Alan - RED CLIFF (Shin Sen) [Simple Piano Arr.]

I've tried!!
I have been playing the piano for 11 years, but I still need the sheets!! ( But I don't have any problem once I have the sheets)
Can you make a tutorial?? ^^

I guess I know what you mean..

I dont know music theory.. but to improve feeling, I think you should practice using the feeling,..

try play without sheets once in a while,.. you can listen to a music then try match the chord progression, fill-in a melody, or even counter the melody,..

when you starting to feel the harmony then you'll be able to figure and play most music without sheets and even start compose a song, play whatever you had in mind.. n finally you'll get used to it.. ^^

Thanks for your advice!! You're really talented to play a cover like that one without knowing music theory!!
I have a few questions:
- when you listen to a song, do you hear all the chords "immediately" or you hear the melody and then you put the chords you think that matched with?
-how long does it take to you to be able to play a song like xin zhan? (I guess it would take me more than 2 weeks...just to have the melody ^^)

thanks, but talented is not a right word I guess, imagine a guy that frustrated reading a musical sheet and then trying memorize them all to play and finally playing his own version rather than reading the musical sheet.. that guy is me..

when I hear the melody, I try to match the chord progression, starting from defining a root (bass), then figure out is it minor, major, 7th, etc. sometimes I have to repeat over and over,

sometimes I have to do arp thing or testing a triad over another to find out the best sounding chords,..

in the video from 1:15 to 2:16 I play some chords that I spent hours to figure out and it still didnt match the original song perfectly,..
I took a whole saturday and sunday for this song, starting from my guitar, then try it on piano.. most song done in a week maximum, but there are plenty song that took a more and I finally surender, for example, Yuna Ito - Endless Love..

but, just like I said earlier, if I keep trying maybe I could play it decently.. and I know I could.. ^^

But you already play it decently lool!!
Thanks for your advices, I'll try to learn, but it takes much more time than a week, at least 2 hours for the melody, and a dozen hours for the chords ^^ (and it never worked really well)
And I love reading music sheets, I don't like to "stay" on the same sheets for a too long time. I don't know if you understand what I mean...I always need new sheets ^^, once I can play the "old" sheets, I need some I'd never played...
