Tutorial - How to play Victors Piano Solo - Part 2/3

[LexieLovesDomo]

the first one was VERY helpful, i got that one down. but this one, i can't follow along./: they're great and all, but i need to know the notes.

[LexieLovesDomo]

do you think you can give me the chords for it? & it sounds really good!

[sophiestyles3]

sorry but this is really hard to learn. your hands are covering the notes you are playing and it would help if u could say what the notes even are. sorry but it really hard. not being mean, just tell u how it could be better

[thomandy]

@sophiestyles3 I agree it could be alot better :) But it seams lots and lots people have managed to get help from it still :)

[blleng1]

thank you man! your tutorial is the best i think

[XAcxurAteShotxX]

Also when you stopped the video to show the notes B F sharp and D sharp, did you mean A, F sharp and D sharp? Just wondering

Thanks again for the awesome tutorial :)

[XAcxurAteShotxX]

Thank you so much for these tutorials :)

[MsBuzzerBee]

This is a slightly different version to the score I have :/ this seems like it's been made a bit more difficult, and it sounds different to in the film...

[AyaSarhan]

HIIIIIIIIII!! :p

i was wondering if its possible to play the whole piece on the key board! its just i really wanted to play this piece for ages :/ and ahhhhh :/

[thomandy]

@AyaSarhan Depends on how many keys you got. . I think you have to re-arrange one chord on the smaller keyboards, so that you play the Key - one octave higher, then at least the Harmony will stay the same, slightly different feeling - But the melody will fit, for sure! :) Good luck

[AyaSarhan]

@thomandy Thank you very much!

[rantaytay]

I LOOOOOOOVE UR ACCENT XD its SOOOOOOOOOO CUTE HAHA ;D

[thomandy]

@rantaytay Hehe :) Thanks I guess!:)

[SuperBlackrat]

iv wanted to p[lay this song really bad for years i never really could get the hang of i just cant read complicated notes but i love this song so much

[LunaSims]

easy! :D

Thank you very much for sharing :)

[myHoney2908]

It is so hard, but it is a great tutorial ;) Well done :)

[ModernKnifer3]

Fuck haven't got enough keys on my keyboard :(

[myHoney2908]

@ModernKnifer3 Me too.. that is so mean :(

[1992GamerGirl]

Never mind I figured it out^^' Thanks for ur vid :)

[1992GamerGirl]

Too bad you missed some notes around 3:35 cuz it's exactly the part where I'm stuck atm thats why I'm searching youtube for help. :( I don't quite get how you explain it to be..

[TypeORedPill]

Btw, Q: I think I have noticed something about the way the music is played in the movie versus how it is shown and taught on the music sheet. I had a suspicion before but now I am convinced - in the movie this piece is played 1 key higher! Am I correct?

To see for yourself what I am talking about, please listen to this movie clip posted by someone else:

(click & paste after "=" without quotes) "yOCZ5K1vxCQ"

[cjonquit]

I DONT GET THIS :(

[Stormyday360]

This helped sooooo much! 

[jedichoccake]

I am having so much fun learning this! THANK YOU!!

[2916mimi]

can you send me the the music sheet?

[spencaro]

thanks for taking the time to post these lessons

[slaptper]

this video is also great. i also learned alot from it. :) XD

[gonzijermz]

hahahhaha 3:06

[gonzijermz]

hahahahha, go to 3:05

[bianxter01]

This part is kinda hard. I'm confused with this. I wanted to download the sheet but too bad I can't read notes. I can only read chords. I only taught myself how to play the piano and how to read chords. But not notes.... :(

[thomandy]

@bianxter01 I got a video at my channel that people find helpful! "How to read sheets" - Look it up, and you might be on your way to reading sheets soon" :)

[bianxter01]

@thomandy okay. thanks! :D

[Winesity]

@bianxter01 how can you read chords but not notes?!?! Chords are just notes put together!

[MrLover135]

God bless you

[XHermioneJPotterX]

I confused in the left hand..

