[silvershadowsmoon]

Best tutorial ever!!!! Thanks!!!

[ABigFatSkwushyTushy]

why is the top comment about gears of war, when this is a piano tutorial?

[IamGuerillaGorilla]

@ABigFatSkwushyTushy This is the song in the gears of war trailer, thats why

[mastercobjay]

@ABigFatSkwushyTushy because it was was in gears of war 3.

[EobitsConverge]

best mad world tutorial ever!

[nitroghost100]

I love that song, you play it very good... :D

[Hellomynameaustin]

Anyone come here to learn the song?

[picko100]

Anyone come here for the music and also the fact Donnie Darko used it before Gears of War?

P.S. Gears of war is for douche bags, so fuck off.

[bonbeany]

For beginner pianists: never cross your pointer finger over your thumb to play a chord. Never.

[gleek314]

Thanks man

[failsingaming]

I learned how to play this. Thank You, this was very helpful.

[Jonathanperez10]

[laralyth]

thanks a lot, now i've learned my first song!

[bellahayley88]

do you need the piano tuned to play the song cuz mine is not

[korrie97]

Nice tutorial!

[muh1h1]

i realy like the tutorial, this is the first piano tutorial, that really helped me out ;)

[StupidLamo]

Good, but you need to do tutorial more clearly - it's good when you push the key with one finger, and when this finger is over keys, because in some moments I can't understand what finger you use and what key you pressed

[Tigerboy5225]

@StupidLamo That happens in litirally every mad world video I have seen.

[juniorracer1995]

is the singing part really played????? cause when i listen to the song i cant hear it on the piano

[MrCrisby222]

who came here just cuz this is a wonderful song and they wanted to be able to play it?

[strawberryteddy1]

i learnt this song! its really easy

[DinosaurSuccess]

all around me are familiar faces

worn out faces

[MrJB166]

@DinosaurSuccess All around me are Familiar Faces, Worn Out Places, Worn out Faces... Not the other way around :L

[geffers01]

thanks, great tutorial :))

[ihatestairs17]

Great tutorial, it's so much easier to understand than the other ones :D

[Lozmopresents]

Anyone actually hear this before Gears of War or Donnie Darko..? Or is it just me..?

[cigar0007]

@Lozmopresents Must just be you (: Great vid though, I can play this now thanks to this! Huzzah!

[Pyromaniac1801]

@TheCodyLittlejohn you sir, are an asshole. hate to ruin your fun though, but i already figured that out from all of the other cunts that posted the exact same thing

[F3ARpointman]

Nice guide! Thanks, I finally learned this now!

[CrayolaFiend]

Am i the only one who heard this on Donnie Darko before Gears Of War?

[TheBatchCode]

Wow nicely done, now to get along with learning this thanks.

[juneda33]

when i heard this on gridlock today i wanted to cry XD

[Pyromaniac1801]

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!! quit ruining gears for me just to get top comment douche bags, im glad youve finished the game, really i am, now let me finish it with out you telling me who the fuck dies

[Decessus117]

@Pyromaniac1801 Thanks for pointing that out - I'll delete any GOW spoilers. Sorry for the frustration!

[StubstopherJr]

@Pyromaniac1801 I meant to press thumbs up sorry D:

[Pyromaniac1801]

@StubstopherJr haha, i really dont mind, i dont really get into the top comment game

[StubstopherJr]

@Pyromaniac1801 I meant to try to boost you up there because my friend had everything spoiled for him by a top comment. I hate when that happens :(

[Danny10M]

yeah..... thanks for ruining the gears of war campaign for me you dicks.........

[ImHazardFX]

@sgtkill234 SOOOO glad i beat the campaign before i looked this up :)

[comic315]

helpful tutorial, the only problem is that you went over the syncopation way too fast, so I had the notes, but not the rhythm. It was still helpful though, thanks!

[ThePug96]

DOOOOOMMMM NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!



[vampiregirl9797]

Thanks for the tutorial, learned the whole song in 10 min =D (but your fingering is terrible! LOL)

[MaOzHo187]

@vampiregirl9797 I LEARNED IT IN 5 MINUTES, IN YOUR FACE!

[TuesdayThursday23]

@sgtkill234 Maybe you should write *SPOLIER!* first....

[Paul8301]

Am i right when i guess you have never had piano lessons?

[Tacticalnik]

Anyone come here because of gears?

