How to Play the Entertainer (easier) on Piano

[mirrorbiker1]

what are the key notes

[MrAlekz]

i used to be able to play this simple version well, i kind of can still, even though i haven't played the piano in several years

[MAS7AJAMES]

This video is helping me soo much! I must thank you for taking the time to show me and every else how to play this song. Even though you simplified the left hand, it is still a pain in the butt for me though, but it would have been a lot longer for me to have learned it the original way!

[ethanrs10]

i cant get the right fingers!

[abc123BIACH]

thanks this really helped me i still cant play the left hand tho lol

[mikedrk]

Most people who know how to play the piano well like you that I know usually look down their nose at people like me(who never found the discipline to learn piano fully). You not only broke down this piece into tolerable little bits for us, but actually simplified it too. And on top of this, did not explain it in a patronizing way. I just wanted to say thanks.

[jmgamer42]

i love your username

[davidcrdz1966]

Thank you for taking the time to lay this out. It is simple and easy to understand. I have wanted to learn to play The Entertainer for a long time and you have given me a great foundation...Thank you!

[PjLightning10]

i could under stand this my mom ecpects me o play this and im only 9

[625088]

IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT NOTES YOU PLAY OR IN WHAT WAY YOU PLAY THEM . MUSIC HAS NO RULES AT ALL AND IF U GUYS THINKK THAT WELL THEN WOW YOU GUYS DONT KNOW HOW MUSIC ORIGINALLY STARTED. BY MISTAKES. BUT THIS GUY HAS TALENT AND TO TRY TO TEACH ALL U HARD HEADS IS ANOTHER THING SO APPRECIATE THIS VIDEO.

[alekol88]

i'm sorry but you should learn it yourself before you start to teach it somebody. that's not very good. sorry again =/

[tinyo95]

Magad. you're playing the whole thing wrong -.-

[TheNialls]

The beginning of the melody is not C D Dsharp E it's D Dsharp E u moron try to get real piano lessons because the melody is supposed to be D D# E. C E C E C C D D# E C D E B D C. And so on and so on

[TrollFun4ever]

plays to fast for me at 2:17 - 2:29 T_T

[TrollFun4ever]

plays to fast for me at 2:10 - 2:22 T_T

[Supergamebattleproof]

you are playing the incorrect notes in this piece.

the left hand is wrong. =D

[shizomanyak]

Thank you very much. Your video is only that help me a lot

[SteveD1008]

Amazing video. I have no piano experience and can only play Halloween and the Godfather. Yet I was able to learn the melody of the entertainer with two hands in 20 minutes and with one hand in two days. Now I'll try to learn the rest. Thanks!

[TheNERFDUDE97]

thanks so much i suck at keyboard but this really helped

[scibblo]

@TheNERFDUDE97 Man, it's all right; when I was little, I wanted to be a prodigy SO badly. But that would've never happened if I couldn't get all the hand stuff right and I could only play Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star on a LITERAL toy piano xP How many songs can you play?

[TheNERFDUDE97]

@scibblo i can only really play riffs like stand buy me crazy frog omen and of course fur elise but that is mainly it

[NewTechRoblox]

I have that same keyboard lol

[bunnyman47]

Wow... Everyone who insulted that guy are douches...

[whatsun1209]

Guys I know your not trying to be mean.but this sounds awesome!

[shelby3372]

You keep messing up alot...

[yadi1243]

f every one else that was f ing awesome i learned how to ply thx

[Kayeenaaa]

sorry, but your fingering is way off, your left hand isn't exactly accurate. i know it's simplified but you made it in such a way, that it doesn't sound RIGHT :S

[Schipp72]

Try playing an A instead of a B on the basic melody

[jdrum12]

thanks - very helpful

[ghandtz]

that sounds like a farm song i think the other way sounds better

[HyperGoeffel]

@ghandtz maybe 'cause ist an easier version? .. obviously ist doesn't sound as great as the original

[samtheyankeefan]

After a bit of practice, the hard way is actually really easy to do. I can almost do it without looking...