[XHermioneJPotterX]

I can't see very clearly when you play the left hand..

[cookielovemusic]

nononononnononono!!!! ican´t!!!! :( can you give me the notes?

[xomelxo92]

You are soo helpful!

[deyka100]

thank you for this tutorial`s you are a exellent teacher thak you n.n

[pollyboy12]

why do u play the 4 note of the 4 measure as an A? im pretty sure it's a B on the sheet music

[xpussycatdollxx]

your good, but going a little too fast:(x

[ncdtube]

Thank you So much Thomas for sharing your talents with us so that we can also learn. This is a great tutorial. With your help I have learned this so fast!! Thank you!

[chikita10101]

your very good and thank you for the tutorials :) it would be easier though if you said the notes while you show us your hands.

[xxlucygoosiexx]

You are an excellent teacher =)

Thank you!

[jalava78]

What I did was I mapped the rhythm first for both hands out in 16th notes to paper and then learning to tap that rhythm in eyes closed with any speed first together and then moving back to tapping that with hands separately only. Now I'm working on left hand pattern at 30bpm and working myself up to regular speed. Then right hand and finally both hands.

My method for speed is that I start from 20bpm if there are no errors I up 4bpm and each error lowers 2bpm with 20bpm minimum.

[LoftyProduction]

All that fuss to learn an easy song? XD

[jalava78]

I find extreme difficulty on 13th and 14th measure as the rythm is pretty tricky. I wonder how should I practice this slowly, I keep loosing track of rhythm when training very slowly (<20bpm) , perhaps calculating 12 16th beats could help here..

[thomandy]

Not sure really.. But you are on to something, try to find the strong beats, that might help to keep the rhythm!:) .. Also be Very confident hands separate before you put them together will help a lot, unless you where talking about hands separately?!:) .. Cause its hard to concentrate on timing etc of you also have to struggle with the memory.. Also try to don only One and one bar LOTS of times in a row until you are confident, its easier to connect bars than do many bars at a time, perhaps?!:)

[jalava78]

When you are missing the 3 notes on left hand, your comments says play "A, F#, D#", shouldn't it be B, F#, D#?

At least how i read that on my notes.

[thomandy]

... yeah! :( .. Thanks for letting me know, I have fixed it now!:) One can obviously tell that this is my first Tutorial.. :p

[coolgaljose]

:) I love you you are AMAZING thank you sooo much :D

[thomandy]

Hi :)

Tips; Play SLOWER ;) You have to go VERY slow in the beginning, so slow that you don't make ANY mistakes :) Then after some days, you will just go faster and faster until you are up to speed :) I got a video lesson on the matter, cause this is a major issue for many people :) They dont go slow enough :)

[0Smilelikeyoumeanit]

This is pretty difficult :S

I cant read piano music and ive never taken lessons, but i know part 1 completely now, thanks so much for the tutorial. Literally couldnt be learning it with it :P

[cookiekarlijn]

I'm quite far, it really works! wow!

[cookiekarlijn]

this one is far more difficult than the first one.. and why does he say scottish at the end? :O

[daleo1992]

where can i get this sheets, because i have some other with some changes in theleft and at the biginning. so where i get the sheets from this video?

[thomandy]

[rtamiru]

Hi

this tutorial was so amazingly helpful

ive been trying to learn this peace for a whole year and this helped so much you cannot even imagine thanks so much.

Oh and please please make a tutorial for Bella's Lullaby!

I tried to learn from other youtube videos but its very difficult to see the keys and they go fast so yeah.

[stevenlopes]

you do just fine keep going

[rainboow567]

Your tutorial is great. very organized and very clear. THANK YOU :)

[lilmisswhimsical]

Hey in my sheet music the notes I have seem to be different from yours. Right hand: At 2:08, my music says there should be a G# C# and a lower G# chord followed by G# to the lower G# then a chord with G# B# and G#. Then following that where are all the lower G# notes?!? Left Hand: I have the notes (the ones you left out) are B F# D#... not A. Then the following 10 seconds are completely different. What sheet music do you have? Anyway GREAT tutorial! You are so patient it's incredible.

