Está tocado na perfeição. Perfeitamente o original do Selling England!. Estou a tocar também esta peça (só o consegui através de pauta) mas ainda não faço os trilhos do fim.... Bravo!!!!!
Simplemente maravilloso.mi hijo que tiene 5 años y lo unico que quiere es tocar como stokkernk.el problema es que no tiene piano y se encarga de decirmelo todos los dias.solo se que cuando pueda pagarle algun teclado el primer tema que intentara tocar sera firth of fifth.grande stokkernk y grande Genesis
@davimundo Me siento honrado por lo que dices, yo te agradezco de todo corazón. Espero que tu hijo aprenda a tocar el piano como Tony Banks! Un abrazo desde Roma, Italia. ¡Gracias!

@AdmiralQuality Thank you very much!! But I know that is not yet perfect... Someone wrote this comment, and he is right: "Really very good....but not perfect. There´s a mistake in the melody every time you are in the C chord. You should play the notes E-C-G-E, instead of E-C-G-C.....
And some segments are too forte. I guess all the intro is more relaxed.
Anyway, great!! and thank you very much for sharing."
This is a great version. So many people lose control when playing Genesis/Banks pieces but you maintain the feel which is so important. I believe Tony himself didn't risk playing this intro live again after one disastrous occasion. Also your description of learning the piece bit by bit slowly is spot on and invaluable. All good stuff. Thanks.
@kyokushinfighter78 I have never seen the footage, but the story goes that when touring, Tony would play the intro to the song on a CP-70 or RMI I think, with less of a range than a grand piano. At one point he was supposed to jump down an octave but at one show he just kept going up and up, off of the end of the board. In other shows the intro was apparently less than stellar, so they just decided not to do it live anymore.
@Olav321 Cut in in little pieces, very little, for each hand. Than repeat, many many times. Then put the pieces togheter, play slow at the beginning, then little faster, little faster... And repeat... A lot of patience, of course, but this music is not impossible. Thank you for your comment! And let me know!
@cbar0x Grazie! Confesso che se sei un bravo pianista (e non mi ritengo tale), magari professionista, questo pezzo non è affatto difficile. Presenta solo alcuni passaggi che possono impensierire, ma nulla di più. Per uno come me, invece, non è stata una passeggiata, e dopo aver passato una buona settimana o due (non ricordo più) a imparare le parti per le due mani separatamente, con tutte le note giuste, ci sono volute altre due settimane di ripetizioni per renderla fluida al punto giusto...
@stokkernk aaah, capisco. Io sono un chitarrista a dire il vero e suono il pianoforte per passatempo e ad orecchio, avevo iniziato a tirare fuori questo pezzo senza fare gli accordi dietro e non era molto difficile. Ma devo dire che con due mani separate non è per niente uno scherzo! complimenti comunque :)
You have something I will never have..... the ability to even come close to what Tony does on the keyboards. It's just my opinion, but you lack a little bit of the 'feel' of what Tony can do. But if I could do anything close to what you do? Happy camper. You aren't Tony but you are damned good. I wish I could feel what you must feel. You be Irie, mon. Cool runnings.
You studied it for 2 weeks and played it for a month. But how long have you been playing the keyboards. Never heard about Tony making mistakes, but the piano thing makes some sense. I can't really say that the first time I saw them in about '77 that they played The Firth. I do know he had keyboards all wrapped around him. Once again, how long have you been playing. A friend of mine works at Carnegie Hall in New York.
@3daypriest I play piano since I was three:) But for many years I played one day in a month! I begun to play keyboards in 1985, when I entered the band Mad Crayon (you can see on my channel). Only in 2009 I bought a keyboard for my home, and I started to play piano seriously, every day. So I learned some Genesis tunes I put on YT.
@3daypriest I found this in an article on wikipedia:
"Banks' piano introduction has not been included in a performance since 1974, in a Drury Lane Theatre concert, when Banks misplayed and Phil Collins covered by starting the song from after the intro."
Yep, I live in Japan. Flew from Japan to Detroit to see Genesis on their last tour. Like I said, you are scary good. I put this on my favorites. I have no idea how you and Tony can do such a thing. How long have you been playing?
@3daypriest The "Turn it on again" tour? I've seen them live in my city, Rome, in 2007: they ended here their reunion tour, and it was fantastic! I know that Tony didn't play all firth intro live in the past: maybe because in those years they hadn't a real piano on the stage. But someone says that was because the part was too difficoult to play on stage, and Tony always made mistakes. I don't read the music, I play what I ear. I've studied firth for 2 weeks and played it for a month. Thank you!!
You are scary good. I think that Tony is able to put a little more emotion, for lack of a better word, into the score but I would give almost anything to be able to do what you just did. You made my day. Thanks.
Really very good....but not perfect. There´s a mistake in the melody every time you are in the C chord. You should play the notes E-C-G-E, instead of E-C-G-C.....
And some segments are too forte. I guess all the intro is more relaxed.
Anyway, great!! and thank you very much for sharing.
@11tube11 Oh, you're right!! I've always mistake that passage!! Great, thank you! PS. I put "perfect" only to catch the attention, but I perfectly know that this execution is far away from perfection:)
@ptassotti Grazie Paolo, molto gentile nonché attento ascoltatore! PS: il tuo commento era stato rimosso perché "segnalato come spam". Per rispondere ho dovuto premere il pulsante "non è spam". Te lo dico perché magari ti è utile. Grazie ancora!
My dad used to play this every time he happened upon a keyboard or piano - almost as if to test that particular instrument's ability to handle the song. He has now passed away, but watching you play this brought these memories rushing back, and I thank you for that. Also, he was a big computer/gaming nerd, so it almost seems like this video is a tribute to him. Thank you for sharing your talent.
