Learn to play piano in three minutes and three seconds!

[MrSturrz]

Yeah most beginners who saw this wouldn't even be able to find middle C afterwards, never mind playing chords or having any rhythm whatsoever. Also yeah... 88 keys :)

[lindalomaz]

Is it just me or is his piano horribly out of tune?

[Goingtwordgod]

well the add added 5 seconds

[Psythik]

[mpw19962001]

[purpzngreenz36]

THANK YOU SO MUCH:D

[drxcreatures]

Thanks. I'll take a look at your videos. :)

[hector665]

youtube.com/watch?v=mm9cRa1VFm­E&feature=related < if you guys like piano you should definitely watch this video by David Vitas, he's definitely an expert pianist He composes his own stuff as well

[MusiqueGirl]

why shouldnt i know that thats F???

[cammigurlgonewild]

@MusiqueGirl he's not talking just to you...some people have never played piano before and remembering keys might take a while to get used to

[JakobRobert00]

if you play a-b-c-d-e-f-g-a it is A-Minor, am i right?

[MarioStyle11]

@JakobRobert00 no

[JakobRobert00]

@JakobRobert00 yes it is don´t tell me shit

with the "b" i mean the 7th note in C Major.

Maybe you call it "h" like we Germans do. a bit confusing

[mtamiesc]

Your camera use, makes me nauseous. What is this? The Blair Piano?

[sotopagla]

Nice job!

Just wanted to share with you a cool piano gadget recently featured in Gizmag

Google “gizmag pianomaestro”

[marizpiano]

Want to share cool new piano learning device in Gizmag

Google “gizmag pianomaestro”

[imdanadana]

3 mins and 4 second actuly, lol fail ;)

[piratepplz]

88, not 77. You will never even think to learn about piano if you don't learn about classical piano. You're really an idiot. Not even talking about theory. Stop it. Please.

[74905jessica]

A key board has 60 keys

[masteree100]

thanks dude,,, wow now i know!!! i think its gonna take a lot of practice to play good music in piano,, and uhhmm this is a good start... thanks for your upload!!!! ill wait for the next

[aidinson]

the titel sucks!

Learn to play piano in three minutes and three seconds!

[Tiduspeco]

"it's gonna say F sus 7, but just play F"

LOL

[DoctorD47]

@sonicXmanic many say to learn each hand separately and then play them at the same time. I recommend learning simple songs with easy top and bottom parts and slowly work your way up to more complicated songs (i.e. ode to joy)

[shinesinpines]

88 keys. A piano has 88 keys

[sp4zzer]

@shinesinpines If it is a full one, yes ;)

[eynajafoster421]

[Klaasje26]

Hi guys i found some nice sheet music on this website

Ultrabookworm.co.cc

Its intended to search for eBooks but works for sheet music and piano begginner books!

Found alot!

Make Music and Share it!

[TheUnknown921]

thanx!!

[mraboodaaa]

How there is no 3:03 O_O

[JuyoNi]

wow... heavy theory? fuck, you make it look sooo easy when piano is the most difficult instrument to master. jesus... and you didnt explain anything about circle of fifths which is the first thing i learned. so yeah delete this. Also "teaching classical music fist, is a mistake?" you sound like an idiot.

[TheNaethryn]

wow you are hindering more than helping, i just hope that anyone that actually wants to learn ignores this, and people that just want to muck about and toil away take your advice.

[LauraLovesClint]

@TheNaethryn i learned more from this guy than anyone else...sooo yea right that in ur book :)

[TheNaethryn]

@LauraLovesClint it would be write*, and any teacher at all would be a better choice. like i said if you just don't care about actually learning how to play this is fine, but if you are at all serious about the instrument, this needs to be ignored. maybe one day you'll take advice from someone that knows what they are doing and not some tween and youtube and you'll see what i mean

[princessleila2468]

its actrually 3 min and 4 seconds !!

dumb

[kaandemiroz]

This is in fact 3.03 seconds, at the end if you check the timer it goes 3:02, then 3:04, skipping 03

[SuperSwiftly]

i would lvoearn ow to play the piano

[cabrian1]

0:51 You mean higher.

