Try pausing at every cupple of notes, and do them on your piano. After that i suggest you could work your way through this lovely song! It's time consuming, but worth it in the end :P
I'm having trouble looking at your hands. I can't find middle C and it would be better if you put the camera closer or at least added the A-G notes by taping them. Otherwise it was good listening to this
your tutorial is my favorite:) it works with me. i can read music.. rather well but i dont love it. i like more by ear better. and its wonderful for me to just listen too you play WHILE i watch you hands move. it helps ALOT:) thanks:)
i have seriously replayed the video eighteen times to learn the first five seconds of the song...the rest of the "tutorials" online are just computers playing them...no notes, no walkthroughs, nothing. its bullshit.
hey could you by chance put the notes and chords up for the first chorus please? im trying to figure it out but i'm having a hard time. please and thank you! :)
wow, it's really good. I really appreciate it. My friend's been asking me to learn it so I can play and she can sing it! =) anyways, thanks for making a tutorial!!
@juul094 It's just the transition into the chorus. I didn't skip any notes or anything, but it probably looks that way from the way I edited the video. If you need a point of reference, try watching the full speed version i uploaded. :)
@crazyislandchick i tried to post a video response of me playing this song... i learned it from this tutorial and i just wanted to share it to show my thanks for teaching me :)
The notes are pretty clear, and the video was helpful. Just follow the fingers it's really not that hard. Thanks for this video, I can play it pretty well now! :)
So...this is good..but im havinga little trouble with the part inbetween the first chorus and the second verse. Can anyone help me out there...that'd be great. Thanks.
@intergalacticamirah Thanks. Making this video was very hard, took a VERY long time and many many takes to get it just to this quality. I figured it was better than nothing, and I appreciate all the people who actually do understand that fact. :)
this video help me a lot.. by slowing it down its easier to follow, disregard the missing part, i cant understand those people who cant catch up w/ this video, complaining complaining and asking for chords... you guys try to focus very well patience can lead you to success.
Thank u soo much but the problem is your left hand i can't see em is too dark!!! but i got the most of the versee from you... soo thanks once again..!!
can you make the tutorials with you saying the notes and how to play it? This is really good, the best ive seen, but i cant keep up with ur hands. Sorry, but appreciate it!
I disagree. I find that very helpful. playing it slow and being able to see what she can play was extremely helpful. :) i could play it and i've never played piano. ha! :D
do you happen to have the sheet music for this song even though i dont see notes on your music sheet. its just hard for me to tell which notes your hitting, and im terrible at playing by ear. I would appreciate it very much, Thanx.
Note of advice, film the video from over-head at the center of the piano/keyboard. It's somewhat hard to distinguish which notes you are pressing or not pressing.
I would have, but I forgot my crane that day. I also tried to ducktape the video tripod to the ceiling, but it kept falling down....this was the only way. *rolls eyes*
Some people find it easier to play by Ear than others. Basically, you listen to the song, while trying to play it. Obviously you have no music, so you have to try and work out what is being played! It's not easy! But can be done! As shown in the video.
If I tried to read this song I'd be playing it 90% slower than this.. but I can listen to it 4-5x's and go sit down and play the whole song (maybe not every note flawless). I don't need a piano in front of me while listening, I can hear the song in perfect key in my head, God given talent. BUTTT... I don't think I can EVER learn to read I tried for years. So yes you're right
You did great ! Thanks for the help , now i have to try to see what you're doing with your left hand . xDD - i got the right hand notes down & done . ;DD
Anyone can learn the piano if they have the drive or passion. I'm actually not very good at the piano in general... I can't read music, barely know what the notes are called, and have just recently learned the basic chords, but I LOVE playing so much, I found a way to play, and that is through hours of watching other people play, or picking through the notes one by one and playing "by ear." Don't be discouraged to give it a try if that's what you really want.
oh!! widowing?! i had taken piano lessons but stopped!! and came back after listening to bella's lullaby!! and i learned and actually performed river flows in you by watching other people!! i love to play the piano..i have the passion even though i dont have the complete skills!!! we are the same...can u make other tutorial?? like kiss the rain by yiruma?? i love it!! great job! -rocelle :D ^,.,^