[CookieMonsturrrrrrrr]

@Tacticalnik no im here because i forgot how to play it from 3 yrs ago

[SebastianMRM]

@Tacticalnik yep! I have to learn this song! :D

[nickludwig5]

@Tacticalnik you're honestly so ignorant

[UltraMankiller]

@Tacticalnik gears of war is fucking gay

[samanthaakaate]

Thank you!

[Terminator2013]

Amazing tutorial

[MariahAlexander22333]

I've been trying really hard to learn this, I've started tonight, and been practicing for a while now :3... But, I was wondering of you could like.... send maybe a link you know with the notes written down, or tell me them please? :3 maybe sheet music or something.

[Decessus117]

@MariahAlexander22333 Sorry, I just learned it from another YouTube tutorial, so I have no sheet music... ;)

[sophiepountney]

@MariahAlexander22333 write the notes down thenn??

[Tambamalamajam]

This vid is amazing :) well done :D I've nearly learnt it,

[TheAndramonster]

That guy learnt something new xDDDDDDDDDDD

[blackrise392]

Best piano tutorial I've seen ever !! :) well done .. Learnt this In an hour :D x

[MovieMad2011]

really good vid thanks!! XD

[hazzabot]

i cant belive it this song has inspired me so much to play i think i prefer to play piano rather than guitar

[djmadalrian]

i practiced this for an hour it dosent help you cant even tell when you press down black keys which is really confusing and your the first one who let me figure out i cant play shit with two hands thanks alot lol

[HEYBizarre]

@djmadalrian Well, all the black keys are casting shadows so if you really can't tell otherwise, just look at which keys have no shadows. That would mean that they are being pressed.

[mssnotredamedeparis]

please make more tutorials :) Great no one can teach you this song like you.

[MrCrisby222]

wonderful! thank you so much! great tutorial



[MYn4m31sl0l]

[oSNE4Ko]

Any tips on learning to play set of keys with left hand and a different set with right hand...i just find it hard to use both separately as I don't actually play the piano xD just certain songs I've learned

[rereverse]

Im no pianist, but ive learnt this one pretty easily form your tutorial..only hard part was acutally the 4 time repeated sequence..it took me a bit of practice before i figured out how am i supposed to combine left with right...anyway nicely done sir ;)

I have the sheet music , but it has been a long long time since I read it and i think have miss wrote them.

[GunZTube1]

[thehollsterpop]

[Razer6809]

i just cant manage to play the middle part correctly with both hands :/

[MLCmoments]

The tutorial is amazing! Thanks! :)

[YouDontForgetThis]

[sixdaysgracee]

[seventoedsloth]

I heard this song on the commercial for the season finale of The Mentalist and thought it was really cool, you did a great job at teaching it!

[xFullMetalJackstrapx]

[jontinator]

Yup, defo plays WoW

[banaanxD]

Are you single :$

ILOVEYOU.

[601theturner]

really helped

[TheQwesDog]

i got a question, after you finish the Bb and the D together with the left hand and then you start back over with the Ab do you play the F with your left hand with the Ab? or do u move the left hand over a hole note and so the F will match up with the C on the right hand?

[woutieyy]

Great tutorial! :D I now just need to put the right and left hand togehter :P

[Tushar199506]

dude u rock! thanks for actually saying the keys out loud lol, i cnt count how many hours i spent trying to figure out the keys being played in other vids :D

[givmeataco]

guy you r a life saver. my teacher wants me to play beethoven's fifth :(. hopefully if i get this down in 2 weeks or so i can play this for my recital and not stupid beethoven. Thank you!!

[AStickManProductions]

complication..

[Clusters112]

shot bro! i now know how to play this song because of your video, you're the man

[bangbangshoodoo55]

so i have never played piano but i had one electric one laying around, i wanted to learn how n you sir are good at teaching music. you made sense for a complete noob. all i have to work is on being able to do two different motions with my hands. Thank you. i will have to keep practicing it.

[victorialoox]

where's the keys for the chorus?

[marizpiano]

Hi,

Interesting new piano learning device featured in Gizmag

Google “gizmag pianomaestro”

Just wanted to share

[thechurchoffuckyou]

Excellent job man. Very well done! Much appreciated. Probably the best tutorial I've seen.

[witness124]

Thankyou very much. Your tutorial wasn't too slow, but it was slow enough even for me to write it down. My thanks.

[matthewzoot]

very well done indeed!

[taikaliso357]

Hand placement is awkward but its informational

[Jeyekomon]

well done! Thank you.

