How To Play Star Trek Theme on piano/keyboard

[Livepure2]

why did i have to go and break my hand before finding this :/

[vasili1097]

19 people were assimilated by the Borg.

[Malygozs]

Better playing on theramin.

Q.E.D.

[secretsith28]

Sounds like a mix between the TNG theme and The Final Frontier opening.

[suzienicholsspence]

@secretsith28 you mean star trek

[thecomputerschool1]

im glad i remembered my other hand to play this song

[WingmanTISwin]

19 people dint get beamed up by Scotteh

[kingrockjometrick]

Dam nerds -__-

[MrFungames1]

peace of cake played it 1st time!

[EpicPhalure]

hey! it's a good thing i *AM* an octopus!

[allukenas]

I GOTTA GET 5 MORE ARMS!

[HydroGlobus]

Poor 417... He was upvoted to top and still gets (pretty much the same) spam about this every freaking day.

PLEASE do not upvote!

[telapoopy]

hearing the beginning of this song, I am suspicious if this program was used for Mardek

[XxAnaCamposxX]

I'll be sure to try this after i grow an extra 3 arms. . .

[JheakrynaKyAlur]

that's why it's done by orchestras *g*

[zeph0shade]

I bet Davy Jones could play this. In fact, now that I think of it... Davy Jones from PotC playing Star Trek TNG on his huge organ. That would define the word epic.

[glitchman161]

From the thumbnail, I could immediately tell this was impossible.

[shoufalcon]

no mear human can play it on keyboard!

you have to be from outer space, fool!

[TehSalomon]

You gotta be shittin' me... x_X

[tacoman673]

intro reminds me of the hyrule fields theme from OOT for some reason :o

[mrgeetah]

You wouldn't need eight hands to play this. You could easily do it with four. Two is absolutely impossible, though.

[TOMISLAVSIMONIS]

it would be possible if i was an octopus with fingers on top ^^ xD hehe that would be like 8*5= dunno math -.-'

[MrOmhnomrawr]

guys it should not be that difficult you say you not octopi but um you have 10 fingers they have 8 also this is more of a duet

[itsblank112233]

i told you hiring three chuck norrises would be a good idea

[MofomayhemAllmighty]

I played this.

with help of 30 other fingers

[countroo1]

We don't have to be an octopus to play this.. But it'll help;)

[nicakina]

In the 23rd century Humans would have evovled with eight arms to play this piece or maybe we would have contact with aliens who have eight arms and can play this piece.

[Londonlondon1233]

Chuck Norris can play this... with his penis....

[Peskdale61]

It is illogical to think that a single person could play all of those notes.

[LUMPYSKULL]

resistance is futile, your fingers will be assimilated.

[djmaster888]

yeah yeah... :D

[Rudunnx]

Hmm, stargasmus........

[Peskdale61]

Data could play it. His hands are fast enough to cover all of the notes.

You should add a warp noice at the end for effect.

[cathavenfostermom1]

sorry, only two hands

[Mollischolli]

0:34 looks like the ship

woooja

[kutkuknight]

Iam NOT A DOCTOR AND NOT AN OCTOPUS but i can stil play it ^^

[829101A]

This is highly illogical...

[lovethatturtle]

@829101A true that

[Cyberinitiator]

Only Data could play this.

[minicasillias]

where is chuck norris when you need him most...

[PippinRally]

I'm guessing this is for VERY accomplished pianists then...

[417Guardian]

WHY DO YOU PEOPLE SAY, "IM NOT AN OCTOPUS." PEOPLE THINK, AN OCTOPUS HAS 8 TENTICLES, WE HAVE 10 FINGERS, ITS MUCH EASIER TO PA WITH 10 THAN 8!!!!!!

[7ferret7]

@417Guardian Can you spread all your fingers out across the piano?

[417Guardian]

@7ferret7 no, but if you were an octopus, you deffinetly wont have enough finger to play the song

[kutkuknight]

@417Guardian Ingenous ^^ True words 

[Ints12345]

@417Guardian Our fingers have only so much room to move (octave), but an octopus can move its 8 testicles independently with enough room.