[cpsrisri123]

aw theres an easier way?! ive been teaching myself to play the hard way and it took forever!! well its worth it, and now i can play two ways! yay!

[BeccaandBri]

this tutorial taught me how to play :D

[willy1508]

hahaha! you got phat hands ;P

[sampsin]

i have that exact keyboard....the sound iz really impressive for it being from radio shack

[bayabean]

what key are you playing in? that's not the original key...

[momolaxo23]

@bayabean

that is the original key

[hiyawdc2009]

u do it to fast u have to giv us a wile to pik up how to do the first couple of bits

[BalleIsBalle]

It would be a better tutorial if you actually could play it right. You're hitting the wrong notes. Thats the facts.

[matthiaspiano97]

bevor man es reinstellt sollte man es spielen können

[guitarpro72]

LOL STILL HARD

[ILisa98]

[cherrychic22]

[foxie175]

[bannanas54321]

i think i know an easier easier way. lol my piano teacher taught me. it was real easy

[LexzieGirl]

Thanks so much! My son is just learning the song, and it was a great help! =D

[Tarmack002]

almost as easy as chopsticks....

[Paintphotoshop]

@People in general: I read some comments AND YOU KNOW WHAT? FUCK YOU. This guy is trying to help us and u treat him like if he was crap. You are really really ungrateful and horrible. Btw, this video is very good. So, if you dont like it, DONT WATCH IT. SIMPLE LIKE THAT. But dont comment shit. If u believe that u play that well, wth do u see tutorials?

@egyptiansushi Thank u for the vid u helped me a lot! =) u have my support

[Kezzap48]

TAKE OFF your Brace before start m8

[Gotaltitudewii]

thats not the entier song

[violetstorm45]

why the hell do ppl feel the need to put their insignificant two cents in when folks share things online? TUTORIALS, you say that ur not tryin to be mean, but simply saying that ur not being, is in fact being mean. EISKALT123...Nice try?.... u feel that u play the piano better than EGYPTIANSUSHI, but was it really necessary for you to post such a negative comment when the guy is only trying to share something that he loves with the rest of the world? Un-fucking-believable!!

[shielld1]

i have upload videos xd

but i erase them

[muchmoredots]

this is ok but the melody is wrong in many places and i know because i can play the original

[gabo694]

fat hands lol

[egyptiansushi]

@gabo694 your hands are very beautiful in comparison. I can tell by your videos. Your hands are wonderful! Whoa!!!

[patrickjf100]

@egyptiansushi good self-sytem



[Eiskalt123]

nice try to help others for learning the entertainer but you take the wrong fingers for the notes (sry for my english)

the point is: if you take the wrong fingers you have to jump all the time. with a better assignment its much easier to play

[egyptiansushi]

@Eiskalt123 When you play with the correct fingers in a video, it is impossible to see the notes because the hands are blocking them.

[blehhhhh1]

strait



[honortheallies]

LOL

dont take it personally man xD

but you helped me win our schools talent show!

hahaha u rock, favorited

[shielld1]

LOL

dont take personally man xD

but learn how to play the song before you upload the video (:

[egyptiansushi]

@shielld1 don't take it personally but upload videos before you criticize others' xD

[tutorials4urcomputer]

I'm not trying to be mean but there is sheet music and you dont use only 2 fingers

[egyptiansushi]

@tutorials4urcomputer When you play with the correct fingers in a video, it is impossible to see the notes because the hands are blocking them!

