Firth Of Fifth (Genesis) - Piano

[stargirlsg11]

My brother made a bet with me.if I learned this song by next Christmas Eve, then he'd give me $200...can you make a tutorial on how to play this song? :D

[stargirlsg11]

I have the same piano! :O

[javierdeljeur]

God, I wish I had half your skill... thanks for sharing this.

[lumaga19]

Exelente

I loved your video, watched many times already. I do not like the part in Bb you accelerated too much .... in my opinion would be nicer if it was slower ...

I'm trying to learn this song, already posted a video with the introduction part in you tube, but is still not good. I`m training!

Sorry my English, I`m braziliam!

[MagnusBruce]

For those of you wondering why the end section is so fast, this is the reason:

His camera could only record videos up to a certain length and to fit what he wanted to play into one video he had to speed up. He's not trying to "show off".

That is why - I know him personally so I know this for a fact.

Hopefully that might put an end to the volume of "too fast" comments....

[555ontario]

Wholy... nice job, wow... Did classical training assist you in this presentation? This would take me a long time to figure out by ear but maybe that's just me...

[uptocom]

Well done, but the second part is too fast indeed. One or too chords are missing at the end. Perfect it ! thanx

[pato2909]

fantastic

[pato2909]

fantastic.

[Mikypilota]

Hi, I'm an Italian boy, i've 13 years old!

Hi love this song and you're very very very good to play it!

Compliments!

[FascioINgabbia]

Good, but you destroy everithing when you started to play the final (intro) part... TOO TOO TOOOOO FAST!

Why? Speed is not equal to talent.... you were going so good before!! Re do it!! :)

[dezsanderson]

great, thanks

[Treberos]

This is a beautiful job no doubt and substantially comprehensive because I can see your fingers until you go into hyper-mode. Would you consider a re-do so us old farts that teasingly play piano can follow along and learn the last part?

-Bob

[razi5]

that was pretty much good until you got to the hard part and you speeded it up too much! good job though..

[Ludwigooo]

Slow down 

[kh103]

FFS - SLOW DOWN, What's the rush?

[MsMymichael]

Very good performance. Really inpired.

[sarah11548]

well i think slow moderate or fast was good ! well done xxxx

[GhostOfGoodness1992]

Good job but too fast..

[scotsburd63]

Beautiful, haunting and quite tear jerking!! Thank you for posting!!! ....just wished you'd played halfway through a bit slower

[RoxeDesgagnes]

Hey I got the intro but now I'm looking for this part !! Is it possible for me to have it in my e0mail box please ???

[hogweed89]

Great job, but why did you play the famous "intro" section so fast?

[mukkohaha]

great job :) looks like' you played that many times :P

[cmtemoacirsilva]

Excelent !!!!!

[luvjammin04]

Beautiful job!! I'm in the process of learning that and you have definitely inspired me. That song separates those who can play piano and those who cannot.

[IpCrackle]

quite good.

[sheinmancm]

it's quite good and will get even better with some more practice...i d really like to know if you had to do any advertising to get nearly 50,000 views , if you could let me know that would be great...thanks

[tdouglaspainting]

Easy on the tempo in the middle,

there's plenty of notes, don't rush it.

Other than that, it was awesome!

[steken64]

Easy on the stress!!! Its genesis f g s.

[TheHunterRE]

El principio está genial, pero cuando llegas a la parte del principio de la canción, te aceleras, y queda fatal...

[amontepeluso]

I belive it is a GREAT performance. But it turns really fast when you get into the ``solo´´ part, thou... Anyway, i think you played it awsm. Besides, I have the same keyboard =D

[daruito]

perfect,my congratulations

[jgpanta]

good job....you have great chops...slow it down and it will be perfect !

[billyidolp]

e cmq acciuga lo pia ar culo mauauh

[acciuga1062]

Fuck billyidolp strunz, confusion en rome de merd.|

[billyidolp]

omg skusate lololololol errore mio

avevo confusa con cinema show lolz

[billyidolp]

ma non rompere le palle

[billyidolp]

ma dio cane sarai bravo a suonare ma sui titoli sei andicapace questa mica è Firth Of Fifth

[acciuga1062]

Ah si! Allora secondo te che cos'è? Sarai capace a bestemmiare e a dare di andi agli altri ma tu non capisci proprio un c...o di musica dei Genesis.....

[KhrizQFBRJ]

The first part was very good but the second one was way too fast! Try to correct that detail and you'll be better. Good attempt though ;)

[thekurzweil]

Nice the first part :)....but when you come into the Bb part...... what the are you doing????? it becomes TOOOOOOO fast!!! It's horrible!!!! Fast does't mean "bravo!!!", remember......

[MrGalileoFigaro]

Impresionante, tenés un talento increíble, felicitaciones.

[katosjoes]

Yeah, like many others say, you really play great, but just when you started back on the main theme part, you sped up way too much.

Other than that it was played greatly :) Keep it up!

[sidewalkpilot]

i like God, even though he raped Mary.

[katosjoes]

cool story bro

[culdolla]

Great , very good work, just sometimes a little fast.

