strong voice...nice work

[purpleboo321]

hey he looks like bob harper from the biggest loser lol grea tjob!

[KurogetsuOokami]

Many of these were covered by Axis of Awesome. Good job, though.

[49littlemisssunshine]

@llCoccodrillo91 well I'm 12 and iv only got a very small keyboard from my grandma when my dad was little so I think I'll find it a bit harder than you -:(

[49littlemisssunshine]

Aww people who say your a bad piano player probaly can't even play the triangle :) your really good and I hope to be that good when I'm older :D

[IlCoccodrillo91]

@49littlemisssunshine I'm sorry, but... you really don't need to be a pro to play these 4 chords and the rhythm... I play piano for 10 years now and started to play this right at the time it was published... I love the Axis of Awesome :)

[johnspunk]

why not give credits to axis of awesome whom you stole this from?

[Newto77721]

@johnspunk It says it in the discription dickhead..

[StainzToXin]

@johnspunk just because hes doing a rendition of it dosent mean he stole it... and im sure axis of awesome wasent even the first person to think about this :P

[kcired23]

@StainzToXin yes actually they were ... "vinny" from the band actually studied pop songs and realised they all seemed to sound the same and eventually he figured out the 4 chord thing

[kcired23]

@johnspunk not stolen

[umairrrr]

axis of awesome did it first

[willlpy]

@umairrrr actually the axis of awesome didnt do it first. technically benny davis did it first. the axis of awesome formed after benny put this song together.

[devilishlymel100]

if u know cadences it is:

I V i IV I

I to V is imperfect, V to i is perfect, i to IV is i forgot... and IV to I is plagal.

[devilishlymel100]

@devilishlymel100

and i say that it ends on I because it should end on the tonic note.

[Bieberfevern]

Du är svenska, va? Jag diggar din röst, den är super! :D

[robbersteve]

Did you seriously try to put Yesterday in there?? Yesterday is G F#m B7 Em D C D G D Em A7 C G.

[MrRedemption1]

hes a bad piano player

[jjjlllmmmyyy]

[amyau123]

[wibbers18]

It is from Journey, Dont Stop Believing

[izzysymes1]

Cool but i actaully thought of journeys "dont stop believing" xx

[kwynn97]

very cool

[brook316]

@kyaaa015 It's called "Don't stop believing" and every song he "sings" in this video, all sound like that....

[OMGyourPOOPING]

JUST WATCH AXIS OF AWESOME.

this dude and his gay shirt suck.

[MerelSvj]

Super cool! I love what you're doing allthough you look a little bit scary.

[EpicDriver97]

Ya no axis of awesome is better

[searsda12]

OH OH OH it's James blunt! lol

[JonaBoy16]

Why is the video mirrored? The high notes are on his left hand, but the guitars in the background seem to be completely normal :S i'm a little confused

[Qwerds95]

@JonaBoy16 maybe they're left-handed guitars and it's mirrored, or he likes playing a reverse-scale piano

[NiklasNe]

@JonaBoy16 didnt noticed that but it quite scary O.o

[musicman383]

cant belive you didnt sing dont stop beliving by journey ,thats all i could hear all the way throu ,good thou well taken on board thanks

[thumbsuckerjoe]

You look like a less muscular version of Thad from Blue Mountain State

[cameronhjh]

[EvilGniusStudios]

[AKidWithADream]

You have an entertaining and friendly face mate, you would be great on a children's show. Was a really good performance. Best wishes.

[Lax4Love]

[JonteyGaming]

OMG WHY !? WANNABE AXIS OF AWESOME

[ahlbergsbilar]

AXIS OF AWESOME IS AWESOME YOU ARE NOT!

[omglovethisvideo]

@gunnyvdike i know they are professional (that is how you spell professional by the way) but even though they are  professional, they are not that good of singers, they are just really good performers and make it look fun

[collapse7frame4]

Song At 0:50 ? PLEASE ?!

[Bandgeek350]

I didn't know "Yesterday" fell into the 4 Chords Whatnot.

[leedude101]

you have a very good voice

[Patchworkdrum]

He said in the description that he got the idea from Axis of Awesome and Pachelbel Rant. He didn't rip off anything or make anything worse. He did A COVER. That means he did his own version. It actually sounds good.