[tutorials4urcomputer]

@egyptiansushi true that makes sense lol

[flaco744]

@tutorials4urcomputer y quien no sepa leer partituras como yo?? yo toco desde 17 años de oido y nunca me e puesto a intentar leer partituras, en realidad esto biene bien a principiantes, les va dando una idea de como van las manos concordando en los tonos pero solo principiantes!!!!!!!!! ami por ejemplo esto ya no me vale por que e alcanzado un nivel superior, y no lo digo por despreciar el video del compañero egyptiansushi (alias elton jhon pero mas gordo y mas feo XDXDXD) que cabron que soy

[pinkcarnationdaisy]

I LOVE IT!! Thanks so much for slowing down the process so i can learn this song, i play strickly by ear, and dont know names for lots of notes, what keys are g7, and c7, and f miner, i i know you showed us all on the video, but if i have some of this stuff written down i can go back to it every time i need it, i want to learn to play this song, i cant read music, but i listen and after awhile i can play the song, please help me, thanks.

[MrVerong69]

I think you did pretty good!

[ChangeThePicture]

Thanks dude

[xpucu1996]

wow that helped me a lot

[Cheese3300]

@xpucu1996 if your being sarcastic your fine, but if your not then go fuck yourself.

[Cheese3300]

WOW, your an idiot.

The left hand part is not complicated at all, in any way.

Besides your using one finger on each hand and your using the left hand in the right hand part. that's just a very, stupid, slow way of playing The Entertainer.

You just messed up the song you son of a bitch.

[egyptiansushi]

@Cheese3300 1) Why are you so angry?

2) What about swearing would get your point across? Do you trust people's opinions who call you an SOB?

3) If you know how to play it so well, why are you looking up instructional videos?

[strafer]

@egyptiansushi He's irrelevant. I just delete comments like that on my channel.

[egyptiansushi]

@strafer yep. I don't care enough to delete him, just silly.

[MrJackanthony]

@egyptiansushi Dude. dont u see Cheese3300 is suffering from chronic brain damage:) YOu teach well. Do you also know to play the more complex version?

[tutorials4urcomputer]

@Cheese3300 Rude much? someone is a braty snob!

[silentalarms13]

mistakes

[lotud8]

@silentalarms13 why the hell are you looking at a tutorial video to say there are 'mistakes" of which i see none. YOu must play really great considerign you are searching tutorials for the song.

[29thShoelace]

5:12 (sorry, just for my own use, so I can click on where I want to be).

[ADELANTEalex180]

1 thing the second in the main tune goes line goes D D# E C E C E C A G Gb A C E D C A D as do all lines start D D# E C E C E C otherwise great

[Cheese3300]

@ADELANTEalex180 Are you serious?

This is shit!

[ADELANTEalex180]

@Cheese3300 nope its the corect way

[stixdiamond]

ignore the negative comments. it helped me 2 go on + learn the full version. thanx m8

[mayguan]

do you got 'part 3', I have onl part 1 and part 2 on my sheet.

[mayguan]

that's interesting. I got a sheet music with another easy version, but not the same.

[spyridon77]

good job! thank you for posting this.

5 stars

[TheMirageProductions]

this tutorial fucked me p to learning the ACTUAL version. delete the video. ur gonna fuick up a loooot of people man

[FlesjesMetWater]

yeah only thing you do is shift an low octave up wich makes the whole song less 'entertaining'

[stingfederal]

Thank you man! Your video is really of a great help to me

[balotelliable]

you a idiot dont play the piano IDIOT fuck mother

[egyptiansushi]

You're an idiot. Don't try to speak English. IDIOT motherfucker.

[JovinceProductions]

[xXbobXx19088]

I can't tell if your a beginner or if your just poop you need alot of work on this piece before you put a tut about it on YouTube I can play the full version both hands almost full speed just practice 1-2 hours a day

[JamesBrant18]

@xXbobXx19088 ...so you come one here and brag about it...good job you wanker

[unemofied]

Your hand position is absolutely horrible :[ and You made a lot of mistakes :(

[egyptiansushi]

if you had good hand positions then you wouldn't be able to see the keys.

[Sharimax42]

@unemofied Exactly, that is why he is holding his hands the way he is SO YOU CAN SEE. GET IT?

[Revanchist8525]

omg his fingerings are so unfitting for the intro

[KittyKetsRustyGrass]

nervous??

[vtucsek77]

[tomhunter0]

Ignore that idiot take masu45, i think you did an amazing job. Thanks man :) faved 5/5

[egyptiansushi]

You're right, your video is much better. My apologies.

[egyptiansushi]

Instead the gap in your life is filled by insulting random YouTuber's videos for no reason?

[egyptiansushi]

so you agree that this is what is filling the gap in your life.

[egyptiansushi]

So... you do agree, then, that this is what is filling the gap in your life.

[egyptiansushi]

Basically, then, this is what is filling the gap in your life.

[takemasu45]

No.

[SLADDKY]

Its holy shit, play normal enterteinter by joplin and learn fngering (sorry for my eng).

[daneshawsontv121]

the left hand is harder than the right

[ayaLOVEnick]

thanks a lot

^-^v

[ContestX]

Dude nice job on the explanitation. And great job on showing the keystrokes.

[ContestX]

Hey all you people who say this guy sucks, and espically if you can't play it yourself BACK THE FUCK OFF. He's tryin to help you and you leave gay ass comments. I'd laugh if you were tryin to help someone out and they throw it back in you face.

[surfr4lifelilly]

gaywad

[egyptiansushi]

So?

[tellyouwhatG]

holy fucking shit you suck major ballsacks

[egyptiansushi]

Eh, only one really. Otherwise my boyfriend might get jealous.

[TheNachoKat]

Your reply to that guy got me giggling, heh. ^^ Nice job on the easy way to play this song, got me playing it right(finally!).

[BenjyMehCohen]

[water1361]

A little shakey.

[RikkiRayNine69]

i wish i had a paino

[th3p1anist]

You can always buy a ceyboard. It costs about 200-800€. :)

[water1361]

yaaaaa

[NeenxXxGuareen]

i play it differently, i go

D D# E B E B E B (b on the right of e) A G F# A C E D E if u get it lol

[Simo2009BORO]

that should be D D# E C E C E C

[egyptiansushi]

did you really think i didn't know either of those things?

[alan838]

hey,,, bravo,, i like the way you explained it... i'll try it,, and when i learn it good, i'll put a response to your video,, so you can hear it.. thanks bro.

[benismad123]

[Simo2009BORO]

its A G F# A C E D C A D

[stefanodance990]

kool im learning that

[killingangel707]

lol what kind of fingering is that?

[christaleschert]

Oh what ever at least it sounds right, the fingering doesn't change the sound of the song

[steph5504]

Kool!! :)

I played that song last year at piano lessons!

[Porabany]

What keyboard model you got?

[egyptiansushi]

casio wk-1630. cheapish

[lyricalstaduuz]

...why is everyone swearing? O-o

[egyptiansushi]

same

[Taraborn]

WHAT A STEAMING PILE OF SHIT

[irockalwayz]

hey the last note on the left hand after C-G- and then...? what is it???

[commandrinchief]

rofl attackelves2 you're my hero dude

[AttackElves2]

thats good to know :]

[domaataajs]

There is no Do (C) at the beginning of the main theme. It goes re, re(diez), mi, do.. I don't know who taught you to play (maybe it's the american way), but your playing style is messed up and painful to watch.

I'm sorry, but this version just ruins the original, but thumbs up for trying.

[AttackElves2]

ye i know

he fucking sucks at the piano

this is terrible playing

[AttackElves2]

the left hand on the original isnt "really complicated"

you just suck at the piano

the simplified version is for people who think this song is cool and they learn it and play it in front of their friends at school and they all say "thats so cool!"

this is all happening while 8 year olds are playing concertos n' what not

u fucking suck dont just learn gay easy songs and play em all the time

its fucking gay

besides this version sounds like shit

i played the original before and its fuckin awsome

[egyptiansushi]

I'm also gay. So?