[frazelman2]

its actually 3mins 4 seconds

[wasen147]

this is awesome

[helltiger94]

dude thnx a billions, best instuctional vid i found so far :)

[sonicXmanic]

I have trouble playing with both hands

I can play fine with one but two is a nightmare :(

can anyone help?

[dontrlycare]

@sonicXmanic just practice lol

you'll get it eventually believe me

[starwarsfan767]

@sonicXmanic for me, i think you just have to try to pace it and work through it while looking at the sheet and the keys

[EvilGniusStudios]

@sonicXmanic cut your other hand!

[ModiQ1]

@sonicXmanic the only thing i can say is practice makes perfect

[Arturostunes]

@sonicXmanic This boy just rushed through what the piano is . - Chords aren't simply finding the note then counting. - What about if you wanted to play F#m ? - That's F sharp Minor. - He doesn't explain any type of chord. Therefore, your info is basically useless. Go to ►[[ easyasthatpiano.c­om ]]◄ Is the best source availble...- It teaches you how to play FLUENTLY the piano, not just the basics, in like 2-3 days. - Try it, it's 5 bucks lol, I'm suggesting it to everyone...It really helps.

[Arturostunes]

@sonicXmanic And about using both hands? like i said go to the freken source, give in 5 bucks & learn how to play and have techniques on how to play with both hands without a problem. It'll teach u all about chords, and simplicities to get to it. WITH NO SHEET MUSIC needed lol. - He was right about one thing: ppl waste time trying to teach u unnecessary garbage to make themselves feel important like they know a lot about music

[lauzypie]

@sonicXmanic looads and loads of practise. It's the only way im afraid. I had traouble but if you play and play for an hour a day or more youll see your hands start learning to play different things at same time :) it is very frustrating but trust me it happens hahahah

[OpalEl]

@sonicXmanic You have to keep practicing there is no easy shortcut way around it. Sorry, buddy. You'll get the hang of it before you know it. :)

[sonicXmanic]

@OpalEl I've tried so hard but I just can't do it T^T

[Guttan2k]

@sonicXmanic amen bother i feel u

[primat91]

@sonicXmanic

Practise for a couple of years.... There is no quick way. Search for good practises online

[fleeper4]

@sonicXmanic practice drawing a circle with you right hand , and triangles with your left

It helps

[JBluexIce]

@sonicXmanic i started piano in september but i can play a few songs with 2 hands

k so this guy said only the basic for piano...

if you really wanna to play piano with 2 hands you should get a teacher

so you know how there's timing right? when its like:

3

4

so its easier if you start with songs that you press the notes of both hands at the same time

sorry its hard to explain but thats all the info i can give u cause its REALLY hard to explain but once you get the hang of it it gets easier

[TheCrazyAssChink]

@sonicXmanic practice

[carebearsftw]

@sonicXmanic break it down.. i like to think of the keys as left, right, and both... so for example, you could play your left and right hand at same time, then play a few notes on right hand, then do another both, and etc... its all mental..

[kichukdave]

@sonicXmanic start slow and speed up over time.

[jakeanddan14]

3 minutes and 4 seconds dumbass

[rachelkaitlyn2]

@jakeanddan14 he wasn't doing anything in the last second, so it didn't count for us learning XD

[magicbuskey]

Music is just math. By "chords" here, you mean "major chords" which are the root note +4 half steps + 3 half steps (r,4,3) whereas minor chords are (r,3,4).

[MyQmuse]

very helpful dude,,,greatttttt!!

[EllieWantsCookies]

Holy shit. I learnt more here then the lessons I've been taking. HAHA

[Jannto]

@EllieWantsCookies No you didn't. YOu learnt a major chord and 2 key names. EIther your lessons are literally, and I mean literally, the worst lessons ever, you didn't. This is not how you play piano, no offense, but seriously. First of all, if someone says play an em7 chord, you play a goddamn em7 and not a e major. If this were all you need, explain to me why people dont hire me to play piano. I EVEN ALL THE KEYS NAMES. Seriously, dont just call them whatever, learn them. Takes like a week.

[EllieWantsCookies]

@Jannto Troll? I was being sarcastic. Though sarcasm doesn't translate well online.

