[Arush09]

Great job, man. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

[AngelversusAngel]

hey can you please do a turorial for the Best of You cover that Boyce Avenue did??

i wanna do a performance with that song and i cant figure out the notes by ear.

if you do a tutorial like this would help sooooooo much.

[justinodevries]

i used this tutorial ofr some parts of mine and filled them i na bit, mayb a look at mine would help you through further =) but i have to say Carl ur amazing!

[Chalomil95]

dude please make this sonf in midi file and put download link plz :)

[Trewq79]

Ultimately the bridge is played by the same notes this guy is doing, but if anyone wants to know how Boyce Avenue does it exactly on the right hand, it's B, D, A, D, F#, D, B, D, A, D, F#, D, E, D, B, D, A, D, F#, D, B, D, A, D, F#, D, D (Once octave up), D, C# (One octave up). Sounds like a ton of notes i know, but really it's only like 5 different notes and you'll learn how to do it in like 3 minutes haha.

[myloversdevil]

@Trewq79 you nailed that except for one note: after the E there's another F#...so it goes B, D, A, D, F#, D, E, F#, D, B, D, A, D, F#....I'm pretty sure anyway lol

[ViquiiStiilew]

THANK YOU so much for this tutorial

[kevingbernhardt]

THANK F*****ING GOD. I've been looking for sheets, or some sort of key to fifure out how to play their cover of this song. I hate the Katy Perry original, but hey, Boyce Avenue is genius. They turned it into something great...and thank you so much for providing this. Learning it from ear was getting to be a bitch.

[charlotterojas]

I honestly don't know how to thank you for this :}

[LardDude32]

Thanks for this tutorial, Man :)

I was going to figure it out by ear and see what I could pick up from the music video, but you made it a whole lot easier for me, and many others. Many thanks ^^

[webstroy]

thnx for this man your the best.. :)

[reilly9331]

I love this, thank you!!!! :)

Could you do it for the boyce avenue cover of only girl?!

[cecomp64]

@reilly9331 Ooo yea I like that one. I'll give it a shot, got a few things on my plate right now so hopefully soon :)

[hayleystar619]

@cecomp64 yes pleeeeeeease do it because i need to learn it for a music performance haha :)

[melissatanis]

@cecomp64 awesome! thank you! I think it sounds good both ways. and probably your way is better for a higher voice (like mine). This is a great tutorial! thanks for putting it up!

[melissatanis]

I'm actually kinda confused on the chorus part. I watched alejandro play it and during the "my heart stops" part, he plays something different. it looks like he plays an F sharp and an A back and forth and then I couldn't pick out the rest but it sounded different than yours. i don't know, maybe i'm wrong.

[cecomp64]

@melissatanis Yea, you are totally right! I definitely cut some corners :-p. Looking at that again it looks like maybe it's F# and A with G in the octave, then when he switches to A in the left hand octave it sounds kind of like F#, A, D, A, C#, A, C#, D in straight eighth notes.... see how that sounds.

[justinodevries]

@cecomp64 mayb if you want to play it like alejando use he uses F# and A and then G+D and then A+E as octaves it sounds more complete or something amazing how people together can figure out a song now lets figure out that weird fingering part =)

[Loopyjoe19]

Thanks for the tutorial man!

I keep on practising each day, and I'm thinking that I might try and get this done as a recording for my Music GCSE at school if I can find a singer :)

This tutorial is very helpful, and I can play with the song (and on my own) for half of the song so far. And I only started trying on Friday.

Again, thankyou so much for this video. It's a brilliant tutorial for a brilliant song :)

Many thanks ^^

[maryistheish]

This is amazing! You're fantastic! This helped a lot!(:

[DvineDragoon]

Thank you so much for the sheet music. Hard to express how happy I am =] I'm subscribing!

[brie9685]

thank you so much! i have been wanting to learn to play piano for so long! i have only just been able to manage the first verse so far but i will get there. don't worry about the asshole we refer too as filmaddict1983. i think this is just what i needed to learn. thank you!

[cecomp64]

@filmaddict1983 Normally I delete comments like these, but I'm curious 1) How is the cover garbage and 2) How am I selling out? I don't get paid for this and it doesn't go against any of my values. In fact, I kind of like the idea of people having access to free lessons.

[supermoospizza]

@filmaddict1983

ur just probs some fat chick..

[MyBucketList0]

@filmaddict1983 He's not playing Katy Perrys cersion though. He's playing Boyce Avenue. Boyce avenue is the definition of music. look them up. you'll change your ming

[MoonGoddessSerenity]

Thanks for being awesome. I wish my ear was good enough to do this, but alas, it is not. Good thing yours is. Again, thank you so much.

[BoyceAvenueKICKASS]

[tonyalanhammons]

@cecomp64 Hey, this is freaking awesome btw.. I was just wondering if you could email me the sheet music, like if you had time? My Music teacher at school is gonna learn it, and that would be very helpful. I'm kind of doing this at my school's Valentines day program. And she needs the sheet music. Just message me and i'll give you my email if you can help me. Thank you.
