[gamer025]

great vid. you should get a tripod or something to hold your camera to make it easier for you and better for everyone else. nevermind the asshole comments though.

[SmallvilleFann1983]

Does Anyone Know What Year This Song Came Out????

[gamer025]

Van Halen - For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. June 18, 1991. Google is your friend =D

[JungBucket]

fuckin' a, fuck.

lol

[prevenge]

i guess you got the message across.. but man.. ever heard of "take 2"?

you can film yourself doing something a few times and pick the best one where you don't fuck up.

it's a FACT!

a fun fact!

[vanhlnfan4life]

this dude is a fuckin retard. I bet he looks just like butthead. this shit is agonizing. failure isnt even the word, its more like some handicapped kid jerking off his little pud

[Patman9393]

hey man no matter how bad he recorded this video, he still fucking taught to play this insane song by van halen

[ASMILEMUSIC]

There is a failure: The correct note at 1.35 must be a "d" not an "e".

[1978VH1978]

You should specify which song.

[prevenge]

he did.. it's right now.

when?

just then.

[KBBitten]

Thank you. Was thinking of this song and found your clip and now I know how to play it...almost. :)

[buffalo2383]

5 stars man thanks alot

[tedman500]

63falcondude - not that it matters but youre a faggot.. truly.. what do care that he said f*ck.. People like you amaze me

[63falcondude]

watch your mouth jackass

[3rdvoodoo]

ha you said mouth

[imeighteen18not]

hey 63falcondude, fuck fuck fuck fuck

[Iceage31580]

@63falcondude oh wow wat da fuck

[plinko747]

Great video! Thanks a lot bro!

[sek2126]

You're the best. When someone is trying to learn a song, they don't care how fast and good someone else can do it. They need it close up and they need it slow...which is what you provide. Nice work. Keep rocking!

[sek2126]

Nice!

[pawprints001]

it was pretty good! but dont swear.. mby you could have recorded it again. not bad though

[xangba23]

great video dude but if you could tell me the keys to the main riff that would be great

[Props2u]

Hey thanks! Works for me! 5 stars

[Moptop1234]

DUDE! Thank you for doing that slow. For what ever reason I've not been able to pull that lick off the CD by ear. It's just been confusing me. I've been playing guitar with this band for some time but no keyboardist. So I switched and I'm practicing like crazy and trying to find the riffs that will enable to band to put together the songs we all love. So "Right Now" has been on the to do list and now I got that intro nailed & I owe it to YOU!! YouDA MAN, DUDE! Thanx again!

[HipitchedSteve]

I can sing with you now!

[owned4life50]

dude, plz no sweats ur not cool " fuk a " hahaha, no dude if u wanna play goood look at kevin abei dude this guy is the stuff u dont suck id give u a 4 out of 10

[lillivplayer54]

what the hell r u talking?

[TaylorRock123]

You're video was barely helpful for me and I didn't appreciate hearing you sware thinking that you're some sort of macho idiot who knows how to play the keyboard. Go to hell, THANKS.

[henkrik92]

u helped me :D, i know that now, it was soo random but when u got it in ur blood, its plain ownage :D

[gravitythong]

thats all i needed thanks

[Chadner]

Aw, that was cool as hell!

I just got my keyboard yesterday and this video's been more than extremely helpful! Thanks a lot dude, post some more keyboard stuff dude, fuck'em haters!

[fredrgv]

That part when you said "Fuckin A" was classic!! hahaha! Dude it sounds awesome! Dont worry about the negative feedbacks, you will never please everyone. Some people who dont have anything going for them tend to put others down to lift themselves up. Keep it up!

[fendorstratocaster]

good god some of u ppl are making ridiculus comments. seriously any of u "real" musicians should know that playing a song slow is harder than playing it regular speed (and if u make a comment saying "no its not" than ur not an actual musician lol) some of these ppl on youtube make me sick. good vid man. ive been wanting to learn this song for a while and now i can. to u ppl who are whining about a mistake, well youve probably nvr achieved anything anyways.

