Raise Your Weapon - Piano Tutorial

[xstiffxkittenx]

Will you make sheet music for this, pleeaaaaase?c:

[jonrclinton]

do remember the exact tempo of your metronome?

[EdTheCreator]

Listen to my cover /watch?v=puwUu6kE8F0

[SemLeijten]

great!

[bradweri]

The actual tutorial starts at 1:17 for all you inpatient people

[TTplayar]

I've been playing the piano for approximately 3 days and you have inspired me to play another 3 years. I CAN ACTUALLY PLAY THIS because of you! Many thanks!

[RetroSpectr3]

This is just looped through the whole song? I thought there were some progressions in it, no?

[GrievingSquall]

@RetroSpectr3 You got me to listen carefully to it again, but from what I can tell it's the same thing over and over again. Not that that's a bad thing :D

@Aq3ntOranq3 Great tutorial :)

[RetroSpectr3]

@GrievingSquall not at all, it's actually great! I love this melody

[RetroSpectr3]

thank you!

[rembo97]

you keep a grand piano in your house? :D

[sims3master101]

can you please show the keys more...your hands cover them alot.

[dashufflers]

Can u do a tutorial for creep by deadmau5, I LOVE that song, I just can't get the right notes. Thnx.

[AOMCmusicTutorials]

Awesome vid. I just couldn't find sheet music for this anywhere, so I decided to use this to help me make sheet music for myself. Also, you have a fantastic ear, since I recorded the notes you instructed briefly via MIDI and put it side-by-side with the real song, and I do think you nailed it. Now I can start to truly learn the song without drawing in MIDI to play it, since that's cheating. Thanks!

I'll make the sheet music public when I finish it. I'm unaware of any other sheet music for this.

[ActOrBeActed01]

could you write out the notation?

[Thepinkmadrigal]

Can u make a tutorial for set fire to the rain by Adele?

[JonathanRoth23]

Dude youre awesome! thank you

[SounsGoood]

Dude great tutorial, but aint you cold with no socks on?

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@SounsGoood haha it was summer

[WtvrFloatsYourBoat]

i dont see shit

[Iratherbeher]

@Aq3ntOranq3 please play arguru tutorial !!

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@Iratherbeher I hate when people learn a song but dont show others how to play.. Ill try my best to learn that one next.

[forestpowder9]

This is so sick bro. Thanks

[Thepinkmadrigal]

You make it look easy!! Thx so much!

[dcrowe07]

yeah man im covering this song for a project in music tech. can you tell me hwat octaves the song isi n? because i just cant get it irght

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@dcrowe07 I'm not sure what you mean. Both hands are centered around middle C. Would it help if I made a vid of both hands playing together?

[dcrowe07]

@Aq3ntOranq3 haha thanks man but you dont need to to that. just tell me what octave the right hand is played in and what octave the left hand notes are playedi n

[noname97531]

@Aq3ntOranq3

same as left and right hand tutorials but with both hands being taught at same time, that is what most non piano players (like me) learn songs better from as its easier to find when to play what with and without other hand playing at the same time

[kamakazi8]

@Aq3ntOranq3 yes

[Pikimon100]

please show the notes from the lyrics.i want to play it with the singing part

[DOMozart]

This is amazing

I REQUEST FAXING BERLIN ( PIANO VERSION ) Obviously :')

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@DOMozart There are a few tutorials for faxing berlin out there

[DOMozart]

@Aq3ntOranq3 Oh sorry for wasting you time :(

[treturouscarnage]

christ, deadmau5 gets away with using some nasty chords.

[Juuuugi]

thank you! i love this song ! :)

[MarkFazzio]

Awesome man. Thanks so much. Also you said to let you know if we can't find a song online and you'll help out - I am looking for a "Steady as We Go" tutorial by Dave Matthews Band. I actually found the sheet music but I can't read sheet for piano, I can read for drums and I can read guitar tabs. Feel free to check out my channel. Thanks in advance!

[Christopazzzz]

could you make a sheet for me ?

[MusicMon808]

Great Tutorial! So stoked I can play this song now. Aloha!

[Flippy1565]

@MusicMon808 :D.... too

[AshleeRenee4977]

Eyyy, thank you so much. Wouldn't have been able to perform this without your video. <3

[whalewithay]

I can pick up the top hand by ear, but not the bottom. Is there anywhere I can get sheet music?

[SmellyManHobo]

PLEASE MAKE A TUTORIAL FOR RUN ON BY MOBY!!!! IT WOULD MAKE ME VERY HAPPY

[killerinstinct555]

@Aq3ntOranq3

Wow you actually took the time to really show us. Unlike other tutorials you really break it down more then other people.

