Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls (piano cover)

[joyblueeyes118]

You learned this BY EAR? I wish I was half as talented....

[Daleparker2k8]

Flatten your fingers on the keys a bit more and work on dynamics but good overall!

[guywithawesomelife]

aah, good music is good... easy in the ears

[blakstarlavigne]

I learned alot from your tutorial video :3 I can't EXACTLY do what you did. I changed it a bit and made a weeeeeeeeettle more easier. And I couldn't learn the big instrumental part! But yeah, I can play it and you don't know how PROUD I feel :") iloveyou. Thankyou for the tutorial.

[Kellysmezzem]

amaziing!

[Swedenflyayaynr1]

pretty good, but very simple dude

[SuperIckis]

"You're the closer to heaven, that I'll never be" ? come on man you got some wrong notes there dude! I've listened to this song thousand times, and I know every details in the song

[peteyneags]

@SuperIckis its ironic that you say you know every detail to the song when you got the words wrong...its the closest to heaven that ill ever be

[violetgirl1996]

wow! u r so perfect at playing this~ lolol AWESOME!

[JohnTylerWilliams14]

this is a awsome song and the guy does it vary good

[Melopeed]

out of tune :s auch

[LaDyHaRaxD]

Please, tutorial :)

[ClumsyLilly]

Very beautiful!

[violetabe778]

the tempo's kinda wrong....

[mraddictor]

@violetabe778 no

[externa988]

And i wish that live would be easy like game The Sims. You can sit for a while with piano and in few hours you can play really nice xD

[externa988]

I woona play as good as you :D But i even haven't piano and i can't play on piano T_T

[fossilbean]

This is so amazing!!! I wish I could play as well as u!!! <3

[Aceros]

More experience will make you better. Learn the sheet version to compare where your mistakes are and improve. You do a lot of things beginners do but there is hope.

[WinterSong0216]

To be honest, I came upon this video by accident. LOL.

Mostly because I was trying to load something else, and I suppose I accidentally clicked it.

But I must say, this is probably the best version I've heard so far.

Props to my accidental clicking :)! :P

Keep it up though.

[LaLuLuPeKuda]

VEry freakin good !! i love it!!

[mihaiFR94]

dude, you're a GOD.

[Evanna11LilyLuna]

Love this song... & love how you covered it :).

<3 <3

[magentatoxhica]

Good!! i LiKee!!

[XX847]

when i want to hear this song i think i just click this vid under my favz then look up the actual song.

[leightviewer]

I learned from your tutorial, and I watched this vid over and over again, so I can follow how you play.. And I can play EXACTLY how you do! but I'm not happy with how I play, probably because my keyboard is crap, and doesn't have a sustain pedal.. I play EXACTLY like you do, but mine sounds so dirty and unorganized.. help?

[runningfanatic]

Try listening to the song itself a bunch of times and that will allow you to feel the beat and the melody better. Also just take your time and try to play as relaxed and as beautifully as you can!

[leightviewer]

@runningfanatic oh it's my fave song actually ; ) .. forgot to tell you that when i played on a piano, it sounded way better.. maybe its just my keyboard, or coz, nobody likes it as much as my other songs... thnx

[mario1giesty]

@leightviewer Some keyboards starts with a sound setting other than "Grand Piano", and that's what's making your song different. For best results, try switching to Grand Piano.

[TheKBat]

i luv this song and u do it perfectly. amazing!

[LianaLizard]

very nice! I got the sheet music for it, but I'm really slow at it D:

[xxxglamourbabexx]

hey! could you please please send me it?

thank you

Anna

[tobiosnmakky]

@LianaLizard maybe you could post it up

[LianaLizard]

@tobiosnmakky it's the first thing that pops up when you google "iris goo goo dolls sheet music"

[Georgelovesmusic1]

thers no H in music lol haha

[PrinzessinRapunzelle]

@Georgelovesmusic1

Actually in germany there is (i don't know about other countries though). Because of someone's untidy script the musical note known as b was written down as h - and no one ever bothered to correct that slight mistake.

[PunkerPinguin94]

@ Clueless721 the left hand plays only the bass tones. you can find them for example at pages like ultimate guitar. in this case they are D, E, G ,H ,A ,G . for a better sound you could play prime, quinte and octave.