[thomandy]

Hi :) Im to unfamiliar with the piece atm since I haven't played it in a looong time, so I just added the sheets in the description box! :)

[lilmisswhimsical]

No biggy. The sheet music I have is the one that was from the movie exactly, even the messed up ending (where Victor gets scared). Thanks for responding so fast! And thanks for the sheet music too!

[thomandy]

Yeah, might be that its just different Keysignatures?:)

[starpeltsky]

Awesome job, I've seen a lot of tutorials and nobody has taken the time to put all those annotations in. I love the animation and ending to your video playing this piece. I do have a suggestion though: Play s...l...o...w...l...y, you play so quickly that all i learned is that playing hands separately first is much easier than both together. I probably would have done the same though, haha... In the end, five stars!

[thomandy]

Hi:) Thanks:)

Yeah, It was my first TutorialSet so hopefully Ill get better for every Tutorial I make :)

[evelo9]

Hi thomandy ! I do my best because I speak French ;)

I just wanted to say to you a big THANKS because I very love this song and I always wanted to learn it. Now It's summertime, I can put all my energy to learn the piece. Usually, I pieces parts by ear but I found it a bit complex ! ;)

So a big Thank you and you are a very good piano teacher !

Evelaurie xx

[thomandy]

Tnx, gl on the piece :))

[daniel0827lcs]

Thank a lot!!! ^^

[tecladita]

thanks you so much!

[thomandy]

Glad its helpful:)

[bluejoshdale]

You are soooo cool! thomandy owns!!

[thomandy]

No probl. Its hard to get the lightning right on my room, so that the keys are even more viable :P

Good luck on the piece :)

[thomandy]

First a little tap on the G# then, the same G# and the C below it! :)

[yoshibuddha]

Thank you for this! I just started piano 1 month ago (with a strong music background in classic instruments other than piano) and your tutorial really set me off running!!!

[thomandy]

Great to hear :) Good luck on it :)

[DjNightsendt]

Are you norwegan? ;P Sounds like hehe

[thomandy]

Yeah, I am norwegan =)

[DjNightsendt]

Det hørtes slik ut ja ;)

Dritbra tutorial ihvertfall :) Lært meg del 1 og halve del to på under 10 min ;P

Spilt piano lenge eller?

[thomandy]

Så bra:)) Da går det fort unna!! :)

Jeg begynte å spille for 1år siden:) Starta såvidt på keyboard i Jan i fjor, men fikk pianoet mitt i April for et år siden :) Først da jeg merka utvikling i grunn :P Har en sånn "Mitt første år på piano-video" i profilen :)

[DjNightsendt]

Da har du kommet veldig langt da ;P 1 år og kan såpass mye ;) Jeg prøver helst å lage litt selv jeg, men har ikke så veldig mye fritid at det blir så lett, men jeg begynner smått og håper på noe bedre senere :)

[thomandy]

Ja, har komposert en del jeg også :) Er gøy :) En Rag som faktisk ble beskrevet av en Arct-Lærer fra Canada som "i samme klasse" som Scott Joplin komposerte :) Også har jeg laget en Nocturne som blir sammenlignet med Chopins verker, så jeg kommer til å prøve meg på å bli komponist :) Må begynne smått :) Har vel 10-15komps, og er egentlig bare fornøyd med 5-6stk :P hehe Har all på channalen min! :) Du får si fra om du laster opp noe!!!! ;) Hører gjerne på:)

[DjNightsendt]

Du må gjøre det samme da ;)

Veldig imponerende :)

[thomandy]

What do you mean?? :)

[7ArtangeL]

T.T... i need more octaves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[linke219]

Thank you for your video. You have explained it very well～ I feel this music has become easier~

I studied part 1， and before 1:40 in part 2 yesterday. I'm quite happy.

Then go on studying the rest. ^-^~~

[Eborius]

hi :) I learn in the moment the Song from you and its verry good what you doing. But on the Time 3:34 i have see you forget the A F# D# !! On 1:14 you play it.

i hope it comes many more from you.