[greenisforever95]

PLEASE MAKE A NEW VID WITH YOU PLAYING BOTH HANDS AT THE SAME TIME PLEASE!!

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@greenisforever95 ... I play it with both hands simultaneously at the beginning of the video and at the end, each time at different speeds.

[tubspower]

@Aq3ntOranq3 i think he means play it so we can see what both your hands are doing at the same time! and it would help out alot cuz im struggling!! keep up tha good work.

[ITSANAZNOMG]

@Aq3ntOranq3 he means as in from the top view, cause we cant see you playing both hands at once from a birds eye perspective

[airkick97]

Thanks dude! I played it in on GarageBand, and it was awesome! ;-)

[Mightypocketzz]

very good

[Lovaaaaar]

3:55 wtf what is wrong with ya hand

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@Lovaaaaar just holding the chord for the correct amount of time (based on the metronome)

[47reverb]

nvm didnt finish watching it.

[47reverb]

its hard to learn cuz you dont teach it with the proper timing, you hold it therefore no one can get the timing or rythm.

[matornot]

I haven't played piano in 3 years but this video inspired me to pick it up again. This is now the only song I can play but I can pick up all the old songs I've forgotten. Thank you so much for this!

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@matornot That makes me so incredibly happy to hear! Thank you everyone for your comments, each one makes my day.

[Trekfolie]

Very nice! Only problem is to put it all together, but will figure that out. Thanks!

[AwesomeDefuse]

We have the same jeans!!!!! OMG

[shannongoesraaawwr]

I can't get my timing right :(

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@shannongoesraaawwr What part are you struggling with, maybe I can help.

[shannongoesraaawwr]

@Aq3ntOranq3 I've got it now :) thanks though!

[mycopcar]

thanks to you i learned it quikly. thanks for the vid! <3

[irisXebenos]

i thought it was really helpful how you wrote all the keys on the screen as you played them :D

that will make learning this song all the easier :)

[mini6600]

Well done:)

[yougotmelostlikenemo]

oh shit, sounds exaclty like the song!

[alisonnscarmann]

you're seriously so talented.

[SuperSupper2]

just to make writing it down easier, it's in the scale of G# minor

[TEAMCANADAPC]

took me about 5 days but i got it! your piano sounds so good compared to my shitty electric ne that i plug into my PC

[corbyncarter]

@TEAMCANADAPC did you write out all of the chords together to figure it out? im getting confused :P

[TEAMCANADAPC]

@corbyncarter nope just memorized it

[DominictheLegit]

Alright, thanks for the quick reply though haha

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@DominictheLegit lol no prob, it's the least I can do.

[DominictheLegit]

Do u have it written out? That would be very helpful.

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@DominictheLegit Unfortunately I do not, sorry.

[treverborrisisaboss]

Solidddd

[weegie125]

I dont mean to complain, but i think this would have been more helpful if you showed both rigth and left hand at the same time. great job though!

[iceyhearted]

@weegie125 Don't be lazy, people! He did all the ground work for you, now put it together and play! Geez...

[DeadMau5899]

i can't see the piano

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@DeadMau5899 But you can see the keys.. What's the issue?

[DeadMau5899]

@Aq3ntOranq3 i mean i can't see the keys

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@DeadMau5899 oh.. But I'm holding the camera like 2 feet from them. If it's still unclear, I write the notes as I play them in the upper left corner: there shouldn't be a problem.

[DeadMau5899]

@Aq3ntOranq3 i don't really know which keys are which, so it helps to the piano

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@DeadMau5899 I mean, come on over and I'll teach you in person... Other than that, not sure what more I can do. Good Luck.

[DeadMau5899]

@Aq3ntOranq3 okay luckily i was bored enough to learn the piano keys so its no longer a problem. thanks! (:

[Nrrdood]

Deadmau5 should see this. quite beautiful to say the least. Your version conveys so much emotion.

[kaytboyle1987]

Hey, I used this tutorial to do a cover of Raise your weapon....Check it out if you get time. Thanks very much for the help:)

[dulciscicero]

fantastic tutorial. cant thank you enough. just some helpful criticism; try to fix your timing between playing the chords. i understand that the actual timing between the chords varies, but when you play one chord and quickly go to the next, its kinda hard to keep up the first time around. all in all, great tutorial, and thanks again. im looking forward to seeing what else you've got in store

[Aq3ntOranq3]

@dulciscicero Thank for the tip! I usually just play the song on headphones while on the piano to get the timing down.

[DjRayve]

Can you please do creep I want to learn that one, deadmau5 creep not radiohead or anything, please do deadmau5's creep for me!!

[strainedsilver]

where did you find the sheet music er..yea. ?
