    yes! thank you Ryan! You always pull through. If you feel that you need to make another Killers tutorial I woudn´t hate you for making say… Romeo and Juliet :D (Killers or Dire Straits, both are fine).

    Cheers!

    bye

  10. Zach June 12th, 2008 at 1:10 pm

  17. Austin June 29th, 2008 at 7:55 pm

    Thanks for teaching and putting up these tutorials. I never liked playing classical music from my teachers, but you have made it enjoyable for me again! Thanks for everything now, and thank you for teaching the bases to all these songs. I’ve learned Pictures of You, Apologize, Take a Bow, and No One from you. I regret dropping piano after playing for four years so all of you thinking about quitting, don’t! I am now learning how to play the full song of Apologize and such so yeah, again thanks so much!

  18. Tijmen June 30th, 2008 at 1:31 pm

    Thanks a lot! It’s a great tutorial, and I learned to play it in no time, thanks again!

  21. Aaron July 24th, 2008 at 1:09 pm

    When We Were Young (Abbey Road Version) would definitely be a great next song for you to do

  22. Anonymous July 24th, 2008 at 4:04 pm

    btw abbey road does not mean on piano. its referring to a piano recording the klillers did of sam’s town at an abbey road studio

  23. trisha July 28th, 2008 at 2:48 am

    Awesome, thanks! My favorite band too.

  24. Lique August 6th, 2008 at 9:02 am

  38. il_grillo October 12th, 2008 at 1:12 pm

    please let us learn how to play the abbey road version of when you were young too!

  39. ILL BILL October 14th, 2008 at 8:44 am

    Also jetzt hör mal zu du alter Hartgeldstricher:
    Ich hab jedesmal nach deinen Tutorials fürchterliche Kopfschmerzen, weil du immer so viel verpeilst und es manchmal auch unvollständig erklärst bzw. die Sachen die leicht sind erklärst du ausführlich und die die schwer sind sehr prägnant, was hier keinesfalls positiv gemeint sein soll dude. Mir gehen auch diese ganzen Kommentare auf den Sack, du wärst ja so awesome, amazing etc. das nervt unheimlich. Du bist jetzt kein ausnahmetalent sondern nimmst dir einfach die Zeit für sowas vielleicht bist du ja arbeitslos.Ich weiss nicht was deine Beweggründe sind so eine Seite zu machen vielleicht um dich zu profilieren. Kein Plan viel Geld wirst du damit wahrscheinlich nicht machen.
    Und noch etwas :
    Ich mache mehr dreier als Dirk Nowitzki, deine kleine ist wie ein Mp3 sie lies sich einfach auf meinen Stick ziehn.
    Trotz alledem möchte ich mich bei dir bedanken, da du mich zum Klavierspielen motiviert hast, obschon wenn man besser sein will man doch Noten lesen lernen muss, um anspruchsvoller Lieder zu spielen, da diese hier ja wenn wir ehrlich sind total einfach zu lernen sind.
    In diesem Sinne…mein Schwanz ist wie Herr der Ringe er hat überlänge dude.
    great job awesome

  40. Sara October 15th, 2008 at 12:33 pm

    …absolutely amazing!

    thankyou so much, this is exactly what i was looking for (:

  43. Craig November 26th, 2008 at 12:36 pm

    Hello ryan, two points, why does my son get tought by you over me! its diabollical, as i am a well respected piano teacher,my son further achknowlodged me and insulted my methods of teaching he says my progressive sheet music baffles his intelect but my obligations stand strict but on the contary he seems to be playing ‘pop’ songs and sounding pretty good so thanks.

    regards
    craig

  44. Pixi December 2nd, 2008 at 8:40 pm

    this is awesome! i’ve been digging for Sam’s Town arrangements for my recital for about a month now with no luck.

    i realize you must be busy, but would any of you object to helping me in writing the vocal piece?

  45. Christine December 26th, 2008 at 6:06 pm

    Wow… this is amazing… i haven’t tried playin the piano in about 20 years, but saw this video and decided to try playing this song while I was at my parent’s place for Christmas. Your step by step instruction was amazing, and I’ve been working at this straight for the last two days. My entire family is amazed, and were like ‘wow, we never even knew you played piano!’
    Thanks again and can’t wait to see what else you post up!

  46. Sam’s Town | shatteredBlog January 3rd, 2009 at 10:23 pm

    [...] to this wonderful Sam’s Town tutorial, I was finally able to figure out my favorite part of Sam’s [...]