[andyandnick]

U basically ripped off of Axis of Awesome...except u ruined the song

[omglovethisvideo]

AXIS OF AWESOME=WAY BETTER

[gunnyvdike]

@omglovethisvideo AXIS OF AWESOME=PERFESHIONALS=DUH

[qwentin355]

[LOLOptimusPrime]

Just a small town girl...

Livin' in a lonely world...

[thamankay2014]

i think you could play dont stop believing also.

[happygleason]

cool...thanks..where are you?

[regmanzer]

Thats HILARIOUS! I knew alot of songs used it but I didn't realize just how many, however some were kind of a stretch to make them fit the pattern, but yeah really quite interesting :P

[dlgjr1]

@regmanzer watch the axis of awesome videos and they touch on a lot of them too

[taylord135]

i didnt think keyboards could be switced to be played lefty... thats cool.

[jdprsaga]

@taylord135 I guess i'ts not lefty, the camera is just mirrored

[mouchel1995]

Left handed Piano??

[S4Diantz]

It's awsome, but you should have written the noes to the discription, cuz I tried to understand what notes did you play, but I didn't get it. Good job!

[joey348]

the songs were slow, the chords need to be sped up, and for all of you that say he did a good job putting this together, he got it from a group called axis of awsome. check them out if you like this

[johnland82]

@joey348 To his credit, he at least used some songs they didn't :P. But yeah, the Axis of Awesome one is quite entertaining (make sure to watch a live one, don't just listen to the studio version).

[dlgjr1]

@johnland82 yea some of the live ones have different songs incorporated into them

[BipolarPuffin]

Nice shirt

[paaohv]

I love yours piano song, you have a beautiful voice.. I love it !!!

[paaohv]

I love your pinano songs !!! Are beautifuls..

[tibbeisvet]

fake

the chords are wrong

you say e

but you play f

[jmorellini]

@tibbeisvet thats what i thought but his got the camera mirrored so watch the left hand which is actually his right hand

[krille9412]

@tibbeisvet it's not fake u fucking dipshit... 

[Lyndybop]

Just out of interest, was this made before or after the axis of awesome one......i couldnt help noticing that most of the songs were the same.......just putting it out there....

[Jop243]

It's a little bit weird how the video is in mirror-view... I've been getting a headache watching the guitar in the back and the playing of the hands while listening :P

[xoxAshh137]

You look like niel patrick harris!

[scottgreco]

you just changed the melodies on half of them...

[cameronhjh]

Axis Of Awesome , look it up :)

[ThatCrazyGirl65]

amazing singer aswell ;)xx

[keybslasher88]

For the record, Cryin' by Aerosmith is Pachelbel's Canon progression... First 3 chords are the same, but it changes from there...

[yourmumisfat00]

If Neil Patrick Harris and Jim Carrey had a baby it would be him

[blabla12331]

@yourmumisfat00 haha soo true :D

[FishSticksFile]

@yourmumisfat00

Hahahah so true

[witzbold91]

@yourmumisfat00 so right :D

but I have to admit, he's really good!

[t6aeyang]

@yourmumisfat00 and if one of them cheated on each other with lance armstrong

[rubinalaie]

[stefansson11]

[stefansson11]

@vanruthf E/Bflat/Csharp,minor/A



[kandokid1990]

can you give me the notes u stated, and/or somehow chart them for me

[amanduhinsanity]

awesome job, you actually did a good job singing them unlike some people,,,,

[DbeastproductionsC]

this is sick

[Avoncarstien]

Um, is it just me or are the high notes on his piano on our right/his left... and the low notes one our left/his right... is it just me or does that seem backwards?

[marw00t]

one of few covers i could find, great job! and thanks!

[NikolaiDeJesus]

You lied about the chords you used... you didnt use E B C# A, more likely you used F F/Bb F/Eb G/Eb... dont post something you just copied from someone else and lying about the chords you used

[hoangty]

@NikolaiDeJesus his camera is mirrored i just noticed it his right hand is actually his left hand

[kozmosnotgay]

i cant belive u didnt play dont stop beliving! tht was the first song i thought of!

[KevinKapinos]

@kozmosnotgay me, too!

[InspecterDeck]

good job dude

[JustMe624]

it looks like it is an inverted left-to-right recorded movie... else he is playing something different then he says he is doing :P

[Barnesymayte]

Ur a nob ... u copied of axis of awesome. who created this song progression//// no skill in copying a vid :(

[techskater107]

@Barnesymayte mate, first, learn some better insults then ''nob''

Second, axis of awsome didnt create the progression, it was out there befpre they where born, third, its called a fucking COVER. not a copy.

