[sirchristian12]

I am a piano player and been playing for quite a while. Is harp very hard to play?

[ryanisfootdrums]

@sirchristian12

Harp isn't too hard to play, and if you have piano experience it will make learning all the easier. The hardest part is learning to pluck effectively.

[missypaakhi]

@sirchristian12 I started the harp when i was 6, i never learned how to play the piano, but i can learn to play a song on the piano quite quickly. These two instrument are practicly the same, just a different shape !

[CandyChristine17]

I'm trying to play this song on my harp.....its hard -_____-

[TheHarpgirl10]

really good!

[JonathanTaylor1000]

is there any chance you could please post a tutorial of this song. I've just got a harp and i'd love to learn this song. You covered it really well. Thanks xx

[ryanisfootdrums]

@JonathanTaylor1000

Just look up the chords, that's all I did.

[gouzynette]

@ryanisfootdrums

Hello do you have the partition ?

[ryanisfootdrums]

@gouzynette

Partition?

[snowjay336]

@ryanisfootdrums You Dont Have The Partition?!? OMG!!

[sinester200]

harp = big chunky grandpa of the guitar :)

[kmontalvo37]

really talented man

[SuperMaimai1112]

Okay for one, that reply button got RAPED!!!

I love the fact that you used a harp!! Thats amazing!

This is now on my top 5 favorites!

I love it! ^_^ Do you think you can do some more covers??

Your voice is amazing!

Thumbs up if you agree?!

[mutanteallan]

Muito bom cara

[tpbriva]

Great!!!

[Firewalkerbg]

Has anybody ever called you Orpheus? If not, I may be the first :)

[daQMOZR]

Wtf it only lets me click 'Like' once?

[TehZedaj]

methinks 13 people have hearing problems.

[illhavetheusual]

That's gotta be a Ravenna... 34? Well played! Keep up the good work-

[ryanisfootdrums]

@illhavetheusual

Ravenna 26 actually :-)

[TheCaliforniaKitty]

Dang! You're so talented! Loved your playing & singing. Beautiful voice! Is this a Cohen song? Do you have the sheet music, or do you play by ear? You're awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[hedhok2]

must be a bitch to tune a harp O_o

great playing btw :D

[djayincognito]

You are inspiring!! Praise God for you bro...

[SydneyXLovesXDanzig]

LOVE!

[jesscah100]

this is amazing...harp and vocals

[vanthedarkside]

I've been playing and singing this song for several years, and I have to congratulate you on one of the more honest and restrained versions of this song I've ever heard. Bravo, sir. Bravo.

[MattLFraser]

.... I am just in awe with musical talent. I don't know why . . . but dear lord . . . I'd bare with you ;) (hehehe)

Jokes aside, Good job : )

[emiejjj]

omg you're singing with it! awesome =)

[krisandadamluvr]

This is such a beautiful song and your voice is amazing!

[bitzrulz]

i was totally amazing you're awesome, only it's not "please bare with me" it's "please bear with me"

[ryanisfootdrums]

@bitzrulz

lol, no I wanted everyone to take off their clothes with me ;)

[bitzrulz]

@ryanisfootdrums lol that was funny and i just realized i wrote "i was totally amazing" which means that i'm a failure..... lolol i either meant that i was amazed or you were amazing, not quite sure what i was trying to say there... lol

[weemaori]

@bitzrulz What? Thats bear as in the animal....

[bitzrulz]

@weemaori lol well tell me another way to spell it, but bare is as in naked or without something, and bear has two meanings, one is obviously the animal and the other is to like tolerate or make it through something (obviously i'm really bad at definitions, but you get the idea)

[dulcimerhawaii]

very nice!

[ryanisfootdrums]

@CakeAndSLice

What I did was run a Google search on Hallelujah chords. Guitar tabs usually list the root chords, so don't be afraid to look at those.

[jocelyndanae]

Wow, this is awesome! Your tone is great on both the harp and your vocals. I also play the harp and love it when others do videos of playing/singing. Keep it up!

[SabiZwerg9]

Could you make a tutorial for this song?? pleaaaaase O:-)

I would love to play it on my harp, but I couldn't find good sheets on the internet

please? :-)

[ilovejobros312]

good playing and VERY good voice!!! :)

[ciaociaao]

*__*

[blueeulbdude]

I'm so glad I found this. I've been playing for about 10 months and I really want to learn this song. Right now I'm trying to My Heart Will Go On with extended chords. It's not too hard but I get thrown by trying to keep up with the new finger postions and where I am in the song so I keep getting lost. Anyway. I'd really love you to critique some of my videos if you ever had the time. Thanks

[acidrainstorms]

12 ppl are bout to get capped

[eline2551995]

respect dude

[uberelliott]

When Learning the Harp, do you play by hear/learn by ear, or is there some type of sheet music.?

