[Elisabethmaria4]

Wat je met je rechterhand doet staat in mijn muziekboek, maar nu kan ik ook de linkerhand erbij spelen. Dat klinkt veeeeeeeeeel mooier. Thx!!!

[loosselipps]

[OwNaGeMD3000]

i cant stop laughing when you say chords. no offence.

[dr3ggon]

[KirstenXnetsriK]

What was the last chord?!

[ThiiefGirl]

Thankyouu,, you are amazing!

[Didsuk]

More common easier version in my channel guys

[thechruncherify]

[natalkats]

[TheSUSANNA2000]

GOOD TUTORIAL!!!thank you very much

[GrimeInItHard]

[aRedRubber]

@TeamYellowBear well since he's making a tutorial he's obviosly wanted to make it as simple as posible

[aaazafina]

what was the song in the beginning?? amazing tut btw!

[superlinxy]

GREATTTTT!!!!!! <3



[GirlGamerGeek]

This is a piano tutorial. This guy is doing you a favour by showing you this song. Surely there's no need to pick on him for his accent and waste your time correcting him on it? No doubt you say some words wrong, too. Get over yourselves and enjoy the goddamn tutorial, sheeeesh.

[jorisdeman96]

En nu in het Nederlands ;) misschien dat je dan meer likes krijgt ;)

[fabiandevries]

@jorisdeman96 Zou je denken ;-)?

[SingSongMimes]

its pronounced kords

[clarissasobocinski8]

thanks a looot!

[Anthony27101]

Remember you say chord as "kord"

[LaurenLovesTimmyTime]

could you post like the notes that you play in the intro, chorus and verses. its hard to play and look at what you do at the same time, and sometimes i dont know what you play?

[fabiandevries]

@LaurenLovesTimmyTime I could but then you wouldn't learn a lot from it. Look at the chords, the notes with the left hand are in the same scale. And you can always write them down on paper if you want =), that's much more profitable than looking a gift horse in the mouth ;D. Good luck =)!

[HipHopBoyy95]

chord is pronounced cord :P

[a4482921]

i got piano class



[Jamzilla77]

what voice is that?



[Jodina1995]

Emm, stupid question but what are the chords for the left hand for "this is the greatest story that i ever known" bit. Im like O_O since i only do the simple 4 chords throughout the song ^^;

[LoveAffleck]

Please make a tutorial of 'I need to know' by Kris Allen:-)

[Frankie1994d]

Wow can you please send me the sheet music :D xx

[OhhHaiiiThere]

[Littlemissworsfold]

[psnlova]

[SirSaavedra]

[fabiandevries]

@SirSaavedra I'm almost sure the sheets are on Scribd, but since I want to know that I give them personal (at least via mail), I only give my copy of the sheet music via mail.

[millionendollarboy]

Thank you so much! It was really helpful!

[fabiandevries]

@millionendollarboy And thank you as well :-)! I hope you'll play the song with much happiness and joy now =)!

[TheBasketball456]

hahahahahahaha at how you say chords hahahahahahaaha

[fabiandevries]

@lisaatje2003 Hoi! De intro hoor je op het begin, en van 2:02 tot 2:20 is de samenvatting. En helaas snap ik jouw tweede vraag niet helemaal :O.

[fabiandevries]

@999guys I'm indeed Swedish or Danish or Norwegian or German or Polish or something like that yea xD. Nah, I'm Dutch :-). My accent is horrible, aye :-P?

[Georgenate13]

Much help , but it's pronounced cords :)

[fabiandevries]

@Georgenate13 I knohohoooowwww :P

[indiacraigharvey]

I think this is great for helping me with the piano.

India

[SRanbowOps]

its a minor, not a flat buddy.

[fabiandevries]

@SRanbowOps Wops! My mistake! Good that you noticed it :-)!!

[SRanbowOps]

@fabiandevries it's just one of those things that bugs me, because flat and minor have completely different meanings. A flat is well...a major chord a half step below A, a minor....that's the right chord! :P

[MissMovieMaker12]

Keep them going i found these really helpful!

[fabiandevries]

@MissMovieMaker12 That's really good to hear :-)!

[bigmusic97]

@fabiandevries man ik probeer dit de hele tijd maar het werkt niet en ik moet het morgen op school klassikaal doen :(

[ThemFreshVenomz]

best intro of mika happy ending respect

[emmen091]

ty from switzerland

[ThemFreshVenomz]

what are chords??

[jimmy18jim]

@ThemFreshVenomz

C G Am F

[RosannaMariie]

do you have the sheet music please?

this is amazing but the sheet music would be much appreciated! xx

[PopTVTeacher]

Good tutorial but it's not in the original key.