[Jannto]

@EllieWantsCookies I was in a trolly mood. I wasnt exactly trolling tho. Yeah my sarcasm detector is broken.

[superstar4567]

ah!!!! You ended the vid on a V chord in c major and didn't resolve!!!!! HOW DARE YOU!!!

[TektonicRichy]

HAHA youre video dures 3 minutes and 4 SECONDS !!!! xd

[33639856]

great

[Nygirl666]

THANK YOU SO MUCH, and guys he is trying to do his best he has more videos dumbies

[atv5230]

u cant learn piano in 3 mins and 3 secs!

[singhking64]

It has been taking me over 7 years to learn piano and i could never ever get the cords right, i just couldn't memorize them. This video is like god to me [:

[BaghdadBadBoy]

thanks i've just learnt how to play chords ...very easy very good ...thx again

[DJWhizzkidd100]

Knowing what note a key is does not mean you know how to play the piano.

[madnesscombat5]

@DJWhizzkidd100 define "playing the piano" because i play the piano all the time. it might not sound good to others, but to me its music.

[LynetMcQueen]

It took my pianoteacher 3 months too explain this....

[shamary13]

@LynetMcQueen i completely understand. Piano teachers go by sooooooooo slow :O

[yepitspat]

@LynetMcQueen sounds like your piano teacher probably gets paid by the hour

[BobbieBillion]

very good thanks

[BG4123]

Thanks just got a keyboard today and was looking at it like WTF and now i love playing it!

[jdiddyfiddycent]

dude you sond mclovin

[JoeyFudd]

sucks!

[rauninove]

retarded

[rauninove]

shut up mf !!!!!!

[Jeroenx0]

woow wo desn't now that?

and its not a piano but keyboard!!!

(-_-")

[BubbleYum77]

I like you:) This helped me. Right now Im learning cords. This video gave me a good idea of what cords are. Thanks!

[smokybear101]

Simplicity in any field is the key u da man

[25gogirl]

This is :)

[aynrandy1]

I'm an old guitar player who has always wondered what how to get the basic piano chords and their names.

This was explained beautifully, and I can't believe I actually understood that easily.

Thanks a million!

[arroncop]

you should watch my video trickofdisaster...its called how to make a youtube video in 3 minutes. covers crappy camera work....ill send u the link....noooooob

[holzfilet94]

there comes a point, when you´ve learned the basics of popular music. i think there are a lot of people who remain in this state and don´t get better. i believe classical music really helps you to get better then: you have to study more carefully; the figuration becomes more important... you can adopt these skills to improve your style of popular music. your fingers and your ears will know how the music´s shape looks like and the assumption to get better has been made!

[TeHEpiXShoW]

Well i play piano my self so i think if people had no clue how to play i would recommend this video just to learn the basics of the piano but aside from all that good job

[xXZarlachXx]

omgz, after those 3minutes and 3seconds i now know how to play everything on the piano, with my eyes closed

[1996champion]

You are the shit. I hate those people who try to make their craft seem impossible to learn. Keep teachin bro. What goes around comes around!

[britishpolitics1]

I like the sound of the Flushing Toilet near the end of the video

[kamilkornicz]

Hello. Please subscribe me:) My channel already has some videos and recordings of hip-hop and techno:) Feel free to watch, comment on and evaluate my work:)

Yours

DJ Jertu

[tnamus6]

well all u guys should thank him atleast teaching us sumthing.

great help to me tho

[charleychaken]

your black keys are out of tune.

Your white keys are also out of tune.

Thanks for the lessson though.

[apapization]

wow why did I spend four years in piano lessons when you taught me just about all I learned in three minutes?

[666hafe]

Im a REAL piano player and my comment is: HAHAHAAHHHAHAAHHHAAHAHHHAHAHHA­HAHHA WHAT FAIL!!!! Tell me good sir how do you expect total nebues to piano bennefent to this?

[CacheSeaker]

For example.

E7: E-G#-B-D

Em7: E-G-B-D

(Note: E7 is actualy EDom7 is known more popularly by the name E7. I say this because there are Maj7 chords.)

