_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hello _ _ _ _ _ _ there _ _ _ [F#] _ all you video gaming piano players, in this video we're going to be playing
Minecraft from Minecraft so please rise for the Gamer National Anthem
as I play through the notes, talk about the counting, and then we'll talk some fingering
issues and play through the whole thing without any of that stuff
and if you're still having trouble, I've got some rhythm exercises that will help
you out so stick around to the end, here we go _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Who doesn't love this song?
_ _ [G#] _ _ [F#] _
Heartless people
_ _ That too. _
_ _ Also, I can't wait to get in the comments about [D#m] all the nostalgia.
That's like the only [F#] comments I get on the Minecraft videos.
_ _ But that's fair, it's very powerful. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ And then back _ to_ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] And [F#] then you repeat that as much as you like.
_ [G#m] _ [F#] But _ _ _ _ we're just gonna end it.
_ _ There.
Nice job everybody.
So let's do that again, counting out loud.
So we are on a 4-4 time signature, so we're gonna count 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4.
Pretty simple stuff.
Nice and slow.
Here we go. _ _ _ _ _ _
1-2 [C#]-3 [D#m]-4
1-2-3-4
[F#] 1 [G#]-2-3-4
1 [F#]-2-3-4
1-2 [C#m]-3 [D#m]-4
[F#] 1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
1-2-3-4
1,2,3 4 1,2,3,4 _ _ _ 1,2,3 4 1,2,3 4 1,2,3,4 [A#m]
1 [C#],2 [D#m],3,4 [F#] 1,2,3,41,2,1,2 [C#] _ [D#m] _ _ [F#] _ ,3,4 [C#]
1,2,3 [D#m],4 [F#] 1,2,3,4 [C#]
1 [F#],1,2 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,41,2,3,4 1,2,3,3,4 1,1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1, 2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2,3,4 1,2
1, 2, 3, 4. _ _ _ _
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4.
1, 2, 3, 4. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Nice!
Good job!
[C#] Alright, so let's talk about some fingering.
Left hand is the easier of the two.
I want you to keep your finger 5 or your pinky on C sharp at all [F#] times.
Because basically you're just playing these notes.
Sometimes this one, but that's it.
That's literally it.
You're playing these four notes throughout the entirety of the piece.
[C#] So keep this here and you're in good [D#m] business.
Right hand, slightly more involved.
Basically what you want to do is treat this group of five flat keys like each [F#] finger has their own home.
_ _ [G#] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [G#] See [C#] _ [D#m] how every finger has a home there?
_ And you won't need [G#] to move around.
_ [C#]
[F#] I wonder if [G#] C418 did [D#m] that on purpose.
_ [G#] [C#] So I'm gonna go [F#] ask him.
But when you get into the next part here, I like to switch to [D#m] finger 2 and 4
_ [G#] _ [D#m] _ [A#] _ _ [C#] so I can reach that C sharp.
And then I'll switch to finger [A#] 3 here.
[C#m] 2, 4, [D#m] 1, 5.
[F#] 1, 5, [G#] 3, 2.
[F#] 1, 2, [G#] 4, [D#] 2, 5, [F#] 3, 1.
See that one more [D#m] time?
_ _ [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [A#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ [D#m] _ _ _ [F#] _
And if it's not exactly perfect, whatever it takes [D#] to get you there,
[F#] _ like 2 and 5 here would be good [G#] too.
[D#m] _ _ _
_ [F#] The nice thing is this piece is slow enough to do that.
And then back to finger 1 [G#] here.
_ [F#] _ _ [C#] And then [G#] you'll be able to hit the rest of the piece just fine.
Let's do all that again, not counting it loud.
And I encourage you to play along with me.
And if you feel like you're still having trouble,
I've got a rhythm exercise that will help you out.
So stick around for that. _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#m] _ [D#m] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [D#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [D#m] _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [F#] _ _
_ _ And that's all there is to it.
So the weird part about this song is you can't kind of always tell
that it's in 4 because the rhythm almost never plays on beat 1 in phrasing.
So it's 1, 2, 3, [D#m] 4,
1, 2, 3, 4.
So what I want you to do [F#] is just tap out that rhythm with both hands at the same time,
especially for those of you who are having trouble playing same hands at the same time.
So 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2.
That's all we're going to do.
1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2.
And what this does,
it shows you when the right hand is playing and when the left hand is playing.
Not showing the
right notes, but showing the right timing and the right rhythm.
So let's do that again.
_ 1, 2, 3, 4,
1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2.
So you may ask, why is this important?
Aren't the notes more important?
They are not more important.
They're just as important as the rhythm.
So once that's feeling
comfortable, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2.
Add the left hand correct notes.
1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3,
4, _ 1, 2, 3, and there's the correct notes there.
Once that's feeling comfortable, you're not making any mistakes,
which is totally possible, very possible for you not to make mistakes. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Add the correct notes in the right hand. _
_ [G#] _ _ [F#] _ There you go, hands together, [C#] one [D#m] step at a time.
[F#] So we did the rhythm first, _
_ added a left hand. _ _ _
Oops, let's see.
I made a mistake, so I'm going to slow down. _ _
_ _ _ And do it again just to prove it wasn't a fluke.
_ _ _ _ Then add the right hand.
_ _ [D#m] _ _ _ And that's it, everybody.
[C#] Nice job, everyone.
That's it.
There's no other part to this.
Go show off to your
friends and go get everybody to stand up and rise for the national anthem.
And as always, happy practicing.
