How to Play: Firth of Fifth Piano Intro

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video, I dissect the piano intro from "Firth of Fifth" by Genesis, off their 1973 record Selling England by the Pound. I'll go into detail about the many odd time signatures that make up this intro, as well as break down each section into what the left hand and right hand are doing.

Incredible, this deserves way more views than it has.
Thank you! Share it with your friends!
👍
Absolutely the best Firth of Fifth tutorial on TH-cam. Thank you.
Apart from all the wrong notes, you mean...?
@@markrae1317really?
@@jerryclark1903 You truly can't hear them?
You have the best tutorial on Firth of Fifth! Really helped since my site reading is bad.
The way you teach is amazing, it makes it much easier to grasp all the subtleties of this beautiful piece
Well, this young guy obviously is a very schooled musician. He would have to be to copy by ear, transcribe, explain the odd time signatures, not to mention play this so well. The lesson is so good you almost are forced to overlook the beautiful playing. I am a guitarist but play keyboard and will try to learn this piece as I love Genesis. Looks like about one year's work as this ain't Beautiful Dreamer LOL. Masterful job and very generous to provide the PDF transcription. Bravo.
Congratz bro, the best piano tutorial I've ever seen. I would be happy if you make a tutorial for the song " First Circle" by Pat Metheny
Please do the Cinema Show ! One of the best melodires I´ve heard!!!! The finale is outstanding!!! Pure light!!!
I have been working on this piece for more than 2 years, your video will help a lot!!! Thanks for sharing
20 on and off for me 😱😱
I know the feeling. No classical training, so I guess there's no chance in hell I'll ever be able to play this... but I'm not giving up yet!
Amazing! The best Genesis album!!! Genesis with Peter Gabriel is my favorite!
Great video, always nice to see someone tackle this piece!!! As for the complex time signatures, the intro is principally a mixed meter of 13/16 and 15/16. It opens in a 2/4 and goes to 16/16, before returning to 2/4 and then switching in between 13/16 and 15/16 with an occasional return to 2/4 throughout the rest of the intro. 4/4 (outside of the first 16/16 bar which is identical in length to 4/4), 6/8, 7/8 don't appear in the intro, and I'd have to listen again to see if there's a spot that 21/8 might've sneaked past.
Outside of that and a couple tonal errors, this is a phenomenal dissection of one of my favourite piano compositions out there. Very, very well done!!
Nice job, excellent! and thanks for the pdf. I’ll try my best
This is amazing!!! Such talent, well done
I'm shook
Brilliant mate. Tony Banks is a genius and so are you

Hello, for me too it's the best tutorial that I've see thanks a lot keep it up
Excellent job. Thanks.
Thanks!
This is amazing! Please post videos like this one! Hopefully from Genesis!
In 26th bar you should play B flat major not minor (D, not D flat), both hands, in 37th bar the 3rd note is B flat, not D flat, the last note is a D, not a D flat, and in the 39th bar the 2nd note is octave of the 1st E, so whole tone lower than the F# from your transcription.
Thank you for teaching video, this is the first I came across 🙂
U mean the 3rd note in the 37th bar, right? Cuz the 2nd note is an Ab
@@renatolimatonini2259 Thanks for spotting, yes, you are right, and the last note of this (37th) bar is also wrong. (Updated my comment).
Exelente! ....
Y gracias por la partitura
Saludos desde Monterrey México 👍
great!
Thank you so much for the lesson! I started studying it right now, your video is very clear 💜
thanks Ryan greetings from Venezuela
Thanks for sharing @ryan slatko..
I will try it...
Check out my 15 year old grandson, Jonas Heidebrecht’s version, including all the other instruments he plays.
Great job! Can you do take a pebble by ELP please?
You’re my hero man!
Nice job overall. I did catch a few things that I thought were incorrect, though (if you're going for accuracy against the original, anyway).The first major thing is that the octave A you have in the left hand at 5:39 should be an octave F# below it. There are a few other things toward the end that sounded a little different from the original to me as well. You can compare against what I did here, for reference:

Hope this helps. Nice job, though, on what is not an easy thing to transcribe, or to play. 😎👍
Excellent. Question for a comment you made at 33 sec in the video.
Quote : "It was written for... You know!" Well for Who is it written? I did not get you insider's joke. Continue your good work. From Montréal, Québec 🕵️
In context, he was saying it was “piano-friendly” because it was written for “you know” (meaning piano).
Thanks very much.
Fantastic , very clear and easy to learn if you practice 4 to 5 hours a day . Kkkkkkk
Is not only classic music...is a lot of folk rythms...7/8...13/8...arghhhh
Thank you so much, Ryan. Your tutorial is one of the best out there on youtube! Please could you also teach us how to play Undertow by Genesis?
You could try th-cam.com/video/64qsT9vpmes/w-d-xo.html ;)
Luckily I don‘t have to count, as this has been my most-heard piece of piano music for 50 years. It‘s stored in my ROM, so to speak.
Thanks for your tutorial anyway, albeit a few tones sound a bit unfamiliar to me.
Excellent!!! How much time take to learn it? Thanks!
At 7:54 how do you work the fingering so as to not cross fingers between left and right hands on that G#? Tried watching in slow motion, it seems to me that in the last chord of the 23rd measure u play the G# of the left hand using your pinky right. Is that right?
Thank You
Hey mate. Im trying to play this intro. I Just about finished learning The 'A' section, but I am still playing it too slow. Would you advise me to keep working in the A section till it is perfect or should I start the B section already and then try to get them all together up to speed?
If the A section is not coming easy, could be good to just move on for now and come back later. Trust that in time it will come to you, just have to let it marinate!
Minute 4:24 there is a A note on the right hand that should be set as natural after the sharp some step before.... Maybe. Let me know... Thanks
Dont mind my timestamps 8:20
This is incredible. I always loved this song but I fear I can never play it because I have the hand size of a fifth grader... :(
The size of a firth of fifth grader 😊
@@tronlady1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awsome, congrats!
But I think you should name Tony Banks ... not " you know"
