EPV Tutorial - Code Geass Op 1 Colors

(NB: I stuffed up bridge and last chorus first time, so at the end of the song, it's redone.
Also, my suggested chord progressions at the bottom of the description
Also, I remembered after that in the version of Colors I did, I forgot the second half of the bridge, so I've included it)

Hi all, and welcome to the very first EPV (ExcaliburStrike's Piano Version) tutorial!

Due to popular demand, users have been requesting that the tutorial be done for the first opening theme to Code Geass - Colors.

I totally understand that this first tutorial may be waay too bland and boring, but please understand that I had to hold my video recorder in the left hand while playing with the right hand. Also, very sorry about all the background sound due to parents coming back home.

I also tried to do as much in one octave as possible, so where you see fit change the range of the verses / intro / bridge.

My (suggested) chord progressions:
(note the | symbol denotes bar lines)

Intro:
|Fmin | Gmin | Amin | Gmin Amin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Emin | Amin | Amin |

Verse:
|Amin | Gmin | Cmaj | Cmaj |
|Fmin | Gmin | Amin | Amin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Amin | Amin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Amin Gmin| |Fmin Emin | |Fmin Gmin| |Amaj |

Chorus:
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Emin | Amin | Amin Gmin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Emin | Amin | Amin |

Verse 2 (see above verse)

Chorus 2 (see above chorus)

Bridge:
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin Gmin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Fmin | Emin | Amin |
|Amin Gmin | Fmin Emin | Fmin Gmin | Amaj |

Last Chorus and ending:
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Emin | Amin | Amin Gmin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Fmin | Gmin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Emin | Amin | Amin Gmin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Emin | Fmin | Gmin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Fmin | Gmin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Emin | Amin |
|Fmin | Gmin | Amin | Amin |

Sorry about that, that must have been a bore for you guys to read.

Thanks for watching, and hope it helped!

Well, I still wanna ask that have u ever made a sheet of this song after this?

And , by the way, seems that u speak Cantonese, right?

[ExcaliburStrike]

Hi there

I haven't made sheet music for this at all - even after I did the video because I've been quite busy.

Also, yes I am Cantonese lol!

[naimazeik]

hey dude u really rock, i already know right hand but cant u do a video with the left one? lol tyvm

[ExcaliburStrike]

Hi there

Basically, I made this tutorial with the basis that you guys would use your own rhythms and possibly your own chord progressions as you see fit.

In the video description, I've listed my suggested chord progressions for the left hand.

[Leafshinoby]

Let me guess ur a japanese??

I think I heard ur mother(or that person that seaked in background) speak a foreign language and I'm sure that it's japanese based on that and ur looks. Am I right or what? ^_-

[ExcaliburStrike]

Lol - sorry I ain't Jap.

I'm you're everyday ABC (Australian Born Chinese)

[Anime958]

Thanks for the Tutorial! man it was hard for me at first.

[SorasUltimaWeaponX]

- Try showing where on the keyboard, for amateur pianists.

- Try putting the notes into the video to show what one you're hitting, if you catch my drift.

-Also play a little slower between notes and us only on finger

Thats what i realy needed in the begining but then i learned most of it up to the part where "feelings" is used three times in a sentence

[TheRoyalFirebird]

@ExcaliburStrike you need to go up one man. All of the notes you're hitting need to be shifted up one note, for example: G to A Flat, A to B Flat. Otherwise nice playing :)

[Kakashi4731]

@mrshibuyasama He didn't use sheet music. He did this himself by ear probably. I think it says how he does it in the actual video's description where he plays the right and left hand. EPV - Colors (Code Geass OP 1) is the name of the video.

[Parapper2210]

I love it

[nekavein]

its too fast i can't follow.. please make it slower so that I can play this song too in the piano.. I like this song very much

[mrshibuyasama]

hey why dont you have the sheet music??

[mrshibuyasama]

yo this is not bad but you forgot the left hand

[Geek4Lif1]

Hey I appreciate the tutorial, but just a suggestion I'm pretty sure the majority who come to watch these vids are amateurs. So posting the left-hand in the info is really not gonna help a lot of us, and really a vid for left hand is pretty necessary. I'm not saying you have to, because I still appreciate you taking the time to do the right hand.

[tsunadehim]

nice voice :D

thanks for the video (K)
