  • skeleton hands ! no offense, and thanks i learn the song because of you ! IDOL!

  • This piece of music is just beautiful! I wish i could play it myself but i am just starting out! (i've only just movedon to two handed playing ;O) But after seeing this video its my goal to play like before i leave school... Your amaazing btw :)

  • Muy bueno el video!

    Toca piano muy bien! :)

  • Beautiful

  • I WISH I COULD PLAY LIKE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Calvin8076 The fingering of sheet music is just an outline, the true hand position comes from the personality of the player.

  • why you play the first 4 sheets with your right middle and ringfinger? Isnt it with the tiny and ring?

  • your so good! im so glad i followed your tutorial :DD but im still working on my speed though.. and the chorus. hehe

  • Beautiful<3

  • THANK YOU for the tutorials!!!!!! They helped me (almost) master this song in about four days. I'm still practicing X-]

  • Wow I'm speechless !!!!!! God I wish I could play as well as you.....I too play by ear because I haven't learned to read music.....your an inspiration !!!!! :) -3

  • ♥ it!

  • Hi, I bought a keyboard and I learnt to play river flows in you with your tutorials. It´s amazing. But there is a part which I don´t know how to play... They are the both bass parts, they are at the end of the song, in which you play the bass chords at the same time! Can you uploaded a movie in which you explain how to play that very slowly? Thanks. I would like to learn some Mika´s song. Sorry, but I´m 16 years old and I´m spanish so my english is not very good! :)

  • You should start classical and play Rachmaninoff... You almost have the same fingers like him!

  • You're awesome.

  • this rlly helped me C: do you teach it yourself? imeen play by ear? or do you have notes? good job :)

  • @MadMarcii1: Glad it did! :). Yeah, I have taught myself from the beginning. I play pretty much everything by ear; it's very rare that I will use sheet music.

  • Hello, well played!

    Not to point fingers at you or anything. But the 3rd D you are hitting with your right hand should be an E, and it's and E everytime you play that piece.

    Just so, now you can play it correctly :)

    With your talent, you should get a real piano! :)

  • @FingerSk8er1996: Thanks :). To be honest, I am a person who doesn't see there to be a right way and wrong way of playing a song, because music is about interpretation, not copying. True, the note which you highlighted was not purposely changed - but it's one note; if it was on a CD, you wouldn't have noticed.

    Haha! I'd love a Grand, and have my eye on one if I get the opportunity to get it. Have to say though, in the home environment, my Yamaha Electric will upstage many Uprights.

  • @pianodrew Exactly! :D

    It's how you wanna tell the story from the song, you dont have to tell it like everybody else.

    Just keep your excellent work!

    And about the notice of the note. I didn't look at the video when i noticed ;)

  • @FingerSk8er1996: You have a good understanding of music, and a good ear. I will say however that many of the covers of this song I have looked at on YouTube are played with a D instead of an E. It's just one of those songs where there is no right or wrong way of playing it, because so many have tried it, and so many have scored it, somewhere down the road of such a popular song some notes will probably change accidentally.

  • @pianodrew Yearh i guess you're right.

  • loved the expression you put into it... im a piano player, been playing since i was 5 and im 14 now and i love playing this song... :)

  • Yipee! Thank you so much~!!!!!

    haha, Your way of teaching is superb! :D

  • this is reeli gurd x cant wait til i can play like this x

  • fantastic!

  • i just wanted to let you know that you are and amazing musician, and i have been working on this song for a week or so and i hope to be as good as you, so thank you for being and inpiration to me and many more people im sure :D

  • Such a beautiful song! you played it soooo well... love it! :)

  • u are the best piano teacher . thanks a lot)

  • Superb!!!

  • Pianodrew - I love the way you play this song, it's absolutely beautiful, I've been watching it constantly after the tutorial, to play it like you, and I've got the hang of it for the most part, but I wouldn't have been able to do it without you, so I thank you personally and hope for you the best - Angelica ^_^

  • when my piano teacher comes to my house i do sort of like i fluttery thing with my hands when i play piano and my sis is like wat up with da harry potter hand wave

  • Hey man I used your tutorials for this song and covered it on my channel :)

  • Hey, I'm looking to buy a new digital piano.. what kind of piano do you have? It sounds so nice! I would like to look into buying one that sounds as nice as yours.. THanks!

  • Would you like send me the link of the sheet, i have entered myspace but I dont knwo where is the sheet, please!! my sheet has not got the final part, when ends with the high keys!

  • @493323260: Sorry, don't have the sheets.

  • @pianodrew so what is that paper there?

  • @TheExternalInternal: Just because there are sheet's on the music stand doesn't mean it has to be for the song I'm playing in a video. They're the sheet music to something else which is not on YouTube.

  • @pianodrew okay, i thought it was..sorry my bad..btw nice playing!

  • Ok You did it in this video, and you did it great !!!

  • hey im 13 and im tryin 2 learn this piano song...do u know where i could mayb get da sheets from for da fool version???

  • ohh my gosh!!! ur soo amzinggg! btw r u russian?:D

  • god bless your hands you got the don you got the key for make it feel congratulations Gerardo Sanchez "El Pianista" =)

  • Nice dude. but i dont get it, is it a piano or a keyboard? i have a keyboard but it doesn't have foliage like yours. when you hit a note hard it comes louder, mine doesn't, any tips on how to make that work or is it just like that? thanks

  • @habboteacher: Thanks mate :). I have an Electric Piano. Only Piano's and Keyboard's with Touch Response do that. Look up whether your Keyboard has Touch Response :)

  • @habboteacher lol im late

  • This is incredible and I've been learning how to play it by watching your videos, I wanted to make a quick request. It'd be amazing if u could have a tutorial on Ludovico Einaudi's I Giorni......I really love that piece and I've searched the tube and no one seems to have it tutored the right way. Please, it'd be great if you did =]]]

  • Great, I've been following your tutorial how to play this song and hopefully I will play it just like you... Keep up the work :)

  • Very nice one of my Favorite pieces by Yiruma very pretty and you play it very nicely better than some videos i have seen.

