Amy Lee: How to play "Your Star" by Evanescence

[@craigziegler7600]

Can we get a album that's just Amy singing and playing the piano and nothing else. Her voice sounds so amazing like this

[@valleriplumley5563]

I agreeeee

[@Beani100]

AGREED!

[@NinjaSpecter]

Well, we can kind of make one ourselves with the acoustic performances she’s done though the years plus piano songs like Hello, The Last Song I’m Wasting On You, Even In Death (2016), Speak To Me, It’s A Fire and others. But yeah, I’d love a solo album of hers with just her piano and heavenly vocals.

[@svrzainim93]

I think Synthesis is that album

[@alexbarnett6488]

@@svrzainim93 no it isn’t

[@BonesofStarlight]

She has absolutely no need for Autotune- her voice is amazing, her talent is amazing, her hard work and dedication is amazing, I bet she's an amazing mother--- we need more people like her in the universe!

[@felixmarques]

Autotune is not a crutch-it is regularly used for aesthetic purposes by singers who do know how to sing. Hell, singing live with it so it produces the desired timbre also requires some learning and skill.

[@TampaJohn]

You can tell, just by the “Speak To Me” video, just how amazing a mother she is.

[@mandang3545]

DEFINITELY NEED MORE OF THIS PLEASE! DO A SERIES, A WEEKLY TEACHING COURSE FEATURING AMY LEE!

[@gothbirdie]

Man Dang that would be cool but she has a lot to so lately so she might not have enough time to sit and film something

[@FrejaHirst]

great idea

[@manalcali153]

Both her speaking voice and singing voice sound mesmerizing. 😻 She's a musician in her own category.

[@evaniky91]

i want Hi-Lo!!!! :D

[@_FearNoEvil]

I love how Amy infuses classically inspired piano into her music. The parts are so beautiful and actually pretty intricate. She is a great musician.

[@kristinemissy]

This is definitely Amy’s favorite song to play. She’s always enjoying herself whenever she performs it.

[@LifeIsGoodYouShouldGetOne]

it’s one of the best songs ever

[@robertsen7268]

She's unbelievable professional, the best female singer in my opinion. And the way she plays the piano! It looks as if it was so easy but it's definitely not. Amy deserves the respect of us all.

[@PaolaBarreto]

OMG OMG AMY LEE TEACHING US HER SONGS OMG OMG

[@RainySkies-05]

Jeez get a damn grip 🙄

[@Klayster]

"The louder you play it, the cooler you sound." :-p Yes, the louder you play it, with the right notes, the cooler you sound. Amy just freakin' rocks. :-)

[@garydixon6315]

You can tell she's a classically trained pianist by her arpeggios! Such a beautiful piano arrangement 🙂🙂

[@conticontutti]

"Told you I was a nerd"

Cuz its impossible to learn lol

[@TampaJohn]

Haters gonna hate. They like to spread their misery.

@@AnnetteDyan totally not true

[@imaginarysoul3437]

Floor's fans would hate this and say Amy Lee is not a talented musician 🤡

[@RainySkies-05]

Becuz they simply don't like it. Are you that slow?

[@enigmared4290]

Now i really want a full version of your star acoustic piano ):

[@carmenxena]

Years of opera and classical piano lessons really paid off. Go girl!!!!

[@theseeker2586]

She never studied opera.

[@DM-rc4yu]

@@theseeker2586 Wow, no need to bring facts into this, man.

[@followerofChrist26]

Seriously the best role model in music! And great attitude and personality.

[@CarlosReyes-hx3xk]

She should do a Master Class

[@rocknroller1986]

I'd pay for her to teach me Piano in a second.

[@arifabeh-afarin6748]

rocknroller1986 Me too!

[@celiaatkinson9621]

She was teaching piano in between the open door and the self titled release.

[@hadeanseal]

I think if she did, it’d have to be vocal or performance-related. I don’t actually know the TRUE extent of her piano ability, but from every single thing I’ve heard, she’s very good but not a maestro.

[@bleakm1343]

@@hadeanseal she was classically trained in piano way back when, but I don’t think she developed enough. She knows how to play it really really well though. More than 26 years playing it.

[@Snowwhitequeen23]

I remember being 15 and being so into this song and thinking it was the most brilliant thing ever cuz so much is happening musically! It's one of my top EV songs and my favorite live!!! One day I shall learn how to play hopefully

[@totallyanonymousbish9599]

Amelia Martinez It's not thaaaat hard actually.

[@SarahJames-gv2td]

It really is a musical masterpiece!

[@stefanosm8223]

I love her passion Their passion to be correct!!!