[Bolla99]

Hell YeaH! Nice Flip Flops, Bro! :D [good tutorial, well done!]

[fabiandevries]

@BrittanyTrask1 If you have trouble following them (I explained them several times in comments, it doesn't work and people keep asking, but that aside), you should contact me via mail (or send me a pm with a mailaddress) and I'll send you the sheets, so you can look it up for yourself. The sheet music contains the chord symbols and is very easy to learn.

[EAMAJine]

that was terrible you didnt even teach how to play the song you just taught the chords and some of it and then you played the rest really fast...

[fabiandevries]

@EAMAJine That's not true, since I first taught the chords, then the intro, followed by the vocal line. But the vocal line (I explain that at 3:30) is simple since it's directly taken from the chords you've learned before. So it should give you more insight on how to play it. You can also always repeat certain parts of the film. I hope this helped :)!

[lau77re]

It is beautiful, I will receive my piano next week and I hope I will play that!! Mika is a genius, he has the sound in the ears! I don't know if we say that in English, but he has a real talent!!!

Hope I can play this song as you, lol! :)

[fabiandevries]

@lau77re Yes, Mika is a really good artist! And ofcourse you will play it like me, or even wayyy better :-D! I'm sure of that ^^!

[RanebowSmile]

Wrong key, but good work!

[pianochick1000]

hello, i love this tutorial it is very good. i can oly not figure out what you do with your right hand from 4:28 to 4:40 can you please tell me

thank you:)

[tintsap]

[alfiealfonzo]

hi can you tell me piano music tutorial of "over my shoulder" which is at the end of happy ending.

[ichliebekahty]

what chords should I use in the second part?

(... This is the hardest storry that i ever told ....)

thx .. Kathy (:

[fabiandevries]

@ichliebekahty

Actually you use the same chords I say at the very beginning :-D! So those are C, G, Am, F.

Have fun ^^!

[GorgieBoy94]

actualy (chords) not Kords lol!

[MrsBingxx1]

Hi can you message me the melody please as well as the chorus

[fabiandevries]

@MrsBingxx1

I can, but: message me instead with your mail address and I'll send the sheets to you ;-)!

[wuissal]

i try to play the vocal part with the chords in the following order : am- g - f and c but it's not beautiful like when you play the vocal parts have you change the chors to the vocal parts in the video ?

ps : sorry for the mistakes but i'm french and i'm not realy good in english

[fabiandevries]

@wuissal Do you mean beautiful as in: the chords don't match, or does the chords sound different (as a tune) on the video? In that case, it's just a setting of the keyboard :-)!

[08funni]

lol ccchhhords : D x

[belllawrie]

you use different chords for the vocals part???

what are they?

[fabiandevries]

@belllawrie

The intro has 4 chords in the following order: C - G - Am - and F.

The vocals part also has 4 chords in the following order: Am - G - F - and C.

I hoped this helped you :)! If it's still unclear to you, feel free to PM me with a mailaddress so I can mail you the sheet music :-)! Good luck and have fun ^_^!

[Gummetjuh]

[fabiandevries]

@luckmaqz05 If you would PM me then with you mail address I can send em to you :)!

[NoLax33]

very nice!

i like it...

[fabiandevries]

@NoLax33 Kewl :D!

[MrBetian]

to fast mate

[fabiandevries]

@MrBetian Oh damn mate... better you play it slower then ;)!

[crazykillerpanda63]

wrong key.

[fabiandevries]

No shit sherlock, I've done that because it's easier to play it then.

[crazykillerpanda63]

@fabiandevries okay but its off key, if someone, say me who was playing this by listening to the song, went to this tut you would screw them up. I just wanted to see the variation in the second part and its in C# not C.

[fabiandevries]

@crazykillerpanda63 Hmm okay true. But that's for themselves to find out right? I'm to provide the song, and I think I stated it somewhere.

Oh and about the C# thingie, I think it's clearly in the C chord base, so C G Am and maybe AM7/G... C# would sound very dissonant ;o. Maybe do-able in the correct setting tho. But again that's not what this tutorial is about, but thanks for sharing the info :)!

[chennaprateep]

hmm the left hand was a bit different at times at the second bit i think, but u didnt mention which CHords u used :P

[fabiandevries]

Could be, I like to variate my play from time to time :). But it's hard to edit this video now innit :P? So oh well... if you don't get it, you can always mail me and I can send you the sheets!

