Hey everyone!
After you play F and D together in the intro, try to play G and D# instead of G and C. I think it sounds more right, and it sounds more like the version in the song (:

Hey Ryan! Im so glad i found this site!! I just taught myself how to play the piano…and im working on some songs…ive got take a bow down…but i really wanna know how 2 play Everyday off of high school musical 2….if u can work on that one and post it that would be so awesome bc i cant find it on youtube!!

Hey Ryan,
it’s amazing how you’re playing! I’m teaching myself because my parents don’t want to pay lessons for me so I have to do it all by myself and everytime when I want to play a song I’m checking on youtube how YOU play it and I’m learning it from you!
Very thank you!
Greetings Elisha

Suggestion! Why don’t you show us the piano keys first somewhere ao newbies like me can follow…. huhuhu… :((
Oh, come on! Something GOOD!!! lol. Not dissing on HSM, but yyyeah. I think you should get some Evanescence on here. Talk about some AMAZING piano work! Maybe you could do “Like You” from them? I LOVE that song, and the piano is very beautiful. If not that…maybe you could do “My Immortal”. An Evanescence classic! =] Anyway, it would just be really cool to get something more my taste on here. LOVE the Rihanna stuff though…and The Fray. <333 Anyway, yeah…if you do this, thanks so much! =] You’re amazing!!!

hi we are praticing on the keyboards and we were looking at the songs you play .they are fantastic and we were hoping if you can write songs that beyonce or rnb singers songs and because we dont understand the chords notes can you please write it in letters.
thank you for having time to read
how about something easier for those who are real beginners ???!!!
Why no music sheet dogs?
U are very good;) can’t you just do it a little bit slowly?:D
i can understand only intro but the rest is not understandable….please can you remake this tutorial i’m italian!!!!! pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee
Hey this tuorial is kick ass…your really talented =D got a bit lost with the improvising part but im sure ill work it out….thanks heaps!
teachimng to fast
I don’t get it it is too fast…
omfg. this is not for beginners. your tutorials are WAY too hard! i suggest you slow it down and keep repeating so we all can get it. it’s good that you can play well, but some people can’t. and that’s misfortunate.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ouch it’s very fast, can you make it slow?
wow….this is so nice of you!
but could you pls send me the sheets? i mean the letters..like: CGC FCFA….because i can’t keep up with this video….
Nice video thanks a lot. I was wondering if you could do a tutorial about the following song : “Desde mi cielo” by “Mago de Oz” I’ve been looking for it but nobody has done one
cool ,thanks for tour help, can you give tutorials for “you are the music in me” difficulty to play it (high scool musical 2) greats thanks in advance
thxs for showing me im getting the hang of it !!!!!
hay sometime soon can we talk or somthing???
broclieo is right its hard wtf and omfg ah
the improvising bit what easiest for me, great tutorial as always. I wish you put more free ones up.
may i have some request? just the song “this is me” by demi lovato, the acoustic one, i’m looking forward to it! thanks! ur too great! more power!

hi, i was wondering if there was anyway you could try to make a tutorial on the song ’studying politics’ by Emery.. the acoustic version of course. the whole thing is piano, and its a beatiful song on the piano to. i’VE been trying to learn it for soo long but noone knows how to play it on youtube, well so far that i’VE seen, and thought you could try to learn it, cause well your just amazing on piano haha.
thx, jessie
GREAT!
i will play it in our school. wish me luck.
Ryan, good job! thanks a lot!!
more power!
the last parts after the choru you didnt really show us how to play it …it was quitye confusing
you only showed how to play half of the chorus.. you got to the part where it was ” were soarin’, flyin’, there’s not a star in heaven that we can’t reach” and then stopped!! how do you play the second part?? the part that goes like “if we’re tryin’, yea we’re breaking free” could you please make another video or something to explain that? because looking at your comments, I’m not the only one confused about this!
thanks!
hey Ryan awesome tutorial but one thing can you put a tutorial on mulan i’ll make a man out of you that’ll be great thanks