[bestoval]

really great job . but a little fast....just little bit

[zeppy215]

WOW!

[Prigionierodellanott]

Great...Tony Banks

[hommescalp]

You are a great pianist. I would have like to take the time to taste it a little bit, but you're playing too fast at the end, The song is great and needs to be savoured.

[forbesb]

The sonfg is played at a high tempo , but too agree with you I beleive he plays it faster than the original

[PhilCollins93]

Too fast but good

[cmtemoacirsilva]

Molto bene!!! congrats from Brazil!!!

[jimbojasper]

Beautiful job of a beautiful song,,does that keyboard have weighted keys?

[jproscoe]

It does indeed, nice piano feel to it.

[untensil]

@jproscoe fyi Having weighted keys makes it a electric piano technically!

[pelle9114]

@jimbojasper

Great job! You can`t it play better with one lonely instrument:-)

[andre12362]

Great video.

It would be really nice if you could share the score, first part seems to be especially hard to find

[MyFabFour]

Where did you learn to play the part before the flute solo?

[jproscoe]

Same method as the rest - opening the notation of the midi file.

[yowaza119]

I have been trying to find a tutorial for this song and i havent found it yet so i was wondering if you could do it because you play very well.

[PeDwa]

IMO too fast... but good playing.

[yngwiehendrix]

Bravo a differenza di ALTRI hai un buon tocco e una buona espressività!

[MrCalzedonna]

bravo finche salti la parte difficileeeeeeeeeeeeeeee va a vedere la mia e impara

[MrCalzedonna]

va a vedere la cover di mrcalzedonna

[69PlayTheSound69]

Great job man.

That was really good.

[olderendirt]

Like you said the end was a little too fast, but as a lover of this song for about 35 years you did a great job playing it. That's the first time I'd ever seen it played, too.

[rodoaloy92]

Awsome!, its realy good

I was wondering wether you have any tab of the song, y wanetd to play it at once =D

PS: You accelerate time at more or less minute 1.25, but that shows your skills to ;)

Good luck and i'll wait for your answer!

[jproscoe]

Thanks for your comment!

I learnt this mainly by using a Firth of Fifth midi file which I opened in Cubasis to read the notation - it's a great way of learning a lot of songs!

And you're right, it's too fast towards the end - I think I got a bit carried away!

[greatpcfan]

@jproscoe good work.can you please tell me how to open notations in cubasis?

[jamminjem714]

That's just showing off! :)

[TheAlexpiras]

great! I wish I could play it that way! is there a partition I can study it?

[budhistick]

bravo...two thumbs up !

[AMahlmann]

It was absolutely wonderful to watch that... if I remember, on the CD my mom has it does speed up a bit, my mind isn't the greatest but it sounded just fine to me :) great work! you get two gold stars!! XD

[crazyclarissa8D]

loved it but you were like on cocaine at the end :) doo doo head

[Susaluda]

Very good! I agree that the part after 1:28 should be slower, but it's still really good and impressive.

[tuscarett]

Comenzaste muy bien, pero parece que te pusiste nervioso.

[nutella61]

Good! But I don't know why you have accelerated in the middle of the song.

[monseigneur16]

I cannot understand the need to demonstrate how this piece should NOT be played ever.

[baechti007]

The first 1:28 are so nice! Compliments!

What a shame you fucked it up by losing all your delicate pace and rhythm!

[HyperbolicFlash]

wow baechti

who cares?

It's still amazing

[CommandoRecycler]

Woah.....too fast....but not bad.

[rrmd2007]

M8...please do the whole thing again..

on behalf of Tony Banks and et.all

[barbox41]

thank you...

[tlobs]

wow, so nice in the beginning, why did you run it over with a Mack truck in the end?

[fatcatslimcat]

I would love you to redo this with the middle section at the correct speed. You easily have the skills to perform this perfectly. Bravo!

[lletro]

wow

[catasabau]

can you help with the first part that you`re singing...the second part(the faster one), we have it. cheers

[bohica4you]

very good attempt, however slowing it down a bit would have made it better.

still you are a very talented player

[Ottocento80]

Too Fast.

Nice Work anyway.

[nickyabarth]

Too fast!!!

[zaretix]

Too fast on the "nice" part

[chorizoalegre]

well done my friend, just try to watch the right tempo, could you please get me the music sheet?

[badATchaos]

haha pretty fast, but good.

[68darkside68]

yes all we know it is too fast than the original, but i think you have performed it with your will, not mistake. your ability is great.

[MagnusBruce]

I think perhaps this was played too fast because the camera cuts out after a certain time, and maybe he wanted to include up to a certain point, rather than suddenly end it. Otherwise very well played.

[hazardboy69]

but still pretty good:)

[hazardboy69]

no, play solo!

[xarlione]

Nunca vi a nadie tocar con tanta rabia.

[rbeardell]

I've been playing pee anne ooh for a whole month now - you're a distant inspiration - charterhouse rocks - too fast my ass!!