[ryanisfootdrums]

@uberelliott

Learning by sheet music or by ear is personal preference. I learn better by ear. I am painfully slow at reading sheets, but some people can't play a note without them.

[AndMyAxe414]

Absolutely Fantastic...ya don't hear many harp covers on youtube

[InTheLight1234]

Great job man, this song is perfect for the harp. Hey just wondering, what kind of harp is that and how many strings? I've been thinking of learning to play the harp for a while. Thanks in advance.

[Shardauka]

a little fast , the original is more calm , but per general it`s ca verry cool cover

[TheColdburnMaster]

im glad i clicked on this today. U ROCK

[2009mz]

this is so awesome :)

totallie loven it

[Fredie0407]

beautiful!!!! i want to learn it too...

[kaylashalaylaaaaa]

i play guitar, ukulele, a bit of glock and i understand the overall concept of piano/keys... so how hard would it be for me to learn the harp?

[LukorNemuse]

Hello,

do you have a music score that you would agree to share with me?

Best regards,

Luc

[ryanisfootdrums]

@LukorNemuse

I don't use music scores. If I did I would share it with you though :)

[TheJuniful]

amazing!!!

[FabbyDabbyDoo14]

How did u learn to play the piece? If it was online wat website was it?

[ryanisfootdrums]

@FabbyDabbyDoo14

I looked up the chords online. I played with the fingering that I felt would sound nice.

[MyTyler89]

amazing voice and instrument play major thumbs up

[1997loveally]

omg u rock!!!!

[rafa5513]

hooow...so cute!

[RoseSiegel]

aside from a couple oopsies, it was really really good. :)

[SublimeGirl13]

how did you learn how to play this?

[ryanisfootdrums]

@SublimeGirl13

Easy! I looked up the chords online :)

[AmidProcrastination]

Neat! I like it!

But I was imagining a deeper sound to the harp. This sounds a bit shallow (the harp itself) maybe it's just the sound quality... anyway, you hit all the right notes, congrats! =]

[profdufrancais]

Really beautiful playing...I've got an instrumental version version video on here too, well done.

[DaughterOfApollo]

@BASCCQ16 : ahhh! dust it! put your fingers to it!

[oOseinSchatzOo]

very good :)

your voice too.

[cunderkoffler]

Very nice. Good balance between the music and the lyrics.

But extra props for keeping up the tune on a harp! RAWK ON!

[TropicalHarpist]

Nice one! Keep it up!

[NateDoggityDawg]

wow amazing

[Infinzelli]

very nice music...and musician too A _ A

[natewolfmanjohnson]

Very nicely done, reading the lyrics while you go along is deffinatly alright lol =P it happens to everyone, this was amazing

[MelindaP22]

Enchanting...

[xxcha2xxx]

just plain BEAUTIFUL. ^^

[ronneybaca]

wow wow wow absolutely wonderful

could i have a mp3 of this???

[albeitmanny]

this sounds so good

[tukuyaDat3nshi]

that sounds really good :D

[c33r0k33]

This is THE nicest folk music I've heard on the harp in years. Well done. I like this version. I like this solo version. I wonder what you could also do with a 3 piece band subtly backing you up.

[BadPsyTron]

I love the sound of the Harp ryanisfootdrums, and also the mistakes you make while playing :) because that makes it real and genuine.

You might be the next Andreas Vollenweider.

5*****

[jmina12]

I'm gasping in amazement. Wonderful!

[Cancoria]

An angel with a harp...

I believe in angels without wings...

[beeazy3]

[shanebieda]

Play some Meshuggah on that

[markiewicks]

Marry me?

[chibiflameo41]

Not only can you play the harp, you have a great voice to go with it, cheers to you my friend! Great cover

[Melkerullen]

Wish i could rate more than five stars.

Very good:)

Keep up the good work, friend!

[greendruid87]

cool ! I wish that I also could also learn to play Harp

[mmmhm234]

this is phenomenal.

[FireyAdept]

You are truly brilliant pal. Enjoyed every second of it. Great job, I rate this a 10 out of 5.

[anentirewardrobe]

You're wonderful! really enjoyable cover :D

[ThornsForRoses]

You are amazing.

[ryanisfootdrums]

Thanks! :-)

[dralockhart]

How appropriate to play this song on a harp. Funny that this is the first time I've heard it that way!