[marnix96]

@Ints12345 it's tentacles, not testicles

[dylanendemidrijver]

@marnix96 xD ¨ppl who say testicle fail xD

[2134hi]

@417Guardian Exceeuse me! Couldn't an octopus stretch their 8 arms further than our fingers can? Just saying that our fingers couldn't extend.:) Buh bye!

[2134hi]

@417Guardian I have to leave.

[Subflario]

@417Guardian good point

[niels332]

@417Guardian they say that because an octopus can move their tentacles and we can barely move our fingers =P

[DarthRaukrist]

@417Guardian but an octopus has 8 arms, we have 2. ten fingers only have so much reach. and an octopus could maybe arc its tentacles to hit more than one note but not the notes in between. octopuses can in fact play better than we can.

[schorchguy]

@DarthRaukrist If they had a brain, yes, they could

[COMANDERHALL]

@417Guardian because tentacles can reach far apart?

[TheManWithNoShadow]

@417Guardian hahah good one :D

[assassinXX00]

@417Guardian

Yes you are right. But octopus' 8 tentacles stretch more than fingers. Our fingers can stretch about 1-2 cm, and octopus' tentacles can about... 1 meter or maybe more (1,5 m maybe.) Get it now?

[Eiziish]

@417Guardian but of our 10 fingers there are 5 and 5 connected together, while an octopus has 8 totally free-movable "arms"...

[italianchriswilko100]

@417Guardian  a logical point :)

[DuffmanOhBaby]

@417Guardian But an octopus's tenticle can reach further than our fingers. :P

[Maximinators]

@417Guardian Yea but can you put your thumb 20 keys away from your little finger ?

[TheSAsylum]

@417Guardian The distance between our fingers are limited. When the keys are far apart, it would be easier to be an octopus since it would be no restriction in that case.

It saves you the effort of stretching you tendons. That's the only reson I can think of.

[marklenthecool]

the title should be "StarTrek the next generation, theme on synthesia"

[SD170147]

We can ask Q to play it ;-)

[maxxyboy1000]

What program are you using to show this?

[matane993]

this intro whud macke mee sleep befor i ewen seen the movie( and i hawe seen some epesodes) but the intro is extremly lame. the movie was not sp good ether. sg1 Atlantis is better. i hope it will come a long movie whit them.

[enemytaco]

parden my laguage but HOLY SHIT how in the world is this possible to play???

[kentrel2]

Dude, are you just stealing people's midi files from online and passing them off as your piano tutorials? This is a midi version of an orchestral arrangment. This piece is IMPOSSIBLE to play as is on piano

[Maximinators]

I found a site Where you can buy fake fingers!!!!!! I will be the first human Octopus to play this!

[sjsharp2007]

very clever

[HannahTheBat]

How many fingers do you have? Just in case I'm missing a couple of hundred. lol

[yeiro3]

chuck norris can play it! eyes closed

[QuoPacto]

Lol, I doubt that a mutant octopus could play this, even if it had 12 "arms"

XD

[EmmettRocks1999]

Lord God save us all...

[SirDinamit]

Only Chuck Norris could play that=))) With one hand xD

[DvnWood]

@SirDinamit

Fry: Evel Knievel could...

Robot Santa: Nyuh UHH!

[warick70]

once again all this guy has done is record the computer(bot) showing how it goes its called teh audioplay hes not actualy playing it duh!

[GenOrder7]

To be percise, this is the theme from Star Trek the Motion Picture. Very nice tune to it!

[Logixmaster]

WTF @ 1:00. CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A HUMAN WITH REAL FINGERS PLAY THIS ON A REAL PIANO? KTHX.

[ogameinterceptor]

Davy Jones could play this without any problems xDDDDDDDDD

[CryoStatus]

HOLY COW!! NICE SIMULATION.. shame its not you really

[spanorky]

he obviously extracted a midi orchestra version not piano

[gschjetne]

This isn't a piano arrangement. Please stop posting this useless crap.

[AstrayQQ]

This is the whole orchestra. No way that one person could ever play this.

[ahtartersauce101]

Scottie: Oy, Yeah.

Jim: OK, Zulu!

Yes sir.

Get us into warp speed. Khan could be on us as we speak.

Yes, Sir

*Warp Speed END* Ah, comedy.

[ahtartersauce101]

Checkov: Eh, If I may sir...

All: NO

Scottie: HEY can somebody help me out here?!