[mizulitaki]

is the video in mirror? I tried to copycat u bt it just doesnt sound right...

[VivyLeigh2011]

can u put up a tutorial?

[thehammercam]

the group called "axis of awesome" did this 1st  axis of awesome live Footy Show - youtube.com/watch?v=QpB_40hYjX­U

axis of awesome live at the 2009 Melbourne International Comedy Festival- youtube.com/watch?v=5pidokakU4­I&feature=related

[eoforidanso]

there's no way u are playing E B Cshp and A.... ..its either u transposing or something ... those keys u played are not as u started....coz i could see u played C F Dshp and G.. if u doubt this just pause the video n look .......

[eoforidanso]

there's no way u are playing E B Cshp and A.... ..its either u transposing or something ... those keys u played are not as u started....coz i could see u played C F Dshp and G.. if u doubt this just pause the video n look .......

[timniens]

PEOPLE!!!!

If you learn the intro of Journey - Don't Stop Believing (great song), you can play all of these songs. It's exactly the same :P

[360player0000]

those are not the chords for Apologize

[timniens]

@360player0000 No ofcourse not!!!! These songs are transposed to the same tone.

Otherwise it doesn't sound

[shallom777]

Great job, but like others have mentioned your keyboard is backwards so it's very hard to make out the keys your playing. Here is what I figured out. I believe this is called the I-V-vi-IV progression.

First chord - E Major (I chord) - LH (E-E) RH (B-E-B)

Second chord - B Major (V chord) - LH (B-B) RH (B-F#-B)

Third chord - C# minor (vi chord) - LH (C#-C#) RH (B-E-B)

Fourth chord - A Major - (iv chord) LH (A-A) RH (A-C#-A)

Hope this helps all of you non dyslexics out there.

[66webber66]

@shallom777 Dude, he said what chords he plays, how the hell can people have problems with figuring it out then? o.O lol

[witzbold91]

@66webber66 Because he just says "We're gonna start with an E" but you don't know what notes (keys) to play exactly and it's not that visible from what he is playing there. So it isn't that easy to figure out the chords.

I wish there was a tutorial for exactly these chords, all tutorials I found were with a 4-chord-melody nearly no song is fitting to^^

[66webber66]

@witzbold91 The reason the E - B - C#m - A doesn't work on most of the songs (original versions) is because he (actually he didn't completely, but The Axis Of Awesome, who came up with this, did) transposed them all so that he/they could play them all in one key. What he plays is completely visible in the video, you just have to look little closely :p But don't play this, play the AOA version, it's what he ripped this off, and ruined it. :p

[witzbold91]

@66webber66 Well, I don't think he ruined it. He just reinterpreted it :D Plus, where do I find any tutorial dealing with the real chords used by AOA?

[66webber66]

@witzbold91 AOA used the chords E - A - C#m - G. SOme of the songs go C#m - G - E - A, but if you start off on the E, like they do, and just keep playing that loop, it'll work out. The original chords for the original songs all vary, they just transposed them to the same key to make it fit. They use the same system, just a different key :p

[witzbold91]

@66webber66 Thank you! The thing I always wonder about is what are the keys I have to play during the single note. For example AOA doesn't just play E - A - C#m (is it C minor?) - G but presses many keys simultaniously, a chord so to speak.

I mean, I can play E - A - C#m and G but it doesn't sound elaborated :)

[66webber66]

@witzbold91 First of all, C#m is C-sharp minor :p

Chords:

E = E G# (G sharp) B

B = B D# F#

C#m = C# E G#

A = A C# E

(There are various ways of playing them, but this is the basic. For instance, you could have the B in the E-chord as the bottom note instead of the top, or both for that matter... but if you're a beginner, the basic chords are the easiest :)

With the left hand you just play octaves of E B C# and A.

I'm sorry, I told you the wrong chords; it's E - B - C#m and A, not G (I'm tired xD)

[witzbold91]

@66webber66 Wow, that's much better :) Thanks, I'm gonna have a try tomorrow, I'm tired aswell ;)

[66webber66]

@witzbold91 Cool :) no problem, glad I could help :p

[Thor962]

@shallom77 the A ma shouldj be a IV since its major.

[xxGrey]

Awww. You look so happy while you're playing ^_^

[soberting12]

is that a dislexic keyboard?

