[eyork9]

[bibo478]

OMG, it's beautiful... you are GREAT!!!

I need a big favor, please: can you tell me please where i can find the sheet score??? I'd like so much to study it!!!

Thank you so much :-)!!

[richardandrewsjr]

@bibo478 Please let me know if you find it. I googled like crazy for hours, and it's just not available for some reason.

[X4pianoman]

Super! I like this piece very much and you've played it like in the film! Great job!

[joelpil]

I would love the sheet for this, btw you played it exellent, seen your other videos aswell and you are great. Does anyone know where you can get the sheet?

[kevindeisser]

Hi dude, wonderful solo !!! really nice played !!

i can't find the sheet, do you have it? :) :)

thanks !!

[petercameronharp]

incredible. you are seriously amazing. i am trying to learn this right now and it is really really really hard.

[llluneeklll]

Funny how so many people troll around on youtube and hate on videos. Good job man, im gonna use this song as my ringtone.

[musicforyourbody]

Just so you know, my more recent E.T. vids sound a lot better than this old one, and would probably make a better ringtone.

[jjdra]

I love this!! Great job!! I love this piece so much. You really bring the spirit of it to life!! Great job on playing all those arpeggios so cleanly, too!! ;)

[jsupianist]

Are you still email sheets?  I've been searching for the actual title. Great ear!

[chechemko]

@jsupianist you'll find it on partituras-gratis ;)

[licoricestic]

terrific playing, id appreciate the sheets if you're still offering, thanks!

[boricuangela]

Loved your transcription AND performance. Did you say your were sharing your sheet music transcription? If so how can I get it!!! Thanks for sharing your talent!

[chechemko]

@boricuangela look on partitura- gratis ;)

[mssbrown12]

I love it! ^^

[Jaou123]

I like you already, but I'd love you if you'd make a tutorial! You have amazing fingerskills, and by making one simple little tutorial, you could share that talent with de whole world!! 5/5

[chiefbeefofficer]

was this audio picked up by the cams microphone? If so, this is a fake. The external cam mc would pick up resonances from the room. Sounds like a recording with a stereo spread on the piano.

[musicforyourbody]

@chiefbeefofficer No. The audio was recorded directly through the keyboard audio output into the computer mic input using a stereo cable.

[chiefbeefofficer]

@musicforyourbody

I stand corrected. Incredible performance!! Would like to see another take with spotlight on keyboard though, to see fingering technique. Also would remove all doubt.

[GWStreicher]

Just beautiful. Well done, man!

[VictorianArts]

awesome! i tried learning this, but then my piano teacher told me that john williams probably just gave the part to two separate players (since they're not on camera any way), but now i'm re-inspired!!

[matt9741399]

Get another teacher. What an unbelievably defeatist thing to say to a pupil.

[VictorianArts]

seriously! thanks, man. and i did get a new teacher by the way.

[guthmannmarie]

remarquable !!!!!

[garrettmey]

Fucking awesome. Thank you

[noslightning]

Is that really U? What's up with the lights being off?

[musicforyourbody]

yes it's me... i didn't like the way the camera bleached out my face with the lights on, it's a really basic camera and i can't manually adjust lighting levels

[biker7389]

i don't think u playin that

[proteon]

Brilliant man - truly

[roedalacket]

Magic!

[androc75]

very well done! hope to see more. Thank you.

[KnotFrost25debbie]

niceee

[Jaou123]

you would be god if you did a tutorial... you seriously would(L)

[musicforyourbody]

Unfortunately at a certain level of difficulty it becomes impractical and the best thing to do (if you can't read sheet music) is to play a MIDI file on a virtual keyboard (if you have Cakewalk or Logic or something, or else on a light up keyboard) and slow it way down.

[Jaou123]

alright... well thanks anyway! you're really good:)

[symplemplam]

You need to keep the tempo better stablished.

[musicforyourbody]

yeah I know, I got excited and wanted to upload it as soon as I learned it, and before I got good at it.

[joparle]

Hi, can you send me the pdf as well???? Sounds great

[silvicar1]

wow that,s a electric piano???..if yes i would really apreciate if u'll tell me the brand btw very nice playing indeed:D

[musicforyourbody]

[apraj1992]

[TomCJG]

[freeforfreebogus]

Kind of neat that someone would think it's fake. Shows how well it is played.! Beautiful!

[Serg1974]

Beautiful! I've always loved this piece of work! Wonderful played!

[WHITEtotheHEAD]

FABULOUS. 5 stars. I would love the sheet music!!!

[JaheimFan]

[utenianissimo]

Hello, absolutly fantastic. Love the song, many thanks, could you please send me the sheet????

[nejihyuga665]

would you send me the sheet music

[lilbabi1004]

OMGOSH! I fell in love with this song when I first heard it at the rolling credits for E.T.

It sounds great!!! Good job.

I've been trying to find sheet music for this song, with no luck :)

[alexanderhartkopp]

hey that´s quite good, i watched the movie just a moment ago and decided to look for the piano variation... great!!!

[TheSecretWindowSpott]

awesome!!!!

[vincentdunet]

Hello ! Waouw ! great done !

I try to buy this sheet ...but no way ...

Have you got it? :-)

[musicforyourbody]

thanks, i can send you the music if you send me your e-mail address

[musicforyourbody]

who are you talking to? i haven't blocked any comments thus far

[frekijsimpson]

I'll believe he is playing this when the lights are on and the timing is in sync.

[101WTD]

I tried learning it from the E.T. piano score book as first published.. I found that some of the notes are mis-printed or incorrect after comparing it to the version as played in the end credits of the movie.. did you find that too?

Excellent performance by the way... this is by far one of the most difficult pieces I've ever seen on the printed page in my 25 years of playing piano..

[musicforyourbody]

I didn't know that this particular piece was ever published as a piano score. I do notice differences between the original soundtrack and the concert versions though... I don't like some of the changes in the piano arrangements and I like to put them back the way I heard them in the orchestral version

[jrmusaca]

dude!!! very good, I'm trying to learn that song, and its not easy at all!! I've got impress when I heard you playing this song.

Just one thing.... it was a little too fast, and in some parts sounded a little different than the original. but overall great!

[musicforyourbody]

yeah there are a few mistakes in the video that i later corrected in the notated version

[philipfairclough1]

please man do a tutorial, i got the music of u but it makes no sence to me, it sounds better the way u play it, just do a vid with an over head view so all us confused lot can stop/pause/play and learn

[modernolima]

its just feels sooooo good to hear you !! love it!

[Cacca13]

I could listen to this all day. Pure amazing!

[ElizabethxPete]

omg. so beauttiful. I WISH I could do that so bad!!

You are really amazing, dude

Thats beautiful music<3

where have you learned it??

[musicforyourbody]

thanks. yeah i had to learn it, E.T. is the best-scored film ever. EVER. you would think after a quarter of a century someone would have outdone it but no, John Williams is still the king and this piece still rules. i learned it from the soundtrack.

[kylec27chomp]

Hey Man! That was amazing! Did you transcribe that - if so - are you willing to share it? I've wanted to learn that song since I was 5 years old!

[astupiddvdcase]

wheres the part that goes ? Du duu du du du du du du . lol

[chatter47]

Is it weird that I understood exactly the part you meant? The part you're talking about is in a different section of the score. This is the part that goes "Du du du du du du du du du du du DU DU".

[gamerCTS]

well done, sir. I always wondered if there was any sheet music floating around for that piano solo in the ending credits...I'll be grateful leech #254, and please if you can, send me your sheets. Cheers!

[rawmanT]

sounds great man. i'll send you my email, and you can send me the sheet music for that part? thanks a lot!

[maxrome67]

Hey thanx for posting this, you're awesome, just wish you cud stretch this longer ;)

Can you play the Jacob's ladder piano theme from Maurice Jarre?

[musicforyourbody]

thank you -- I'll add it to the pieces I plan to transcribe, but I don't know when I'll have the time to do more pieces

[maxrome67]

Thanx I will look forward to it ;) Do you compose your own music then?

[musicforyourbody]

i've done some of that, nothing quite this good though. oh well. one day

[matstark]

Pls send to me also

[greghero]

cool

[arespinto]

wooooow, amaziiiiiin

I cry with this theme! I play piano too

do you can send me this music sheet plese!

Saludos desde Mexico, Felicidades

[Escape2noWhere]

I want to congratulate with you.

I'm a M° Williams (and J. Horner's too) fan and i simply adore his (their) music.

The piece "over the moon", and especially the piano solo part that you transcripted with rare precision is really something sublime.

Wonderful

[musicforyourbody]

yes, i will need your e-mail address

[musicalaccents]

I am a piano teacher & performer. After watching E.T. earlier today, I finally noticed the beautiful piano part played in the end credit, googled, and found your site. Awesome transcribing & beautiful playing. I spent a little time trying to reproduce the part myself...yet I would love to have the sheet music for me & my students. How do I send you an email to request this? Thanks.

[jannijhoff]

I've got the 'original' sheet music. If anyone is interested?!?!

[anthonysimeon]

i am!

[Cacca13]

Is that for real? Its brilliant!

[martycoca]

Absolutely beautiful!

[muhaha2015]

great work~may i have the sheet music too? i ll pm u my email ~:P

[BoazJordan]

"no official sheet music" who then got it out just from listening? did you rihgt it bro? brilliant work

[novata01]

Hmmm, I can play this but not that well, and I always get lost on the end of the second part. I thought the original had two pianos playing. I wish you could've brightened the room a bit because you do cast doubt in my mind. Nicely done though, if it is you playing the whole of it then congrats.

[musicforyourbody]

the piano music in ET can definitely be played on one instrument, i have heard (but not confirmed) that Williams played the piano part himself in the original recording

[musicforyourbody]

also there are subtle errors in this video, at least some of which i have corrected in my "unofficial score"

[augmentedheart]

Dude...where did you get the sheet music for this? I've been wanting to play this song since I saw the movie...when I was around three or four lol

[caruckiSISTUHS]

wow,

amazing.

