[Emogal1991]

[910babysnakes]

Why do I get a feeling that you're Filipino? :)

[ElenaDujardi]

I really like how you play this song and I don't know how to read the sheet music,please upload a video and play the whole song.I will be extreemly thankful :D

[jeaniquek]

Thank you soooo much! I just bought my first piano a few days ago, never played and don't have the time/money for lessons right now, so this video is so cool to start with! Thank you!

[Audrey7599]

i wanna learn this

[WorldxWidexSuicide]

This is a wonderful tutorial! I have the sheet music but I'm terrible at reading piano music... this is pretty much the first time I've picked up my keyboard and learned a song. I'm having trouble with it, but I'm learning slowly from watching others and also attempting to decode the bass clef part of the sheet music ^_^ This was a great start though, thank you (:

[Dana21895]

do I use these chords in the chorus too?

[mariocast]

@Dana21895 The bass notes are the same in chorus, but the accompaniment is varied in the right hand during the chorus. You can purchase the sheet music to see how that right hand goes during the chorus.

[chaostears]

wow this is in the wrong key.

[mapwall]

Thanks!

[tyoung829]

I just recently bought the sheet music, and I can't find anyone else playing it this specific way, if you could please send me a video of the full song so that I know I'm playing correctly, I would greatly appreciate it!

[Gayle82896]

i need the next part the most

[TheGrilNextStreet]

Awsome way of teaching us! To bad this is the beginning only :(

[kRnTeDii]

this helps soooo much!!! thank youuuu

but do you think you could do a tutorial of just the chorus though? D: i loveee that part TT-TT

[societyangel]

are you filipino? :D if so, kumasta na, titoooo? :D

[cameronmehl]

Are you sure? I've seen a number of different versions. Also when you get past 8 or 10 or so measures you can't use this repetition as taught as the words don't sound correct with it... Maybe show the rest? Even if it's just you playing and singing...

[hellopossie]

please show us the chorus!

[Skaluga]

Thank you!!

[Karrisa]

Ah, I learned this. You should post the rest! I'm curious how to play the chorus.

[NuclearSharkhead]

Thanks for the piece of sheet music, I just had a ball with it. :)

[kiwilovr]

can you please teach the rest. its easy to follow you when you teach and i dont know how to read sheet music. i really love thissong

[dawbxyooj]

Thank You! You do such a good job at teaching! Thank You Thank You! :)

[rachwort4321]

Please teach the rest!!

[MatildaFusion]

[OnlyNuocMam]

Could you please teach the whole song?

[chocojanna]

[pinkfrogsoup]

can you do a tutorial for the song boston by augustana? I really would enjoy learning it and you are great at teaching a beginner pianist.

[timnick79]

[imonsterxxx]

thank you so much !! it's the best teaching video for this song !

[yn0t93]

missing things

[tazobactam]

thanks!

[Yukimaru369]

I'm pretty sure the intros not exactly accurate; at the 2nd and 4th bars (starting at 0:05 and and ending at 0:08, starting at 0:12 and ending at 0:15), you don't play G's, u play A's... It sounds a lot better.

[brightmeadow1375]

Yeah you're right. I play A too not G.

[josephbland]

G is in tune with the real song. a sounds more full.

[christicretzu]

hey mario ty a lot now i can play my favorite song on the piano because of u mayby il upload a video with me playing it ^^ ty a lot

[fritz16]

[32ukbball]

[AmazingNadia]

[andrewandkerry]

Hi...I did end up buying the music...but the part you showed us was the easy part and I can't get the rest, please record the rest, you're the best teacher!!

[bobtotherock]

The best tutorial delivery i have seen on Youtube. simple.

[andrewandkerry]

This is BY FAR the best piano tutorial I've seen on youtube, so clear and so easy to follow. I'm a total beginner and I could get it! Please post the rest of the song :) please please please

[fkknaurea]

ahhhhh!!!i learned that so quickly.

but come on!!!!! pleasseeeee.....finish the tutorial!!!

we all beg of you!

[witboek]

What kind of software is that?

[mariocast]

@witboek: Two software programs used for the virtual keyboard and notation were called "Internet MIDI" and "Home Concert Xtreme". These are from Timewarp Technologies. The screen capturing software used was ScreenFlow from Telestream.

