  • Very nice. I'm going to be learning this song now, first time I havent played soemthing coldplay other than bad day :)

  • This is amazing! How hard was it for you to learn it? Because I was thinking of learning it, but I don't want to go in over my head! LOL Thanks :)

  • @StarBurst4263 I don't think he need to "learn" it. He has a sheet of the piece so he's just sight reading it.

  • Just enjoy learning it or playing it. Enough said.

  • Why is so many people bragging about how fast they can learn this piece on the piano? Are we not playing this song for the same purpose and will we not get there eventually, whether it takes us two days or two hours?

  • @mindy13914425 I also agree with you. Why are people bragging about this?? It might take me weeks to learn this( well not really it only takes a couple of days for me) Still why are we bragging?? Everyone learns differently.

  • i hope i could play something, like guitar, piano, or anything. Jealous with you -.-

  • Suckish page turns!

  • omg. im mezmerized.

  • omg. im mezmerized.

  • im definitely a brute force player. i will sit and play small parts of the song for hours and then move on. my sight reading has severely diminished since i stopped playing violin 6 years ago. :(

  • I can't sight read to save my life. I need to hear it. When I hear it then I can play it and it takes maybe an hour or two

  • I kinda do both of sight reading and memory because i sight read the first few times but at the same time i memorize it until i don't need the sheets anymore. btw great job

  • It all tepends on the difficulty of the technique in the transcription of the song. I think beauty always makes something easy to learn though! I'm good at reading sheet music especially when I know the song but I do play it until it becaomes a part of me not necessarily struggling. I can memorize anything really except how too spell lol :P

  • "It's the ones I learn by ear that I can instantly memorize, but when there is sheetmusic I have to really study it to learn it from memory..(which I'm a bit too lazy for usually since it takes more time and there's s much more to play and figure out...)" ^This defines my playing almost exactly. :) ♪♫

  • Yes, Time is money.... good luck

  • hmm :) when my keyboard gets back up and running... i may just cover this. unless it'll seem overkill with vocal and guitar covers?

  • can i have the music notes?

  • wonderful!!

  • I love this song :')

    Very good by the way. :D

  • YOU ROCK!!!

  • impressive yes but reading sheet music and playing it is unprofessional. please memorize it other than that pretty good.

    PS: sheet music really doesn't help you if u know the song its just a bother, u would kno cuz u had to stop to turn the page.

  • Sheet music in my opinion is a barrier improvising a song and playing it your way by ear puts your emotions into it and opens a whole new field of piano skills avalible to you. =D (after you master playing by ear you can play a song just by hearing it)

  • I'm brute force all the way. I'll go and learn. A song by ear then play it loads and it sticks w/ me. Of coures, I've only been playing a yer so thT may change lol. Thang for the video I'm using it sfoe visual reference as I learn this song :)

  • 12 people are afraid of being 100

  • I cant read piano music but i can read guitar music its creepy cuz theyre lik the same thing

  • where did u get the piano sheets from????

  • I must say that you are by far the best piano version of this song that I have found on Youtube, and whether or not you are, you are still a very well accomplished musician and I give you props for playing this song. Thank you for playing and continue on and continue strong.

  • Comment removed

  • P.S. I started piano in 1st grade and haven't played since high school. I'm now a few years into college and am picking it up again. Great analysis of the three types of players. I am a brute force player for sure. Its awful and it was the only way for me to memorize pieces. My teacher is working me how to sight read so I will be able to play a song without going over it a million times. Cheers!

  • Awesome video!

  • im not a piano player but im actually learning this song and its awsome i can only play up to 0:10 but im progressing ;)

  • very gud

  • nice one..

  • yeah this is pretty amazing .

  • sightreading is pointless(i can sightread though) , but memorizing and playing by ear is much faster. i can memorize and play songs in a half and hour. bonus= time not wasted and no flipping pages :)

  • I learn my songs in like 2 days then I can play them from memory...My mom says it's weird.

  • @RowbotDinoJunkies3 I can sightread a song within 1 or 2 hours.. 2 days seems like wasting time then ;)

  • @10milesfromnowhere I think it's wasting time to have to flip the pages.

  • @10milesfromnowhere unless the song is 1 or 2 hours then its not sightreading lol

  • @10milesfromnowhere Kudos to you, but give the other guy some credit too. Not all of us learn that quick, and I'm the same way as RowbotDinoJunkies3.

  • @RowbotDinoJunkies3 owned...

  • @RowbotDinoJunkies3 I can learn intros in a matter of minutes (: a whole song probably an hour as long as i dont slack around.

  • @RowbotDinoJunkies3 omg it takes my weeks! if not longer

  • can u teach me lol

  • this actually made me cry...music is very deep to those who have a heart for music...you have a gift from God!

  • You're really good!

  • I have the sheet music for this and I'm teaching it to uself just one question.... Do I play the second line? J think it's called bass or something the one with the backwards C.

