Dark Fantasy - Kanye West (Piano Lesson by Matt McCloskey)

[CTWCristianTheWack]

Do you think this is a pretty difficult song to play on piano for a beginner?

[NorthpawProductions]

@CTWCristianTheWack honestly, no. I think you could learn this

[GregoryMoncayo]

Every time i hear this song, i think of the hangover commercial.

[NorthpawProductions]

@GregoryMoncayo hahaha yeah, I remember that

[GregoryMoncayo]

@NorthpawProductions , hahahaha it's so great

[jordan10103]

favourite chorus of all time kanye is a genius this really helped me out it would be cool to see you play piano for big artist some day

[NorthpawProductions]

[YeezyTaughtMe19]

[doodoobutter101]

your right hand on that verse is slightly off...just a smidge! still sounds great though! =)

[NorthpawProductions]

@doodoobutter101 cool cool; glad it still worked for you haha; how long have u been playing piano?

[djsalib]

@NorthpawProductions yeah cause u made it so! But it looks pretty impressive and hard to learn when I show people :D

[NorthpawProductions]

@djsalib cool cool try using the pedal that helps pull this song together a little more

[djsalib]

Thanks so much for doing my request!!! It's awesome and I can now pllaaaaaaaayyyy

Cheers

Keep it up!

[NorthpawProductions]

@djsalib thanks, pretty easy to learn right?

[kylehasswag]

Your videos have taught me so much! Lol I learned a lot of these songs already just by watching you play them! Thanks man

[NorthpawProductions]

@kylehasswag I'm glad you like! that's impressive that you can pick up songs so fast from my videos haha how long have u been playing?

[kylehasswag]

@NorthpawProductions I picked up piano around September, but I learned pretty quick because I'm in music theory. I'm only 17, and I'm self-taught lol.

[NorthpawProductions]

@kylehasswag legit; do you write your own stuff or do just covers?

[kylehasswag]

@NorthpawProductions Mainly covers of songs that don't belong on piano lol. Alot of pop-punk songs I know on guitar, I just play on piano

[NorthpawProductions]

@kylehasswag like who? I'm into pop-punk, gimme an example :P

[kylehasswag]

@NorthpawProductions Like all the other cliche bands 17 year olds are into, All Time Low, Bayside, Blink 182, Yellowcard, etc. Lol the list goes on and on.

[NorthpawProductions]

@kylehasswag gotcha haha those are all pretty solid, esp Blink do you know what's up with their new album?

[kylehasswag]

@NorthpawProductions Dude, I have no idea. I know they stayed off of Warped and stopped touring in Europe so they can write/record. I just neeeeeeeeeeeed new Blink lol.

[NorthpawProductions]

@kylehasswag same. I'm going through withdrawal symptoms presently haha

[kylehasswag]

@NorthpawProductions Lolol dude, Here's Your Letter is like the greatest song ever.

[NorthpawProductions]

@kylehasswag Not Now, Man Overboard, Dumpweed.... to name a few haha

[kylehasswag]

@NorthpawProductions :O You just named some of my favorites! Haha those, Going Away To College, Apple Shampoo, M+M's, Online Songs, Shut Up, All of This, and Stockholm Syndrom, all my favorites lol.

[NorthpawProductions]

@kylehasswag sounds like your favorites are pretty well rounded haha I think you hit at least one song from every LP there; Blink's classic I will definitely be playing them for my kids one day

[kylehasswag]

@NorthpawProductions Lol it's pretty crazy when I think about who all's gonna be on the "classic" radio station when we get older! Haha.

[NorthpawProductions]

@kylehasswag yeah doesn't look too hot with all the trash on the radio now; classic implies that it's good music, and most of what they play on the radio falls way short of that

[kylehasswag]

@NorthpawProductions Lmao dude, I TOTALLY respect your desicion cause you obviously have great taste from the songs you've done. But like what?

[NorthpawProductions]

@kylehasswag I mean, with the exception of guys like Kanye, Eminem, JayZ who are veterans in the game at this point, I have yet to truly be wowed by any of today's hip-hop. most of it just seems repetitive and unoriginal

[tackysacky1]

this is the best piano teacher ever!!.



[NorthpawProductions]

@tackysacky1 wow, that's quite a compliment, thank you.... I take it this helped?

[985steven]

[PreemiumX]

@NorthpawProductions /watch?v=wIBTrN5Odbg , I really appreciate it man!

[NorthpawProductions]

@PreemiumX yeah haha I'll give it a try as soon as I get a chance

[PdubzCrew]

Good tutorial, I have to send this to my brother over facebook because he's a big kanye fan.

btw in piano what are the most essential chords for a song ? like when i try to make my own peices i have no idea what chords go together well which makes me just give up lol.

[NorthpawProductions]

@PdubzCrew it depends on what key you're in, but most pop songs use a combination of the root, 4th, 5th, and minor6th chords; that is, you build a triad off each key with that tone as the lowest in the chord

hope this helps, if you have other questions, send them my way :)
