[cloudzumer]

600000 people gave up from video 1 to 2 and 100000 gave up from video 2 to 3. not me though. made it all the way and i gotta say many thanks ryan. i love this song. keep up the good work. looking to forward to river flows in you if you make the tutorial.

[NineToesXD]

Gonna Play This For The Duke Of England T-T

[pianov8]

Great tutorial and have stuck at it and learnt it in a week. Looks harder than it really is but knowing chords has made it easier to understand.Only recently started playing piano. Thanks Ryan.

[RedMyst33]

FFFFIIIINNNALLLLLYYYY if ve been trying to play this for weeks and now im finally finished. Thank You Ryan for everything

[culbertsonew]

After practicing this hellishly difficult song for what now feels like a fraction of my life, I have this to say: INSTA-SUBSCRIBE

[IsaacInYourPants]

"Your left hand's gonna go crazy" "Oh yeah shouldn't be too diffic- OH MY GOD!"

[SarahJaneFernandez]

thank you thank you thank you thank you! I finally learned it!

I thought I gonna die at the crazy left hand part, but hey: Just my hands died.... ^_^

[Gotcha1337]

"Your left hand is gonna go crazy" *stare*

[CharmedNijntje]

dude you rock! thank you thank you thank you! (now need practice XD ) and btw your realy funny

[Begbrannan]

I'm not saying its bad or anything but this is actually played quite different to the official version right? Where the left hand plays faster (4:40ish) its supposed to go 8 notes up then 4 down rather than just 11 up 1 down. + there is an octave between the first two notes - I found this video cos I was tryna find the best way to play that bit, its much harder than what your doing here. Good work still though, Nobuo is a legend!

[thatwasawikkedgoogly]

That part where the fingers move fast is fucking hard

[TKTRiseAgainst]

This song is the reason I bought a piano.. It's always been one of my dreams to play to zanarkand. Thanks man this helped quite a bit. Helps a lot more than the video I've been watching haha

[Koalafyable]

YESSSS!!!! I MADE IT!!!! I thought this day would never come *cries tears of joy* T-T thanx ryan 4 everything!!! and congratulations for every one who struggled to make it to the end! and keep going for those are still struggling!!!! Good Luck to all of u!!! :D ;D IM SO HAAAAAAPPPPPPY!!!!!!

[gotitans999]

@Koalafyable Now just wait for River Flows in You. It's not harder than this. :) Coming out in a few weeks...

[cloudjin893]

you sir won me a bet, now i have someone to tie my shoes for me whenever its untied :)

[xguerrax]

Thumbs up if you learned this song from Ryan :)!

[redvelvetz]

yayyyy finally done. thank you sir

[hitsugayafan4life]

OMFG I've DONE IT!!!!!!!!!!

[nanjirou2]

only 100,000 passed.... compared to the first video which was 800,000 poeple

[AJassat]

Sir, this song and your tutorial were the reason I first started learning the piano. I can finally play this, it's been a very rewarding experience and you have my thanks. Check out my channel to see what you have unleashed on the world >:3

[MrDude904]

I hope you said that right too bro :)

[TheGrilNextStreet]

I'm finishing the ending part now after 2 years, talk about procrastination... I see why I stopped before, the second part is sick fast.

[isybub]

This was the best one to learn off. I started learning off another guy and he stopped doing the vids, so I finished with this guys. Very helpful ++

[MrBurnaut]

..Why am i watching this i don't even have a piano

[BagelzZzMonicaLol]

@MrBurnaut hahaha!!!! you're funny! me neither but im getting one soon, im just "packing up" on piano stuff

[Lekkerdom]

I have been practicing for 3 months and now im on the 3 vid, its a hard song, thanks for taking the time to teach us

[TheAlaRubra]

so around 90 000 ppl give up on second part now =(

[yuuriin]

IVE LEARNED TO PLAY :'(

now i can play it even on 5 octave keyboard.

[bhermoth]

is there a more simpler way to play this song...