Jim: Sorry Scottie but we can't go down there. Remember what happen last time.

*Spock goes into the radiation room and dies*

[ahtartersauce101]

And I would say FUCK YOU!!!

That's quite illogical.  I would take offensive action.

Really, are you out of your Vulcan mind!!??

Jim: Yeah, and I thought you had nothing to say on the matter.

[ahtartersauce101]

Oh Fuck! Spock any advice?

... I have nothing to say on the matter *We're FUCKED!!!!* lol

Bones- That's great Jim! While we've been playing around with a keyboard, Khan has manage to infiltrate us.

Spock- Infiltrate? I would say discovered.

[ahtartersauce101]

Play this song RIGHT, Scottie!!!

I'M GIVIN HER ALL SHE'S GOT, CAPTAIN! We got no power crystals, and all the keys in the fourth section are fried and we have a dead man on top of it from being poisoned by truth worms and he told Khan everything so...!

[theshoggoth113]

it's called a duet people!

[0mglolz]

O.o Good heavens! The notes! So many!

[Maximinators]

Does anybody knows a website where i can buy fake fingers????

Oh yeah and also where i can buy glue.... You never know...

?? Is that Synthesia ??

[shockme91]

play the new theme

[TheLordstrider]

looking at this i wish i had 4 hands to play like that Damn 2 hands :s

:)

[MegaWeezyFBaby]

squidward can play this :D

[aninweton]

@MegaWeezyFBaby he doesn't have fingers so he can only press down like four keys at once cuz he has to use the other four for standing

[Thepoliticman]

@MegaWeezyFBaby Uhhhhh Squidward has 8 tenticals... We have 10 FINGERS! How is it easier?!

[NeosAvias]

Sure, it's not very useful for pianists since it's impossible to play for one person. BUT, if you were arranging it for a larger group - band, for example - now you don't have to listen to it over and over to know what the notes are. :D

[robinsonjay]

look at 0:43... 9 simultaneous keys spread out over 5 octaves...... yeah, i'll have it memorized by tomorrow... lol

[jerryseinfeldisfunny]

that is the theme for The next generation

how about the original sieres?

[simon1234simon]

awsome but too fast. could you play this at lets say at quarter speed cuz it's hard to keep up with this

[36sweetooth]

Thank God I'm an octopus -.-

[875109725710]

i know right! if i wasnt i could never EVER play this song! ;)

thank you, god thank you!

[lovethatturtle]

@36sweetooth it's octopi.

[36sweetooth]

@lovethatturtle No... It's Octopus (singular) i am not many octopi. Octopi would be plural... i am a single octopus.

[lovethatturtle]

@36sweetooth well you should be. secret society of the octopi rocks.

[Thepoliticman]

@36sweetooth Why thank god your an octopus? Humans have 10 fingers! now YOU TELL ME why thats easier to be an octopus?!

[jcline87]

oh well that looks easy enough...NOT

[crayonsaregreat]

Because I have 20 hands. -__-

[keeperoftwilight]

i never really liked the theme song for TNG, Enterprise and Voyager were better.

[MrZelda4476]

the end is not very sectecular

[joanegel]

Can anyone learn me how to play this song?

[disturbedyoungone]

are you people stupid?? this is played by more than one instrument or can you not tell a synth string from a piano?? this is also played by more than one person you can learn off this program if you actually bothered to find it and try to use it.... btw caseymonkey583 this program is called synthesia and you have to buy the add ons if you want songs like this the basic download dosen't have them :)

[guytheking9137]

do they expect that this this can teach ANYTHING?!

[explorer47422]

0:32 how 3 of your fingers are supposed to detach from your hand and play at one end of the keyboard while 7 play at the other, i dont know lol

[36sweetooth]

@explorer47422 LMAO hahahaha

[caseymonky583]

what program is this

[littlemisslost23]

It's worst than that, my hands are dead, Jim, dead Jim, dead Jim, dead.

[mccabber24]

Damn It Jim! I'm a Doctor not an Octopus! I can't play this

[cumesoftware]

LOL

[SoliceProductions]

@mccabber24 are you THE DOCTOR?