[MsPianoPlayer23]

Can you please make the rest of the video for all of us. This song is amazing and you taught the first part extremly well. Make the rest to satisfy us all!!!!

[kRnTeDii]

@mariocast this helps soooo much!!! thank youuuu

[rainman8367]

[soccerstar0088]

[asiaczekglabu]

That`s good! Very good! ^^

[shinriinoue654]

[ekeane209]

[BeatlesLoverrr94]

Thank you so much for the tutorial man!!! I love this song :] i just wish i could learn the rest of it.... but i understand why you can't, so whateverrr. Thanks!

[candace1194]

aww i want to know the rest...

next video please!!

[dreamsing25]

can someone do a tutorial on the rest of the song? cuz i can't read the sheet music

[Aeon135]

one of the best tutorials iv ever seen for any song, a great way to teach well done!

[iFilm7]

are you filipino?

[maisydaze]

Hi,

Thanks for this tutorial!

I purchased the sheet music too. I have never taken lessons, yet just learn to play songs I like by the sheet music and by watching someone else play & listening to the music.

I am having some trouble with the part in which the lyrics "Games that never amount..." begin. It just doesn't sound right and I can't seem to find anyone playing it on YouTube that is using the same sheet music.

Any chance you can do a tutorial of more of the song?

Thanks!

[mariocast]

@maisydaze: Thanks for purchasing the sheet music. If you send me a private video of you playing the part that you're having trouble with, I can send a private video back to you giving you feedback and tips on how to make it sound the way you want it to.

[animalxing284]

Why are you only nice to people who buy the sheet music D<

[mariocast]

@animalxing284: I try to be nice to everybody, but only spend the extra time to help people that show a strong commitment. If someone's not willing to pay $3.95 for sheet music (of which I only get 32 cents), why spend time making a video for them? Also do some research on "Fair Use" and "Copyright". Then you might understand why I only teach portions of musical works online.

[animalxing284]

Great job at explaining it ^.^

I wish I could buy the sheet music... *sigh*

[bloodyface17]

what about the rest of the song? the chorus ETC... i'd like to see them. please add it!!!please please. i rea;;y need it.... PLEASE 1000x

[n3v3rFoRg3tThaT]

you did an amazing job at teaching this :D Thank you so much!

[xFloath]

thank you man, i needed it!

[aholliday3]

!!Thankyou soo much!

[danarra]

wow you're a great teacher. keep it up.

[Bballchik234]

please play the rest of the song! it's beautiful

[candibobandi88]

thank you very much! this song is beautiful. thank you.

[Rabidraider]

I bought the music through your link, hope you get a well deserved kick back. Any chance you could do some more of this piece...

thanks Mark...

[mariocast]

@Rabidraider: Thanks for buying the sheet music, Mark. If you send me a YouTube message with a private video of the part of the song that you're having trouble with, I'll be delighted to send you back a private lesson video on that part.

[akinmine]

You are a very good teacher. I learned the song right away considering I don't even read NOTES!!! Please complete the song.

[grady1994]

thank you so much for such a clear and helpful tutorial :) i could follow yours so much easier than others who posted falling slowly too. you are a great teacher and keep up the good work! x)

[jikkaduz]

thank you so much for making this video very slow even i never had a paino lesson but i play this thank youuu for a thousand times!!

[titlewav]

yay u made a new vid :P

[disneyfan715]

this is so easy i almost fell asleep. gosh, it'd be more stimulating to just see the sheet music. maybe make some harder piano lessons.

[nickjonaslover1122]

502

[ronster117]

can you please make another video teaching the rest of this song?? cause i have the first part down now...please! haha

you taught it really well though, its the most well done piano tutorial i've found on youtube

[nickjonaslover1122]

yaa i no

[helenwazhere]

what program did u use?

[mariocast]

@helenwazhere: I used a Yamaha Disklavier Mark IV Grand Piano connected to a MacBook Pro computer. The software programs to display the keys/pedals and notation were Home Concert Xtreme and Internet MIDI by Timewarp Technologies. I used ScreenFlow to record the screen captures and did final edits in iMovie '09 for final edits.

[withu2inmind]

I love this song, and I LOVE the way you have taught it!!! Thanks so much

[livel0velaugh]
