Where I Stood Tutorial Part 1

[IamGunsMcGee]

You are moving too fast... You are naming the chords but not what you are doing with the left hand, or the few keys in between the chords....

[myfacevids]

Hey its good, but I think there is a differnet chord in there after the F#minor Im not sure that it goes to bminor as before, it sounds like a differnet chord i will have to listen to the track again but the rest is great, thanks for showing. I figured out your finger parts quite easy

[BubzyAlana]

thanks for this, it's a little bit confusing at first but makes sense. hoping I will get it soon so I can play it and sing along. great song :)

[Niicoolinee]

I dont understand this tutorial. :(.. You dont explain how to play the chords.. Like when you say "You know me" there comes something where you say f# and C# and then some on the right hand.. Problem is you don explain how to play them .. You dont say "Then you play F#, C# " and so on.. So i can get past the start.. It kinda sucks when its your favorite song...

[AndreaFF1]

thanks you very much! i really wanted to learn it!

[melanieippen]

you do a great job with this but you go to fast and you dont explain all of the parts.

[ApexLynne]

On the contrary, I found this very helpful.

Being able to see your fingers is key. All you must do from there is pause and write down the keys in order. Not difficult. Especially since reading notes aren't everyone's specialty. ;)

Thank you, you brightened my night in presenting me with a stronger possibility to comprehend what I am to do to perform such a lovely song. =)

I wholeheartedly appreciate your time put into this.

PLEASE POST MORE SONGS SIMILAR TO THIS. =D

[Joosii09]

i am freaking out !! you are too fast !!!!!!

[herestoirony27]

hey, thanks for doing this, trying to learn this song for a talent show, but I'm not very good at reading sheet music :)

i have a question though; I'm extremely confused about the leadup to the chorus with all the inverted D's... could you please explain? and don't leave out any notes! haha

[taw5yc]

A little confusing and difficult to follow....but pretty basic song. Once you get a bit down, you can just play mostly by ear. nice job over all. (peeps should just watch a couple times)

[iLOVEmissyhiggins]

Thanks for the video! I really appreciate it :)

[cheddermist]

this is way to hard to follow tutorials are suppose to be slow not fast :( i really need to learn how to play this songg :(

[xoLindsayMaddixo]

i understand chords and it was helpful for you to say them but i don't understand how to play the part where missy sings "you know me" in the first verse. it sounds like there is more to it then just chords. like a note after each chord? i am not sure lol. but thank you for making this tutorial! i absolutely love this song and i like playing and singing :)

[JahjaMan]

@xoLindsayMaddixo

The notes that i play are literally the 1st and 5th note of the chords.

So it's like F#, C# and then E, B

Does that make sense?

I'm just repeating the notes in the F# chord, and then notes from the E major chords.

[MrBoBubs]

I thought it was helpful :) thank you!

[LibbyHeartts]

well, i found it really helpful! thankyou so much, this is a great tutorial, i needed to learn this!

[bree007]

mate this is way to confusing! not all of us know all the majors and minors! maybe try and connect with viewers instead of showing how much you know!

[JahjaMan]

@bree007

it's quite difficult already to try and show via video how to play a song.

It would be too difficult to point out the hundreds of notes that would be playing.

It took a long to make this song.

The least anyone could do would be to look up the chords before hand as a reference or a guide.

Don't always expect things on a silver platter.

Thanks for your input though.

[PearlsofMermaid]

if anyone wants sheets, just youtube message me! :D

[randyt60]

Yeah really well done, but you need to have another listen - the 3rd line of the verse goes Bm A E F#m E D A E - that's a D, not another Bm.

[anech14]

do you have te piano cheats?

[stillglowx]

hey, i wouldn't worry about it being confusing.

i got a keyboard for christmas, only picked it up today to look at it, i haven't got a manual, i don't know any chord names of key names or whatever, and i could follow this perfectly, as long as i looked close enough and kind of... religiously practised. i hope you finish off the Where I stood tutorial, its so good :D i love this song, thank youuu. xx

[mrburns12384]

Great job JM! I love all your videos. Great teaching style. You're a star!