[vinceray]

This is cool, but what's up with your tempo?

[Steinagel]

Dude this song rocks!

[californialinchen]

excuse me .. I just thought, its too brilliant, it cant be real. Do you know what people are able to do with a computer.. so I thought its kinda fake :)

Its amazing!!!! (a little too fast during the last 15 sec.-I think)

Anyway, its great. Love it love it love it

[californialinchen]

is that really you playin'????

[LeClochard2008]

Great job man, congratulations ! 5/5

Can I ask you to send me the sheet please ? I would like to get it to work on a big movies meldey.

LeClochard_2008 @ hotmail . com

[bambulita]

Great job

[musicforyourbody]

thx

[mitch88theb]

Hi,

Please help me, could you please tell me where i could get the sheet music; i would love to play this for my 1 year old niece. Thank you.

[bensonmum34]

would it be possible to get the sheet music? i am so loving your version and have always wanted to learn it.

[BenjyBlue]

Really awesome, i love it! Did you learn it from notes or by listening???

[galfredos]

nice playing ! good job !

[musicforyourbody]

thx

[burnemdawg]

how long did it take you to learn dis cuz i got da sheet music like 2 weeks ago and I can barely play 4 measures on da right hand it is such a challenging song

[musicforyourbody]

i can't remember, i think it took a few weeks... i don't know if this will help, but you can try practicing all the triplet groups as chords (slow of course), and when you have it down fairly well try breaking them up (it's convenient that almost all of the arps span 1 octave)

[H3IIKaT]

i was thinking to myself... yeah ill learn abit more then ill post my version up and ill be the only one on youtube to play it...

and then i go and find this....

just can't fault it at all, sounds so brilliant

how did u learn this in the first place? by ear? and how long did it take you?

looking at your other pieces it probably didnt take you too long being the pianist you are.

[ryanaircaughtnapping]

Simply perfect! Well done my friend!!

John Williams is THE greatest composer of the 20th century.

This is haunting, moving, chilling and heartwarming. =D

[musicforyourbody]

thanks, yeah that description fits the whole ET score well

[dafightastilremains]

Dude that is absolutely phenomenal!! I am a selftaught piano player tryin to learn to play this... from what i can tell, the bass is pretty simple but the treble is mad hard.... I am SOO impressed!

Any advice for me???... I know music theory very well so dont feel like you need to talk down to me or anything...

Thanks

[burnemdawg]

dude you rule, thanx 4 da sheet music i am close to learning da right hand

[justonefix69]

[musicforyourbody]

[pfoster1980]

Wow this is awesome...

[qwertytse]

[sara8887]

[Velothor]

Amazing man, one of the best renditions I've seen :)

[filathor]

wooooooohoo,. this was awesome,. but you should not do it so short,. would love to hear you play the whole piece of this,.

[JustinoGordon]

That was really awesome! I just watched the movie, less than 2 minuets ago, with my niece, and yours sounds so flawless. Do you have the sheet music to this?

[musicforyourbody]

thanks, yes i have it and i can send a pdf if you give me your e-mail address

[gcarnicero87]

that was SWEET!Do you have the sheet music?

I was wondering if I could get it from you

[musicforyourbody]

yeah if give me your e-mail address i can send it to you

[AztecLevy]

Yo, nice skillz. How is this song called?, I'm like dessperate to know.

Please, tell me!.

[I know it's from E.T., I'd like to know the name of the track].

Cheerz.

[musicforyourbody]

it's the end credits

[AztecLevy]

^^ can´t find a Download, rawrr!.

I'll try making a gogle search, but if you do have the track, would you please send it to me?.

... Or else, I'll just search the midi haha!.

[musicforyourbody]

go to iTunes, search "e.t. john williams." it should be the second result

[djphatd]

Dude, you are amazing! I am trying to learn this right now!

[musicforyourbody]

thanks, it's actually not incredibly difficult to play -- just tricky to get the hands going in different rhythms

[djphatd]

oh cool man!

[paulir]

Congrats on a great job with a difficult piece...folks this is the only version of the end credits on YouTube!!

[musicforyourbody]

thank you, yes i noticed that a performance of the E.T. end title was conspicuously absent on YouTube, and it has got to be one of the most classic and recognizable piano cues in motion picture history

[paulir]

Congrats on a great job with a difficult piece...folks this is the only version of the end credits on YouTube!!

[tomturton]

I started learning this about a year ago, but could never get the left hand doing different rhythms. Instead I just play triplets in both.

[tomturton]

for some reason i can't reply to your PM - I didn't have a score , I think I slowed the track right down to identify the notes. Or I might have found a MIDI file on the net.

[djphatd]

Hey man, I am learning this right now, and I had my genius friend transcribe it and make a midi for me, if ya need it I can e-mail it to ya

[kingpismire]

Well done... sounds like the original. Great piece.

[musicforyourbody]

thanx, it is a fun one to play

[orion7763]

Where did you get the music for this? I'd like to learn to play it.

[musicforyourbody]

i transcribed it. i can give you my version if you send me your e-mail address

[dongggoi]

Nice real nice
