How to play Konstantine by Something Corporate on the Piano

[NBGDaniL]

PART 2 PLEASE!

[wwfera00]

where's part 2? the bridge and solo please?

[MyMuffinsOwnYours]

i can't do it! )': waaaahhhhhh

[drunkbutsober18]

I've been wanting to learn this song for years. Between the choppy sheet music I have, the random cover I've been watching, and your tutorial, I think I have it down. Thank you so much for the time you took to make this video, and share it with us.

[ajmisae]

I've seen variations of this song; anyone really know how Something Corporate plays it? This is great; taught me the basis, but sometimes in the song it changes, and I'd like to know it exactly :/

[caarleyyy]

can anyone break down the right hand? that pattern is so hard to keep track of.

[jrdwiz]

@caarleyyy using the same fingers as the video the right hand should go like this.

13133 13133 12122 12133

13133 13133 13133 13121

13133 13133 12122 12133

12133 12133 12133 13121

[caarleyyy]

@jrdwiz perfect, thanks!

[cinnatize]

great tutorial! thank you, love this song :)

[lilmsdrummer]

I have always wanted to play this song, but thought it sounded way more difficult. You play it perfectly! Best tutorial on piano, I've ever seen. Thank you!

[peacheKILLIN90]

thanks for the tutorial ive never touched a piano till i moved in to my new house which had one just siting here...thought this song would be hard but it wasnt too bad.... great job!

[Rawrrrx19]

To anyone talking about sheet music, you can buy the whole 19 page book at Jack's Mannequin's website for $10. A song this amazing deserves to be paid for, not illegally downloaded.

[bassplayer5466]

Nice job on the video, its not completely accurate but its still helpful. Honestly, I don't mean to offend you, but I would not buy your Instructional material after watching this particular video.

[hazelmystery]

0:48 hahaha "yeah anyway"

[rocketny33]

If you're having trouble with the timing (as I was), try thinking of it like this when you play (where L and R stand for single notes played by the left or right hand):

1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2

L-R-R L-R-R L-R L-R-R L-R-R L-R

[sharley37]

Could you pul the rest of the song up?

[SmellsLikeBia]

dont you have the song played by you? a piano cover

[hmmleah1]

its really hard playing hands together, without sheet music..

how am i suppose to have this ready in a week.. :/

[missjola1]

hello ! i really like your piano art ! :) i got one wonderfull song in my mind all the time, i wish to learn how to play it but i cannot find anywhere how :( i just would like to ask could you try to learn to all of us this song - Childs Garden Part 3 -Jaydynn Sierra Evonne (Dax Johnson) . thank you anyway :)

[meizbeasty]

k i kinda got the basics out of this.

at first i was mad confused. haha.

thanks for doing this :D i just have

to spice it up now.

[vickymartins]

thank you sooooo much! (:

[zmacification]

Does anyone know where I can find the refrain for this?

[5620303379]

you are not even playing nothing so why i bother watching your video

[PoKeGuRu217]

@5620303379 you are not even sense make so i correctt tell u why i bother responding

[jimbeam8623]

Dude...THANK YOU! I have been a singer my entire life but could never get the hang of an instrument for whatever reason...but I came across this tutorial bc if I could play one song on piano it would be konstantine. and you broke it down so well..I can freakin do it, thank you so much youve just opened a door to a whole new world for me. PLEASE do cavanaugh park and/or globes and maps by soco and the rest of konstantine pleaseee...or if you put that on dvd I promise to buy it!..THANKS AGAIN

[thenerdette]

I find it really hard to keep the left hand going at the right tempo and the right hand going at the right tempo!

[Tweetmylife]

watching this made me realize how amazing Andrew MacMahon really is.

[cherize90210]

this is amazing

[skyline44512]

Estimated time to learn 1 hour? For who Helen Keller? I really appreciated this tutorial it's great but takes about 5 minutes. I couldn't find the sheet music so this seemed the best way to go.

[WeaselSpanzor]

@skyline44512 It obviously takes more than five minutes to learn assuming you watched all 6 minutes and 48 seconds of the video :P

[rockstar93093]

@skyline44512 for noobs.

btw u know helen keller had a tree house?

no?

neither did she

[Blixxify]

I love you.

[jellybeansorange]

i have been looking for a good tutorial for this song for a long time !

it's my favorite song and i've always wanted to play it.

thanks so much ! :)

[vidgurl123]

This is a suuuper good tutorial! :) yay!

[ziicus]

most awesome tutorial you have done yet. Since I was always of the opinion that this is one of the best song ever!

