This arrangement was played live! So you might see some very short notes, because that's just how I played it when recording. I do not enter notes by mouse or in a software, like other folks do - this is a fully playable arrangement. If you are not sure, which hand to use for certain notes, look at my live video - or just choose what feels right for you. There are multiple ways to play it.John Legend - All Of Me (SYQ Piano Version)SYQmusic2018-01-08 | Hi, this is my cover of the "legendary" piano ballad.

Only relevant for users in Germany and Switzerland. In all other countries the video should already be available on Youtube. Sorry for bothering you. ;)
Vor einer Weile hab ich dieses Cover mit dem Originalplayback hochgeladen. Ich gehe davon aus, dass das Video auf normalem Weg nicht in Deutschland oder der Schweiz zu sehen ist. Wahrscheinlich haben auch Abonnenten nicht mitbekommen, dass überhaupt ein neues Video hochgeladen wurde. (?) Deshalb musste ich auf Alternativen umsteigen ...
Neben Vimeo kann man das Video aber auch direkt auf Youtube sehen, wenn man die Ländersperre umgeht. Dazu kann man z.b. Tubeunblock nutzen: http://tubeunblock.org/watch?v=PD52NhmDCbk

This is a keyboard tutorial for the intro/chorus of "Dirty Loops - Hit Me".
INFO:
1. No, I'm not a native English speaker (apparently) :) 2. No, I don't have sheets. 3. The software displaying the keys and notes is called "simple piano". It's pretty ... simple. For some reason it doesn't display all the sharps and note names (it says "C" when I play "C#"). However the blue keys that are lighting up on the virtual keyboard are always correct. 4. Everything I play in the video is transposed one octave up! I had to do it, because the software couldn't display the low keys, that I would actually play. 5. This is only the Intro/chorus of the song. At this time I don't know how the rest of the song is played. ;) 6. This is just the way I play the song. I don't think that it's 100% correct. For example the intro is actually played by two different instruments - a piano and a synthesizer. They don't play the same notes all the time and this made it kind of difficult to find the right voicings. 7. The keyboard sound I use comes from the Yamaha Motif XS 8. I layered a bright piano and a supersaw to create the sound you hear.Rihanna - Stay (SYQ Piano Version)SYQmusic2013-06-04 | My version of Rihanna - Stay ft. Mikky Ekko.

14.01.2012 Today the total number of views on my videos reached 100.000! Thanks to everyone who clicked. ;)
For this special reason I decided to put up a studio version from "Burned With Desire" I recorded at home.

The midi file is exactly what is shown in the video. Depending on your equipment it may sound different of course. It is only meant for practicing. I hope it helps some of you.
If you don't know what a MIDI file is and what you have to do with it: You can import this file into synthesia. For more information you might check google. I'm sure it is explained somewhere. ;)
By the way: By making this midi file available for download you are really getting the "source" for this video and also for the version I played on the real piano. It is exclusive content, 'coz this version is not available anywhere else, you get it for free and you can be sure that it is "correct".
Shortly said: Support in any form is appreciated and it helps me to get an idea which kind of content is popular and what I am going to upload next.
Bye. :)
_____________________________
Wooohooo. Finally there it is! :)
Although I'm not fully satisfied with the video, due to the heavy frame skipping - sorry for that. I don't really have a clue about screen recording and tried dozens of softwares and recorded it on three different computers - it didn't help. But I thought I put it on YT anyway, so you don't have to keep waiting. ;)
Some notes about this video:
1. No, the 50% at the bottom does not mean the actual tempo is double speed. ;) I recorded it half speed to reduce skipping.
2. While creating this tutorial I tried to stick to the arrangement I played in my original video, but there might be some small differences. I never play this song exactly the same. Sometimes I might add notes or leave them away.
It was kinda hard to play the vocal melody on piano, coz' Lana's style of singing is unique and you can't really imitate it. But I love the original, so I just had to record it.
Actually I wanted to give my clip the vintage feel from the original video, but I couldn't find my super 8 cam, so you'll have to live with a digital recording. :)
If you like it tell your friends, rate, comment, subscribe or do a handstand.
Cya around!
-------------- TUTORIAL ------------
First of all thanks for all your positive reaction! I don't have sheets and I don't know if there is any sheet music existing for this song - I did this version by myself and the only reference was the original recording. I'm aware that many people asked (and are asking) for a tutorial and I consider doing one. I'll just have to figure some things out, 'coz I didn't plan to do this at first. Honestly I wouldn't have expected that the response on this video would be so huge. :)
For future information be sure to subscribe to my channel, so you won't miss out on the tutorial when it's finally done! I'll also post an announcement on my stream to keep you up to date. Thanks for waiting ... :)
--------------------------------------------
UPDATE: I'll do the "Video Games" tutorial with synthesia. But I have to get familiar with the program and a screen recording software first. Anyway, the final arrangement (as I played it) may be tricky to learn. If you are a beginner you might find it difficult, 'coz as you may have noticed I play a lot of chords in both hands in the chorus.
btw: Respect to everyone who tried to learn it from the actual video. :) Stay tuned!
--------------------------------------------
UPDATE: Hey folks! The tutorial itself is almost done, but i'm having trouble with my screen recording software. During recording it slows synastheisa down, so it doesn't run smoothly and produces heavy skipping. See if i can find a solution. If not I'll have to upload it the way it is, so you already have something to pratice with. I'll keep you up to date. -------------------------------------------
UPDATE: I just uploaded the tutorial ! :) You can find it on my channel or here as a video response.Ayumi Hamasaki - Dearest (Piano Version, Live by SYQ) (HD)SYQmusic2011-10-09 | Hey everyone!
Yeah - my last upload was long ago, so it's about time for something new. Thank you so much for all your views, friend requests, subs, likes and comments on my videos and channel so far. :)
This time I chose a song from Japan's famous artist Ayumi Hamasaki. My arrangement is based on the piano version of "Dearest", but it's slightly changed, 'cos I wanted to have the vocal melody in the right hand.
I didn't use sheet music for my arrangement and I don't know if there is any existing. Everything was done by ear.
IMO the sound quality improved compared to my last upload, since I have a nice Nikon cam now. ;)
Stay tuned for new piano recordings and some huge electronic stuff I'm workin' on (... but not tellin' now). ;)Armin van Buuren - Burned With Desire (Piano-Version by SYQ)SYQmusic2010-07-08 | High quality recording and MP3-Download here: http://youtu.be/QB-VWwfXCPU ________________________
Number three ... ;) This time a little tribute to Armin with his beautiful song "Burned with Desire". My (re)arrangement is based on the original album version. Sorry for the huge amount of noise in this recording! But I don't have a decent audio recording gear. Hope you enjoy anyway! ____________________________ INFO:
