Unfortunately, I don't have any sheet music -- it's just my own [unwritten] arrangement.

you played so cool. you're professional musician aren't you?

[ToddGates]

@Netoenot

> you played so cool.

Thanks!

> you're professional musician aren't you?

I played professionally from 1984-1989. I gave up playing professionally when I found that a career as a musician + wife + kids does not lend itself to a happy life! (Now the only place I perform is YouTube.)

[RPLKINKEL]

The freak who wants to play this at their wedding needs a leash!

[ToddGates]

@RPLKINKEL

> The freak who wants to play this at their wedding needs a leash!

The request was, I admit, a bit .... unusual.

[RPLKINKEL]

I play piano myself, and it is hard to find a good tutorial for the song (unplugged) Could you make a tutorial.

[ToddGates]

@RPLKINKEL

> Could you make a tutorial.

Work & family responsibilities unfortunately leave me little time for YouTube at all, let alone making tutorials ... but if it helps, here are the chords:

INTRO: D, Eb

VERSE AND BRIDGE: D, Eb flat 5

[notes in the Eb flat 5 chord = Eb, G, A]

CHORUS: A, E, F

Best of luck!

[gerico123454]

@RPLKINKEL i thort unplugged was just when they used acustic instruments for there songs not acshaly the name of the song

[TheLadybug1122]

This is amazing. I was looking online for a piano version of Freak on a Leash to walk down the isle to. I was wondering, could I adapt this and play it at my wedding? I wouldn't use it for any other purpose.

[ToddGates]

@TheLadybug1122

> This is amazing.

Thanks!

> could I adapt this and play it at my wedding?

Absolutely - I'd be flattered!

(But why, if I may ask, "Freak on a Leash" for a wedding?)

[jorganbon]

@TheLadybug1122 Lol, no offense but this is a little fucked up to be played at a wedding. Do you take this person to be your freak on a leash? I do.

[Admergon]

Lol I enjoy how you reply to nearly all of the posts, but I just wanna say that you did a fantastic job with this. While I disagree that it sounds creepier than the original, it's certainly something I could go to sleep to :)

[ToddGates]

@Admergon

> I enjoy how you reply to nearly all of the posts

Having a manageable # of responses to make is one of the advantages of not being super popular!

> I just wanna say that you did a fantastic job with this.

Thanks!

> it's certainly something I could go to sleep to :)

I agree it would be easier to sleep to this than the original, altho both might result in having more than one nightmare.

[XEvanescence4EvaX]

I love this version and you play it so well but I can't find sheet music

Any chance you can make a tutorial please... Ive never taken lessons so ive never been taught how to break down chords

[ToddGates]

@XEvanescence4EvaX

> I love this version and you play it so well

Thank you!

> but I can't find sheet music

Even if you find sheet music, it would be different from this version (unless you can find someone who transcribed my arrangement).

> Any chance you can make a tutorial please

Unfortunately no - work & family dominates all my time.

> ive never been taught how to break down chords

If you can find someone to help you, see my outline in the Description Box.

[sexiibabii5478]

can u send me da sheet music please?

[ToddGates]

1 of 2:

Hi Arianna,

I'm sorry to say I don't have any sheet music: this arrangement is just something I came up with on my own.

But if it helps, here are the chords:

[ToddGates]

INTRO: D, Eb

VERSE: D, Eb flat 5 [notes in the Eb flat 5 chord = Eb, G, A]

(The verse has two separate sections, but the chords are the same in both.)

CHORUS: A, E, F

Best of luck!

- Todd

[OwnDecision]

Cool!

Can you give notes or make a short tutorial? =)

[ToddAllenGates]

> Cool!

Thank you!

> Can you give notes or make a short tutorial? =)

I unfortunately don't have time to make tutorials, but here are the chords:

INTRO: D, Eb

VERSE: D, Eb flat 5

[notes in the Eb flat 5 chord = Eb, G, A]

CHORUS: A, E, F

[OwnDecision]

Thanks a lot! ^^

[ToddAllenGates]

> I never knew KoRn could sound so ..... beautiful

The beauty is right there in the melody! (The piano just brings it out in a different way.)

> this is soooo good

Thanks you!

[sanchises]

I'd had done it different, but still very nice.

[ToddGates]

> ... still very nice

Thank you!

[thequestinband]

is that the piano from the unplugged version, very very awsome!!!

[ToddAllenGates]

> is that the piano from the unplugged version, very very awsome!!!

I actually used the chord progression from the original version, which is slightly different from the unplugged version.