[Mirinovic]

@SoliceProductions iT IS STAR TREK PHRASE WHICH DR MCCOY

[Mirinovic]

@mccabber24 i CANT CHANGE LAW OF PIANO CAPTAIN:-D

[ZellDenver]

@mccabber24 Yup, @jordus used the Orchestral MIDI, rather than the melodic MIDI...

[ZellDenver]

@mccabber24 Data could. But you're right, this is a MIDI import (orchestra version). 

[brothlick]

@mccabber24 omfg best thing i have ever read on youtube lmao

[Bones666SimonPegg]

@mccabber24 lol Bones is my fav character! I can't play this either!

[MrSuperHardrock]

@mccabber24 No, you aren't an Octopus, but you can watch the video, stop it after a few seconds, remember the notes, and put them in MuseScore (You can google it, if's a free notation programm), print and then you have the notes in a sheet of paper.

I think, it's easyer to read the notes from a sheet of paper.

[Daizzey85]

@MrSuperHardrock holy crap! is that website full of devils magic? 

[ichbinzizich]

no one except dr octopus could play this on his own xD

[crappyvideosareme]

of course Data could do it. Data kicks ass

[Skillzofalot]

I love you.

[Saltgranat]

Agreed

[TyMan210]

You mean kicked. ;(

[FoxStrider7]

Finaly a peice the whole family can enjoy...while they're all playing it

[ptfp111]

Well if you have 5 hands you should be able to do it quite easily...

[NosirrahKaraneeum]

Piano/Keyboard Hero!

[tjf4375]

Trying to play this theme on a piano or keyboard is ridiculous - it was written for, and performed by an orchestra.

[atominator99]

not impossible, improbable!!!

[xPaulienxx]

Very nice, but inpossible

[philliesphanatic09]

its computer program. no hands, and you pick the part you wanna play. really cool btw

[Flozzx]

how many hands does this person have?

[menOFechoes]

put it in half speed or something!!!

[penguinperson064]

uhhh no its NEXT GENERATION with capt Picard...

[3LiterProductions]

I agree, ther is a difference, the old one goes like

oooh WEEEEEEEE oh oh oh oooooh

[Shintsu2]

Just get one of those automated pianos to play this. Would impress the hell out of people lol.

[Mhansen321]

If anyone as ever actually learned a song from any of these videos I would be impressed. this guy put like over 9000 notes in all of his synthesia things. completely impossible.

[Shintsu2]

lol, indeed. It's like playing the entire orchestra with 88 keys...down to ever last little note. It would look and sound so amazing to have an automated keyboard playing this song since only an automated one could hit all those notes (Or someone able to play with their hands AND feet).

[churchmousie]

Data could do it.

[indigo12ash]

Of course Data could do it! Spock is also a canadiate for playing this but Data would be better.

[Saltgranat]

Spock is not playing the piano

[franksaninocencio]

Beat that Guitar Hero!

[woodpod]

Where the hell do you get enough fingers to play this??!?!?!?1

[IzyTheNinjaJedi]

lol you're right!

[Dalek1230]

duet...

[woodpod]

i dnot think so

[jasonlo5]

Remember how many fingers do you have?

[baassie123]

@woodpod

You have to search on your body

( or under your clothes if you'r a boy ¬¬ )

[stefanvpoppel]

@woodpod ebay  :)

[kutkuknight]

@woodpod A tipp play only what is important for the melody.^^

[UncleChuckTH]

Alright, I only need to watch this at maybe .05 speed and then I'll get it.

[RacerFishy]

Which Star Trek series/movie is this from?

[AennaGirl]

The Next Generation.

[regretfulflyerxxx]

Deep space 9. witch CPT pecard. I remeber this from childhood.

[LoganOds]

harder than guitar hero ^^

nice vid.

[hotty198]

duets could play it

[llabesab276]

you would have to be an alien from star trek to play this

[RacerFishy]

Which one?

[MollieRose126]

lol, I really wanted to play this. If only I had a zillion more fingers.

I (L) star treck

[amumblingmouse]

i dont think that this is even possible to play on the piano... humans dont have enough fingers!!! lol cool vid

[Nanosauromo]

...Piano Hero?

[Jonja1226]

this is really good, but its way too confusing to learn from it. Great job with the theme, though. it's really accurate.

[PinkFloydveno139]

Cool