[renji691]

@bhermoth I dont think so mate, I have seen a few of these and this is the simplest one, unless your up to the challenge of the piano collections one

[DimitrisFioras]

you should learn the piano's basics and then this song

[PipingMike1]

Can you make more final fantasy tutorials?

[Rosko013]

Thank you!

[zachsloan07]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

[flyingboi2]

I dont get the behind part where the hands go "crazy" flying here and there.. lol

[SaraAMJ]

After starting off with enthusiasm, hitting some bumps on the road, cooling off, letting months pass by, then going back with determination, facing all the parts I thought were too hard for me to master, keeping in mind the great feeling of learning it, and getting to that last second of the video, .......

I HAVE FINALLY LEARNED THIS SONG !!!!!

and I have no one but you to thank, Ryan.

[gotitans999]

@SaraAMJ You're welcome! I'm sorry my videos weren't that good in 2007.. :/ lol

[WhsPianist]

@gotitans999 i accually liked your tutorials back in 07 better... thats when i learned this song, and it was much eaiser cause they were slower and in more detail

now you seem like you just want to speed through them

just thought you should know.

[GiulioFct94]

Finally,after 1 years,I've learned this soooooong

[Blizzard60893]

Wonderful Tutorial!!!!... Very helpful. It was a hard song to learn, but none the less possible with this tutorial at my leisure. I really appreciate it and again... you did a wonderful job.

[Kapik22]

I've learned it finally, after a lot of struggling and cenzurable words I can say I can play this :) even if my keyboard is too short for some parts still it sounds great :) , thx bro for this tutorial!

[S4wFr3aK]

now i'm by that crazy hands MY GOD IT'S SO DIFFICULT!!!!!!!!

[wittybutwise]

Is this a modified version? It seems different then most (all) of the other video's tutorials out there. Im at the hard part and I can do it fairly well but it still sounds... different then the actual song, The song makes it sound like more runs then just repeating the same cord over and over, in a higher octave, or is this a simplified version?

[MyBloodblade2]

YES I DID IT CAN PLAY THE DANM THING (did it in 3 and half days) have now joined the elite club of people who have learnt it by this tutorial

Thank you

[SinPyro]

ahh damnit.... FINALLY....

[Sicioldr]

Finished!!! Thank you...

[Rumpetroll95]

I started at part 1 last weekend. And now... I've finally learned it. :D

I'm so happy. ^^ It's a beatiful song. Thanks a lot for making this tutorial.

Time to find a new song to start learning. ^^

[shinrainc88]

Hmm... I think I'm not gonna learn that 'hard part'. That sounds pretty lazy or like I don't think I can do it but I just think it doesn't really fit after I saw you play it in your other video. It's... too much. Well anyways thanks for teaching ;D You're a really good teacher!

[Beutseckerson]

jeah thankss!

[shtina811]

Mission completed!!

[MakakuraNobustuna]

Ryan. This song tutorial helped play this song, I could not find an easier tutorial, and I was wondering , if you could do video tutorial, teaching us how to play Eternity memory of lightwaves from final fantasy x-2. Thank you!

[Riushinn]

I love how the views get smaller and smaller from part 1 to part 3

[pilotgiga]

Thank you for the GREAT Tutorial!!

Learned it in 1 1/2 Days :)

[qwertyshaan123]

Fantastic, are you the same person that does playpianoking? If so, I love you and learned so much off you, I learned alot of songs from you but this is definitely the hardest by far, the first video says 'estimated time to learn: 3 days' it took me like 2 weeks !! But I'm so glad a persevered and learned it, piano isn't my instrument. ( I play drums) but recently I've been learning piano, all my school friends think I'm a piano mastermind now and it's all thanks to you!!!

I love you so much, th

[TahMahn2552]

Only problem I have is that my keyboard is too small >.<

[Eliza0445]

I FINISHED!!!! 8D YESSSSSS THANKS!

took me months ._.