[thequestinband]

i wish i was good enough at piano to do that, i can play like home sweet home, dont stop belivin n like hy jude, u know simple ones, still amazing cover

[zookbots]

nice job dude, sick

[ToddGates]

> nice job

Thank you!

[refridgeratory]

That was one of the best Korn piano covers I've ever heard! Amazing job!

[ToddAllenGates]

> That was one of the best Korn piano covers I've ever heard!

Thanks—and I'm honored to see that you're featuring this vid on your channel!

[tetsuoshema]

Rated and Fav'd!

Todd you impress me with every video you make.

[ToddGates]

> Fav'd

I'm honored--thanks!

[ToddAllenGates]

> ... You do it justice, well done.

Well, the piano can't hope to match Lee's vocals, but thank you!!

[ToddGates]

> Is it possible to get this korn sheet music if you even used any

Hi DawnTroll,

Unfortunately I don't have any sheet music for this—it's just my own arrangement. But if you scroll down to my reply to missyrawien, you'll see that I spelled out the chords I'm playing.

[ToddGates]

> wow this is so good.. you're amazing when it comes to the piano. Korn is my favorite band ever and you did this song justice.. :)

Thanks, Rachael --- and I'm honored to see that you saved this as a favorite!

[missyrawien]

Ooh now that was a really good cover. I love that song, intro is just so unnerving. On piano it sounds even more eerie. Really good! Dare I ask for the main chords in it..?

[ToddAllenGates]

> I love that song, intro is just so unnerving. On piano it sounds even more eerie

Yes--in fact it creeps my wife out whenever I play it!

> the main chords?

Intro: D, Eb

Verse: D, Eb flat 5 [notes in the Eb flat 5 chord = Eb, G, A]

Chorus: A, E, F

Best of luck with it!

[freethinker3161]

this was so fucking good, wow, i loved it and favorited it. thanks for posting this..

[ToddAllenGates]

> this was so fucking good, wow, i loved it and favorited it. thanks for posting this.

Thanks! The song takes on a very different feel on piano than a whole band, but its creepy beauty comes out either way.

[freethinker3161]

and your series u just finished posting blew me away. great work, im glad dasamericanatheist sent me your way. peace and love

[ToddAllenGates]

> i'm glad dasamericanatheist sent me your way

I'm glad he did too! Thanks to DasAmericanAtheist's and RabidApe's endorsements, my ToddAllenGates channel received over 500 new subs in two days. The support has been incredible.

> your series u just finished posting blew me away. great work,

Thanks--much appreciated!

[GruntyAssassin]

While I love your videos.....I think is quite fucking stupid and attention whorish that you put both your books on your keoboard.

[ToddAllenGates]

> While I love your videos

Thanks!

> I think is quite ... attention whorish that you put both your books on your keyboard.

Ha-ha, yes - guilty as charged!

But my only regret is that I'm not a *successful* enough of a whore to quit my day job!

As it is, I'm limited to only doing my whoring as a hobby.

[GruntyAssassin]

I LOLed at your response.

Also, those look like mint condition copies. Do you keep a bunch just lying around your home or do you have OCD when it comes to books?

[ToddGates]

> do you have OCD when it comes to books?

No - all the books I actually read are dog-eared and have pencil-notes all over them.

> or do you keep a bunch just lying around your home

Yes - so I have copies to give away in case a good opportunity for publicity whoring comes my way (although I suppose "giving them away" makes me more of a publicity *slut* than a publicity whore).

[jsmxwll]

I can't get over how pleasantly creepy this song sounds to me. Does that sound strange? -Max

[ToddAllenGates]

> I can't get over how pleasantly creepy this song sounds to me. Does that sound strange?

Not at all--I feel the same way!

[ToddAllenGates2]

> just beautiful

Thanks Christian!

VERY well played!

5stars and favourite

[ToddAllenGates]

> VERY well played!

Thanks---and feel free to add the vocals!

[Traxx01]

It would be cocky of me to say, ok no problem...

I'm looking at the lyrics and hearing his voice now (unplugged)...very special...a challenge indeed.

Who knows, you might see a responce pop up... ;p

[ToddGates]

> I'm looking at the lyrics and hearing his voice now (unplugged)...very special...a challenge indeed.

Yes, the vocal line has several fairly dissonant sections. The reason I had to re-do this video is because when I first recorded it in January, I hadn't listened carefully enough to the melody: I made the mistake of assuming it fell neatly within the chords.

[thePuzzledDragon]

Interesting modulation. Love that you have your books in view!
