BPK - How to Play China (Tori Amos) Piano/Keyboard

[jrgnsscmn]

@wbarreguy You might need a speaker with a good bass to hear exactly what I mean, but the beats are arranged in threes and she begins to sing on the middle beat each time, I can't even do it while tapping, but with practise it should be possible. Here goes...

[jrgnsscmn]

Though it may be true that songs are living beings, the rhythm of the 5th's in the bass the way Tori plays it has special significance, I think. It's an important part of the essence of the song. It's quite a difficult rhythm.... Just a side note :)

[wbarreguy]

@jrgnsscmn Ok, thank you for sharing.

[AnneNonimous]

you are awesome for doing these. Thank you!

thanks it helped a lot i posted a video response

[RaymanAncel]

I liked theis, but you could always break it down into more than one section so you can slow it down a bit, and have more time for explination, and timeing for combinding left and right hand. I saw it down in a mad world tutorial, just a suggestion.

[jquibbler]

Awesome!! I am going to learn this. How you are able to play by ear.. I will never know that, but it is amazing all the same

[shadesofb]

This is so great. I stopped playing the piano for a while and have forgot a lot.. I really want to play this song in the full.. there were a few parts that I got lost in (and no, i don't mean in mexico) but is it possible to slow down a few parts. I got the beginning part find up until, pour the wine dear.. ett..ectt.. I guess since it's been awhile step by step for each not and measure is important.. if you don't have time to make a new video, i understand! Just thought I'd try..

[wbarreguy]

Thank you. I can't make a new video for it. It's tough to cram everything into the time limits, so I do go quickly since viewers can rewind and pause as is convenient for them. However, I can't go too slow or else the video won't be accepted by youtube.

[character75]

this is effing awesome. :)

[wbarreguy]

Thank you. :-)

Hellow!

Your videos are really great!

Im a tori fan for long now and i would love to play some of her songs. And your videos will help!! thanks for that.

To start i would like to learn something simple but beautifful an therefor i would like to ask if you could put a tutorial for the last part of "Hey Jupiter" (Dakota version) from 05min38sec to the end. So if you have time for that, that would be great.

Keep up the good work! :)

Greatings from belguim!

(sorry for my english)

[wbarreguy]

Thank you. :-)

[dublav19]

this is the most retarded video ever...

[wbarreguy]

You are brilliant.

[pakibukas]

Thank you very much, salamat po(thats another way of saying it).

One suggestion, can you somehow put notes in these videos? that would be awesome.

thanks!

[wbarreguy]

Thank you. I will think about that for future tutorials. That may be helpful.

[xanfan5378]

All I can say is, "Whoa"... I took lessons for a few years and can barely play anything, but after looking at this, the piece doesn't seem all that difficult. Gonna have to try this one on for size very soon. :)

Incidently, not to make requests or anything {as I see, you've done dozens of these things lol}, do you have any idea on how to play Floating City from the infamous "Y Kant Tori Read" record? That's one I'd love to learn how to play personally...

[wbarreguy]

Thank you. I never heard Floating City to be honest, I know a handful of songs from YKTR. I did play Etienne by request but I wasn't planning on playing anything else from it. I may be able to perform the song but it would be hard to make a tutorial for it. I'll have a few more tutorials coming in a few weeks though, for the songs that keep getting requested.

[Lisabet]

Thank you so much for this! :D

I don't really play the piano that much, but thanks to you I can now play both this and Past the Mission. Tori's music is such a big part of my life, and I just wanna tell you how much I appreciate this. ^^ It really would be awesome if you had the time to make some more... I'll be keeping watch! ;)

[wbarreguy]

Thank you for your feedback. I have completed almost all of the covers I intended to set out to do for this season, so this week I have tutorials and a song hunting contest planned. I hope you enjoy the next vids!

[ZeroPointLibra]

Cheers so much! Never played the piano in my life, still cant play china but after watching this one time I can now play the melody with my right hand. You rock, come give me lessons pls omg!

[wbarreguy]

Awesome! I'm glad it helped. It's designed to get anyone into the song so the fact that you can play the melody on the piano now is great to hear. :-)

[ophelianymph]

Thank you so much for this, its really helped me, iv always wanted to play a tori song and now i can thanks to you :) keep up the good work!

[wbarreguy]

You're welcome.

[Stonehengo]

Can u please make a Winter Tori video

[wbarreguy]

I will upload another tutorial soon and then some more afterwards. I'll keep Winter in mind. Thanks.

[CremeLife]

this is just great, I mean you do manage to teach how to play it))

and when you comment on the song, I mean express your ideas concerning the song itself or Tori Amos as an artist you do it so that it blends greatly with the tutorial itself.. I don`t know.. probably some people would like a tutorial pur but I`ve enjoyed this one!

[wbarreguy]

Thank you. :-)

[JessicaClark]

This is so awesome. :) Many many thanks.

[wbarreguy]

[Elihulove]
