How to Play Gymnopedies No. 1 by Erik Satie

[jazminsouth]

I'm not much of a piano player, but I really don't understand how to do this with just two hands?! AH!

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

@jazminsouth I have a video where I'm playing it, and you could watch that one and see what I do. Or you could watch my other tutorial of it and I explain everything about where your hands go.

Awesome! Thanks so much for this post! Cheers!

I am so lost now O.o

[Nikkolaz0]

can you give me the .midi?

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

@Nikkolaz0 I don't know if you tried the website, but you should check again, I just re-uploaded it to where it was supposed to be.

If you hadn't checked there in the first place, that's where it is.

[kalonjikalonji]

what is this software called? is it setup true a midi cable? and is it a good way to start learning to play the piano? :) thanks

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

@kalonjikalonji It's Synthesia. You can use a MIDI cable with it. I don't think it's the best way to start learning piano, but if you have a good memory and sight reading problems, it's a good way to learn individual songs. Taking at least a few lessons should help you get used to playing piano. This just teaches songs.

[kalonjikalonji]

@10sTinTh0uGhT thank you very much, for your answer :)

[blueblue640]

The only problem with this is they dont tell you the fingering

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

@blueblue640 Well, at least for this one you can watch people play it and get the gist of it. Generally, fingering is not a problem for me because sometimes the best fingering just makes sense.

piano hero ..... epic

[frenchfrieater77]

this is hard!!

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

@frenchfrieater77 There are harder songs.

[ohcoolstorybro]

Is this a game? :o If it is, what's it called?

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

@ohcoolstorybro It's not really a "game," but it can be used as such. It's called "Synthesia," and it's absolutely free. Just Google it. You have to have a MIDI to USB conversion cord to "play," a cheap one costs about $5. You don't need one to use the program to learn songs. You can find all the MIDI files for all the tutorials I have on my blog, a link to that is on my channel page. Nice username, by the way.

[JCAznDude]

"Ready?_"

[HoneyKikai]

@JCAznDude Haha, yeah I came and looked for this after I saw the disappearance of haruhi suzumiya trailer lol. i wanna play this!!

[ElArboool]

what program is that?

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

@ElArboool Synthesia. To download it, type it into Google and the link should come up, or go to a more recent video of mine and look in the description.

[murphy13704]

Gosh, with this kind of tutorial I could play anything! Why did I waste my money on piano lessons!!

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

@murphy13704 That almost sounds sarcastic... o.O

[TaffyRaphie]

helps a lot. especially for someone starting out with no lessons.

[10sTinTh0uGhT]

@TaffyRaphie I know, right? That's why I do these. When I started doing piano stuff ~2 years ago I would've loved to have had stuff like this. So that's why I do this, to allow others to have opportunities.

[TaffyRaphie]

@10sTinTh0uGhT Many beginners appreciate this. Thanks.

[Sword1479]