    I know you probably don't do request but im hoping you please can make an acception to this i have been wanting to learn the song " i Can go the distance" but there seems to be no one out there on you tube that can play it and i really hope you can make a tutorial on how to play it that would really help and be very nice thanks a lot defiantly 5*

  • Omg that was outstanding im pretty good at piano but that was epic

  • how long did it take you to learn this song?

  • Your fingers runs through the piano so smoothly. Very nice (:

  • Thank you SO much for your tutorial! You are the best teacher ever! It was really helpful how you took it little by little......I have a suggestion and a favor to ask of you....I don't know if you are familiar with the song "Song of Simplicity" ~ by Elijah Bossenbroek.....but if you could, and have the time.....would be be interested in making a tutorial for that song....just like you did for "River Flows In You?" I would greatly appreciate it.

  • I love this song. Your lessons are very good. I can play this song vvery good thank you.

  • this is pure great!!! i learned to play this from your lessons. thanks ! i noticed your version of 'river flows in you' is slightly different, am i right?? Please keep making videos like this, you're so good at it =))

  • Excellent. Phantastic piano player and teacher too. You are great! One of the best cover on Youtube.

  • You are so talented. I've been playing piano (without lessons) for about 5 years now and I love how easy your videos are to follow. You're quite good at tutorials. Keep up the amazing work. I wish I was as talented as you are. <3<3<3

  • Very good, but I think that this song is pretty easy, a friend of mine can play it and she's only 13...

    the one you plated cant be find on the net.

    good job bro. :)

  • where did you get the music foe this song????

  • @Toxicdoll695: Hi.

    I don't use sheet music; I learn everything by ear - but if you look 'round on the internet, it's out there.

  • it looks so damn easy, but it isnt );

    nice keyboard by the way

  • @SSCSVideo believe it or not, in the grand scheme of things, this is a relatively simple song to learn.

  • Hey what keyboard/piano/synthesizer u using?

  • @bezemhoerenhaterz: Yamaha DGX-620.

  • I don't really play piano but wanted to learn one song.

    Btw your step by step learning method are amazing as well as your playing!!! Thanks to you I've just learned how to play river flows in you. =DD Best teacher EVER!!!!

  • It makes me smile when I listen to you play this song. You play so beautifully.

  • Wow, you are so good!!!

    I'm learning it now!

    And its so cool! I really love it!

    Thank you, Thank you,Thank you!!!

  • Amazing skills you got there! But one suggestion, the little tingly thing you do there @ 1:15, maybe you can do it more naturally. To me, it sounds a bit stiff. Still beautiful, but at your level, it bothers me a bit. No negative comment, nothing but positively!

  • @D0ct0rAwesome: Thanks for the compliment. I have to say though that, as much as everyone says that long fingers' are great for Piano Playing - which they are for stretching - for scales and quick finger movements like that, they're are a real hindrance. Also, thanks for quoting that I am a high level Player - but in truth I'm just a beginner; I had been playing for around a year when this was uploaded.

  • I subscribed you. thank you so much for the tutorial for this song!!! i am a beginner and i now know how to play this song!

    Can you make a tutorial for "when i look at you," by miley cyrus? thnx!

  • this is the most beautiful version i've heard. you sound so amazing! have you taken piano classes? and if so, for how long?

  • Wow! Really amazing! You are so young and so talented. Wonderful.

  • holy...your 15!? i thought you were 18 or something...you have an amazing talent there.

  • DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!u r the best piano teacher ever man.girls r gonna love u...keep up the good work

  • your hands are so beautiful........u inspire me to play piano..this is the first song i played on my keyboard....and i haven't done any formal piano lessons...bcuz my parents can't afford...but thanks to you...i can play the song...thanks!!!!

  • Amazing!

  • Mennn... thats amazing !

    Do you think a beginenr could play that? I can play Unfaithfull by Rihanna now ( learned by your tutorial :D )

    Your really the best teacher in youtube... and outside i think xD

  • Is this a song for ppl who are beginners? I love that song on piano... and do you think that a beginner could learn this song? I think i could rase my skills with this enourmous...

    By the way... i started to play piano with YOUR tutorials !! U made ppl to play Piano !

    Best teacher... not only in youtube i think

  • This is amazing! I've learned up to part 4, and am now working on playing the right and left hand chorus together. You are amazingly skilled at teaching. You're by far the best one out there. Thanks a lot! :D

  • All the people on youtube are right. This should be Bell's Lullaby. It's much more like a lullaby compared to Carter Burwell. You're an amazing piano player by the way. I wish I could play like that. You should think of becoming a composer.

  • hi pianodrew my name is jessica i come from Germany and you are the geatest teacher here i learn it fast and i have never play piano bevore thank you so much

  • so, have you changed the normal version a bit? Cause I'm using music I downloaded and your tutorials (which are absolutely brilliant by the way) but I'm starting to come across a few differences which is confusing me a little, so if you could please tell me what you've changed if you have? It would be amazingly useful

  • You're by far the best teacher I've had on piano, awesome.. amazing skills you've got there. How old are you "pianodrew"?

  • @MakinUBleed: Hi. Thank you very much for the compliments; it really means a lot. I'm 15 years old.
