Firth Of Fifth (Genesis) - Piano

This is my attempt at that brilliant Genesis song, "Firth Of Fifth", from their album "Selling England By The Pound".

I know there are lots of versions of Firth of Fifth piano solos on YouTube already, so I've played some of the other passages, not just the classic 'solo'!

Hope you enjoy! It's not 100% perfect, but hopefully I'm not too far off. This is played on my Yamaha DGX-620 keyboard. Sorry for poor quality, it's the camera's fault!

Comments/ratings appreciated. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful job of a beautiful song,,does that keyboard have weighted keys?

[jproscoe]

It does indeed, nice piano feel to it.

[MyFabFour]

Where did you learn to play the part before the flute solo?

[jproscoe]

Same method as the rest - opening the notation of the midi file.

[rodoaloy92]

Awsome!, its realy good

I was wondering wether you have any tab of the song, y wanetd to play it at once =D

PS: You accelerate time at more or less minute 1.25, but that shows your skills to ;)

Good luck and i'll wait for your answer!

[jproscoe]

Thanks for your comment!

I learnt this mainly by using a Firth of Fifth midi file which I opened in Cubasis to read the notation - it's a great way of learning a lot of songs!

And you're right, it's too fast towards the end - I think I got a bit carried away!

Nice the first part :)....but when you come into the Bb part...... what the are you doing????? it becomes TOOOOOOO fast!!! It's horrible!!!! Fast does't mean "bravo!!!", remember......

[forbesb]

The sonfg is played at a high tempo , but too agree with you I beleive he plays it faster than the original

My brother made a bet with me.if I learned this song by next Christmas Eve, then he'd give me $200...can you make a tutorial on how to play this song? :D

[stargirlsg11]

I have the same piano! :O

[javierdeljeur]

God, I wish I had half your skill... thanks for sharing this.

[greatpcfan]

I loved your video, watched many times already. I do not like the part in Bb you accelerated too much .... in my opinion would be nicer if it was slower ...

I'm trying to learn this song, already posted a video with the introduction part in you tube, but is still not good. I`m training!

Sorry my English, I`m braziliam!

For those of you wondering why the end section is so fast, this is the reason:

His camera could only record videos up to a certain length and to fit what he wanted to play into one video he had to speed up. He's not trying to "show off".

That is why - I know him personally so I know this for a fact.

Hopefully that might put an end to the volume of "too fast" comments....

@jimbojasper

Great job! You can`t it play better with one lonely instrument:-)

[555ontario]

Wholy... nice job, wow... Did classical training assist you in this presentation? This would take me a long time to figure out by ear but maybe that's just me...