[owned4life50]

wow what a goood musician comment playing fast and not careful is better than playing slow and careful very nice comment mr. musicain

[tfziegler]

Thanks for the post. It is very helpful. What keyboard are you using?

[ermollejuo]

your finger looks like ET's

[owned4life50]

lol i little

[rockmyram]

this video is extremely helpful, i have been wanting to play this song for a very long time. Grand job

[BlueangelM]

O man thats hilarious.. love how u said fuckin A.. that made me pay attention even more.. hahahaha

[CaLbaTr00se]

this has been said before but to some it up:

dont bitch people, he's teaching how to play a kickass piano intro to a good song just cause.

if you wanna learn that badly go buy sheet music or pay someone whos job is to teach. a true musician isnt someone who plays perfectly

[ThunderousBuns]

Thanks for the video...I can play the intro now! :D

[mikemack28]

I think some of you are taking this way too seriously. I decided to do this on a whim and was using some crappy camera..so I didn't feel like starting over and doing it again, and yes I said "fuck"...big fucking deal, relax, it is a free video on youtube.

I'm not a professional piano instructor nor do I intend to act like one.

quit acting like a fucking baby lighten up

glad to see some people appreciated this for it's purpose

[ReardenTech]

Totally dude, I just got my first keyboard and your video is helping me greatly. Anyone who's trying to hate on it can shove it. Let them put forth something better instead of whining on on YouTube.

[StudioMonstar]

@mikemack28 You did a great job bro, I respect it. Thanks for the video :)

[Tiyod123]

Good one Mike ! You give me a good hand to learn that nice piano part . Appreciate ......

[tntkop]

I never said he was a professional. But if you're going to put out an "instructional" video, personally...I expect more. Why would someone want to learn from a video that has screw-ups in it? It ruins the video & it discredits the "instructor". That's my point. Or, I could give in & say, "that's THE best instructional video I've ever seen!"

[takemeforgranted]

Who gives a junk about the video's flaws if it gets the point/instruction across?

There were no other ones on YouTube that I found for this song, and this one was just fine.

He fixed the playing after he messed up, the end.

I don't think it really matters in the grand scheme of things.

Just a thought :)

I did really like the video ! as I suck at playing by ear. [I always start out in the wrong key.]

[tntkop]

Who give a junk about flaws? Uh...pretty much every self-respecting musician I've ever known & played with. What makes this video even more subject to scrutiny is the profanity he uses. Like I mentioned before, he can't play the song correctly, but he makes up for it an F-Bomb. Very inspiring.

[tntkop]

I also like how he says, "then you do that, then go to this, and do that again..." For those who DO want to learn, how about telling them what notes & chords you are playing? If you're going to instruct, then instruct. What teacher worth a darn says, "do this, then do that, then do this again"?

[takemeforgranted]

As a musician myself, I make mistakes all the time.

As far as I know, he wasn't performing.

A camera, unless for self-use and or personal instruction, is not much of an audience.

Like I said, he got his message across and I appreciated it.

[fendorstratocaster]

hey tntkop the only thing im really wondering about here is "why the hell are u just obsessing over this one vid?"

u must have no life at all if u do this w/ every vid u see

[takemeforgranted]

Wow.

The previous comments have me flabbergasted.

Anyway, despite your "mishap," thank you very much for posting this because I got to see the notes and the order and everything.

Thanks very much :)

[willprich]

hey tntkop, if you mess up when typing a response to someone's video, go back and retype it! MASTER YOUR INSTRUMENT :p

The purpose of the video was to show us how to play it and it served it purpose for me just fine.

[loverofsith]

The mistakes show how us real pro-musicians fuck it up all the time too... lol sorry about that but its a fact of life, when i play live, noone in the audience even(usually) notices *thankfully.. if i get the odd notes and chords wrong.. similar here its about feel and vibe... the right feeling seems to send it like 'esp' to the listeners. does that make any sence to anyone.....?? -(i could always use a sequenced part but that cheats and pisses off the drummer...)

