NICE [:
can you do Kelsey by Metro Station?
that would be GREAT
Where can I get the sheet music for this?
musicnotes (dot) com
i think u should make it slower………… Is there anywhere u could get the sheet music omnline without having to pay for it?
That was really confusing. i mean it was good but i was having trouble following it.
another great tutorial
this is my fav song atm!
Haha! Nice! I had trouble following it! XD Could you mabye make it slower? It’s REALLY good though!
hey dena i could be wrong but i think the notes are 4x each
C G E D, soemthing like that not sure about the D, over and over
this song is awesome
nice video
it was kinda fast..and i cudnt follow it that well
but still nice playing
this is AMAZING!!! i love this song and you did an amazing job…but is there anyway you can give me sheet music for free?
this is great! I have been trying to figure this song out! you should make tutorials for the other metro station songs except Kelsey cuz I already know that one :p
please and thank you!
I love you ryan. I impress all my friends playing your stuff, and ive told a lot of them about you. you are my freakin idol, and now you have just become a god with this song. THANK YOU.
I ? THIS !
i love this song, but i agree with some of the others on that it was a little hard to follow, but still the best song ever!!!!
Wow! You’re a genius! Thanks so much! Could you do more from this band please? I LOVE THIS BAND!
it was good but its be better if it was slower
i followed this perfectly, i had to go back a few times, but it was pretty good direction. i don’t know what other people are saying, i think you did an awesome job. keep playing,
Can you please tell me where i could find the sheet music for this???
i lovee this song.
you did a super good job of doing it.
thanks your really good!!
now i can play it
i love metro station!
hey yeah i agree if u could too kelsey by metro station that would be awesome
its a little too fast
Thanks, I love this song, and it’s so fun to play. Do you think you can make a tutorial for Fall for you by secondhand seronade?
where can you get the music thanks for everything
“Ya know…i thought they were the killers too.
You should do Kelsey!
[Also by Metro Station] [:
awesome
i didnt think it was confusing btw
I think that what you do is amazing! you have taught so many people how to play actually good songs! I recommend you to all of my friends who play the piano. You really have major talent because not alot of people can do what you do. Keep up the good work
yeah i agree with everyone else, you should do kelsey. and does anyone know about free sheet music websites?
I love this so much I almost died. thank you so much for making this.
This is a great idea… i wish i had found this site a long time ago. I’ve been playing for 12 years and with your help i just watched it through once and got it down.. over the next few days i’m planning to go through others as well… Thank you so much for this… its awesome
kelsey please! =) we’d all really appreciate it.
you don’t explain it well
Great song and tutorial! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, greatly appreciated. [=
YOUR. TUTORIALS. ROCK.
you make learning songs like this easy!
where can you get free sheet music?
awesome, but hard to follow. i couldnt understand, but i will. thanks!
this was hard to follow, but you should type up the notes so people can refer to it after the video.. cause you need the video to know what to do, but the notes would help a lot of people.
awesome but u need to put up the notes
awesome just.. i couldnt follow. put up the notes?
omg ur really good
wait how many times do u play the beginning part before the next part? and how many times do u play the second part until the last part???
for the comment above the song is love song
OMG This was greatttt!! But its hard for me to follow…
Great tutorial easy to follow, keep the great work up Ryan.
Aweshome tutorial dude. But like already said, the notes…
do you have the sheet music for this?
it would help alot!
You so rock thank you so much!
it was good untill the beginning…
you showed us the notes and everything but it was so fast i couldnt figure out the rhythm.. it frustrated me ALOT.
maybe if you make a new one and make it a bit slower it would be much easyer to follow.
hey would you have the sheet music you could send to me?
thatd be awesome
umm it could of been slower
YOU ROCK
THANKS!!!!!!
YOU SHOUL TRY MAKING A PARAMORE HOW TO.
that was amazing..
just a little confusing..