[giselleb104]

i have never tried teaching myself a song on piano before. i've always found playing with both hands to be quite intimidating, but you made it very simple to learn. thanks :)

[notjustfast71]

i have to say there were a lot of times where i was having a lot of trouble and yelling my head off and i wanted to kill you, but in the end i learnt the song and now i just have to practice and practice. so thanks for the video it was a great help

[Muvlonhunt]

well normaly i prefer piano synthesia, but this was great :)

[RuneMasterPimp]

wow all youre videos have like 1 to 1000 views and this one goes woosh to 400k+

[blada600]

I just realize you leave out the transition going back into the beginning part of the song. It's what's played as he's actually singing the words "Mad World" in the song. Everything was in the correct order, but there is one more part that you don't go over. It doesn't just go back into the beginning where you said it does. =/

[Kanine61able]

you 4got the chorus where they say "maaaddd wooorrlld"

[lumage10]

Fantastic

[evildee818]

kinda sucks tbh

[Lukejcarter]

Great tutorial dude. I picked it up right away, your speed and explanation worked for me!

[ParamoreCore1995]

can you wright sheets? because what I do now is terrible xD

[Bioshock20930]

wtf that is terrible. it makes no sence on the second part

[robertl30]

This is forever the Donnie Darko theme for me. Great tutorial.

[timasanz]

@robertl30 or gears of war comercial

[EdenShanae]

hey, when you hit D with the left hand you hit F at the same time. :) but this is really good, keep going with the tutorials man :D

[tallybbz]

thank you so much, i've wanted to learn this for ages and my friend wasnt much help at teaching me but this really helped loads . <3

[peaceluv9able]

Thank you this is great! I used it for my English project were we needed to perform a song about a scene from this sad book where the only time he ever smiles is when he is dreaming about death! Thank you sooo much! :)

[AidoFanAnniPeace95]

thanks a lot! I owe a keyboard but i never learned how to play it, but thanks to you and your great tutorial, i was able to play this awesome song! its my favourite song, so thanks again :D

[horse30702]

Thank you so much!!! :D This really helped me, you're awesome :) I can't wait to show my friends lol. I encourage you to do more!

[LFGstockades]

I've never really played any piano, so... I don't have one! But thanks to this video I managed to nail this while practicing on my phone (while heading for school this morning). Scored an A on this assignment thanks to you! Awesome tutorial!

[chipmunksdancer]

You really are a good piano teacher, I learnt it straight away. you helped me play to with two hands and now i can...

[scizor38]

This is awesome thanks! Have you noticed you sound like Marshall from How i met your mother?

[2Bamandine]

Hello,

I learned how to play "Madworld" fast, thx to your tutorial and I wanted to know if it would be possible to create another one about "Promise me" from Beverly Craven, wich doesn't exsist anywere.

Thank you in advance.

[ani17ak]

I didn't realise how simple this song is to learn!

[dakotasapphire]

you don't hit F twice....

[busydefyinglogic]

wow i just learned this song in like ten minutes thanks so much!

[GoodGooglyGumdrops]

[93SASoo]

[EvelynHatesBitches]

[YuNa1921]

Awesome tutorial. Thank you.

[harlookaur]

thank youuuuu:)

[NomNomChew]

Great tutorial !!

[olivemybutter]

this helped me learn the song. but you gave me a headache at how friggen long it took. and i think it might be easier for you to hit cords if you didn't cross your fingers a million different ways.

[TheRealMadA]

very nice tutorial bro.. helped me a lot with your explanations

[JJeeennnniiiii]

great video :) but how do you put the second and last piece together? the first has 2 notes on the right hand with one on the left but what are the other pieces? sorry

[JJeeennnniiiii]

great video :) but how do you put the second and last piece together? the first has 2 notes on the right hand with one on the left but what are the other pieces?

[trouble48708]

great tutorial thanks!!!

[Watissiecool]

It's most certainly not the right way to play this song..

[andremarqueda1]

[TheCharrrx]

Hey, great(:

but what are all the chords please?

[blondeloudandproud]

[Sutsch86]

Thank you! Nice for your first tutorial!!

[YouveBeenOutdoneband]

To fast!! I was trying to play along but i couldnt do it as fast. But that was the only thing wrong, good job!

[MadHunterThief]

Excellent tutorial, because while I'm seeing some comments about it being too hard or not comprehensive enough, it looks like it's right at my level of piano comprehension. Very helpful! Haunting song, too.

[steffe9707]

ummmmm could u make a bit easiier video cuz im having problems learning it.......(im 13)

[7chopsticks7]

this video really helped me on some part, thanx man !

[siriddler]

Nice video, but this is Tears for Fears/

[IndieIncendiary]

@siriddler Actually Tears For Fears is the album name.