Can’t anybody change that stupid fact that the most talented singer is being that underrated and covered from the eyes -_-

Amy, teach more Ev's songs ❤

[@TampaJohn]

This shows why she has one of the best voices in the world. She effortlessly is flawless

Could watch her all day playing and singing, its so beautiful 🥺🥺

[@danielevok23]

She's amazing 😍

[@lenajones6117]

So beautiful... i'm in heaven right now. When you listen that, when you listen, her, it's just pure emotions but also a certain peace. I don't know how to explain it, but it's a very strong feeling, really powerful. She's one of my favorites queens! 😍

[@alymichelle20]

Your Star is one of my favorites because of the hardcore shredding on the piano and how intense everything sounds at the end of the song😍😍😍

[@mutuallydestructive7797]

Amy is the whole world for me and the only one I love like no other , my queen and idol and my forever love 😘

[@AdnaMelan]

Amy Lee is one of the reasons why I play the piano (and not guitar) currently. And the biggest influence in me as a singer and composer ❤

[@florf2469]

My heart just melts when she starts singing 0:42 what a beautiful human and soul. and oooh so talentedddd

Bojana Ivastanin why you gotta come to a Ev video and be an asshole? Just don't watch, buy their albuns or go to concerts. The fans are always going to think she is a good singer no matter whay

[@MsKaletha1]

I've met Amy several times and I will tell you the best moment was experiencing the business side of the The Great Amy Lee during 'Synthesis' and the ever so sweet ole choir nerd... Coming from another choir nerd🤘

[@EricRubenTV]

I understood nothing bit this is amazing

[@jamiesheasby3572]

My son started playing piano 6 months ago and exclusively wanted to learn Evanescence songs, specifically Far From Heaven. It's incredible how far he's come in his playing in that short period of time, I credit that to his youth but also the insane complexity of the song he's learning. Amy writes incredible music and it's caused him to have to really push himself past the basics and get into the weeds of what it means to be a real musician.

[@paulawilliamson637]

Amy you are the best. Your talent is so encompassing & the gorgeous way you reveal it ton us fans is beautiful. You are truly amazing inside & out. You have inspired me to start writing music again & gave me the guts to sing higher than I ever thought I could. Your originality & class give women young & old the joy to realize a clear, decisive, dream could just come true.

[@fecsf9610]

She HAS TO make a video teaching My Heart Is Broken

Wow! I wanted a vid like this when I was a teenager. I played it by ear, but now I know all the parts better. The organ part that she does not play anymore is also cool and she changed it a bit in this vid, but well, the rest is pretty clear. Thanks to the person who uploaded this. One of my fav songs ever

[@totallyanonymousbish9599]

If 02:00 is too hard to understand for some: To get the right grib you simply play the G one octive higher, and instead with your thumb, you play it with your pinky❤

[@MouthOfTheZouth]

Absolutely love this , but no where near as much as I love your voice. Please, please release a version of the full song of you singing it just like that like for fun or whatever. Sort of how you played a few songs and uploaded them before your fall tour in 2016. Love you Amy! :)

[@facundoramos1010]

creo que es la primera artista que veo haciendo tutoriales de sus propios temas y creo q ahora la amo mas aun.

[@BeatGoat]

Definitely a fascinating video, but it won't be particularly helpful for people who don't know anything about music theory. A top-down view of the keys would be a huge plus.

[@mikestempo9779]

BeatGoat I don't care. I can't play a lick, my son who can play instruments by ear did a presentable follow on our piano on Christmas. I just like to watch her mannerisms, amazing sense of humor, and charisma. How can you resist? She's so cute I can't stand it!

[@BeatGoat]

My comment was referring to people who would see "How to play" in the title and expect to find some sort of a tutorial here. :) It's a fun video, though.

[@courtnrysalamone7677]

Yeah, that would have been super cool, i play by ear anyway but it would be helpful to alot of people

[@MrPantherBH1]

I can play a little. But this is in no way a "how to play" video

[@fripp2002]

She is amazing!! - So lucky to have met her and the band :)

[@melbourneleogibbsgibson...1653]

"I MISS YOU AMY MY GIRL MY QUEEN OF ROCK MUSIC MISSES DELIGHTFUL MY QUEEN LEE."

[@MicheleG1989_]

She should use her head voice more often - it's beautiful and she doesn't need to scream.

[@MicheleG1989_]

TERRY sure, but she doesn't know how to do it properly

[@mimi8808]

Michele G that isn't going to change the fact that she does it. You commenting on it won't make Amy get up tomorrow and go "wow I can't do this properly better do it another way". When will Evfans drop this subject? It's beating a super dead horse

[@MicheleG1989_]

Agata Santos evanescence fans are so defensive. I just noted that she has a lovely head voice, period. All the rest is defensive added bullshit.

[@d.arcness]

Actually she doesn't scream, the reason that it apears to us that she screams is because her type of voice is dramatic mezzo soprano, wich mens she can hit perfectly high notes, but no so fast as mezzo sopranos do, that's why always apears that she is screaming, when she is just controlling her vocal cords to reach those notes fasters, and that doesn't mean she's screaming nor forcing her vocal cords to hurting point, otherwise she would be mute after all this years of band

[@feridedogan7653]

Richard D'Arcon shes not a dramatic mezzo. Her voice is more like lyric. Dramatic mezzos have much more power in teir voices. Amys voice is strong but not powerful like a dramatic voice . Amy is a lyric mezzo who push her voice sometimes too much.her voice is pretty soft naturally

[@ZellDJohore]

On the left hand it's just octaves of C A A# C During this play octaves of the same notes on the right hand but alternate your thumb and pinky on each octave. Second part is the same thing on the left hand but this time on the right you just alternate your thumb and pinky on the G octave.