@iamaglassoftea Thank YOU for these beautiful words. I'm glad the video has made you remember your father. If he played and loved this music, then the video is also dedicated to him. Thanks again from the heart. Best wishes,
@NicleT Thank you so much!! Not yet ready for the video with a real piano... but I have a new take with a much better keyboard and a really better sound. Visit my channel if you want and let me know!
Hey dude. Don't listen to this "flauwegetit" or whatever is his nick. Who cares about that stuff he is talking about. You did a goodjob and after I watch the video I came to realize that the video title doesn't sound pretentious at all
@valterjardineiro Thank you! Oh anyway, I think anyone can say all he wants. Any comment is wellcome. About the title, I choose that "perfect execution" only to try to catch attention, because there are so many firth players in youtube! And many of them really don't know how to play this piece well...:)
* If you use the time links inside the video youtube gives, you are 1 second off, missing the actuall detail I was talking about, because it apparently takes youtube 1 second to produce the sound of the clip, so by the time you hear anything it reads: 0:56 allready. Maybe youtube should considder that
You are welcome. I think in my second hearing I may have found a flaw ! in 0:37 something seems a bit off somehow, as if a fraction is being skipped. Also in 0:54 I believe the original has an added note, making it sound like it's 'tumbling' down, so to speak, collapsing on itself, but perhaps that note is an improvisation of the original artist? Still the best job of all the covers tho !!!
@flauwegeit Wow, you are an excellent listener! I'm not sure I've understood what you mean, but if you want you can listen and watch a second video of Firth that I've made one year after the first, that has a better audio. Thanks again for writing!!! (I wanted to put the link but maybe is impossible... Then, just go on my channel and search the video called "Firth of Fifth Piano Extracts")
@Evelyn0003 Oh, well... I've to admit that I worked a lot to change scale, because I played this piece, very approximatly, in C major. I've played for years in a wrong way, so I have to rebuild from scratch and then learn the right arrangement in the right scale. It took almost a month. And I have to play at least once a day, to continue to play it well:)
@stokkernk Oh yes, I know that, it did happen to me when learning one song. The band was playing it live in B but the record was in C major, I had to change it. But you know, for that kind of result, one month is not a lot!!! I'm planning on learning it.
@uptocom Thank you!! It' would be great to play The Lamb! But I think i need a lot of time to understand how to play the keyboard parts... I don't read music... You play piano too?
@stokkernk hi - I try to understand playing genesis many songs from "The Knife" to "The Lamb" since many years... It's ok now for me to play genesis songs because it's a very well structured music conception and so beautiful melodies. The Lamb piano intro is amazing. I don't read music also, the only way to find how to play it is watching again and again tony bank's live film on youtube ! Once you have understand the cross-hand technic you can find all the chords and that's it !
@uptocom Oh, I'll try soon to do it, for sure. I love The Lamb too, all the song, not only the intro part. I think Banks's parts are really outstanding!
Thank you Jenny!! I agree with your dad, this is one of my favourite songs too! You play piano? post some vids!! And let me know if you need some help, when you decide to learn Firth:) Bye
Amazing! I've been trying to play this for ages, and, remembering that I'm not that good a piano-player, failing totally. Hats off to you Sir, sadly the sound isn't the best.
@TheMaxprs Hai ragione! E infatti mi sono molto forzato, ma l'ho messo soprattutto perché all'inizio non lo vedeva nessuno. Per quanti sforzi facessi non riuscivo ad essere visibile, e intanto vedevo che alcune esecuzioni di Firth avevano decine di migliaia di visite. Quindi mi sono detto "vabbè proviamo col titolo sborone e vediamo che succede". A risentirla ora mi sembra tecnicamente buona ma molto meccanica, forse sarebbe il caso di postarne un'altra un po' più sentita. Grazie tante!!!
@stokkernk scusa se ti rispondo tardi, ma non mi si è uppato il commento :S grande! ne conosco solo 1 che l'ha fatta a orecchio O.O ora sono due ù.ù intendo i secondi dal 1.08 al 1.11... io metto un do# sol# e poi un fa# per entrare... dimmi tu...
@leads4agents Thank you very much leads4agents!! The keyboard in the video is the very affordable Yamaha NP30 grand. The sound it's pretty good, I think:)
@centralscrutinizer9 The interesting thing about Firth of Fifth is that I always thought exactly what you have said: "respect for those who can play that intro! I'll never do!" But with patience and exercise anyone that play some piano can do. Really. It needs time and time, but if you know the notes that Tony used for that, it's only a time-exercise question.
And how much of a genius must Tony Banks be to have come up with all that in the first place! Talking of which, I could be wrong but I think at some time or other I heard him say that the hardest part he ever had to play was Lamb Lies Down. Just be curious to know if you can play that.
Thank you!! Well, about The Lamb, I think one day I will try to play that beautiful piano creation but not now. I learn the music only by listening or seeing others play (on youtube for example) and I'll try with the Lamb only when I'll find out a good video to learn the correct way to put the hands on the keyboard:) Thank you again!
Thank you! Oh, well, actually I play the entire song, but the problem, when you have to take a video, is that you need a lot of time, because is impossible to have a perfect execution at the first shot:) When I'll have enought time I'll post Robbery, Assault and Battery, One for the Vine, and of course Firth. Thank you again!