DANIELLLE where did u find the sheet music for kelsey???
this tutorial was awesome! i’m having a ton of trouble though. i think its because i’m not that great of a piano player. we appreciate all of your tutorials though. they’re awesome!!! thanks a bunch!
hey listen…he’s doing this tutorial for free?? so stop whining that it’s hard to follow peoples jesus…i thought it was great!
thank you soo much. i’ve been really wanting to learn how to play the piano version of shake it, and now i can! thankssss!
you are amazingly talented!
thank you soo much!!! i can actually kinda play it now!
wow that was really good, but i think it needs to be slower. and when you play the same note more than once please say how many times. its much easier. but all and all thank you for doing this. can we also get some Panic! At The Disco? they have really good music.
Hey…i seen all ur other videos and they’re all fantastic, keep up the great work, its great what ur doing for people!!
hey ryan im really good at piano but can i be ur assistant or some thing plzzz cause im as good as u ……………. kinda???
this is kinda confusing ..
i only get the beginning
can you plz plz do control by metro station and wish we were older
that would make my day beacuse i rlly rlly want to learn it
thanks! =]
hey can you maybe do a blink 182 song….
like all the small things or something?
theyre my favorite band and all the tutorials
on youtube suck.
help!
=]
your tutorials inspired me to play the piano again…i stopped playing because i hate reading sheet notes and i’m a visual learner…so i was wondering if you could do christina aguilera’s song “Beautiful” i would really appriciate it if you can do a tutorial on it =D thanks ryan!
hey email me back please.
but hey if you can learn how to play either wishes or stand in the rain by superchick i would be overjoyed. haha.
i know how to play most of your songs.
you’re great thanks ryan!
to the people who wanted kelsey,
i dont know is he has made it or not yet, but that song is REALLY easy,
literaly took me 5 minutes to learn just by studying the music video
if you can understand this, here it is :
FAC X4 CEG X4 ACE X4 GBD X4 ACE X1
and the it restarts and that plays throught the entire song.
and the chorus is :
A C A C A E
A C A G F E D
F E D C <— all that twice
hope that helps ?! if you know the beat its sooo easy trust me
awzooooome
You tutorials are great, but a little confusing for me because I rely on sheet music, not memorization anymore. I was just curious if you had any? I knoticed on one of your youtube videos that it had a spot, but it didn’t have what you were playing . . . . I love a lot of these songs, but they are imposible to find **sobs*.
Fantastic!!!
Can you do it with a psr-6 yamaha?
can you please teach a tutorial we made it by busta rhymes ft. linkin park…? thx a lot…!
can you please make a tutorial for im yours by jason marz
thanks for the free tutorial! it’s really a big help.
ph ya, can you please make a piano tutorial of superhuman by chris brown and keri hilson ? please and thank you.
really good job, but a little too fast. love this song and this band too. i and i think you should do kelsey too.
go slower in the tutorials!!!!!!!!!!
Ryan you’re awesome.
However, I would greatly appreciate it if you could give the sheet music rather then posting a video tutorial, and I am sure many more would too.
The website you give earlier of “musicnotes.com”
you have to pay
is it possible to send me the sheet music?
if so please reply, thank you very much
i can play both hands separately, but not together LOL. nice job!
I love your website!
Your just plain awesome! =]
hey that was awesome.
but that second part was a little fast.
hard
for some reason..
my keyboard it sounds diffferent.
what type of tone thingy would i put it on?
its a casio LK-94 btw:D
idol, great job.
that was awesome
confuseed me but good!
awesome job
that was awesome!!
but could you teach how to play control by metro station!
that would be phenomenal!
dude this is super hard but amazing:)
and i agree can you do kelsey?
great video
THIS IS SOOOO HARD I TRIED 12 TIMES NO LUCK SO HARD
dude u r sooooooooooooooo my absolute HERO!!! i am so excited to learn this i am literally shaking!
hey! this was a great tutorial. i had a bit of trouble following it though. i know some people are saying that its easy and others are saying it was kinda tough, but i think it just depends on how long the person has been playing piano and if they’ve taken lessons. GREAT JOB! keep it up.
woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
wow this site is total awesomenesssssss. omg… thanks for all the help… :))
omg it is so fricken awesome but seriously dude, slow down! can you send me the notes for it please? xx
Now I can shake it!!!!!! thanks
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I’ve always wanted to play this song, and now I can (with lots of practice!). Please keep making tutorials! I have learned many songs from you.
huh
This’s good. Would u like to play mad by neyo. That song rock
That really helped me, Thanx! oh yeah, you should totally do Save Us by Cartel… that would be awesome
do u have the piano sheets? cuz it would be way more easier to see the piano sheets at the same time watching how to uhmm do the keys..
