The Fray - You Found Me (Piano Tutorial)

[MrDanielrulesdaworld]

im sorry man but this is really lazy. simple summary of his interpretation of the chorus are the four basic chords that works for any song. try it.

[AaAaAaAaAgGgHhHhH]

hes just trying to teach you...so why did u dislike it

[cockykid1234]

@curtisdabassist Can you read music notes perfectly? I play piano but I can only read the basics.

[holyconnormcdonough]

i can't believe im up at midnight trying to learn this

[reneealls]

how do u play both hands at once like i can do both parts but not at the same time D:

[ssalvas10omstat]

@reneealls I am a beginner and I already can do it, so don't worry and keep going. in my case I practice almost everyday a few minutes and try to improvise with some cords in my left hand and melody with the right one, but only with the white keys. it is easy to make something that sounds fair, and will help to use both hands. give time to it and enjoy the journey hehe

[ferdi200222]

Hey Curtis!

I love this toturial and think it's really great :)

[Sally1382]

I wanna say.. Sooooooooo Thank you

[elementdude18]

Respond to this video...  next time try to put the camera at a birds eye view!! just being helpful!!! :)

[19brookiedancer]

Thanks, this was helpful!

[thavari]

just like the guitar! i'm stupid i should have just trasnfered the notes to the piano! i hate when this happens feel so stupid!

[vivbros]

man this video was great. i mean the chorus is hard for me to play but you explained it really well. thanks for makin this and ur realy good

[AsssshLEYPatty]

Wow you helped me soo much i have been playing the keyboard 7/8 years but i have always wanted to play the piano :) i am going to practice really hard to learn this lol

xxxxx

[curtisdabassist]

@xRelientKrox haha I think I even remember your username! thank you so much for all the nice words!

[mrsryanwolfe]

@curtisdabassist i agree with xRelientKrox and yes, relient k does rock! ive seen them live two times!! :D

[MattSinger16]

what if my fingers are not long enough to do the octave chords appropriately? :(

lol :p

[dessiechong]

fuckkkkkk upppppppppppppppppppppppppppp

[iceblueteriques]

thanks so much. really cool how you learned it all by ear. most sheet music I've seen have the melody in it, and I just wanted the instrumental, so this upload basically answers most of my questions. thanks, and really nice! ^-^

[youwontfindmee]

ahhh! thanks so much :)

[nfsinator]

Jianing

Search

You found me sheet music in google and click on the scribd one

[gp680]

are you sure the the left hand dosnt come in on the F sharp?

[MalamuteBewondert]

TIP: If you don't get the melody search on youtube for: "You found me instrumental". Than click on one of the kareoake songs.

[jianing23]

were can i get the music sheets for this?

[AudioSensation44]

Thanks alot Curtis, say, how long did it take you to play and sing this at the same time efficiently?

[stefanoman117]

nice...liked a lot

[musicman217]

thank you!! you finally helped my figure the timing!

[ilovmyselflol]

I can play both hands but I am having trouble keeping rythm in the right hand any tips?

[gfgood]

do it by it self for a very very very very long time. and just keep practicing. but if you do it by itself enough eventually you wont even think about it, youll just do it

[bigla103]

how much are you selling your hands for?

[pouncer6000]

lol

[thavari]

@bigla103 and his ears too!

[rememberanthony]

sucks

[Karvenate]

sucks that your piano is in the wrong sound format but people dont care! :(

[curtisdabassist]

i am so sick and tired of people saying that. I KNOW

READ THE ANNOTATION AT 0:04. READ IT AND YOU WILL KNOW

[wlhol9]

I was joking...

[wlhol9]

haha

[Lauren95M]

great job :) this is one of the best tutorials for this song i've seen :)

[recontrapachu]

ta gueno! lastima q no entiendo un pedo

me encantaria tocar! tengo piano y todo

lastima q no te entiendo jeje

gracias!

[alvaradoc1464458]

Como que no entiendes ! Nada mas oye las notas que toca el muchacho oyendo las y si lo podras tocar! :)

Cecilia

[bnhy127]

Nice and short perfect vid over all i will subskribe

[morganventer]

great tutorial!! i was going to suggest that in future ones you move a little bit faster instead of going over things so many times, but i can see that your fans are soo many different levels and you did a great job at making it convenient for everyone. Awesome job! I would suggest adding a 5th in the left hand though for some of the octave chords. Keep it up!!