[tntkop]

I agree....live "mess-ups" are a inevitable part of playing live. But this ISN'T live. It's SUPPOSED to be an "instructional video". Let me ask (all of you) this: Do you own any instructional videos? If so, do ANY of them start off with a "fuck-up" in the first note of the first song? Learn the song, or DON'T learn the song, who cares? But rewind the tape & record a CLEAN version & put THAT on the web, NOT a messed up version. Or can he not play it clean more than once?

[wampler258]

i have the sheet music and thats how its played. i guess tntkop just doesnt know shit about van halen (the song sounds that way,) or reading music.

[tntkop]

Wampler258 - You have the sheet music to that song? Great! Does your sheet music have the "fuck-ups" in too, because I own EVERY Van Halen song they've recorded...and their versions DON'T have the "fuck-ups" in it. I guess when YOU play, you consider your "fuck-ups" as improv, huh? My point - dipshit - is that he should learn better & NOT post the "fuck-ups"...jeez...its like talking to retards on here.

[wampler258]

Every Van Halen song. Thats a lot of music. i bet your a 25 year old college drop out who does nothing but sexually solicit young women in chat rooms. Basically i think your a dumb ass. just to let you know. because listen to the song and you will hear that this is right.

[tntkop]

Yes, that IS a lot of music. Funny how we go from talking about music & YOU feel the need to talk about sexual solicitation of young women in chat rooms. I think your latent pedophilic tendencies are affecting your ability to hear "clams". I'll bet your favorite chord progression is F-A-G(remember the 'A' is a minor chord).

[wampler258]

oh my gosh you are just halarious arnt you. if i didnt know better i would say you were a comedian.

so if this isnt the right way to play it post your own video and message me. i think you just like starting stupid shit.

notice how you didnt deny anything that i said last time.

[tntkop]

You're the DUMBASS here. Try to stay with me on this: I have said all along that if you're going to post an INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO on how to play the song, then DON'T MESS UP WHEN YOU PLAY IT! Watch the video again: At 00:37, he MESSES UP and says, "Fuckin' A...fuck, start over." THAT is my point you moron. Once he played it, yes, he played it correctly. But if you are going to "instruct"...then DON'T MESS UP. Rewind the tape, RE-RECORD A CLEAN VERSION...and post THAT on the internet. Twit.

[tntkop]

WAMPLER258 - Maybe I'm just giving you too much credit. Sorry, but I assume that most people can hear it when he messes up. But even if you DID miss it, the guy says, "Fuckin' A....fuck...start over". That's also a clue to when he messed up. Apparently you're not only a twit, but you're a tone-deaf twit as well.

[wampler258]

your changing the main point after you realized that he played it right. your original claim was that he played it incorrectly not that he messed up at one point in the video. so ya who is the DUMBASS here.

[tntkop]

I am NOT changing my point- rather Im backing off & not being as harsh as I can- & should- be.If u play a song & mess up & THEN finish with no other mistakes- sorry thats NOT paying it correctly. But if u believe u can mess up & then save urself by starting over & playig it clean the 2nd time,I guess thats where we differ: you believe thats ok whereas whereas any true musician doesnt.

[wampler258]

and all im saying is that hes not a professional, he doesnt get paid to do this, so he doesnt have to make a perfect video. If a person wanted to learn the part then this video is more that enough to teach them.

[aaronchungrulez]

not the best tutorial, but pretty good!

[pianoguy31692]

fukin a!!!

[tntkop]

Thanks for dropping the "F-Bomb"...you'll make a great piano teacher someday, but today? No, you're not even close to being a mediocre teacher. First, you should learn to play the song. Second, if you can't get even get through the first part of the intro without messing up and dropping an "F-Bomb", rewind the tape, turn it off, put it away, and practice until you can. Otherwise, you should lay off about two weeks and then quit.

[tubecube14]

what do you mean "and then quit"?

[tntkop]

I mean QUIT. Quit trying to teach a song when you can't play it yourself. Have enough respect for your craft to master your instrument before trying to tell others how to play it.

[tubecube14]

ok got it

[tntkop]

Or...ya gotta get thicker skin. Surely you can understand that if someone posts a flawed version on the internet, it will be noticed. So, my point (sir), really is to KEEP PLAYING. Keep playing until you have a CLEAN instructional video. Post THAT video & I'll line up & view it. It will make YOU look better, & actually, you will be more proud of that work & will receive more positive feedback, which in turn motivates u, as opposed to all this negative conversation about the flawed video.

[allawil81]

people hate perfectionist fags like you. you don't know how to appreciate. at least he took time to teach it.

[tntkop]

I'm not a perfectionist. But if you're gonna post a video "teaching" how to play a song, the least you could do is know how to play it yourself. If you mess up, rewind the tape & do it again & then when you get it right, post THAT video...not one showing mistakes. I'm not a perfectionist, but my standards are apparently higher than your's.

[tntkop]

allawil81 - I also like how people like you always gotta insert your sexual preference into conversations. I know, I know, you're not a fag...but I'll bet your boyfriend is. And you say "at least he took the time to teach it." Yeah...HE TAUGHT IT WRONG. That's my point. Also, "allawil" not like you if you are a fag.

[allawil81]

lol, why did you make two replies? i don't know, says a lot about you. you are the overly defensive type. probably insecure. apparently i'm not gay. i'm straight. and no one needs elitist bastards like you posting comments like the one you do on a website meant for members of various standards and skill levels. just shut the fuck up tntkop.

[tntkop]

allawil81 - uh...shut the fuck up? Or what? Ok. You go ahead & learn songs the wrong way. I'm sure you'll be a big hit at the school for the deaf. But if u have ANY respect 4 yourself OR your music...learn it the right way...regardless of your skill level.

[mikemack28]

How is it wrong princess?

[tntkop]

How is it wrong? Are you kidding me? Did you even listen to the song? I'll give you a hint....when you hear the CLAM or the CLANK....in other words, the WRONG NOTES, that's "how it is wrong".

[mikemack28]

those were just slip ups, which i corrected. all the other notes are exactly the same as the actual song. your ears must be fucked up

[tntkop]

Oh, by the way...YOU are the one who brought up fags. The topic never entered my thought process. I'll bet your favorite chord progression is F-A-G. I'm sure you're a "major" F-A-G...just make sure your "A" is a minor. Or do you know the difference?

[arfuswrinkledinks]

as much as I think you're an idiot, that was honestly hilarious.

[tntkop]

Yes....that IS hilarious.

I guess you also play in the "Mediocre Band", huh?

Who else have you played for?

The Clanks?

Deaf Leopard?

Moron Five?

All American Retards?

The Pretenders?

Luke Warm Chili Peppers?

[arfuswrinkledinks]

if you're talking to me, I don't really play any instruments and I'm not that musically inclined so I don't really take offense to that.

[tntkop]

Sorry, I assumed you played an instrument.

The reason for my assumption is that I (and apparently ONLY "I") believe one should learn to play the song CORRECTLY before you post a "instructional video". 

And for that, you called me an idiot.

I'm sorry to have assumed you were a mediocre musician.

I guess you're just an idiot too.

[saxman3994]

def leppard rocks you idiot.

besides are you in a band? if so let's see a link for a video.

[tntkop]

Yes I know all about DEF LEPPARD; I was being facetious u twit. Did u not see how I purposely misspelled their name? Let me explain: The Clanks- as in a bad note; Deaf Leopard- spelled DEAF, not DEF; MORON5- instead of Maroon5; AA Retards- instead AA Rejects; The Pretenders- as in PRETENDING to be a musician. LukeWarmChiliPeppers- instead of RedHot CPers. The jokes arent funny if I have to explain them to u. And YES I an in a band, in fact several, have gigs every week, and u?

[saxman3994]

did i say i was in a band? i was just wondering because you were making fun of that guy by saying "I guess you also play in the Mediocre Band Huh?" and your in a REALLY GOOD band then why don't you post a video? (by the way i have written three songs already for a band i just need to start it)

[jonathaniscool531]

ha. not really, go fuck yourself and learn some shit about music.

[1powerpower]

Blood Klat Maan. You be blouse and skirts mean to the whitey.

[CLHairMetal]

"fucking A" haha. thankss man!

[johnnyheck]

Thanks dude, really have wanted to learn this.

[chriskevinkyleshawn]