[austinpetemo]

thanks, because of you, i can now play an awsome song

[jaytonbye]

awesome man, after being at my friends house and watching that im gonna borrow a keyboad from him just to learn this.. thanks!!!

[freelander]

I just found a keyboard today. Brought it home, set it up. I have absolutely NO musical talent/knowledge whatsoever, but I AM going to learn to play this song. I don't even know which key is which! But I think with enough practice, I can get this. At least the first couple minutes anyway. Wish me luck.

[PinguinKaiserin]

Thank you so much. You really helped me out.

I never thought it could be so easy to play.

[EdgeOfMyUniverse]

you're like a god <3

[monica2113]

i taught myself this by ear like 6 years ago and could never get it JUST right. there was alway a note missing here or there. it's tricky! now i get it! thanks. :o]

[fdlr016]

this is a great tutorial. i learned how to play this real quick. Check out my Konstantine cover in my videos section!

[tiggy2oo5]

love it. will try this tomorrow when my family is not sleeping. thank you!

[taylarbelisle1818]

what would be a good why to learn how to play with both left and right hand, because i can play with each hand at the spped but not both at once.

[aslowrush12]

practice

[DimixIV]

men you are awesome thank to you i learnt a lot!!

even i strated to play songs by my self but easy ones. Thank tou you ;)

i would like to learn to play the song of how i met your mother.. it is named Hey BEautifull, by the solids.. and if you want to hear it without lirics it is in the end of each episode...

anyway you are great ;)

[Sarinv2]

beautiful what an epic epic song

[BasketballMusic13]

wow awsome thanx man i greatly appreciate this

[L0lBullet]

Lol, personal note 1:50

[megngarnett]

would you pretty pretty please do Cavannah Park by Something Corporate? I've been looking forever but cant find anything.

[kaitc0metrue]

yeah you should really SAY the notes.

[mattdapaz]

am i the only one that the link isnt working for?

[iDusk]

There's one part that isn't right at the beginning...00:15 to 00:19 is a bit wrong. He should be doing the B Flat by itself a bit later, like with his right hand it should be F, B flat, F ,B flat, F, B Flat, B Flat, F, B Flat, B Flat.. If you listen to the song you can figure it out.

[Koncept101]

Firstly, Id like to thank you, for making such a nice, easy tutorial, dude. Kudos.

My only question is pertaining to how do you segue from the main riff to that of the chorus part, with the chord? :)

[JMisSC08]

Im not 100%, but I dont think there is another cord or key Andrew uses to make that transition. I think he just moves his hands straight to it very quickly. So its pretty much fast enough that it will still flow because of the other instrumentals still flowing and changing at the exact moment.

[Koncept101]

That makes sense. So its just a direct transition from the main part to the chorus then, basically? Gotta practice that, because It looks sloppy when I do it.. Though, If its just you, I'm sure you could just vamp in something..

[JudgesGes]

dude I believe this is not the actual song!! u could say is a cover or something like that but im a little confused in here..

[iDusk]

This is the real song.

Learn your SoCo.

[toxicsluge]

what r u talking about?

have u ever heard the song..

this is the song

[4n6oracle]

brillant

[mybestfrendsafrog]

Hi Ryan!

[thesalvia]

You're awesome. I love you :D

[Seth92493]

YAYA!

[Pianoicicles]

at the very beginning you go F, B flat, F, B flat, B flat, when its supposed to be F, B flat, F, B flat, F, then F, B flat, F B flat, B Flat and same for a few other areas

[NuN5000]

very close ryan..but not quite.

[LoveKonstantine]

Thanks, I wanted to learn this for awhile now, just didnt know where to look.

[xxnattyxxx]

ahhhhhh i wont a piano

[funnyguyjh]

the ending doesn't go well with the song at all

[kbeau21]

you're a great teacher ...this is one of my favorite songs, and you make it easy to learn it ...and i've never even been that good at playing the piano.

[lizzzzie95]

your amazing, your amazing, your AMAZING!!!:)

[DumbestCrayon]

You're awesome man. This song sounds so much harder than it really is. Thanks sooo much.

[xosopialolzxo]

can you do a tutorial for me and the moon by something corporate i think i asked already but i've been dying to learn that song

PLEASE + THANK YOU

[TehRatchet]

He hasn't uploaded a video in a year....... Geez....

[xosopialolzxo]

[KillerduckyROCKS]

aah, gah. i don't know if it's just the way i was taught piano or what, but i'm having such a hard time playing this together. and i'm a three year piano student. bah.

thank you so much for the video, though. it's awesome. i just need some more practice, haha.