I wish you lived in Melbourne. I would have asked about lessons if possible (paid of course).

Anyway, keep up the great work and have a safe New Year!

[LesleaWalter]

This really helped me. The tutorial was great and I really enjoyed it when you would sing. Thanks so much!! :D

[sam12342563512]

that was a bit confusing,

the first two lines were fine but

after that i just stopped.

[HawaiisCW93]

Same here... after the first two lines I ended up learning the rest on my own by ear

[ittybittyblanka]

thank you thank you so much!

[believeinspirit]

THANK YOU!!!

[Genesis2091]

And you were really good at showing the keys. Fyi :)

[JahjaMan]

Awesome, glad it helped you out. Though a few other ppl have complained that it was difficult to follow.. =S

But glad you worked it out alright

[Genesis2091]

Oh! Thanks so much for doing this tutorial, I really wanted to cover this, and in piano, instead of guitar like everyone else. although I'm rusty with piano, This looks pretty simple :)

[Doddle92]

Can you please do a piano tutorial for Ashes and Wine from A Fine Frenzy, please? :)

[JahjaMan]

Hey bud, I won't be doing any tutorials for a while sorry.

Still at uni, and this year's been pretty hectic and busy for me, so the most I'll upload are any covers that take my fancy =S

Sorry..

[xRIOTT]

confusing much?

[aude0110]

I found this video really difficult to follow .. confusing! :S You should go slower and repeat the song from the beginning after each part .. it would probably be much easier for us. And the song doesn't seem to be exactly like the original one .. missing some notes. But well, if you hadn't done this tutorial i would never have learned it as well. Thx

[JahjaMan]

Hey mate, sorry if it wasn't so easy to follow. I tried! lol

But no, the tutorial is exactly the same, because I'm guessing a few notes here and there too. But that's the beauty of doing a cover, you get to put your own spin to any song!

[sugarpuffin112]

this is so incredibly confusing...and im usually good with this stuff.

[dearlullaby14]

wow, thanks,

but that was kind of confusing.

but again, thanks!

[jewdino]

this is really helpful,

but once you got to the chours i got sort of lost,

you should write out the chords?:)

[Victtoria92]

I got confused.

[missjupiter76]

My sheet music doesn't start off this way. Also I agree, Fminor is DF#A, yes? You're hitting F#AC#, which sounds fine but its hard to follow along on my own :p

Does anyone have sheet music to this song so I can compare mine against. Maybe mine is wrong but it doesn't look like this..

[JahjaMan]

Yep, I identified the chord wrong. It is indeed F# minor. So its still F# A C#

Sorry for confusion

[Rkiller22]

Hey man this vid was great except one thing I noticed. After the first 3 chords...you say that the next chord is F-minor...you're pushing F#-A-C#.

I don't recalling that F-minor.

I could be wrong, but i hope you see what I'm saying.

[JahjaMan]

Hey mate, sorry for the late reply.

Yes, it's actualy F# minor. I just said it wrong =P

[ArchieLover911]

thank u soooooo much!!!!!!!1

[fakeasfuk0]

you should sing more too:) i like your voice

[kel2218]

if you wanted to come to my house and teach me this i would be o.k. with that.

:D

[sarahfan1]

[lovetosingg]

[foxypunx]

Dude! I love you! I learn so much!!! ;D

[mybrokensacrifice]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I look forward to seeing it. Take your time too, I just appreciate whatever you can do. Thanks again.

[dwsnl888]

lol u cant sing

[JahjaMan]

Thank you, but you may want to note that this is not the key I sing this particular song in.

I only recorded in the original key because it's a tutorial, and most would want the tutorial in the original key, right?

[JenerallyxSpeaking]

yes, and you CAN sing.

[mybrokensacrifice]

Thank you! I really like this song. You wouldn't by any chance have a tutorial on Sugar Cane? That's my favorite Missy Higgins song. I am brand new to piano and use songs I really like for practice and your tutorials are nice and slow and easy to follow. Thanks =)

[JahjaMan]

I'll do one for u, but may be a while =P

uni's busy and i hardly have time even to reply to comments lol. subscribe and the next one should be sugar cane =)

[lynniemm]
