How to Play The Fray - How to Save a Life - Piano - Tutorial

[ThatsAmy96]

i sort of know how to play this song, only the backing though. its hard to play them both together and i think you did a good job of it, it sounds a little messy here and there but its good. it doesnt matter how long you've been playing for, ive been playing for five years and i dont know all the technical stuff about piano & im grade 3, my mate has been playing for 2 years and he's already playing at a grade 5 level and can talk about piano like its the easiest thing in the world, and its not.

[MitchAndo96]

you cant play it

[said2169]

HEY! this is horrible! if you're making a how to video, first of all....you have to know how to play the song the right way! second.....NEVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR in a song the piano plays the same things as the singer!!!.........but nice ty anyways :)

[artists1018]

@said2169 actually when on piano it plays what the singer says, its called playing the melody. some people do it because they dont want to sing it, but like what im doing for the talent show, i learned the song without the melody.

[flowerpothead66]

@said2169 Actually, people do. If you're playing for a perfomance, typically, you should only play the backing. But I am assuming that this person is just playing for themselves, so they have the right to choose whether they play it or not. As they have chosen too. I've been playing piano for 7 years, so don't try to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about :)

[lakevillefreebird74]

Hey how do you get that piano on screen in the video. I'm making how - to videos for piano.

[ashizzlenizzle95]

This isn't the way the song is played

[MarkusHazzel]

"How to play the Fray - How to save a life" Well, THAT makes sense!

[Beatrice2313]

Hey what type of piano do you have, I want to get one, but I have no idea whivh one

[vincentvhoof]

@Beatrice2313 just go to a music store and ask them ;d they will give you the right one for you

[Aecnoril117]

Wait... No! Stop, this is not how the song should be played AT ALL!

[xMYxONLYxYOUx]

it's really good but it's too small i could hardly see it lol

[BhavnaNaik24]

love your tutorials =)

[myr0001]

[44princessmonster]

[WaterBottle1998]

[Msryrykelso]

[Msryrykelso]

[ubialijuni]

Fast car by tracy chapman PLEASEEEEE!

[SakuraKetchumYagami]

Omg! Sugoii ne niichan osakaneike wotonee

[RockenHalo3]

I wanna learn how to play this so bad

[tracker2241]

and before you all start i can play this song on 3 different instruments

[tracker2241]

oh god he killed it

[MegaJan999]

this is totally wrong stop !!!!!!!! is sounds horrible

[MegaJan999]

this is totally wrong !!!!!!!!! is sounds awful as well arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[awwwsnapitsviki]

cant really say anything since im a horrible pianist just starting to learn but you should really concentrate on playing the correct notes, i personally like the original alot more :/

[Gistastic]

Where can i get the sheet music to this song? I love it :)

[2bbybeth2]

you play the same beginning bit as me apart from the last one, i play c g,g, geg it sounds right though so.. just saying :L

[Shevanne702]

wrong notes. that is all.

[JereBearable]

Sounds like you're playing it just to play it. Put some feeling into it, really mean it and want to play it. You won't believe how much better it sounds when you really feel the music as you play. You played very good and talented but I just wasn't feeling any emotion.

[Camy415]

@JereBearable When she (or he? hands lol) started doing the kinda arpeggio I was like oh! feeling but then while it did sound good it was a little void of emotion.. Totally agree

[awwwsnapitsviki]

@JereBearable im sorry but the buttons dont make different sounds according to your mood. if that was possible id be purposely be feeling "how to save a life" just so i could master the song.. not going to happen it works for singing and thats really it because its YOUR voice and if its a sad song and your singing sad it sounds better than what you would when your all happy but this is a piano with set up notes its not going to change so stop acting like a wannabe critic, you just dont like it.

[JereBearable]

@awwwsnapitsviki Wow. Defensive much?

I've been playing piano and studying music since I was 4 years old. I've performed in Morse Hall and I've recieved multiple scholarships to Juilliard. I think I know what the fuck I'm talking about you androgynous douche.

[awwwsnapitsviki]

@JereBearable then why are you watching a tutorial on how to play the piano...