[archi1110]

i love this song

[Bakuryu94]

puru jeu

[TamaaRrtjee]

that was amazing ! :D

[joacofr]

too fast, takes the beauty away. i bet if you slow it down to the real tempo it sounds much much better.

very good anyway if you can play it at this speeed, you can probably play it better at slower tempo

[anacarolinateixeira]

super fast!

but good

[NuttyHeadbanger]

could you please do a tutorial for this, that would be so awesome as there are no other tutorials on youtube

[randomguyh8y]

there is one

a guy called shawncheek or whtever gives a free lesson on how to play the intro of firth of fifth and he even gives a lesson on how to play fool's overture

[NuttyHeadbanger]

he does but he doesnt do the full intro

[LegendOfShinoku]

Amazing, I really wish I could play piano like you. Your playing is inspiring and heartfelt!

[MoonlitKnight91]

wooooooow

[checkcheck56]

0:55 super fast!!

[ersilia78]

chi è questo genio!!!!!

[mattthedream]

good job, but u rushed the main theme after the flute solo

[smokingbianco92]

the second part is too fast

[Horseshoebender]

Great Job!

[KalaKalina]

great video ... good job ! :)

[alej1958]

Excellent video. I listen this music from my eighteen years. Now I am 50 and it brings me some tears..

I'd like to play it at my piano. How can I find the sheet music?

Regards

alej1958

[petergabrael]

Wow nice playing!

I'm jealous

By the way, both the Musical Box and Tony Banks himself has tempo changes in parts like this. I've seen Musical Box and Genesis live more than a dozen times do this to a degree.

Be proud you have mad skills son!

[ValentinoMitico96]

awsome 5/5

[taynuilt1]

Nice work, and good to hear a different passage from the usual intro! I'm no pianist, but I'm a BIG Genesis fan - that strikes me as great redindition of a difficult piece. Why do so many of these dickheads below have to pick holes in other peolpes efforts? I say well done

[murphitz]

I agree, it is indeed nice work, probably the best example of Firth of Fifth I have seen on youtube, and I am glad to see / hear it played from what was the "flute solo" on the album. I simply felt that the intro part to the song was played way too quick, he even makes a couple of slight errors that probably would not have happened if he had played it more calmly. No doubting the guys skill whatsoever, he is doing something that I cant

[randomgarage]

Do all of you clowns really think the tempo was accidentally faster than the original? jproscoe did a very nice job with HIS interpretation of a great song. If you want to hear Tony Banks interpretation, listen to the original. Or. better yet, post your own version.

[encabulator]

as many have said, it's a bit fast in the "overdrive" section but I was blown away having learned the piece (only in part) by ear as a teenager years ago; fantastic!

[arleco12]

Why the hurry? Calm down, dude!!

[Albimar17]

Well done, it was fantastic!

Like others said, overdrive was too fast, but you probably wanted to show off didn't you?

[murphitz]

I was really enjoying that up until the bit where you went into overdrive! why so fast ? this could have been awesome

[marthiss]

you are playing it soo fast!!

[someonelikethemoon]

You're good man, but it's not a race! Slow it down and it'd be awesome.

[00AmalteA00]

mmm... you know how to play it =) but this song is not that fast! work on the timing! however great performance!

[diehardvideos]

You really need to slow down on the main solo. I mean, you can barely hear what you are playing.

[faxtes]

...very fast, it's like a ragtime. No good execution with some wrong note and without expression, very bad....

[belchthefit]

nice accomplishment, altho many are right - Firth of Fifth on methamphetamines

[lextalker]

just perfect !

[volendos2]

why so fast you idiot

[thelizardking1943]

you don't have sense of the time

[alfalfa1214]

Show us something better, lizardking...

[thelizardking1943]

It's orrible in this way

[beyond7]

Good job man!

[homestar3]

This is a beautiful song. I'm sitting here in amazement! I would love to learn this on piano. Please, keep up the great work.

[CuppaTeable]

Fantabbywabbydaddydoodah. I guess you were so excited at playing the stuff you forgot to count time!! The arpegiator bit is too fast cf the earlier solo stuff.. Shame cos its note perfect.. !!

[agusagaz]

Quite good!! What happened in second half? Forgot something in the oven? lol. 5 stars!!!

[Ottocento80]

Excellent the First Part, but...Sorry, more quiet in the second Part. Anyway, Good Job. Compliments from ITALY and Me.

[giggi7]

nooooooooooo

[ajittffcure]

Good work!

[mafkees071]

nice piece of playing the piano. well done:)

just a little bit to fast

[marwich]

Too fast..it seems a circus theme timeline..

[hvssar]

wow

nice

dude

[gattotommasino]

very good but also very fast!

[joselicoo]

great!

[CuppaTeable]

Fantastic atmo... then when main bit returned tempo too fast? Otherwise faultless!!

[chimborazo]

Thanks!

[rodolfostanic]

It was absolutely great until the classic piano solo came out...hehehe

Too fast! =/

[ukii77]

Good! But a little bit fast!

[TheTayMan]

nicely done!

[peterfile343]

Fantastic!