[melieche]

its hard for me too! I've been playing for 11 years, but its because u have to get used to arpeggios! Once you get it u will NEVER FORGET!

[spitbullet]

OH GOD THANK YOU! haha, i felt like such a faggot cause i've been having such a hard time with it, but i've only been playing the piano for like 8 months and i don't know how to read sheet music s haha this is ridiculous for me. Almost got it though.

[emxxxxx]

OMGSH! Thank you for putting this video up! I love this song and I love how you did step by step and showed the keys. It made it so easy!

[Estefany118]

omg i looove that song!

but i need A LOT of practice to play it

haha

[rvguitarman126]

real good, helped me out ALOT

[GiddyGabby]

Ahhh...

I need help with the  right hand.

[o0ODawNO0o]

Dieses Lied erinnert mich immer an das für mich wichtigest Mädchen auf der Welt :'(

Babe I will not lose you! :'(

[panzieflower]

[thewiredpart]

thank you so much for this.

[alcibiades814]

[Reburga]

Could anyone tell me where I can find the sheets? I've been looking for them but I can't find them

[panzieflower]

Being sold on the Jacks Mannequin Website - check out the store!

[xREASSx]

[Howlingwolf555]

F Bb F Bb Bb (repeat)

F A F A A F A F Bb Bb

F A F Bb (x4)

That's how I play it, at any rate. Anyone care to correct that?

[aVRiLrOckZ9]

@Howlingwolf555 Oh my god! Thank you!

[emmaRULEZdOOd]

can you make one for cavanaugh park by something corporate?

[Howlingwolf555]

What's the count for the intro?

[kylefreed]

ryan, im a huge fan of all of your tutorials. I actually learned how to play konstantine off this video. BUT the rhythm your playing is actually WRONG. it's super close but its slightly different. listen to my video.

[JMluv33NickJluv]

oh man i have small hands so one of the parts ar hard for me, but great great job!

[JonnyBoySyer]

fantastic vid, i learnt this so quick.

[thewizard99]

look in the description please

[CompassBlue]

I'm not sure that it was listed on the website... :S

Nothing came up for Something Corporate. Humm...

[thewizard99]

oh dont know then, i was there a while back. if i find one ill pass it on : )

[YOUDEADXD]

hey nice job on this i think you messed up on 5:45 because you played a Bb instead of an Eb but its sounded amazing anyway nice job.

[livelifealwaysx3]

i love this! you're really good. it's so tempting to go faster ;)

[ChangeOfTimesx]

Part 2, pleeeaase???

[TmaxxPianoplayer]

Thanks for all of the great videos!

[MissViax3]

Thank you!(:

Please post the rest soon!

[flibygiby09]

[sabaysabog]

[doublem92]

you have no fucking idea what your talking about.

andrew mcmahon is wonderful

[ChristineTheDinosawr]

WONDERFUL!

[thewizard99]

@doublem92 Agreed

[aleepoiire]

you suck

[KawFilms]

do straw dog and or cavanaugh park

[MexoSwitchXx]

when i started to play it my right hand while playing the g was rotating between f&a to f& bflat... i may be wrong but it sounds right to me.

[rebelz2o3]

yea its close like

DMB0406 said but try this

INSTEAD OF ( RIGHT HAND)

F BFLAT F BFLAT BFLAT F BFLAT F BFLAT BFLAT..

TRY

F BFLAT F BFLAT F F BFLAT F BFLAT BFLAT

[LastPlaceVictor]

kick ass! thanks a ton!

[heartbreaker5]

whoa. i wish i had these skills. you're almost as good as andrew!!

[CrazyAutumnWeekend]

Thank you so much!

I almost have it.

You posted this a day before my birthday. :)

[skate1789]

you give the best lessons online than anyone else that does it, and your so freakin good man its nuts, thanks for the lessons!

[WCA09]

i love this song me and my friend liked it sience 6th grade and it our song now i know how to play it on piano thanx!

[saidsimplified]

I'd suggest you learn the two hands together, when plays them together. That's how I did it. =]

[emitandEXUDE]

Go really slow at first, and as you become more confident, play a little faster. :]

[iDusk]

The first part he plays on this is wrong, if you listen to the song you'll know how. He hits a note too early.

[ashemsxx]

thannnkyou

now i can play it:)

[IxIFFYxI]

this is an easy song. still props thats a good song and it sounds really good. i honestly i swear to god have only played the piano in middle school and i was given an entire 6 week period to learn a song. and that's my piano experience. i learned the intro (with out owning a piano) and was able to play it fairly easily with few mistakes the first time i actually tried it on a piano

[mitchykinsxx]

Oh thanks so much.

