    Part 6 was quite challenging for me, so here's a tip that helped me out a lot. Start working on each hand individually. Once you've mastered solo handedly, start combining the two. You may be asking yourself: "well its not that easy is it?", well yes and no. All you need to remember is that the left hand is twice as slow as the right hand, thats the key. Now try and start doing both together. One note on the left = Two notes on the right. The second you get that first 2to1 ratio, all you need to do is maintain the tempo. Once I understood the method behind it it clicked and boom. Hope i helped!

  • @r0yce
    @r0yce ปีที่แล้ว +5

    EDIT: I am a complete noob. This is my first piece ever.
    1. My fingers got so stretched in the first few minutes that I was afraid I'd never be able to play it.
    2. I realized I was doing the fingers wrong and that it's entirely doable. Also within the next five minutes I mastered the first part left hand. Will continue later and go to sleep now.
    3. Interestingly I had difficulty in playing the first part today with my thumb and pinky starting to hurt after a while. Looks like I'll need to take it slow and practice way lot more.
    4. Part 3 will take me a lot of time to even do decently. But I know the key is to practice and not to give up.
    5. Next day: I just did the first part of the first part of Part 3 and it came surprisingly easily to me today. I also skipped the 2nd part of the 1st part of Part 3 and did the whole thing together. That was easy. Nice.
    6. Hi, I think you made a mistake during the second chord first part of Part 3 by giving F# instead of G in your left hand during the broken practice part.
    7. Same day, I learned Part 3 in 30-45 minutes. It came surprisingly easily to me. I'll practice it till it become perfect and super fast. Then I will move on to part 4.
    8. I got greedy and learned Part 4 as well. Even though it is supposed to be easy, I am having slight problem syncing the right hand to the left. The rythm from the previous part is messing with the rythm of this part a little. But I think I can finish it. Gonna practice Part 3 and Part 4 together before going to sleep. Tomorrow I will move on to part 5.
    9. Look at that. This is Day 3 and I have already got the hang of the first 4 parts with minimum practice. You're an awesome teacher. But we shouldn't celebrate yet because the next two parts look scary hard. Good luck to me and everybody else.
    10. Part 5 is breaking my fingers. I have a makeshift way of playing Part 5 for now but hopefully I can use my fingers as shown by you and not have to move my hands so much. Part 6 is easy in one hand but when combining both it's being difficult. But I now honestly believe I can finish this in one week
    11. I can't do Part 6. I can't do it. I am losing sync mid way. I can see it but I can't do it. I will need to do really really slow practice.
    12. Day 4. I can do the whole thing at high tempo except for Part 6. I can do part 6 slow and really non legato (Yeah fancy word I learned today) and even if sometimes I can just do Part6 I can't chain the different chords together. There is always a gap between the chords. But....it's coming to me slowly but surely. I still think I can do this within a week.
    13. Also before Part 6 every problem I had or stated here has disappeared. Left hand is always on autopilot I don't even have to think about it and syncing is really easy for the most part (Except Part 6). This song suddenly turned easy. However I will say that this video didn't do that good of a job of creating practice piece for Part 6. I guess you could create a longer drill section or something.
    14. I fooking did it...This is Day 4. It's scuffed. Nowhere near perfect but I played it. I played this thing and I smiled and I knew I did it. This is my first piece ever and i will treasure it forever. Thank you for teaching this. I will remember you forever and I will watch your other videos and learn new pieces. (After I've perfected this one...)

  • @ginnycrafter5446
    @ginnycrafter5446 5 ปีที่แล้ว +729

    Part 6 was really difficult for me so here’s a tip on how I’ve got it: when doing the right hand count 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and. When saying the numbers you play both hands, and when you say the “and’s” just play your right hand. It worked for me so I hope it works for someone else too!
    Edit: Glad to have helped some of y'all! :)))

      For part 6 you should really make a step off this lesson and do some hand independancy training, I guess. Some good are on youtube. MAny good excercises, even. Just train your hands to be independant. Look for "piano hand independance lesson" or smth like that. Ya, offcourse, Part 6 is also a very great hand independancy training. But may be kinda difficult. Video author says right thing whole video long: "Take your time". Don't expect it to come easy. Just repeat till you get it. Don't blame yourself. Time is needed. You will get it eventually. And... at the 6 part point, your LH should be trained already to play without thinking, automatically. Then it will be like much easier. Also... as soon as you master like only first section out of 4 in each part, you are good to go already. First section of each PART takes most of the time to learn...

      Yes it's supposed to be G and not F#. Right after he does it with F#, he continues with G which is the correct note since he's still on the second part of the 4-part pattern with his left hand (Part 1: E, G, B, E / Part 2: D, G, B, D / Part 3: D, F#, B, D / Part 4: D, F#, A, D)

    So glad that you consider this piece to be quite difficult. I've seen it on several lists for beginners. It's very tricky. The left hand is difficult for smaller hands. I always say that there is a big difference between learning a difficult piece and actually learning to play the piano with a strong foundation in technique, sight reading and theory. Love this piece.

    Marvellous tutorial indeed, the step-by-step approach is wonderful for making pieces like this less intimidating. I was able to learn 'River Flows In You' from Werdemuskier's tutorial when I was 9 without any formal piano knowledge whatsoever. That ability to play a song greatly effloresced both my interest and ability in playing the piano. Since then, Thomas' tutorials have acted as a raft, amidst a sea of confusing and fast-paced tutorials, never failing to help me learn beautiful melodies (such as this one which I was able to learn in hardly a week).
    Thank you Werdemuskier, keep going.

      Casey Mouwen This song is a bit advanced for a beginner who has never played piano specially with left hand fingering. You should try easier pieces to develop finger strength. I have been practicing for last 8 months and I find this quite challenging. It can hurt fingers if proper technique is not used. Also, see other videos for better left hand fingering.

      Sen zon You need to stop practicing as soon as you feel pain and continue when pain is gone. It may be due to bad technique. Google piano wrist and arm motion. Try to play with your wrist and arms not just fingers. Record and watch yourself playing. Good luck.

    After persevering for a few weeks I am able to play it !! In the beginning my brain felt like it was imploding but now I can count it on time. I feel like knowing to play this piece perfectly in terms of technique is only the first step ; interpretation and emotions have a lot to do in how it is rendered. In the original one, Yann tiersen has an amazing way of delaying from a few miliseconds some parts of this piece and it makes it extra expressive…