[s0pinoii]

the first video has over 300,000 views! the second has over 170,000! which means almost half the people gave up after the first part... this has about 90,000 views which means even more people gave up after the second... thumbs up for the people still learning! :D

[ujustgotpwnednoob]

ughh i have a question the part of the song when everything repeates, u said to repeat the part that refers to the beggining of the song ( 1:54 ) but the song ends on the section that he plays at ( 1:45 ) was that just a mistake on his part? or did i miss something :/

[luddy031]

we have lost 600,000 brave warriors to sin, but they sucked anyway

[Squall1931]

wow man this was one heck of a week learning this song but great tutorial!

[belthasardk]

Thax a lot!! finally i finish to learn this beautifull song!!! thanx, great job!

[UTF5658]

YES! and all it me was 3-4 months........ =P

[konohaangel]

your a good teacher mann

no doubt about it...

and your quality is so good!

we can understand every single thing u show us.

GOOD JOB! :)

[ThomasKayTcc]

Awesome job ryan!. I've so far learnt up to the start of this part. its taken me a good 2 months or so though to perfect it. BUt by the looks of this part this is gonna take a while :) Cheers mate!

[kanden12]

Oh my gosh, the people saying this video sucks should learn to respect others, get a job, and they should be shot.

[temaniss]

love this beautiful song. thanks a bunch to Ryan, i'm able to play it now!!

[iesusnazarenus]

A lack of competence hurts other people. Nice effort on your part, but you need to be able to play what you're teaching.

[shadowspsp]

that is not quite correct, how you played the "hard" part. but still good tutorial

[ShurikenOfLight]

I'm going to teach you to be the best pianist in the world.

WIN!

[iZanthe]

The bit where your left hand went crazy, was scary, lol. SO FAST! 4:02.

[killforfunandmoney69]

@iZanthe I got to say it. THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!!!!

[Stokogu]

YESSSSS, the last thing to do before i die has been done (learning "to zanarkand")

[kenxero151]

@Stokogu haha same b4 i die

[ecsurvivor]

lol i like that at the hard part when u said "your left hand is gunna go crazy"

[tchingtchangtchong]

You're a good teacher of course. But something I can follow you... I should login your videos.

[noahmm69]

i can play it all except the fast part cuz (no offense) you didnt teach that part very well

[jollibunbun7]

its a very easy scale... just practice it... i learned that part by ear at least he shows you wat to play

[boldalicious]

hey u did a nice job with this tutorial. I almost know how to play the whole song except for the hard part when u play fast.

Its hard for me to play that part, because you only show how to play the left hand, which makes it hard for me to play the right and the left hand at the same time, bcause i dont know the timing then. Could you play that part again, but then with both hands. I hope I can learn it easier then. But u did really great on this tutorial i really appreciate it.

[justin1064]

YES I HAVE LEARNED IT!!! thank you so much....im so happy =) now im off to learn some more ff songs. ur a great teacher

[TheRaybay]

I learnt It

Thanks yo so much

[shgfe3ay]

@TheRaybay well done!!

[SkyVin09]

oh god.. the crazy part is driving me nuts...its gonna need alot of practice

[BeggsAndAcon]

Don't you just love YouTube? :)

[shgfe3ay]

@BeggsAndAcon hell yeahhhhhhhhh

[ezuan88]

at last, im done with this song ! i can play it now!!!!

[onelife271]

i almost master that song except the crazy left hand.good work for your tutorial.

[nauvoo97]

the man

[phozoferwe]

thanks for this tutorial!

[popopo2311]

from 500,000 on the first vid to 70,000... what does that say about the ppl at home?

[DjYegua]

it says we learned, and they didn't

[hpmaster091]

lucky long fingers piano ppl >:3

[NicoAlleyway]

thx man !

[briidgetsunshine]

What would I do without you, Ryan? <3 you complete me

[propranker]

awesome. thanks so much for uploading these three videos!!