[ashepe]

I find a lot of the endings in the song hard to sing... especially becourse you need to catch your breath :)

[BananaAndLolla]

urm ur not plucking it right finger to hand isnt it?

[OHmangela]

I do a similar kinda thing with my ukulele, all the plucking and what not. haha then again you can't really strum a harp so.. heh. this is very good though, really enjoyable. :D

[pilomaya2012]

i love your music. beautiful and the singing is lovely.

[Hirally]

:O gorgeous!!

:] I enjoyed this. I play harp too, and I love it when people do covers of popular songs on harp. Not to mention cute guys doing it!

[RoseMaundrell]

@Hirally Ack! I must agree with you. I love this song, and this is a great cover. <3 Keep going cute dude.

[diditugas93]

very good !!!

[ryanisfootdrums]

You need to show that harp some love! :)

[angier314]

what type of harp is that and how much did it cost? i am thinking about getting one and learning to play.

[ryanisfootdrums]

It is a Dusty Strings Ravenna 26. The harp with no levers is about 600, and it costs about 500 to get it fully levered. It is a great instrument, being easy to travel with, and it has great tone.

[mlevent00]

I like the way you sing this song and playing the harps too! You are very talented and unique individual! Keep it up!

[ryanisfootdrums]

Thanks mlevent00!

[Harpfairy]

Absolutely astonishing! The sound of harp perfectly points out the melancholy of this song.

[ryanisfootdrums]

:-)

[HaloHarp]

Wow so amazing! I want to try this on my harp now:)

[BadPsyTron]

I just discovered you by the Dream Theater Petrucci Harp thing. That was funny mate :)

I like your harp and singing. This song does something to me. Thanks for sharing.

I bet you made this because of Alexandra right?

[ryanisfootdrums]

Thanks! I don't know what Alexandra is. Enlighten me?

[vanhelsingh1]

I think he means Alexandra the british x-factor winner, who sang this song for her first single.

[Gnarlybenson]

alex was shit like most xfactor winners

[goldenslumbers01]

wow, you are amazingly talented.

[harpgirlie101]

wow thats amazing...could you please make a tutorial or post music for other harpist..cuz i would love to learn it...thanx!!! ive been playing for seven years and i could never sing and play at the same time!!! =]

[HJubb]

hotty, JOKES IM A DUDE! but yeah rock on man

[korkybb]

Watching some of your videoes you are one talented dude keep on rocking

[ryanisfootdrums]

Thank you sir!

[mariogalileo]

Ryan, awesome talent you've got there. But I wonder, if I had an interest in learning the harp whether it be folk or classical, how much would one cost me? If it matters I live in California. Thanks for the awesome music!

[ryanisfootdrums]

Hi there! :) Well my folk harp is 26 strings and has a sharping lever on each string. Getting a fully levered harp such as mine from Dusty Strings cost just over $1000 when all was said and done. If you want to learn classical music you might consider getting a pedal harp. These are typically full size and are what you see played in orchestras. These full size pedal harps are around 42 strings, weigh about 90 pounds, and can cost up to $20,000 to own. Cheers! :D

[dannyaprilmay]

Good song old boy.

[Draxxis22]

Wow... I've never heard someone play the harp before until I saw harpo marx on I love Lucy a few days ago...  I did a search and found this and I think it may be my favourite youtube vid. good job!

[ryanisfootdrums]

Hey thanks! :)

[Alycorne]

Could you please make a tutorial of this song for harpist :)

[Jediscool]

awesome harp btw

and the song is very difficult to sing alone

[bethechangeyouwish2c]

is there anyway you could make the same cover without the words!? i've been looking for JUST the harp cover, and can't find one :-(

[pjc5150]

Beautiful mate!

[Yetizrach]

Good performance.

BTW, you looking quite like Serj Tankjan, you are Armenian, i guess.

Greetings

[Hallucinagene]

Beautiful.

[pnhoogenboom]

Ha, great cover!

And you've got the harp sounding great too(which seems to be a hard thing for most harpists, harp is hard to record)

Hope you like mine too!

Ciao

[timexgoesxon]

[chicagoalmose]

[MaryGreenleaf]

Very nice!

[maplesquirrel]

Do you have sheet music for this? Beautifully played! :-)

[ryanisfootdrums]

No sheet music :) I just looked up the chords online and chose a plucking pattern that I liked :)

[VikingGoddess]

Dammit! >_> Nicely done.

[fsavacado]

very good!

[etnies397]

The lighting makes you look like an angel, lol.

[ryanisfootdrums]

I look like an angel yes, but thats not because of the lighting :)

[etnies397]