I hope could help you ;)

[Clueless721]

could u tell me just the left hand?

[skyeee01]

your a gun.

[rebeccahanah]

its amazing but i find it a bit too fast

[anarchymess]

ta geul, je te enculee pute de mierd, la chainson c'est pas bien joue, tu devrais jouer plus libre, tu comprend, bonne, a toutsuite.

[shaun554]

[upindust]

[Chanbangxxxx]

is there sheet music for this ??

[Leiawww]

Ahhh, I wish I could play this -_-'

You play is so well ;D

[Swapp01]

I think this sounds more real then the sheet music :S

[crazynascarfan]

can you please send me the letter notes?

it would be very much apreciated!

please, and thank youuu.!:)

Your amazing!

[Pntbllrfrk13]

Oh and by the way, amazing cover

[NamiTakara]

This is absolutely amazing.

I can't stop listening...

[LadyHazey]

This is so beautiful!!

You should totally play Before Its Too Late by goo goo dolls!!

[TokioHotel33400]

O_O wow.. Just amazing !! Have you msn please ?

[DxTear]

T~T so beautiful..I love this song tis my fave song ever. Everytime i hear it it makes want to cry

[SpaderKrasse]

i jusst love it! :D <3

[DenizKaraman]

i can play the sheet music version to this but i think your one sounds better

:)

[Struffs]

doesnt iris kinda sound like piano man??

[Pntbllrfrk13]

Wow, thank god I'm not the only one who's noticed. I think they have a simliar chord progression which would account for it sounding a bit similar.

Both are fantastic songs though.

[mischuliatko13]

so nice :)

[wadeccockrill]

Really enjoyed it buddy. You did very well.

[Brittney543210]

How long did it take you to learn this? truley amazing! wowowowow

[Hypertorch]

use full minor chords on the left hand to make it sound more full, and like other covers for this song rhythm is a huge factor in if it sounds good. otherwise awesome melody work.

[Rocksolid88]

exactly.

though a good cover, nevertheless! keep playing this, and 6 months from now repost a 2nd version.

you'll see the rythm will be better!

cheers!

[shnobunnie]

Man, I can NEVER get enough of Goo Goo Dolls! Music i can listen to until i die! lol! Thanks for sharing the vid! If you have time check out another fav band of mine, they have a brand spankin new vid, just search for "Can't Hate You + Brandon Paris Band"

Thanks again!

<3 Rachel

[greendayforlifee]

[Ninaleinchen91]

[gryphen08]

[coffehockey]

[blueprincess824]

OMG..... its so nice!!! it melts my heart listening to it =] really... i was holding my breath while listening to it cause it was so beautiful =`)

[iAmMoNkEyBuTt]

whoa.......that is such a beautiful talent.

that takes a lot of time to figure everything every note and chrod out, and do it for a camera.

you are amazing!!!

[bboyrockemsockem]

wow, you are amazing. i love that song so much.

[michelleyyyx33]

amazing.

that's all i can say.

[o0FallingSnow0o]

how the hell do you play this by ear? without any sheet music? so jealous -.-

[mateeah]

chords

[ExTReMexTONiiC]

wow man amazin

[XxArtxXxEyesxX]

[Blackychan3]

Who is this guy??? HES REALLY GOOOD!!!!!

[Cl0za]

Really good. :o)

[kendrawhitneymerritt]

heyy you shudd makee a vid on how to playy thiss im dying to know

[runningfanatic]

I actually have 2 tutorial videos- the links are under the "more info" button at the top right corner there

[cron999ulla]

zing!

[ScooterBoyEX221]

: ) : ) : )

[kendrawhitneymerritt]

this is perfect its exactly how you play itt :)

[6U355WH094]

This is a well devised cover :]

However, perhaps you need to work on your dynamics.. you play it a little too harshly. There needs to be more softer playing to express more emotion and fit with the song better.

Good luck and keep it up.

[pho3nixr3born3]

thank you brother

[jsaucke]

pretty good....but check out the one by micronator

[jsaucke]

[zenonrules]

[BIriLLinaKaulitz]
