Tutorial: Requiem for a Dream (Difficult Version)

[Cyphus54]

Your version is great and this tutorial is much appreciated. Some of the parts don't get enough explanation I think since you squeezed it into 10mins. Ever consider making an expanded 2 part tutorial to help those of us who are slow learners? :p

[Piano8myhomework]

@Cyphus54 Hey! yah ive thought about redoing a bunch of these tutorials because they do seem to go a bit fast :S Unfortunately i have an extremmely intense workload at the moment and I recently had a serious ack injury. I cant really sit at the piano anymore so doing a tutorial is quite difficult :S

[vittel83]

i am still in training with playing "requiem for a dream" - its hard :)

[dianaruslanovna]

very good just a tip for fiewtcher refrences u bounce up and down to much only move your fingers

[PottermoreJKRowling]

Tank you so much this is a great tutorial iknow all the notes just couldnt find out how to play it :)

[MrAeroSpinz66]

Did you push down pedal?

[Piano8myhomework]

@MrAeroSpinz66 hey yah i did! lol i mean there is no way of creating that eery sound of the piece or the full huge sound in the chorus without some nice pedal work! i can not go every second of the piece for pedaling. This is something a pianist must do on their own! Its personal preference if you want a drier or murkier sound. good luck :)

[BrAInBas]

you totally lost me after like 7 minutes! :(

[Piano8myhomework]

@BrAInBas Really? I just rewatched it. whats complicated? Do you guys not write out the notes? Thats what i always do when i watch tutorials... But i'm throwing it out there that it is the difficult version

[BrAInBas]

@Piano8myhomework the tutorial itself is great! its just the timing and syncopation of the two hands thats confused me, but after doing each hand separately for a while and slowly putting them together, its working now! thanks for a great tutorial on a great song!

[Piano8myhomework]

@BrAInBas Ah yes i had more but i had to get it under the 10 minute time...sorry :( damn youtube haha but if you need any sections i have a version right there in the info bar :D

[pbgio15]

many thanks and nice piano

[Piano8myhomework]

@archergamesshow hm? which part exactly??

[MarafujiKaede]

Actually, It did help me - I copied your way of playing the intro :D

[Piano8myhomework]

@MarafujiKaede :) YAY yah its not 2 bad eh? i do enjoy this song

[zidane5102]

And on 2:00 you say that you need to press 4 times, but you press 6 times.

[Piano8myhomework]

@zidane5102 Well you certainly found THE mistake! wow phew you caught me. I was gonna get away with everyone making taht one mistake and i'd be perfect.....Idiot. First off I posted sheet music. I go over every single...EVERY SINGLE NOTE! did you notice that its almost 10 MINUTES!!!! also in the descriptioni gave a link with me playing the whole thing together. lol find another mistake.....i actually quite impressed you found that one mistake hahaha

[zidane5102]

@Piano8myhomework Dude, just take the criticism... It would be best if you show the part and then play it slowly... Not just skip it.

[Piano8myhomework]

@zidane5102 lol meh i said srry. im not gonna delete my comment. anyways dude if ur not happy with a note by note tutorial thats fine. and trust me i do that whole play through slowly for all my other tutorials but for a 4 page song with a bunch of chords and shit ton of notes i didn't feel like putting together a 2 part tutorial of at least 20 minutes. Also i posted a link of me playing it.originally this was 16 minutes, just be glad someone actually did this

[zidane5102]

Sorry, but your tutorial is absolutely no use, because you just show some parts and dont play itself just skip to other part.

[Piano8myhomework]

@zidane5102 idiot may have been a bit harsh.I'm sorry you feel this way about my tutorial. I hope you find a piano teacher in person who can show you how to play this because there is no substitute for one :)

[lovley42197]

you make it look so easy ^_^ 

[Piano8myhomework]

@lovley42197 its not so bad with practice :) took me about 2 days. I think any song is possible if you practice enough..and have big hands

[lovley42197]

@Piano8myhomework well i have small hands but ican still probally manage it :P

[moonlitsky9]

Love the improv at the end :) Keep up the hard work

[Piano8myhomework]

@moonlitsky9 thanks :) just makin stuff up :P im happy i figured out what i did hahaha and will do!

[nika134twilight]

ITS really difficult...but awesome ___

[Piano8myhomework]

@nika134twilight i hope i helped :) it shouldn't be to bad with practice!!!!

[nika134twilight]

@Piano8myhomework yuup thnxx))

[blackhawk24d]

PERFECT TUTORIAL!!

[Piano8myhomework]

@blackhawk24d THANK YOU! looking at it now i can't believe i actually made this. i had way 2 much time on my hands then :P

[AndreaTuccilloBuonoc]

sei un grande!!!!!! mi fai felice con questo grazieeeee grazieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Mumfin]

Thanks! This will leave me occupied for a few... weeks? :P I got one question. I don't get how you are supposed to use the sustain pedal when playing the first part (or any other parts for that matter). You want to sustain the notes you play using your left hand, but when doing that, all the notes coming from the right hand are of course sustained as well. Am I missing something here?

Remember, I am a complete piano noob.

[DolceEbellaAldrin]

Thanks so so so so much! :)

You are awesome!

[rmadlal]

You can upload movies that are longer than 15 minutes (it's a new YouTube thing)

[Piano8myhomework]

@rmadlal hot damn! well then....i would have had a lot of the play back....ah well. is it not good enough?

[rmadlal]

@Piano8myhomework Of course it's good enough, you've done a great job :)

[HeyitsAnon]

You just made my life complete.

[Piano8myhomework]

@HeyitsAnon finally! i've aimed at that for so long :P any other songs for a tutorial?

[mwbgproduction]

awesome.

Thank you!