I always need help with left hand!!

[Paintballguru92]

thank you ever so much

[weirdali25]

Where can I get Sheet music for this song?

[Hottancakes]

Ryan I love you and I have missed your Tutorials! Thank you!

[shortypecca]

OMG this is great i always wanted to learn how to play this!!!

[massari1996]

hey why dont you accually play the song too instead of just teaching us lol

[theaman1676]

If you seriously can't learn how to play it just from hearing it, you shouldn't be playing piano. also, this isn't exactly the right way to play it.

[jrsnlee]

actually i think you'll find that many excellent piano players aren't necessarily good at playing by ear. playing the piano, or any musical instrument, isn't and shouldn't be about how naturally talented you are, it should be about how willing you are to learn. and i'm going to take a guess and say that this version isn't "exactly right" because the original piece includes guitar, bass and drums.

[troyboy657]

I have been playing piano for 13 years and i find that statement to be untrue. Not everyone can play by ear. I'd like to see you do a better job..

[troyboy657]

sorry my post was a reply to theaman1676.

[CaptnCatastrophe]

Then what are you doing here?

[searchinggaze]

Thank you so much for this tutorial :)

[guitarhero966494]

MAN!!! I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS!!!!XD

[arochajavierenrique]

congratulation man! from venezuela!... the best one!!!

thanks for it!

^^

[AlessandraAsuka]

do you this by ear?

[rockdudeman11]

thanks ryan this is soooooooooooooo gooooood. I made a video of me playing/singing if you wanna check it out. thanks for the help!

[lapotra]

thank you so very much

been my favorite song for a few

years now and i am really

excited to learn how to play

considering the fact i received

a piano for my birthday.

good day . : )

[oaksmoke]

there is a website that has a buncha soco sheets and jacks sheets. they have two versions of Konstantine and it looks like this guy is playing the easier version

[emmymb]

what's the website called?

[wdcraig1992]

This is one of the greatest songs ever composed, and you did a magnificent job doing the tutorial, considering I played piano for the first time today, and had it down perfectly within 30 minutes.

[AstrIche]

me too!

can't find it.

[kels327]

go to the library!

[ILT2M]

you serious they have it at the library? I kinda doubt my town does.. it's not on the link he gave nor anywhere else I can find.

[AstrIche]

This is very handy!

But when i go to the site for the sheet music I really don't find it.. i can't find the sheet, but i really need to learn playing it!

Could you please tell me where i can search? :)

[emmymb]

this is really good! i cant learn it cause i cant play piano at all. but its awesme

[kels327]

haha just try it.

that's what i did with the boston video a while back... i hadn't sat down at a piano... ever... but it just kind of worked.

ryan's a good teacher. :] lol

[minas23]

awesome thanks a lot for this. well taught and well played cheers.

[bennygoodman03]

OMG! So I love you. I wasn't even looking for this. I was glancing through your videos and almost died when I saw this. You're my hero.

[gbvm]

thnx man

[avonhockypler14]

cool

[2Good4Nothing]

I WANT YOUR KEYBOARD.

[melieche]

Thanks! This helped me cover it! Posted it as a response.

[lovinggc23]

wow I love the song! I'm dying to play it xD I'm going to do it for a school porject xD I wil get an A+!! thanks U thanks U!!! <3

[xbrok3nxh3adphon3sx]

i finally learned how to play this now but theres still some missing pieces ....considered the "interpretation" part?

[jetflyer89]

Can you do matchbox 20 3am. theres someone else on here who does it but they arent nearly as descriptive as you. hes got the song down but its not broken down into parts like this. thank you!

[rockdudeman11]

hey. did you ever learn the other parts to the song, like the solo in the middle?

[yz603]

do you by chance have the sheet music for this song?

[sportskid0128]

well i definitely agree with getting up a video for the rest of this song

i eared out a lil bit of the solo and stuff, but the whole thing overall i think is kinda difficult

so whenever you can id greatly appreciate it

[jfriedman2008]

hey this is a good video but can you put some jacks mannequin mixed tape or maybe 21 and invincible

[Gwelphie]

You're AMAZING!!! However, I learn best with sheet music, and the link you have in the description doesn't have Konstantine. So does anybody know where I could find Konstantine sheet music?

[geeksquadgreg]

instead of doing a flat every time during the beginning for the base, you can alternate between a flat and regular note.

[Wunju]

Have you done a vid for the second part yet? If not, when will you do it? Love/ Tulla Filippa

[Asianwaste]

Great tutorial. I just find it slightly funny that it took less time to teach the song than the actual length of the song XD