[Gavanization]

Axis of awesome

[robindegoblin]

haha you didnt take the high note which is sang in take me on - ah ha

[cjacki32]

so whats the chord and where do your fingers go i'm so lose?

[kollose]

cmon man you put this up so you can show everyone how you sing!!

you must be bored!! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz NOTHIN OUT OF THE ORDINARY!!

[MIXMASHUP]

this asshole put a mirror effect of this video..

[Rated5Starz]

@MIXMASHUP lolz thanks dude i could not figure this shit out , wow fucking mirror effect

[corrusgirl]

Wow, this is brilliant!! Can you please please post a tutorial showing a clear view of your fingers?? The angle is really confusing. PLEASE!!

[JuliaTheFirst]

damn i was so confused cos you filmed it with a mirror or something. you have the base in the right hand, which confuses me a LOT.

dude, you look exactly like my maths teacher of 11th grade. haha. makes it even more confusing. but good job so far!

[OpakeArawra2]

there's this thing. it's called a metronome. i'm sure there's one on your fancy schmancy keyboard maybe you should give it a go sometime?

[Saeniac]

axis of awsome cover :/

[LittlewingKD]

Am I imagining this or is the keyboard backwards at the end, like a mirror image, it's very confusing. it's as if he's turned around ...the high keys start off on his right hand and then move to his left?

[SamMcChesney]

@LittlewingKD You are not imagining this. I just got very confused when I looked at his hands playing different chords to what he said they were. He's flipped the image! It's as though he is playing it upside down. It had me very worried. I wonder why he did that???

[nigahigz]

We're not gonna take it? Yesterday? Probably others that don't fit that progression but I don't know them.

[lordaaronturner]

Nice, thanks bro, u da man

[DannyLaam]

Grymt bra! :)

[123456789lookbehind]

copied of axis of awesome!!! lmao

[technoholic562]

lol i tought i was crazy cuz the high notes are on the left side and the low ones on the right but his cam shows the screen backwards

[josephlushao33]

Wats the chords on the Left hand

[nikhsam]

wow that was awesome!! This is why I tend to stay away from pop its so repititve!! You are a really good singer with such a unique voice! If you get a chance please check out my songs and let me know what you think!

[peebee2701]

Why are the low notes being played by your right hand?? Did you record this in a mirror? I am confused. Please tell me what's happening here.

[l0ll1p0ps0ph14]

i know you said the chords before playing, but i was just wondering what they actually mean in a sense of where to place your fingers/ both hands?

[kevinubaldoherrera]

in this case its

E B C#m A

Could also be:

C G Am F

D A Bm G

Eb Bb C Ab

it all depends on what key and pitch you want to play it at..

sorry if that makes no sense, i'm pretty novice at piano

[IFmusicIF]

the chords are D, A, Bm & E.

[Jowan2008]

Umm What about Don't Stop Believing!?!?!?!

[piano99999]

what are the four chords? I keep getting different answers from different videos

[georgegm]

Who had this idea? You or Axis of Awesome? /watch?v=5pidokakU4I

[I3bIScottyD]

Do you think you could post up a mini Tutorial of these 4 Chords? that would be awesome! im having a hard time finding the right ones.

[S94CIEG01]

wow! Dude your awesome! Even Poker face!!! Like, 5 stars, knight-ship etc. :D

[YakuDubber]

i love it ^^

[Adriaantje2008]

"Yesterday" doesn't have those chords

[ExplodingBacon]

I was so confused watching your fingering until I realized you were playing into a mirror.

[johboy2418]

IMPRESSIVE~

=)

[prsnali]

Dude, if you pause it and try to get the chords in the beginning, the look on his face is fu&*ing creepy.

The chords don't match up with reality because he plays Fa do fa do do and calls it e. he must have changed the octave with the electric settings. sickening really.

winner for creepiest youtube video ever

[hautenarcissism]

@prsnali lol oh, you.

[Leonardony123]

Uhm... is it just me or... are the high notes actually on the right side of the piano?!

[ExplodingBacon]

@Leonardony123  He's playing into a mirror.

[darkknight4686]

@Leonardony123 I noticed that too. His webcam is reversed (mirrored). I'm not sure why but this happens via some webcams. Keen eye and good catch :)

[gabrisilessi]

Hehe! You are having sooo much fun there! Great vid! :))

[NiickBomb]

Grymt spelat. :)

[zakc1212]

great great great great job. i loved it. i was wondering if i can get the names of those songs. i just stated piano and have been looking for some fun songs. thaks.