[CacheSeaker]

Sevenths are easy too. Just count two keys back from your Root Note and add that to your chord.

[CacheSeaker]

For example.

E Major: E-G#-B

E Miner: E-G-B

Simple

[CacheSeaker]

He should have taught miners. You cant play an E where an Em or it won't sound right. For those of you wondering, to get a miner chord just move the middle note of your chord one key.

[BeccaandBri]

that helped alot! thanks! :)

[999Hader777]

thanks for sharing

[dandylionsforever]

thanks so much! this is very helpful.

[MyLola32]

Thanks

[CreationsOfBoredom]

Andrew Fumancsyadysa aka "LYPUR" . . . is BETTER

[ffdff]

@CreationsOfBoredom he is not "better" - you can't even compare them - this here is nothing - lypur is everything!

[wiktoria98]

@CreationsOfBoredom Andrew Furmanczyk

[FaithFading]

Im new to playing piano but instead of counting can't you go c skip a white then e then skip f then g. Like just skip a white letter every time?

[dredeye]

Telling people to basically just keep it simple and only play major chords may work well for you, but this is honestly the worst advice for someone who wants to be good in any way. Plus 88 keys not 77

[MilmosBros]

Hey Nicer Vid but i have a question

On Note sheets they sometimes put a H before a note. For example HC

If i see a note like that do i just play C?

If not what do I play?

[frannieisfroggie]

so yeah i spent like 3+ years taking piano lessons and all i learned was how to play the classical stuff and i ended up quitting i had no idea what chords were until like 4 months ago so yeah he was righttt the classical music thing is a mistake, money wasted :(

[jishin99]

clear explanation. thanks

[Raikara]

Ah so now i can play any song e? yea..., that will sound great......, major chords where a minor should be.... Maybe for someone who is deaf?

[WeEatChuu]

If we can learn it in 3:03 minutes then why would we watch your vid about learnin it in 1 year.

cause 3:03 minutes goes faster

[jrbloom2]

well done mate! other videos make it so complicated maybe trying to make their authors smart, but you are the smartest by making it so simple, the only little thing that i owuld have wished to add to your video would be the minor chords the simplest way that you could think of. tanks a lot!!!

[Adalekadoo]

THANK YOU!

[Adriaantje2008]

you forgot to tell them about minor chords

[TheBarnabyJones]

Hey man, this has been so helpful. Really appreciate this :) Cheers

[thanksforthemessdick]

basic ,nice,but if you want to play melodies,you need to learn scales(the music teacher said waggling his finger at the homeless street musician) W W H W W W H..heres an easy way .pick any note and play "joy to the world "the melody is a decending major scale ,of whichever note you start on.rock on wicher bad selves

[SongwritterGirl]

that's exactly what i wanted...no theory only the stuff!! thanks

[Jiosonus]

I wish all instrument lessons were so nice and concise like this. No jargon, no theory. Straightforward, 1, 2, 3. Music shouldn't be as complicated as they try to make it. Thanks for the vid!

[purplicious007]

well, that was easy...?

[Shangryah]

ooosh dude ur the man!!

[2cute4you2]

Thanks...that was very helpful

[ibrotherbears11]

This is great I love it thanks man!!!!

[loverboy1096]

tnx so much.. that was really helpful :)

[europafish]

coolness. this was really helpful ~_~

[jessevdzouw]

haha its not 3 min. 3 seconds but is 3 min. 4 seconds

haha, always be secure

[MrPianoPlayer92]

I don't think you made a full introduction to piano (teaching the difference between minor and major would have been smart before telling people to find songs on the web), but I think you taught the basics very well =). However, though I agree that you do not need to learn classical, I find that technique is essential to quickly learn how to play and bad habits like having an unbalanced center of strength in your hand and tensing of your shoulders, arms and wrists may easily form if not learned.

[nakedvolleyball]

@MrPianoPlayer92 Uh...you've got some issues that all of your masturbating isn't helping you with.

[paavaliukkonene]

@ExpressStaveNotation: maybe but then i was taught the old way so this way to me seem kinda pointless and doesnt seem to work for me

[ExpressStaveNotation]

After the white keys ABCDEFG, come the black keys which are called H I J K and L.