Thx my Friend

[thomandy]

Oh... Damn.. I have added annotations to clear it up :) Thanks for letting me know! :)

[babarua89]

thank you, i've just found the original one, which is very different from the one i was playing.

I've been trying to play it for days, and i've just come to realize that it wasn't the right one, that why it just didn't sound well to me. :D

thank you very much

[babarua89]

that was beatiful!

i have a question, which partiture did you use, because im trying to play this piece and im using a partiture transcribed by duncan Bohannon, and i cant help to notice that you play it differently from this one.

[thomandy]

Hm. Not sure. On my sheets, it only say: Danny Elfman. So I would believe its and original arrangement :) Link for that score is in the description box of my performance of this solo :)

[chaarlietheunicorn]

Mr. Elfman wrote the song.

Or are you referring to the Bohannon as the original?

[eirinbe]

This is awesome mate :D

From norway too?

[natlkarom]

hey, thank you so much, i learned this section through this tutorial and i figured it out today. I think i'm somewhat talented when it comes to listening to music cause i can easily get the rhythm of it. well i'm gonna continue to number 3 thank you :)

[jeejeejeejeejeee]

i have a very old keyboard only 50 keys in it but am i still able to play this? Sorry if my english is bad...i'm from Finland..:)

[thomandy]

Hi. Well, not in its original form. I had a 64key when I started it and I could not play the Lefthand correct. You can try to move it up one octave and see if that works, then you can at least learn it in the right way, and just play one octave lower if you ever play on a real piano somewhere. Try it, It might work :)

[plok259]

This is great! It was a little difficult when i started this part but now im catching on!

by the way, i LOVE your accent!! :D

[f0xtwo]

that was awesome, you should do the legend of zelda theme

[thomandy]

Tnx =) But I dont know how to play The Zelda Theme =) Im learning it someday though :)

[Angelsoos]

i barely got through the first part i'll never get the second

but thnx for uploading this video

[mortenkul]

Du e Trønder!!! =D Nice vid! ;)

[thomandy]

Nope, 7mil nord for Oslo :)

[mortenkul]

Okay! =D ;S

[pheonixressurection]

Thanx man,looking forward to part 3 =).

[thomandy]

Its up now :))

[pheonixressurection]

Great tutorial.I can almost play the whole song but i still can't do measure 4 right.Any tips?

[thomandy]

Tnx =) Well, Im not sure where you mean. The only tip I got is to practice so slow that you are able to do it perfect every single time, the speed will come on its own. Every time you mess up you have to do it 13 times perfect to forget the messup, so its important to make it as many times as possible, and with to high speed in the beginning, the chance for messups are pretty big! =)

[ljanvenl]

hi bro, your tutorals are very useful, iwould like to watch the 3rd part please.

Thank you bro.

[thomandy]

Hi =) The 3rd part will come within a week =)

[ljanvenl]

All right, thanks a lot man i´ll be waiting for it.

[rockLms]

hi, realy cool video, i already learn it just by watching the first video you make about the song, but this is very helpful.

[thomandy]

Hi =) Thank you :)

Later**

[RebeccaRhoads1993]

I like watching these videos. It's funny how we just see you're hands moving around so fast! LOL great tutorial! :)

[thomandy]

Hehe =) Thanks! Hopefully not to fast when I show the keys?! :)

[Lypur]

hahah! I love how you got slightly silly there at the end ^_^ that was funny

[thomandy]

Hehe ;) Ill do part 3 in Scottish ;)

That would be something! :)) hehe

[DariaVelZiutka]

This is a good one too. :) I like the way you show how to play this piece - slowly, step by step. =) I can't wait to see the last, most difficult part! I can't play it yet. Only two staves, lol. :P

And, btw, I wish I could speak English as fluently as you can. =) I'm still getting stuck a bit when I have to say something. :P

Well, thank you for the vids mate! =)

[lizakk7]

Awesome :) So easy to follow ;) 5*
