[TheTenienteBunker]

[BrickFilmsCinema]

Can you please make a tutorial?!!?!? Im beggin ya! PLease! Look! I'll subscribe!

[CTS1PHMST]

This is amazing! Very accurate! I love it!

[TheOptimisticPanda]

What time signature is this in?

[tommyk77]

@TheOptimisticPanda I think the original is simply in 4/4 with some rubato. I'm playing almost completely rubato here though

[TheOptimisticPanda]

@tommyk77 Thanks, I'm arranging this song for my orchestra, and I wasn't quite 100%. I thought it might be worth asking somebody who has already arranged it.

[Foxtrot323]

I like the version of this in Halo 3 better. It plays when Miranda Keys dies and Truth says: "God's Must be Strong!" It's played in E instead of E#...I think it sounds better in that Key. The song (in Halo 3) is entitled "Heroes Also Fall" (its at the end of the song called: Black Tower).

[tommyk77]

@Foxtrot323 You mean F, not E# :-P

[Foxtrot323]

@tommyk77 yeah sorry (I was half-asleep while typing that lol)

[Clendmike]

@tommyk77 That's what i was thinking

need tutorial buddy

[vikingthebeast]

i watch this atleast 50 times a day because i am trying to learn it...what keys are you pressing on your right hand at 0;13.....please messege my inboxplease

[tommyk77]

@vikingthebeast 0:13 is an F minor add 9 chord. There's a G that falls to the F in my right hand where my thumb is.

The first half is all F minor, so just you the chords from F natural minor scale.

[vikingthebeast]

@tommyk77 if you say it is okey i would like to do a tutorial on this on fridag......i dont know the song exacally how it sounds but no other video is up on youtube that are a tutorial ....but can i do it???

[tommyk77]

@vikingthebeast Sure thing. Go ahead. I might do one myself at some point, but I can comment on yours first :-)

[medicalyunstble]

Would it be okay if i made a piece of sheet music from this? I can see which keys you pressed and i'm sure many people would like a copy of it.

[tommyk77]

@medicalyunstble By all means, go ahead :-)

[coasterfreak666]

Thank you for posting this. You did an excellent job with learning it by ear and for some of the chords in this song I know how much effort that must have taken. Never take this video down. This is easily one of the best Halo Theme song covers out there, especially with the fact this is one of the best songs.

[DAGOLFPro1]

Hmmmm, I kinda want to learn how to play the piano. Two Questions, would this piece be good for starters? And If this is sheet music, do you think you can give me the site and or source you got the music from?

[tommyk77]

@DAGOLFPro1 Certainly a piece for beginners. I'm doing a tutorial on how to transcribe Halo music by ear in a few days time I think. No sheet music sorry

[Wagnificient]

Is that in E flat major?

[tommyk77]

@Wagnificient The second part is, yes... sort of. It lingers on chord two quite a lot.

[sh1tth3ad]

thats good man i suck at the piano,u ownd this,i realy like the 1rst movment

[MyBlingBlingBoy]

Did you use the pedal? And how did you learn this piece? If it was sheet music do you mind giving me the source? Anyways, Very Good.

[tommyk77]

@MyBlingBlingBoy Yes, pedalling on each chord change. I just worked out the key and went from there. No sheet music sorry. :-(

Thanks for the comment. I might do a tutorial soon.

[joshodst]

MUY CONMOVEDOR EL TEMA

[javescle]

can you make a tutorial please¿¿¿ :)

[TheSchemer1]

Sounds all right, could you do High Charity- Pursuit of Truth?

[tommyk77]

@TheSchemer1 I'm not sure I've heard of that one. Can you link me?

[mortenkul]

@tommyk77 High Charity Suite - Pursuit of Truth '' is the only KeyBoard ' solo ' Martin O'Donnell plays from Halo 1 to Halo 3 ... It's Electric sound at his keyboard, and it sounds like bouncing balls with different tones in them : ) search on youtube '' High Charity Suite '' : ))

[tommyk77]

@mortenkul Just took a listen on itunes. Pretty cool! It would be great to do an acoustic arrangement of that I think. Bongos, timpani, shakers, choir, strings etc. :-)

[mortenkul]

@tommyk77 GREAT ! I ain't that familiar with keyboards.. especially not the one I got or else : D If I just somehow found the sound marty / Martin uses, I would SO upload it my self x) Just make an arpeggio of the chords, used : ) You know...

Great work here btw !!!!

[memocle]

ey men can you make a tutorial for this song please???????

[ilikepie442]

i love this song! its so sad and so beautiful! and you played it so well

[benlonghighway]

Did you know the second movement is also (and I think mostly if counting ALL Halo games), played during the ending?

[teenovels]

nice job!

[xbh1h2]

I still cant get over how amazing this piece is and how well you played it.

[blahmaen]

Tribute.

[LOidos2000]

Can i ask? what's a tribute? i dont know im not a english person, im norwegian

[xXthemassiveguyXx]

Tribute betyr hyllest eller anerkjennelse.

[LOidos2000]

tusen takk :)

[mrmuffins007]

a tribute is like something done in honor of someone or something. or a gift given in full respect to honor someone

[LOidos2000]

@mrmuffins007 Ty, I already know ^^

[HaloWarsFreak]

[PraetorianStrategy]

WOOOW ...

Could you make a tutorial for this song, please ?

[bryan21122112]

[xbh1h2]

beautiful. One of my favorite pieces from all the games. You did a terrific job.

[laverde92399]

[pvt4567]

ahhhh i think its a woman dude and real great performance.

[MastrCake]

And they said...

"Let there be Halo!"

Seriously, you got serious Mojo. I don't even know what Mojo is, but you got it!

[dbrectangled]

AMAZING ..really good ,,, i usualy dont add performance videos to my favorites unless its really good! and yur wasent good...it was great!

[tommyk77]

Thanks very much, dbrectangled!

[arbpotatoes]

Yes, I want to know how to play the ambient part too. It's so amazing. I can play the first part, but I'm a guitarist who can play the keyboard but not talk 'keyboard language'...

[tommyk77]

Yeah, so far I think it is a recorded sound of some sort of machinery. I'm pretty sure it is a filtered sample, rather than a synthesised sound

[mortenkul]

Keyboard / Piano Notes? ;p

[xbh1h2]

Beautiful.

[mortenkul]

OH MY GOD! You are so rocky!! ( not balboa )
