This is beautiful! Wish they did this version on itunes!

[chriscommissomusic]

@TheElizaLama Thanks so much!!!

[mrsring5308]

this is WONDERFUL! so close to the actual piece in the musical. you are gifted!

[chriscommissomusic]

@mrsring5308 Well thank you!!!! I appreciate the kind comment!

[pianoplayer1224]

This is REALLY great! Hence why i'm going to ask you if you have the sheets, and would bother send them to me? i'd be overly happy!

[chriscommissomusic]

@pianoplayer1224 Thanks so much!!! Glad you liked. :) I'd love to send you sheets but I'm an ear player. Learn everything by listening to the recording then making up my own arrangements. Appreciate you stopping by.

[pianoplayer1224]

@chriscommissomusic

Sounds fair :) Do you have any idea of the chords being played? Then i'll figure out the rest ;)

[chriscommissomusic]

@pianoplayer1224 I know I'm starting out in C & then going to an Fmin. That's the pattern that rocks back & forth at the beginning. After that it goes into some strange stuff but I think the bass pattern is F,E D,G. But don't quote me on any of this. :)

[pianoplayer1224]

@chriscommissomusic

Just what i needed! I'll be able to figure the rest i think ;) Thanks man!

[chriscommissomusic]

@pianoplayer1224 You bet! :)

[BabsTurtleGirl]

That is incredible :D

[chriscommissomusic]

@BabsTurtleGirl Thanks Babs!!! I'm glad ya liked. :)

[shinobi7171]

for an original, this is pretty damn good, its clearly obvious that you have musical talent as a composer and a pianist, this is what makes me want to keep pursuing piano, if u could make a score for this, it would be amazing, i would honestly love to be able to play this. awesome job

[chriscommissomusic]

@shinobi7171 Thanks so much!!!!!! Really appreciate your encouraging comment!!!

[MissxxMelissaxx]

can you please do a tutorial on this ???

[titesouris24011992]

[chriscommissomusic]

@ironmaiden096 Thanks!!!! :)

[fred65444]

@chriscommissomusic i saw sweeney todd movie a few days ago and find you very talented teacher are you a piano teacher ? greetings from france

[chriscommissomusic]

@fred65444 A big hello to you in France! Thank you for the kind words! I really appreciate it. No, I'm not a piano teacher. Just a player. I play be ear, so it would be difficult for me to teach. Thanks again for stopping by! :)

[hardcoreXsweetheart]

gorgeous!! you are very talented! may i ask what chords are you using? reckon i could steal them off you? :)

[chriscommissomusic]

@hardcoreXsweetheart Thanks, I really appreciate that!!! :) I'd love to help you with chords but I don't read music. I play strictly by ear. Appreciate you asking though.

[JdeppHatter17]

This is so beautiful!! The music from that movie is amazing ...like you arrangement is :D 

[chriscommissomusic]

@JdeppHatter17 Thanks so much!!! :)

[JdeppHatter17]

@chriscommissomusis you are very welcome! in fact, could I use this for the voice cover I am hoping to do...if I can ever find the time and if I credit you of course?! =]

[itako9]

amazing ^-^

[chriscommissomusic]

@itako9 Thanks!!!! :)

[SweeneyToddInc]

Absolutely amazing! You really have a talent!

[chriscommissomusic]

@SweeneyToddInc Thanks so much!!!!! :)

[secretsquirrellurve]

He didn't miss bits out persay; as he says it's his original arrangement and I love it, it works just right as a piece this way and not disjointed at all, very fluid and I love listening to your interpretation! xx

[chriscommissomusic]

@secretsquirrellurve Thanks for the kind words. So glad you liked!!! :)

[coconutponi]

You did skip the second part of the second verse, but other than that it is beautiful!!

[coconutponi]

I LOVE this! Only one problem, you did skip a bit of a verse after the "not to worry, not to worry" part, the part where he sings "Bein' close and bein' clever aint like bein' true..." If you were to re do it with that part in there it would be perfect. It is so beautiful!

[chriscommissomusic]

@coconutponi Thanks for the kind words & I'm so glad you liked! :) Yeah, if I remember correctly, I skipped the part after the verse to make the song a little shorter for youtube. I wont get in the habit of that cause I know people want to hear the song in its entirety. Anywho, thanks again for stopping by!

[xannnao]

This is love.

[chriscommissomusic]

@xannnao You're very kind. Thank you. :)

[moeltoft]

Hey! :) You say you're an ear-player, and can't help if someone wants to learn this song.

But you could make a 'How to play - Not While I'm Around - Sweeney Todd cover', where you film a video with you saying what to do..!

Just an idea from a girl who really loved this, and wants to learn it sooooo bad! :)

Please think about it.. haha

-Emilie :)

[chriscommissomusic]

@moeltoft Thanks Emilie & I certainly will think about that! :) I'm glad you liked my cover. I've been so busy with life in general I haven't been able to focus a lot of attention on tutorials, but I'll see what I can work up. Thanks for writing!!!

[moeltoft]

@chriscommissomusic You're welcome..

And sure, you don't have to make the vid now. haha :)

It was just if you were borred one day, then you could do it..

But either way it's still amazing, I've been listening to it all day! haha :)

[ghale94]

@chriscommissomusic PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL! THIS IS AMAZING!

[xxxyessxxx]

Absolutely LOVED it! Don't you ever stop!

[chriscommissomusic]

@xxxyessxxx Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[raynaramiara]

[Lolipielolipie]

I love what you did with the song. U are amazing playing by ear! I was just trying to do exactly the same with this song and this helped a lot! Thanks! And great job!

Btw, how long did it take u to make the song?

[chriscommissomusic]

@Lolipielolipie Thanks so much!!! I really appreciate the kind words. :) This was a fairly easy song to work up...took about ten minutes or so to make sure I had the melody correct.

[Lolipielolipie]

@chriscommissomusic 10 min!? You HAVE to be kidding me! that's like three times the actual song xD wow.. i just got depressed.. xD

It always amazes me the standard that people who play by ear play to, I always felt insecure about my ear so I use chord symbols or music, very well done.

Beautiful performance, though. Thank you for the upload.

[veronicamarsLoVe]

Okay, I understand! Thanks for sharing your talent. Could I rip it with audacity and put it on my ipod, just for personal use, please?

[chriscommissomusic]

Yeah, no problem.  I appreciate you asking. :)

[SirEagle2]