    Oh and I learned all of part of your world from the little mermaid by myself. :)

  • @MschocoloverXOXO it's called the bass clef. you play that part with you're left hand. and the top part/ treble clef with your right hand.

  • i play piano too. i was thinking about learning how to play this song and now i definitely am. great job! you're really good!!

  • this is beautiful <3

  • this is beautiful <3

  • Such a beautiful piano :)

    And a wonderful rendition of the song.

  • look at my channel for a cover of this song

  • I tried my hand at this song, had fun for a few pages then got a little frustrated, then I got bored, and then I moved on. It's a really nice song though, especially the chorus. Wish I had the patience to learn the whole thing.

  • FINALLY someone plays it in the correct tempo, everyone else plays it it WAY too fast and it loses its emotion when you do it fsat.

  • YOUR right NINJANRDJR...i also learned it from him..he is so coooooolllll!!!!!

  • For everyone who want to learn it, Visit Laydback5's channel, he goes through all the stages, give u all the notes and all the parts AND he does it clearly too, i learnt it off him.

  • thanks(: it helped a lot!

  • very good job

    one of the best covers on here! :)

  • i like it amazing

  • play it so much better than i do :P

  • this is soooo good ^_^

  • i should learn to play this and btw u played this beautifully

  • i would love to learn how to play this, but i'm a little out of practice because i've been so busy with school, so i don't know if i'd be able to.

  • If You Want To learn It, Then Learn It, I've Only Been Playing Guitar For 2 Years But I Taught Myself How To play Andy McKee - For My Father, Fair Enough It's One Of My Exam Pieces And I've Had Time To Work On It IN School, But Once Your Fingers Get Used To It, Then It Just Flows Naturally :) Keep It Up Man

  • I would sooo like to be able to play this... maybe gonna practise it someday, if I can find nice tutorial! :):) nice vid!

  • awesome! :D

  • great job, needs work.... but aleast you don't play it too fast like other people

  • the sheet music from scribd tricks u!!! the first two pages its corecct then boom! u get so pissed they give u something totally different!

  • AWESOME! i wanna learn this but dont know if i should even try cause it sounds so good (hard) if i find the sheet music and it turns out to be impossible for me.. ugh (sobs)

    btw, u hav beautiful hands. XD

  • pretty good job. u messed it up a lil in parts. I play this song, & dont get my wrong i cant play it very well either, but keep workin. it's a totally awesome song!!! :)

  • great job man

  • let me be your assistant! I'd love to help you turn the pages of the sheets :)

  • Aww Very Nice ^-^ *clap Clap* yay

  • i learned how to play this using sheet music last year, you are really good at playing piano.

  • i'm trying to teach myself to play this song, and it sounds really bad when i play it, because

    1. i'm only 11

    2. i'm only at level 2A

    so i'm struggling with it.

    :D lol

    great job!!!!!!

  • awhh(:

    lol dont be hard on yourself.

    keep praticing:).

    watch my videos?

    <3

  • im on 3a and i still cant play it so u should wait for a higher level ^^ lol

  • i'm level 4 almost 5 but i dunno if i can play this song or not..wanna learn it though...gotta find the sheetmusic

  • pretty piano (: and really good job.

  • wow you played this song real beautifully dude~ I'm tryin it myself ^^

  • Are you actually playing as you read it?

  • Yes, after 1 or 2 practice runs

  • @10milesfromnowhere Sight reading FTW

  • This is a great song and you played it very well, well done

  • i wanna learn how to do this on piano can u teachme?!

  • was this hard to learn

    at all?

  • i'm learning it and no once you get the hang of it it's really easy

  • AWESOME!!! Great talent.

  • ur awesome!

  • u really play good! :)

  • soo beatiful pliz make a tutorial or can i have sheets lolz

  • thats a nice piano you got there

  • dude lol, its ok i have trouble turning pages too :P

  • you sir deserve to die

  • your listening to this, and my brother plays this on the piano.

  • nice job....keep it up.

  • hey could you send me the piece to this song, by any chance? it would be amazing :]]] thanks!

  • like a ninja

  • This song makes me smile! 10milesfromnowhere, you are my hero... this is very beautiful.

  • OMG You are an awemazing piano player!!!!! Where did you get the music from!!!!!!! exceot for one part you really messed up

  • Very nice. Piano sounds like it needs tuned though. And a few cluttered notes but very very good. Pleasure to listen to.

  • im horrible are improvising..

    im horrible at reading notes..

    im not good at playing by ear..

    im nowhere near a mix..

    i play music by watching people's hand movements..

    is that weird?

  • nuh-uh, that's me there :)

    well, i play by ear - sort of

  • Speedshot, take the time and actually learn how to play the piano. If you enjoy playing at all, it's worth it.

  • oh, i play all the time. just not the recommended way.

    i know tons of songs. im just proving a point that there are many ways of learning a piano

  • me too!

