Derek and the Dominos Layla piano ending

[Codysab04789]

Outstanding!!! The best I have heard!

[jimphoenix127]

I see you play it in D flat instead of C, which is what I do too. Most people I see play it in C, though the actual tuning in the song is somewhere in between C and D flat, and it sounds a bit closer to the D flat in my opinion. Does anyone know what key it was actually recorded in?

[daisysc1]

I wrote lyrics for this part of the song, a brand new one!

[Donnszelc]

Fabulous

[MrTonytwofingers]

get a job.



[Coonhoundy]

When does Ray Liotta start narrating? That is outstanding! I just bought a piano, first in 30 years and I play by ear too. You did great!

[paigeANN23]

i cant find the sheet music either.... This is the best one i've heard!!!!

[teeceew]

Brilliant, could be the best on you tube.

[kayou5082]

This has got to be one of the best covers found on youtube ! Keep up the good work .

[zworts]

[veromegafree]

[ChevelleSSLS6]

Hi,

I'd like to know where you got the sheet music for this song. I can't find it ANYWHERE!

[andymst3000]

@ChevelleSSLS6 I do not have the sheet music. I play by ear. Maybe google it? Sorry!

[jw870206]

@andymst3000 Good ear. That's how I learned piano. Kind of wish I had learned to read notes first.

@ChevelleSSLS6

Hi- I love this song, especially the Interlude. I have many 70's songbooks with Layla, but have never found the "exit". BUT today I stopped in Barnes and Noble for a browse. I have never checked out their songbooks, but just happened to stumble upon the section. I FOUND IT!!! The book is "Play the Hits, Decade by Decade, 1970's." The song is 7 pages long, with 2 1/2 pages of the exit...I have been playing it all afternoon. It is beautiful. Hope this helps....

[SuperLunchTime]

@mytube5828 did you happen to put it online?

[Tom6093]

There are 3 songs that have great powerful , and beautiful piano parts. Obviously Layla and the ending to the original version. Summer at Highland Falls by Billy Joel, and Faithfully by Journey. These are my favorites. Feel free to argue.

[PlasticJane1]

You have quite a talent to play by ear. I do the same but I'm no where NEAR as good as you lol. Props.

[ravedragonoflight]

This song actually was about George Harrison's wife. . . you did a very good job of playing it, a couple minor slip-ups but better than i can do!

[RocketHorse569]

i love the piano its so beautiful <3

[CaOTiiQ]

Eric clapton wrote this song about patty boyd, it was writen by clapton not another band member. Also just to let you know tears in heaven is about Eric claptons son who fell out of a window and died, so please dont listen to retards who talk absolute shit lol

[FluffyGiraffe21]

stop talking about jim gordon killing his mum! aaa! its an amazing love song with beautiful music and u guys are talkin about murdering some guy's mum! :P

[porschie]

dedicated to my neice layla mercedes! havnt seen her since august 2008 cos me and her ma are di**heads! bet ur gorgeous baby girl xxxx

[musicfreak41092]

cryofan, your right! The guy who wrote this song was Jim Gordon who was the drummer for Derek & The Dominos. I killed his mother with a hammer the DAY after he wrote the peice, I'm kind of obbsesd with Eric Clapton, that's why i know that.

To andymst3000, is there anyway you could do it again but put the camera in a place where you can see what your playing. I'm trying to figure out the song and I'm terrible @ reading music, thanks

[Connerthedrummer]

lol dude, you wrote that you killed Jim Gordon's mother.

[GaMeRuInEr]

1. You didn't kill his mother lol, he did

2. He didn't do it the day after he wrote the piece. The piece was written in 1970, he killed his mother in the 1980s

[senrab316]

musicfreak41092 it wasn't the day after. This song originally came out in 1970. It was released again as a single in 1971 and 1972.

He killed his mother in 1983.

[cryofan]

by the way, the layla coda was not written by clapton, by by some other member of the dominoes, a little known person who later on murdered his mother because he was schizo

[cryofan]

eggsalent!

[teeceew]

absoutly brilliant, awsome, best part of a brilliant tune can be played so loud over and over again without getting bored of the tune thanks for sharing

[itsahypocriticalword]

Man you're good. I wish I had the Sheets for this...

[Rollin558]

Wow. Great job.

[musician340]

this song makes me want to cry

[gxcope]

need someone standing on the piano with an electric guitar playing the string exit..

Pure Excelense my friend.

[eggfriedmice1]

what are the chords you use?

Totally agree, it's the best i can find

[Cassius10761]

I am so envious, its scary.

How is it that so many people have posted this song on youtube, when the sheet music for it does not seem to exist?

[andymst3000]

I actually don't know where the sheet music would be. I only play by ear and I can't read music, lol.

[andmarkcg]

That is incredible

[PianoAnalyst]

Well you know, the original guy who made the piano part wrote it by ear. :P

[Joe22c]

People like this song that much.

When I first heard llaro's cover of this song 3 years ago I loved it so much that I re-started the piano, and learned the whole thing without sheets, without tutorials. I ran back and forth b/w my computer and my piano, getting the keys by trial and error lol.

Now a days I've learned how to play just about any song via chords. Also, there is now a tutorial floating around on youtube for this song ;)

Wish it was there when I was trying to learn it hahaha

[mytube5828]

@Cassius10761

Check out my post! I found It!

[nevillebartos789]

Great cover man. Such a moving piece of music. This and the sax solo from Jungleland send chills.

[bergin1999]

this simple piano just makes me go into this daze, in my on world. i dunno how to explain it but its gold!

[mattgav23]

i played this at a show a few weeks ago and i actually started to cry a little while playing it. great job!

[fedemonsalve]

this always reminds me of goodfellas

[bobem12]

oh me too, this guy rocs

[MLGxCrewProductions]

yeah im subscribin!

[andymst3000]

Sorry about the sour notes at 2:32!

[dinooney]

Am addicted to it

[jivechump]

do you know where I can find the sheet music for this?

[andymst3000]

Your best bet would probably be to google it. Hope this helps...

[dinooney]

Hopefully this may help even though it is simple, but lots of people are confused by which are notes to play for the left hand on 00.25/00.26 seconds in the video. They are B flat and G sharp played together.

[Dwslassls]

Loved it!

[jagheterdaniellundin]

Really nice tune! =)

[parsleyone]

Very nice...this song could inspire anyone to play piano. Good job, miss that instrument in the background of the original though. Do you know what it is?

[micoluce]

Duane Allman on slide guitar

[dinooney]

However, consider the gruelling pains of musical theory of ABRSM. I much enjoy practical and could do without musical theory from Grade 5 onwards thanks!!