I don't read music also, the only way to find how to play it is watching again and again tony bank's live film on youtube ! Once you have understand the cross-hand technic you can find all the chords and that's it !

@uptocom Oh, I'll try soon to do it, for sure. I love The Lamb too, all the song, not only the intro part. I think Banks's parts are really outstanding!

Amazing! I've been trying to play this for ages, and, remembering that I'm not that good a piano-player, failing totally. Hats off to you Sir, sadly the sound isn't the best.

Molto bravo... non mi piace il titolo: esecuzione perfetta sa di sbruffone, io lo lascerei dire a quelli che commentano...
TheMaxprs 1 year ago
@TheMaxprs Hai ragione! E infatti mi sono molto forzato, ma l'ho messo soprattutto perché all'inizio non lo vedeva nessuno. Per quanti sforzi facessi non riuscivo ad essere visibile, e intanto vedevo che alcune esecuzioni di Firth avevano decine di migliaia di visite. Quindi mi sono detto "vabbè proviamo col titolo sborone e vediamo che succede". A risentirla ora mi sembra tecnicamente buona ma molto meccanica, forse sarebbe il caso di postarne un'altra un po' più sentita. Grazie tante!!!

@leads4agents Thank you very much leads4agents!! The keyboard in the video is the very affordable Yamaha NP30 grand. The sound it's pretty good, I think:)

looking forward to seeing more vids from you
centralscrutinizer9 2 years ago
@centralscrutinizer9 The interesting thing about Firth of Fifth is that I always thought exactly what you have said: "respect for those who can play that intro! I'll never do!" But with patience and exercise anyone that play some piano can do. Really. It needs time and time, but if you know the notes that Tony used for that, it's only a time-exercise question.

Absolutely brilliant job - well done!!
And how much of a genius must Tony Banks be to have come up with all that in the first place! Talking of which, I could be wrong but I think at some time or other I heard him say that the hardest part he ever had to play was Lamb Lies Down. Just be curious to know if you can play that.
anyway, well done again - outstanding.
panicatac 2 years ago
@panicatac
Thank you!! Well, about The Lamb, I think one day I will try to play that beautiful piano creation but not now. I learn the music only by listening or seeing others play (on youtube for example) and I'll try with the Lamb only when I'll find out a good video to learn the correct way to put the hands on the keyboard:) Thank you again!

You're welcome. And hope to see your Lamb Lies Down some time in the future.

pianohan59 2 years ago
Thank you! Oh, well, actually I play the entire song, but the problem, when you have to take a video, is that you need a lot of time, because is impossible to have a perfect execution at the first shot:) When I'll have enought time I'll post Robbery, Assault and Battery, One for the Vine, and of course Firth. Thank you again!
