To watch the slower version one... go here

First of all, the video was just a test video to just see what it would look like on youtube since back then I was new to this site. I have posted a slower version already if you haven't noticed the link above.

For those who think my piano is out of tune, it's probably my digital camera sound quality or the fact I don't know how to properly use the piano pedal. (I held the pedal down the whole time haha!)

Yep... this is me playing All My Life by Kc and Jojo on the piano. I learned all of this on my own and I don't know how to read music sheets or notes at all. I play the piano all by ear. So most of this was trial and error.

Plus from what I learned from other people who criticize the way how I play this song, the original notes (from the official music sheet) are using all white keys while I'm using black keys. If you watch the real music video, you will notice that they are playing the song with black keys. See it for yourself.

  • you said you do not know how to read notes at all.how come in the latter, you stated that from the official music sheet, its using white keys?.

  • @PaulFreestar14 because when i see people play straight from the notes, they play with the white keys.

  • if your that good i dont know why u would want to play it that fast and make it sound bad i think u should make another vid playing normal speed

  • but i'm not that good :(

  • you have it backwards. the original uses the black keys (its in Db major I believe)

  • yeah im using black keys. on the music sheet that you can buy uses all white keys. i think that k-ci and jojo didnt want people to learn how to play the original style of the song. i just learned the song by ear.