[greavesiee]

innit pronounced cord not CHord

[fabiandevries]

Yes, and it's been said a million times already. ;o

[Rickystrikes]

Very helpful! Thanks!

[fabiandevries]

@Rickystrikes Ur welcome ^^! Have fun with the song aye :)!

[Leonie26ful]

thank you:)

[fabiandevries]

@Leonie26ful You're welcome ^^! Hope it helped!

[rarwtrisha]

hey, thanks for the upload! (: sure hope i can learn from this

[fabiandevries]

@rarwtrisha Most welcome rarwtrisha =D! I sure hope as well you do :D!

[annriley23]

i love your hands & finger! :D

[fabiandevries]

@annriley23 Thanks ^_^ Any finger in particular :P? xD

[annriley23]

especially forefinger and middle finger ;)

[crazygang225]

i swear those are two different people playing!!!

the trousers legs re a different colour!!!

[fabiandevries]

@crazygang225 I swear to you I like to change pants!

That's a lie xD

Nah, it's really me :O sorry :)

[Winesity]

you have a nice sounding keyboard

[fabiandevries]

@Winesity Thanks :)! It's even better irl!! It's the Roland EM-20 :D An older model of Roland, but really really good still ^^

[cookiemonster28287]

this is fantastic, i have look for ages to find this song, i love it, and now ill be able to play it!! yayy =) thanku xx

[fabiandevries]

@cookiemonster28287 Haha kewl :D! (psst I also have the sheets if you want ;P). Just mail/pm me :).

And thank you as well ^^!

[flamefox2626]

you're playing it in the wrong key. you're flat by one semitone

[fabiandevries]

Yup! Very good of you that you've noticed.

But, I have a explenation why I did that: if make it correct I would've played a lot of # / b and would be more 'difficult' to learn. So I tried to pitch it a bit.

[iloveDegrassi100]

Thanks soooooooooooooooo much.

I'll have to watch it again to get down the fast part but thanks anyway! :D

[asdf81073]

Nice!!! it really helps...

[Winesity]

Thanks, I loved this tutorial. I have been looking forever for Mika tutorials, and this is the first good one I've found. Some of it was kind of fast, so I had to watch it a few times before I got all the noted, but I'm giving you a five anyways for excellence. I don't think you have much of an accent anyways, people are critical. You just say ch ords because that's how fancy piano people talk! :)

[Maddie81000]

Hey good job :) you are a really good teacher! :)

[fabiandevries]

Well thank you :D! Such compliments thrills me :D!

[NiamhElstone7]

thanks my homework just made easier 4 stars cuz i hate ur accent haha jokes :P

[fabiandevries]

Lazy ass! Couldn't you do it by yourself ;D? *joking*

Pff just admit it you gave me 4 stars :P!!

[NiamhElstone7]

yeah i did uz i hate ur accent :S

[HarryPotterPower]

u maakt piano spelen nog leuker dan dat het al is:D:D:D

bedankt voor uw hulp

[fabiandevries]

Zeg maar 'je' hoor ;)! And you're very welcome :)!

[jlbmjm00]

Thank youu!

:)

[fabiandevries]

And also thank you, for watching my video :D!!

[needyu]

u really have piano hands!!!

that makes me think that u have natural talent !!!

[fabiandevries]

Haha thanks xD!

I'm really honoured that you said that ^^!

[teenshow]

Where can I get notes of this song?

[fabiandevries]

From me, if you ask me very politly if I can mail them to your address, it would be my pleasure ;)!

[Ellozpplz]

Ok i play this but i am not as good as you n i wish i had piano hands like you :)

[fabiandevries]

Aww but even without 'piano hands' you can do it just fine, I'm sure of that :D!

And practise makes perfect :).

And thank you :D!

[carsonl94]

What tone is your keyboard set on when you play this song?

[fabiandevries]

Soft electronic piano (SoftEP, nr 15 on the Roland EM-20) :D!

[oconnormeister]

LOL - i love your accent or whatever - ch-ord LOL

[fabiandevries]

Uhh well.. thank you :) I presume :P xD

[DavidBkacketer]

thanks for teaching the song. your a good teacher ;)

[fabiandevries]

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that ^_^!

[davilo96]

can you explain a little more the second part ?? please

[fabiandevries]

The second part is more the vocal part. So what I do is playing the chords (the 4 you learned) with my left hand and the vocal line from Mika with my right hand. I cannot tutorial that part because it'll be a véry long tutorial, but maybe you can see in the video how I play it? And besides that it isn't all that difficult, its a lot of repeatance :D! Good luck! I hope this helped!