[punkira999]

tks man =D

[Leahkaikahasu]

It's times like this when I'm glad I has real piano!! haha

[chin2107]

good thing my keyboard have a sustain...but I still don't know if it is long enough...T-T and also I have a hand of a 10years old girl!!!lol having difficulties when it comes to playing like both C's

[Fendrounaris]

It doesn´t matter :-) You can train your fingers. Then you can play an octave one day^^ My piano teacher have very little hands too and shee´s great!

[findlay27]

My keyboard is JUST big enough lol! I'm on part 3 now and those chords are tough. Though thank you very much for the tutorial! Once I finally get a pedal for my Yamaha NP-30 It'll sound much better... I have no pedal or sustain lol!

I'm considering getting the Yamaha FC5 Pedal... though if anyone knows of a better quality for price pedal please do let me know within 5 days when my pay comes in.

[Xx0chester0nicko0xX]

also my keyboard si too small..:(

but great tutorial..

you're a good pianist..

[creativemangaTV]

when you said the left hand is going to be crazy, i thought i was going to die. I was fine until i saw that... :O YOU ARE AN AWESOME TEACHER!!! And an AWESOME PIANIST!

[HappyBee232]

My KeyBoard Is Too Small T.T Wah.

But Good Tutorial o.o

[HighPriestofApathy]

Actually, the fast bit that you try to replace here isn't that difficult. It's just a series of arpeggios, and is actually played pretty slowly. It sounds impressive, but it's really easy to pull off.

[ezuan88]

ive just downloaded your videos from part 1 till 3 , i had too ... i need to convert it to mp4 so i can put it inside my ipod ... its hard to learn it like this using youtube, btw thanks a lot ... im trying my best now !!!

[marmoura]

Heyy I just wanted to thank you for this video. :D It really helped me learn the entire song, but I don't think I'll be able to play that crazy super fast part x__x

anywayz, thanks again :)

[buffyXXangelus]

i dont have a long enogh keyboard so i just dont do the flashy bit...but thats fun to do by itself lol XD

[farsijad67]

it's sooo long! lol, good tutorial! thanx!

[skid544]

if anyone doesnt have an 88 key piano and doesnt wanna spend heaps of money, look for a Yamaha P-85 Digital Piano, its really good, and only cost around $1000 ( 1000 australian dollars ).

[Anwarboy786]

expensive!

[TheGosu]

You mind doing a tutorial on Final Fantasy 7 Main Theme Piano Collections?

You're an amazing teacher on youtube lol.

[shizune999]

Hi i like this song and am learning for the first time and am not that great but altry may best :)

[Takeshiii]

very hard song to learn. But very satisfying when complete! Like me! :D

[branbranboy]

a1strank, try moving it up an octive, it may sound weird but u wil be able to play it in a way

[SuperSupper2]

there are a bunch of missing notes in this... especially at the calm parts

[TheFarlio]

Its a hard song to learn

[Killingdyl]

@TheFarlio well the first 2 parts are easy, until u get to the crazy hands lol

[a1strank]

so sad I don't have an 88 key keyboard :( I want to finish learning this song !! :(

[Moppy]

me2 but you can play it with leaving the missing tunes

[gaWgaMes]

Thank You!! I put a video responce to you!

[YukiiSan12]

First I have to tell you, that you're the besttt Pianist I ever saw! Really! And for the second I have a question:

I'm a "fast-learner" and I learnd the song quickly ( except for the HARD Part, because I'm only 12 years old, and my fingers have to habituate, these big distances between the keys! ), but my timing is incorrect I think! And my question is:

Do I NEVER learn the timing, or does it come itself?!

(SORRY for my bad english )

Many THX to you for everything!

Yukii

[luckysebu]

WOWOWO I love this!!

Im working on this now!

[skid544]

Yeah... I've practiced this for atleast 30 days together. LOL

The easy thing about this song though is that it's quite repetitive, but it's not a too easy song.

I love you making this vid's, and I study from them well.

Keep it going! ;)