[JereBearable]

@awwwsnapitsviki My bad...didn't know I wasn't allowed to watch videos to see how people play certain songs and give them advice and to make renditions of my own. I just won't have any human curiosity from now on.

[Ramennoodles626]

@awwwsnapitsviki He's right you know. There isn't a single instrument that doesn't factor emotion into the way it sounds. It doesn't matter on the notes or they key it's in. It's mostly about how you draw out the notes, slur certain notes together or use vibrato in a certain fashion.

[Redtempest91]

you usually learn how to play the song before you try and teach it. this seems like youre trying to do both at the same time :/

[PianoCatZeroXIII]

Good job I"m almost done learning it by memory :)

What type of piano do you play, i love it's tone?

[Texas5522]

@PianoCatZeroXIII 2:04

[AnnikenXX]

Uhh just because someone is watching a tutorial doesnt mean they suck it means they want to learn and some people know how to teach people correctly, I play a lot of songs some of which u don't kno and I learned them from the tutorial ,and doing so has tought me to improvise<33

-Sammi Psychadelic(:

[NaddytheGladdy]

i miss the feeling, while you´re playing

[DropDeadZoehh]

does anyone know where i can get piano music sheets? x

[PianoCatZeroXIII]

@DropDeadZoehh

I can send you a link if you want? :)

[Laijjsah]

dont listen to them, I think it sounds just like the song, even if its not in the same key as the normal version :) it may not be a very good tutorial, since its very fast, but the song is quite right I think :) so stop naggin' at him! or her ... dunno if ure a he or she ;) ure prob better at piano than the people watching this anyway, including me ;)

[MrCdot7]

guessing this is the easy version?

[SitOnYouProductions]

THAT SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE THE SONG! YOU SUCK TERRIBLY!

[robosigma]

suggetion... learn how to play the piano before you try to teach.

[axxaxaxx]

@robosigma Your probably shit at playing piano, thats why your watching it

[robosigma]

@axxaxaxx well no shit... why else would i be watchin these viedos. but i dont go postion videos online of my sucky ass playing like you do.

[Melodienful]

this is very fast,

can you make a slower version?

[phronquexx45]

this fucking sucks how ae you suppost to learn that quick

[50fithLondoner]

the reason it sounds different to you guys is becuase the song how to save a life uses two different pianos to go with the melody and the vocal at the same time so there are various ways of playing this song

[tpomroy25]

sorry but that didnt help at all

[CmlK100]

@tpomroy25 yeah it was way to fast

[TheSoladygaga22]

bravo bravo butiful just butiful if i could i would give it a six star rating that was briliant hey tell the piano player that she or he is a genious luv the vid gtta go bye!

[hannahduhh01]

make a tutorial on two is better than one (: please

[littlebites]

that was terrible

[ToxiicMikez]

thats all rong

[Frankiegirl2020]

So is your spelling.

[iLoveRandomnessPoo]

@Frankiegirl2020 HAHAHA smart arse heheh (Y)

[TheSpaceGeeks]

this is very pretty :)

[ffandfb]

@TheSpaceGeeks indeed :)

[achybabe]

it's alright i guess but its nice

[TheNuckleHeads]

If you know he's playing it in a different key, it's not too hard to change the key.. It's like a number line

[KandJindustries]

uhh, i think it needs a little practice....

[TheDestinyWhispers]

true, it is being played wrong, but it still sounds really nice; it has just been done in a different key to the actual song, and they have fleshed it out a bit more to make up for the lack of other sintruments; let's be fair people, the song itself uses other instruments too; these are lost when just playing the piano on its own.

[simpifare]

True he is playing it wrong but still I like it.

[Briansit0]

Ur playing it sooo wrong i play it beter then you!!!!

[konstantin552]

where is the right version then? :)

[Sariita1997]

precioso!!!

[riodeuser]

Was hier gespielt wird ist schlicht und einfach völlig daneben und falsch und krumme Töne ohne Ende, also wirklich

[musics4me]

My opinion is he already did his tutorial,and good thing it showed where his fingers are pressing. Coz if it didn't, I will be stuck listening to a different melody, and hands that are playing too fast

[Victoriam4074]

more feeling

[1nGrindWeTrust]

Not bad.