  • well, i think you CAN read notes? try to learn some songs, by reading them. then try more. if that is done learn more songs by reading. finished? now? well, yes, learn even more songs...well, after that, there should be no songs you are able to learn anymore. then try playing them on violine. all of them. done? all of them on guitar. well, it should work, to read notes then, but you will already know all the songs in the world if this doesn't work, i will spend a lot of time in nothing :/

  • if u just learn how to play a song u will only know that song but if u learn from sheet u can play any song any time with no problem at all so u wont spend a lot of time for nothing

  • Hmm.. I should try that. =]

  • exactly, so that is, what i try to do. and it works...(too) slowly (to stand out in patience), but fast enough, not to give up.

  • yea slowly but very well especially when you see a flying sheet music floating around and want to play it, patience is a virtue

  • i luv this song

  • i can read sheet music but it takes me a while to figure out the notes on the sheet music cuz i usually play by ear.

  • aha! me too :)

  • I don't know why but every time I hear this song I cry....

  • 羨慕

  • ohhh...awesome :]

    i don't mind turning the pages for you :]

  • yeah!

  • i luv ur version the most of wut i saw so far...i think we got the same arragement except i learned it by ears, i never use music sheets...lol nice cover dude...especially the bridge at 2:19... that is wut i think the hardest part of this song...later

  • i think you did great!

    Your sound is wonderful! xD

  • lol oh really, you couldn't tell those notes until you turned that page...sometin

  • good song but 10milesfromnowhere really is in his own little world lol

  • very much lik my version.... the original and simple one...great job dude... i only do it by ear though, i hate reading tabs and music sheets...lol but i sitll have to perform it better too...nice cover

  • awesome job :)

  • interesting sidebar questions... if i'm reading sheet music, definitely #1, but if I'm learning by ear, or tabs, I can definitely remember it easier, but work harder at it as well (#3) love the music! You've got a new fan!!

  • The Clydesdale question really caught my eye! come to think of it, im actually abit of the first and mostly the 2nd. haha

    anw just wanted to let you know that you play with lots of emotion, which i feel is pretty cool...

  • pshhh poor hand position

    :P its ok my teacher always nails me for having my hands/wrists down

    and I'm a mix of 1 and 3...i can't improvise or write my own music if it would save my life

    some songs I can fly threw...others I strugle and strugle until I get it right, usually I memorize it :)

  • At the moment, I am just like you XD

  • just wondering what the book you're playing out of is called! nice version.

  • Nice playing. Very fluid and loose.

  • nice

    gb man

    hmm

    i have a version of it but it has hudge left hand leaps...

  • I love this song! Beautifully played!

  • Very nice

  • Excellent!

  • Great Job. Song is amazing. And all you assholes asking for sheet music...STOP. Support your local music store and buy it...or order it. What cheap people we have growing up these days.

  • Love the white piano!!!! the song was good too...

  • this video look likes its made for a 100 years ago

  • you are the most amazing ever!!! 100 years iz mi fav somg of all time and you just made it better! keep playin.

  • That was the second most amazing son I heard from you, Teardrop is listed first. It was very beautiful, and perhaps may I say, intense. I liked it a lot...

  • Thank you!

  • wow, this is flawless!

    can i somehow get the sheet music from you?

  • wow you're good :D I actually printed out this sheet music cuz i love the song and I wanted to learn it :) I love it...it's so pretty!

  • Ack!!! I can't read sheet music and play at the same time.

  • great job

  • WOW you are good at the piano i can almost hear the words!

  • I don't like the sound of your piano, but you played very good. You're awesome.

    Fantastic ^.^

  • why is this unavailable now?

  • No idea, it's playing fine here.

  • I love how the bass sounds on your piano. Mine sounds terrible down there. As for the video, very, VERY good job, but I think your sheet music is a tiny bit off. The left hand should be

    Dotted quarter, eigth(tied to quarter) , then quarter, not half, quarter, quarter. :)

  • Thank you! And, listening again, I hear what you mean with the left hand..will see if it's the sheets or me ;)

  • Hehe! =D i love when you quickly turned the page!! when i play, i always have to stop.. then i get lost.. and i end up having to start all over again :)!

  • you are amazing! of all the videos of people playing, i love yours the most! =) your piano sounds nice, and you know how to record sound to not make it fuzzy and annoying! great job! and of corse theres gonna be a few mistakes, but great job!

  • Yeah my answer is the same as yours, 10milesfromnowhere

  • same answer i have been playin music sinxe 5th grade and now i am goin into 10 th and that is so true

  • How do you get music for these kinda songs? is it just reg sheet music or accompaniment or what? really good by the way

  • is that a grand?

  • I wish! Nope, regular upright.

  • the video mess ups are from where ya cut and pasted it together eh?

  • Maybe I edited out a mistake, but in general glitches in my video's are either page turns cut out, or it's a glitch because my computer hates my firewire and just skips a bit every so often.

  • you are really REALLY good...

    =]

    can you play sara barellies love song?? pleaseeeee

  • Nice job. Maybe have someone turn pages for you haha I totally feel your pain there