  47. starmaker January 10th, 2009 at 8:34 am

    hey,
    i ve been looking for this song for so long and because i’m not an experienced player (played 1 year when i was 11) it was really nice to get a step by step instruction. i already invested 4 hours and i got almost half of it.
    thank you very much for this awesome piece of music.

  48. FishinaBowl January 26th, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    Thanks so much for these tutorials! Me and my friend are playing this at some little coffeehouse show and me my friend and the rest of my band are playing Mr. Brightside and more at a summer-ish gig. All thanks to me learning them which is thanks to you!

  49. jo February 11th, 2009 at 8:53 am

    please upload more vids!

  50. julezos February 13th, 2009 at 7:08 pm

    man thanx heaps, last week i was stuck playin crappy songs and i couldn’t find sheet music for a good song to play for my solo piano performance but this is the best and i’ve got to say… THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  51. Nick February 16th, 2009 at 3:03 pm

    thanks - but a few thoughts: you may want to use chord names, you may want to use terms like “intro” “verse” “chorus” etc so we can tell which part is which…the video is just too jumpy and all over the place. it sounds great and the notes all seem right but i need more visuals…sheet music, chord names, etc.

  52. awhoawd February 18th, 2009 at 2:23 pm

    hey this is so cool thank you so much …. i’m playing it for my music practical exma ….. in your face music teacher! ha ha. what other killers songs can you do??? :)

  53. Bethan March 1st, 2009 at 3:50 pm

    Thank you soooo much!! I looked everywhere for this and now I’ve found you and this website it’s helped me lots! Is there any possibility you could do ‘A Dustland Fairytale’ at some point?

  54. iReNe March 27th, 2009 at 5:02 am

    Amazing! I was looking for this all over the internet and yours have such a big quality!! Thank you so much!!

  55. John April 10th, 2009 at 7:42 am

    I wish your theory knowledge was better. Also you skip chords as if it was common knowedge and just call them ‘here’. All your A flats should be G sharps.

  56. Emil from Sweden April 24th, 2009 at 4:35 pm

    You have teached me this song successfully to 100%. Thanks! You’re the man!

  57. Charlie April 26th, 2009 at 12:16 pm

    You play well, but teach awfully. For a beginner learning the ropes and wanting to learn a great song you’re moving far too fast!

  58. Bonnie Spain May 2nd, 2009 at 1:06 am

    Thanks for this. I was able to learn it really easily. I’m not the best with notation, so this really helped me out. Thanks a heap.
    I’m assuming you use the sustain pedal? I’m not quite sure,
    but it sounds a lot better with it.

  59. Natalie May 5th, 2009 at 5:33 pm

    zomg (zombies on my garage) I will watch this no matter how long it takes me to learn it!!!!!! I am so determined to learn this, it’s my favorite song by them on piano and i’ve been waiting for a tutorial I don’t have to pay for! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!

  60. Annette May 19th, 2009 at 12:44 pm

    I am a self-taught pianist and I am quite young and found this extremely easy to follow. I have only been playing for about nine months but learned this in a bout a day.

  61. Joshua May 21st, 2009 at 6:14 pm

    Your Grate so im asking u to do A Dustland Fairytale

  62. Hunter May 23rd, 2009 at 8:38 pm

  63. Madison May 31st, 2009 at 11:15 pm

    Thanks

  83. Kin October 2nd, 2009 at 12:12 pm

    I would love it if you could do a tutorial of When You Were Young, Abbey Road version. Alot of people are also asking for that. Thanks a bunch.

  84. erika November 4th, 2009 at 1:39 pm

    Beautiful. I love to get my hands on sheet music as well but I’m kind of weird about how I learn songs on piano…I don’t read music well so this is helpful.

    Also, its nice to hear just the piano part of the song without the additional instruments that eventually come in. I knew this was a beautiful song but I didn’t realize how beautiful it was until now.

    Thanks!

  85. Anonymous November 14th, 2009 at 12:25 pm

    awesome song but you kept skiping notes and not telling what they were!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! frustrating

  86. pianomanº November 28th, 2009 at 7:19 pm

    Hey I was wondering if you could post the sheet music? I want to play this song for my piano class final but I cannot find the sheet music.

  105. chris April 13th, 2011 at 5:30 am

    You were a member of the great individuals of this planet that give education to people for free.

    just like khanacademy.org

    Then you started charging money with playpianoking.com and I can’t even finish this song because the video won’t play past 17min.

    I’ve been working for weeks on this song and now I’m to pay you so I can finish it. Shame on you for misleading me with ‘freepianotutorials.com’

    shame on you.

  106. aj April 24th, 2011 at 7:54 pm

    this is great man!!! thanks alot for sharing!!

  107. Arcsis December 28th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
