_ Hello YouTubers, today I'm going to be teaching you Who's Crying Now by Journey.
There's multiple ways to play this song.
I made my own way to play it.
You can change it up, you can make it harder or easier.
Some keyboards are smaller, I have a full size, but some are smaller so you can adjust
it to whichever keyboard you have.
But I'm going to teach you my way, and feel free to change it if you would like to.
_ Okay, let's begin. _
Okay, let me teach you the first part.
Let me go ahead and play the first part for [Am] you so you know what you're going to be learning.
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ So how about we start with the right hand because I'm going to start with the more complicated.
First you're going to be playing a C, an E, and an A.
Okay, _ and that's going to be kind of like staccato, so it's going to be quick.
[B] And then you're going to go down to a B, [G] D, G.
[G#m] _
[Am] _ [G] And _ then you're just going to [Am] go right back up [G] and play it again.
The [Am] second time that you play this C, E, A, it's not staccato.
_ [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ _ And then in your left hand while [A] you play that, you're going to be playing a single
A down here.
Some people play the double, but I like to start out with just the single.
I add in the double later on.
But you start with a single A, and you [Am] start with a single A, and you [G] [Am] just_
_ _ [G] _
And that's basically a pretty simple [F] song.
So let's go ahead and move on to the next part.
_ Okay, the second part is going to be_
I'm going to play it again for you.
_ _ _ [G] _
[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
So the right hand is very similar.
The left hand does a little bit more than it did before.
So you, in the right hand, you're going to be playing [Am] the C, E, A like you were before.
[F#m] And you're going to [G] go right down to the B, D, and G, [Am] and then go right back up.
[G] So _ [Am] _ it starts out exactly the same.
But then you're [C] going to go down to a G, C, E.
[Am] So it's going to sound [G] like_
_ [Am] _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ And that's the [Am] only difference, but it's played exactly the same as the first [G] part [Am] was.
_ _ [C] _ And the left [Am] hand is going to_
It was playing the A before, [G] so_
_ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _ [E] And then you're going to go ahead and play this E, _ [A] A, and [F] then you're going to play an F.
And then as soon as you hit that F, [Am] then [G] you [F] play_
_ [C] _ _ So let [A] me go ahead and play it the whole way through.
_ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _
[Em] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] And we're going to go ahead and move on to the next part.
_ Okay, here's the third part.
I'm going to go ahead and play it for you.
_ [Dm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [G] Okay, so what we have here_
I'm going to start out with the right hand again.
_ You're going to be [Dm] playing a D, F, and A _ [B] first.
And then you're going to move down to a [Em] B, E, and G.
[Dm] So it's going to sound [Em] like_ _
_ [Dm] Again, the first part's [Em] staccato.
That's pretty common throughout this song.
And then _ [Dm] after that, [Em] _ [Dm] instead of going up here like you think you would, _
you're going to [E] go_
And then you're just going to play these two notes, _ _ the B and the E.
[G] And then you're going to move up and you're going to play the D and the G.
So [Dm] it's going to sound _ [Em] like_
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
[F] Okay, and meanwhile, in the left hand, you're going from where you were before.
And [C] you're [D] going_ _
[C] So that's going to be C, [D] E, D.
And after you play that C, E, D,
you go on [Dm] your right hand [Em] and you play that.
_ And then you're going to [E] move up to an E, _ and you _ [G] play_
_ Okay, so I'm going to go ahead and play that through with both [E] hands.
That part I just told you. _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] Pardon.
[E] _
[Em] _ _ _ _ And then from there, you're going to go in [A] your left hand up to an A,
and you're just going to play that beginning [Am] part again.
[G] _
_ [Am] _ But without the [C#m] third, or without the fourth part.
So I'm going to play that whole section through.
Actually, you know what?
I'm going to play the whole thing that I've taught you so far
so you can get the whole thing, make sure you got [Am] everything right.
_ _ [B] _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [F] _ _
[C] _ _ [E] _ [Dm] _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
[Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _
_ Okay?
And then you actually are going to play that multiple times throughout this whole song.
And what I like to do from here is when you_
You're going to play that whole thing again.
You're going to play the whole thing again.
But to transition it, after you get that final, _ [G] _ [Am] _
_ you [Em] _ [A] go_
Now, if you have the full keyboard, which [E] I know some people are on smaller keyboards,
which I was, but now if you have a full keyboard, full piano, whatever,
I [Em] like to go [A] _ and play the octave A.
Because it gives it a fuller sound.
And then you play the whole thing again.
And you're going to play that whole section three times.
So the third time, the second time you [Em] go to play it, [A] you go_
And the [C#] third time, I like [D#m] to do the whole thing [Em] octaves.
_ [A] _ _
And then you play it again a third time.
And then _ after that, it changes a little bit.
So I'm going to go ahead and show you how that works.
_ Okay, so you're going to play that part I taught you three times.
[G] And then when you get to your fourth time playing it,
_ basically it's going to be the same, but the transition is going to change.
So instead of it being like on your third time like it was,
[A] _ _ _ it's going [Em] to change [Am] [B] to_
[A] _ _ _
And that [E] is a E, _ _ [G]
G, [A] A, [C] _ C, [B] B, [A] A.
[Em] _ [Am] _ [B] _ [A] _ _
It's kind of [B] played like that.
That last A is [E] kind of a little bit [Am] delayed. _
[B] _ [A] _ _ And now if you wish to play that [Em] octave A at the end, [Am] _ [B] _ [A] _ _ _ you can.
[E] _ _ And then when you get to the song, you're still going to be doing the same thing,
but now you can play it just as [A] you did before,
either octave A or just [Am] plain A [G] _ _ [Am] _
_ [G] _ if you want.
Or the actual way to play it, I'm not very good at this,
but what I [G#m] do to [A] improvise is just to pulsate that A.
[Am] So [B] _ _ [Am] _ _ [G] _ _
I _ think that it adds a little bit of difference
instead of playing [A] the same thing over and over and over.
You kind of, you know, you pulsate that A.
And then instead of switching, when you get to the next part,
_ [F] _ _ _ _ you just play it like that.
So [Am] let me go ahead and play it a little bit for you.
_ [B] _ [Am] _ _
[B] _ _ [F] _ _ [Dm] _ [F] _ _ _
But other than that, it's all the same thing.
And then [D] you go down to the [E] D, up to the E, [A] and back to the A.
And now you'll play that with the pulsating two [Em] times.
And once you get to the end, you'll [C] play that [A] _ transition one more [G] time.
And then after that, honestly, it's just back to how you started before,
just with [Am] the flat-out A.
[G] _ [Am] _ And you'll play [Em] that two times, and then [Am] you'll go back to this,
[A] and you'll play that two times.
And there are other parts in the song.
_ This is the easier parts.
I actually will make a later video
on how to do the more complicated parts,
which I'm actually still in the process of learning.
I have one of them.
The other part is actually kind of hard.
So I'm in the process of doing that.
But other than that, that's the song.
You'll play that, and anybody who's heard the song before
will know exactly what you're playing. _ _
_ I think that's it.
I think I've covered everything. _
Hopefully this video helped.
I noticed there really weren't that many videos for teaching people
how to play this song, and I really like this song.
So I hope it helped.
Thank you.