You are amazing <3
ryan……. YOU ARE TH BEST, I <3 U , MAKE MORE VIDS, THEY TOTALLY HELP PEOPLE LEARN COOL SONGS
youre AWSOME!!!
it sound GREATT
You are the best seriously Ive been everywhere online to look for this knda stuff and you are the only one that really makes since! :]
I have some requests:

Bellas Lullaby-Robert Pattison
Dead and Gone-T.I feat. Justin Timberlake
A Drop in the Ocean- Ron Pope
Kelsey- Metro Station
Nine in the Afternoon- Panic! At the Disco
Evertime we touch- Cascada
Sorry long list but if you at least get one of those songs I’ll be sooo happy!! :] thanks!
man i love this tutorial. im at the chorus part already, took me 2 days, with like 4 hours each. um, kinda noob i guess but yeah, im enjoying anyway
awesome!
WHAT HAPPENED you used to go so slow now you’re rushing everything jeez!1
DUDE
You Rock!
This song is awesome, and you’re amazing at these tutorial thingies
THANKYOUUUU
xxxx
Totally awesome you played it perfect:D is there a way to download these so i could put this on my ipod?
hey nice song but not one of your best tutorials… I got lost a few times throughout the tutorials espically the right-hand riff around 8:00, 8:11. Going slower would also be nice. Anyways, love the site and I’ve been hoping for some new songs for a while… Love the other tutorials, just this one isn’t your best.
dude you really need to do high road by fort minor
Great Tutorial!
Now I can Shake It!
Just wondering - what sound do you use on your keyboard? It sounds different then my keyboard and I just have mine on grand piano.
I’ve seen all your tutorials and I have one suggestion, could you do a tutorial on “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton?
Thanks
piano shaked lol
Heyy this helped me alot
but do you have the sheet music ?
Sweet job on the music!!!:) I love this song!!! Your a great pianoist!!! ill keep watching your videos!!!
-Cool!!
Right about 2:05 onwards, that section is really hard to grasp, IMO. Maybe try going slower? The first bit was easy to follow but this has taken almost 3 times the amount of time to learn and I’m still not there.
It doesn’t help that my keyboard stops at C so I don’t have that low B you need for that section >_<
Thanks for the tutorial!!Though it was kinda hard to follow cause it was to fast, if you have any time can you make a tutorial for Forever by Chris Brown??
Hey ryan!
i’m 12 years old and live in the netherlands and i’ve learned a lot of your tutorials ! Thank you very much for doing this!
You’re a great talent! you’re my inspiration for playing piano!
greetz robert
PS. Could you maybe write me back at robertcoenen37@hotmail.com?
Your tutorial is somewhat different from the sheet… It gets kinda hard to follow with you and the sheet.
Sorry for the critque but I had a hard time following after around 2:25 ish.. I didn’t really know how to play, I know the notes, just not when to play them
i tried http://www.musicnotesdotcom it dosent work?
ffff
try http://www.pianolicious.blogspot.com
Nice tutorials! Going to link this one soon
ah bro, that is like soooooo tight but like someone else said you should probably slow it down just a bit.
but besides that it was NICE!
It´s so hard
that would be great:)
can´t you do it just .. a little bit slower?
this is really good…
but little bit slower would be great:)

You buy it at a music store ( the sheet music ), you can be Chinese and take pictures of it with your camera and sell it cheaper to you friends and other people that want it.
I ask myself, how did you ever got this good?
How do you do it? I would like to learn piano, but I can’t read any sheets, just learning the chords.
:$ really good..

it wasnt to fast at all if you play piano some time already
Awesome job, love this song a bit weird much ^^
Hey Ryan,much thanks for the tutorial.I watch some of your video, you did an awsome job.It wasn’t too fast and I’m able to catch up and the most important part is you used the key like the original one.Good job Ryan.
could you make the song just a little bit slower.. i mean focus on like one verse for more than 5 min and keep repeating it lik so i dnt get confused please srry im a slow learner its hard for me 2 keep up