[lafeekaulitz]

thank you VERY MUCH !!!! I love this song and now thanks to you I can play it on my keyboard =) you're a good teacher

[ant1mag3]

thanks bro , your the best.

thanks for making this kind of tutorial.

Thank You Very Much

[curtisdabassist]

yea thanks your comment is shitty as well.

you can laugh all you want about the "amistad" part. you know what? i made this tutorial BEFORE they even recorded the song. i learned it off live videos people posted. at the time it was called "amistad". that was the original name. then they made it "you found me".

still dont believe me? this video was uploaded 9/18/08 (look in the description). "you found me" wasnt released yet.

try reading my annotation before you hate you piece of shit.

[dusfblvbdf]

wOw..

[lilahk101]

@curtisdabassist Excellent comeback!

[FlurriedRains]

Omg this is amazing! I'm currently trying to figure out how to play both the right hand and the left hand at the same time... but other than that I have everything down. Might take a while... this is only my third day playing the piano.

[johhnymack]

[dancer4921]

i seriously need help!!! i know all the keys but...... i cant like play them fast enough or play both the right and the left hands at the right speeds!! AHH!!!! :(:(

[homeschooledmusic]

[curtisdabassist]

HAHAHAHA your fucking hilarious dude.

[piuv2]

[JazziRoxx]

excuse me, but it would be better to put down the notes on the side bar, because most of us really cant be bothered to look back on the video. I didnt mean to seem rude.

thanks fot the video though.

[VampireHeart64]

[curtisdabassist]

[Nmorrison9898]

Dude....thank you...

[heresyourlist]

yo dude just wanted to say thank you. I know the whole song and played it at a talent show to help raise money for a girl in need. so I just wanted to say that I really appreciate it. maybe Ill put it on youtube and you could have a look

[socallove001]

And this is amazing too

[socallove001]

This is really helpful!

[land3bs1]

this is good dude

[Blondesarecute417]

It`s fake because if you look at the keyboard you can see it isn`t on

[curtisdabassist]

lol what the hell? how is this fake? and the keyboard is clearly on it looks white because of the videos bad quality. and why would i fake it? ive got talent and dont need to fake it.

no offence but are u stupid?

[Blondesarecute417]

oh sorry i didnt notice that and by the way no i am not stupid also the song is called yo found me

[curtisdabassist]

lol well thats good. sorry about that.

and yea u are right, when i made this video, the song was originally called amistad but they changed it to you found me. so thats why.

[Bennys101]

lol no its not..coz when he presses the keys..the sound responds exacty to it..

[JustAnAmateurForNow]

So he faked it... He just so happened to find a full video where it stops and continues. Speeds up and slows down. And he practiced it so much that his hands go with every note and sustains perfectly... Riiighhht... You are stupid.

[ryoTdiIN]

Thaks a lot man ....... this is awesome.!

[Supernatrualxx]

Thanks Heaps! :]

[mgm1986]

Thanks man, I got the intro down last night, the timing was the hardest part for me. Next, the rest of the song! Again, thanks for taking the time to put this together!

[puregesture]

you're a very good tutor :D

[argordon8]

Thanks, this helped me a lot!

[cletiger10]

You play it way faster than Isaac does. No good.

[blondkiller0]

ok way to fast and your keyboard is out of tune or somthing

[rcpiano2007]

bass notes are actually in fifths dude

[Essayena]

Fabtastic:]!

How on earth you managed to label those notes verbally so fast is beyond me, I can't read a note of music haha.

I play by ear and muscle movements mainly.

This will be really helpful :] Thankyou!

[DillonB1234]

can someone PLEASE help me!

I mostly learn things by ear but I have trouble nailing the chords. Whenever I try and find a chord to match up with the sound in my head it takes forever to figure it out and it's all just trial and error. There has to be some sort of a faster way?

PLEASE HELP!

[sweethart5349]

he said "i'm gonna teach you how to play 'amistad'" ..that's what the song was called before they actually changed the song to "you found me"..it used to be "amistad(you found me)"

[4wikawika]
