[juliar2013]

whenever I try playing the intro to this song there is a C# in my left hand that clashes with a D in my right hand? like the second note of the melody. anybody know what I'm doing wrong...?

[caileydawnosaur]

@juliar2013

I think you might have it backwards.. i think the only time you play a c# is the melody with your right hand, and in doing so, you should still be on the F# chord with your left hand.. if you are talking about the into.

buuuuuuut hoooow the hell can you play with your two hands o.O i can't play the right hand cauz i need it to help the left one.. You're awsome :)

[caileydawnosaur]

@Diiana6230 You'll learn :) It's like patting your head and rubbing your stomach

[snowboardbodyboard]

by any chance, did you learnt this from a sheet music? if so, could you send it to me please?

[caileydawnosaur]

@snowboardbodyboard Nope, learned it by ear. If you can't tell, the way I play it isn't exactly the same way Straylight Run plays it in some parts.. that's because naturally I fill in extra notes here and there to the liking of my ear :)

Let me emphasize JUST how good this tutorial is: About a week and a half ago I'd never touched a keyboard or a piano. I found an old keyboard and started playing. Someone who had been playing keyboard for less than two weeks learned this song using this tutorial. Bravo.

@7NoteChord your totally right, glad you pointed that out!. haha

[MrRds2010]

@juiar2013 there is a c#, yes it clashes with the d, but no, it's not wrong :) it's part of the song :)

[MrRds2010]

love the video, love the song :) thanks for doing the chorus, so few tutorials i found do it :)

[7NoteChord]

Just a pointer! I've been playing for years, and this is much easier if you shift your right hand into an A major position and let it play the A and G# of what your left hand is doing :)

This helps out with all the wrong notes when I've been learning this by ear. Thank you.