[bbypry123]

its good but quite hard to keep up with

[BozourMinou]

WTF ur playing it wronnnggg!!!!!!That fkn bad

[saoirseliksmuffins]

TommyGirl, you're really annoying! :P I like the song! :) Well done! :)

[hi6767667]

wrong(beginning)

really,,check other vid and see

[LifexInxChains]

WROOOONG

[danielhendry12]

This Is TOTALLY wonng

[XempH]

um.... no.

[schase10353]

I'm sorry but I can't stand stand any Piano song that isn't what the artist actually played. Every single piano video is the same here. Doesn't ANYONE on youtube do tutorials on the actual song?

[GentleDanielle]

They don't have like cpoies that give them the exact nores ya kow. They have to play by ear- which is pretty amazing. Unless you could play by ear- SHUT UP

[schase10353]

I'm a piano player at Howl at the Moon Indianapolis. So yes, actually, I AM a professional musician that plays by ear... Why else would I be so annoyed at something like that?

[swordkorn]

well said

[dianthavreeken]

@GentleDanielle

I play by ear, and this tutorial is crap. If he/she called it a cover..okay thats his/her own version of the song. but now other people are gonna play the song like this.... omg thats rape of the song :O

~sorry if my english is bad.xd

[lithiumexp]

@GentleDanielle i can lol

[lithiumexp]

@GentleDanielle i can lol and the left hands wrong o.o

[sbsurfschool]

In this musicians defence ,granted its not true note for note, but all musicians including myself having seen some of my music played in tutorials by other people on you tube its lovely to see other peoples interpritation and 'soul' put in to your music. sometimes more soulfull than perhaps i could have done myself. Keep up the work mymusiclogs. Annon

[Csabeee07]

??? something is missing i think

[live2fail]

nah i think its cause the song is fast but in the tutorial its slow so yeah sounds like something missing but i dont think there is

[xTommyGirlx]

most of it is wrong.. even the melody. god.. time to find another guide. I play by ear better than this and I never took piano lessons >.>

[LJPfilm]

no you dont

[MrBlackGolfV]

shut up dumfuck!

[xTommyGirlx]

My comment was rude in the way I phrased it. I am sorry for that, but the melody is wrong here.. :\

[BFFsAutumnK8]

My friend,Grace can play this.

Look at our videos!

Please rate and comment them,you don't have to subscribe,just please rate and comment my videos

[sunnycoastroxusall]

i think it sounds much better *if u can sing* if u sing the melody instead of playing it

i just think it sounds like its missing something when u play the melody and dont sing it....

btw I CANT SING FOR SHIT :D

[mileyhope09]

you're such a great pianist! i don't know what happened to me maybe i hit my head because i was great in playing the piano before, oh God! help me! haha i need to get back my mojo in playing the piano again! :)

[DE2733]

God I wish it was slower!!!!!!

[idzny]

well, you can see they put the link at the top of the video if you want to see the slow motion one

[ecarro]

its played wrong well according to the sheet music

[edrrie]

too bad it's too fast

[daiskefan23]

all you have to do is pause it to get a good look at the note

[frenchydrummer3]

yeah the playing is totally wrong

[PhilosophicalPsycho]

it doesnt matter at all as long as it's understandable

[TALLGiraffe1190]

not correct AT ALL. watch the other tutorials

[trashqueen09]

very good work.. but actually it's hard to see which hand play which notes..

[momohoboROX]

cool!!

[xmusicxjunkyx6]

good at playing shit at teaching

[10thunited]

no its not fast.. its slower than the original.

its a good tutorial for starters.. nice work! ^_^V

[thenameisnotimportan]

does anyone have sheet music fot this?

[DE2733]

yup I do!!!!!!!

[ILuvDarkColours]

it roks bt a bit too fast. =(

[wimmeriano]

excellent... but it would be better if played slower :)

[goodbiggles]

uhm uhm.. can i ask for sheet-music?

[PhilosophicalPsycho]

Nice, but it could be clearer. I bet I wouldn't be able to do this. But I'm going to keep up the trend of five stars like the other 3.

[forestfan84]

absolutely brilliant

[aprillwillis]

gorgeous