[letsdanss]

@ExpressStaveNotation Really hope that was ironic, shit.

[paavaliukkonene]

err this kinda sucks cause not all chords have only 3 notes :/ and most people teach classical music first cause it becomes the base of most piano playing and helps tones with theory like Jazz does for improvings :P

[ExpressStaveNotation]

@paavaliukkonene i disagree, this guy tries to put music theory into a nutshell. Make it simple, which it really is! He states "Every note has a letter assigned to it." Well then he tells the white keys ABCDEFG, but has to change his mind and not keep going for the black keys, because of the traditional terminology. But he is on the right track. If every note had a letter assigned, you would have 12 letters A to L. Simple! Call the black keys HIJK and L. They are no longer confusing. Spread it!

[lookinglikeafool]

@ExpressStaveNotation yeah but then if we rename the black keys we need a much larger and more confusing staff on sheet music to fit in the extra notes where they would previously just be marked with a sharp/flat sign etc!

[ExpressStaveNotation]

@lookinglikeafool

If you study my Express Stave Notation as in the video:

- How to read the Bass Clef: tutorial plus "Name the Tune" -

you will see that it is the same size as the traditional stave, and just uses different notes to represent the black keys. It is not "confusing" but quite simple and elegant. The problem with traditional notation is how long it takes to learn ALL 15 key signatures (0 to 7 sharps or flats).

[bo6100]

from all the info u put on this video. i would say this rlly will help u how to play the piano! so thanks man =)

[TheMonkeynumber1]

nnnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiiiccccccccce it aint borin!!!!!!!!!!

[fampire1212]

your keys are blue man!

[Faithz2345]

I used to do piano but then i had to stop since my tutor had to go to college

now i remember it!

[Bipumasta]

Thanks a lot!

[xxsk83rxx13]

thanks man! and thanks for not getting all technical with notes and symbols! idk what any of that means, i have music dyslexia :{

[Nishbot]

awesome dude! thanks!

[CloudXSoldier7]

wow..out of all the piano hints i have been looking up, yours was far the best i have seen :) thank you so much XD you explained things very well for a beginner like me to really understand ^^ thank you so much for the helpful lesson :)

[Yourjustsomerasis]

@CloudXSoldier yea, but can you read music? like sharps and slurs and ties and rests and semi-breves and all that stuff? real useful vids witch help read music will tell u f and b sharps apart. So i'd take a piano lesson rather than get it online.

[darkstarnebulashitfa]

wow!! super helpfull!! thanks! more pleease!!

[andabolidya]

this is great man, thank you so much! May you be blessed with more talent to the point of even opening your own school of Piano where you can start teaching by the actual piano then on and on!!! Be blessed!

[thekkl]

I'm sure that by 77 you mean 88... right?

[nakedvolleyball]

@thekkl What do you fucking care? Go and shit yourself.

[thekkl]

@nakedvolleyball How's that lottery prize money taste? Apparently not good enough since you're still wasting your time insulting people you don't know on the internet for no reason.

[Cationification]

@thekkl different piano perhaps. hahaha

[thekkl]

@Cationification I'm pretty sure they don't ever come in 77.

[fabul0usm0cr0]

Thankyou!!

[runandreturn]

Thank you :)

[Darkraz]

Hi

Check out this vid - produced by me

watch?v=gp9FF1Bx_4o

There will be 4 short lessons

[guitar4690]

U r awesome great lesson.

[iamastormtrooper]

well if you wanna play like a beginner rest of your life, just learning chords is the way to do it.

Pop and Rock music is really this simple but if i have a say, the world of music is something you have to explore and you significantly limit the world you can explore with just basic chords. this vid actually just explains that and if you want the get better, learn what he says and learn more.

have fun learning the great instrument that i have enjoyed to play for many years.

[pitterlove]

Great Vid. I have a piano and this is all the info I wanted. Thanks much.

[oysterlovers]

ok, so why would someone need to watch your next video " learn piano in 4 minutes" ? or the one after " learn piano in a year" !!

[Trickofdisaster]

@oysterlovers They don't!
