You've Got a Friend in Me [Part One] - Piano Tutorial

[@RoyHoy]

My family bought a real piano so I decided to learn this. Every 2 days, I just watch this video to learn some parts. So far it's been 6 days and I'm already 2:30 in. I'm taking my time :]

[@ElvemoSkare]

How did it go?

[@RoyHoy]

@@ElvemoSkare It got too hard so I quit. I only know how to play the beginning part. I'll probably try again later. Though, I recently learn how to play Jingle Bells for Christmas.

[@ho-oh511]

@@RoyHoy how is it going

[@SomeGamerNoob]

Almost six years on and this is still the best tutorial for this song, I scoured KZbin for ages before I came across this. Finally learned this part after a few toilsome days, which means sometime in two weeks I should have the whole thing sorted. Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@yuriplisetsky5974]

I'm confused on when to play the chord parts

[@isabellasjazzjourney3624]

Look at you stride with that left hand! And I love how the bass note strikes on the upbeat leading into the next chord! Thanks for teaching us how to play this song! I have the sheet music but I haven't been patient enough to tackle it yet.

[@OfficialGLGaming]

i'm in my last year of piano and I had truble with doing the both hands togheter, but if you keep trying it will be good! i love this song to play!!! thx Christine for learning me this!

[@mattiazp]

awesome tutorial :) I just need like a 100 hours practice!

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

Haha thank you! This is a tough one, so don't get discouraged!! :D You can do it!

[@litosimbahan7672]

Well even if he was joking 100 hours is not long 4 days i think

[@mattiazp]

@@litosimbahan7672 funny this was 9y ago, now I think this is a very playable song and doable in 4 days xD

[@elienaivitor3686]

You are fantastic Christine Laughlin, Greetings from Brazil!

[@mertman1]

My niece ask me to Learn Let It Go....so I did and stumbled across this....Thanks for breaking it down and all the tips. gee to think I used to have to learn by ear thank god for people like you and have a blessed day.

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

I'm so happy to help!! Thanks for the comment!

[@ClarkeMusicMedia]

You are the best! And your playing is flawless! I really appreciate you making this I have a gig and it was a little too much for my ear to handle. Keep using your gift!

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

You are so sweet! Thank you so much, this made my day! Good luck on your gig!! :D

[@ludvigkristensen5199]

Been playing for some years the tutorial was great got the beginning down pretty quick loved it.

[@DavidSigbi]

It took me 2 hours to learn this thank you for the easy tutorial I don't anyone can make a better one

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

Thank you! :D

[@rkew]

Ok...obsessed with learning this now. Excellent tutorial...take it from someone that checks alot of these out. I am determined to learn this..even though piano is new to me ...and ..I can't read music....

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

Yay!! I'm so glad you like it :) I made it so that people don't need to know how to read to play it. I learned this song without being able to read, so YOU CAN DO IT TOO! Good luck :)

[@jamesfitzgerald9674]

Such a good tutorial, the way to teach is so easy to follow, I hope you make some more one day.

[@jack-dy7cx]

What a great tutorial, much better than the big pages

[@Tiffinator7]

good job🙂 I play only by ear and this was perfect to help me pick up the little bits I wasnt hitting😊

[@AlexCrowe-the-pianist]

I may have commented before, but thanks again for making this. Excellent tutorial!

[@SlimEstrada]

Excellent tutorial ❤

[@guybbenno]

[@traian3664]

The best one I could find Would recommend

[@JustAClumsyBoi]

Thanks for uploading the full version of HD piano. Cuz HD piano made it not free.

[@sindollface]

Hi I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you. You've become one of my favorite. I do almost all my learning from KZbin. You're really good at teaching through videos. I was about to comment about rhythm because before I watched this video lots of other songs all sound the same, (specially when I play them) have similar chords. it's the rhythm where I'm off ..any advice.. Im looking to buy at least a 76 key YAMAHA .. get a real keyboard .. can't be all the issues, can it?

[@reivilo1995]

What key is this? thxx

[@sp-uf6tx]

Awesome tutorial Christine! Very clear and easy to follow, way better than the other tutorials I saw out there. Also, this actually sounds good since it's relatively hard compared to the ordinary video tutorial. Looking forward to learn more songs from you (maybe I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc or La Vie en Rose by Edith Piaf :3).

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

Thank you so much! I love hearing things like this, you made my day! I'm so glad it helped you out, and I hope you find something else on my channel that you want to learn. :) Thanks again.

[@conan357]

I just want to ask what keyboard are you using in this video? And Thank You for this wonderful tutorial. It has help a lot! :)

[@Emipie]

I love this great job thank you so much. What a great song I can hear the nostalgia this is a fantastic video I loved learning the song. Stay awesome love it

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

Oh thank you so much!! :D

[@dwpiano853]

Thank you so much. You made it look so easy seeing it broke down like this. Very good teacher ('',) Appreciate the content and keep up the good work. I've subscribed and I'll hit the like button when I've mastered all the parts lol.

[@GBL_RP]

Very thanks!!! From Brazil!

[@jackbarron4097]

thank you so much 😊 great tutorial

[@April_F]

Does anyone have any tips for combining the left hand and the right hand together? I’ve figured out that the left hand = 2 notes/chords on the right hand but I still can’t seem to get it right? 😅

[@susanacoelho5587]

Great help! Thank you. Grande ajuda! Obrigada.

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

Thanks for the comment!! You're welcome, glad to help :D

[@jemuzu0944]

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

[@GnarlzBarkley]

Thanks for this video!

[@emmaormsby6413]

wow your an amazing teacher. keep up the great work

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

Thank you!!

[@danielnava1678]

You are awesome!! Thank u!!

[@BuJiAiyoku]

If you take requests, could you possibly do a tutorial on Zero Communication/Zero Incoming/Zero.Reception (whichever is the correct translation) from "Irisu Syndrome!"?

[@emmaormsby6413]

how long did it take you to combine both hands together as i am finding it a bit difficult?

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

It is a very difficult song! Be patient with yourself :) Go really slowly. Took me a couple days to get it down, but it took me a long time to perfect it to the point where it was seamless. You can do it! :D

[@VenessaNNNNN]

Please explain more about tip #1

[@dariodiego546]

thank you for this tutorial

[@shazenmaire]

i started learning this but my keyboard don't have that lower B haha, need an 88 key piano! fun tutorial btw =D

[@ChristineLaughlinMusic]

oh shoot! haha you can always play an octave higher for just that note :) maybe you can invest in a full keyboard one of these days! :D Thanks for the comment!!

[@shazenmaire]

Christine Laughlin yeah the part at 6:23 was more easier to do for me haha. My mum promised me a full keyboard next month so until then i gotta wait. May i ask what kind of piano u have? and does it have that pedal thing? lol

[@rafamendonca9610]

Christine Laughlin mine too! soooo sad, cause the lower notes are the most beautiful!! Unfortunately, i will have to change it :((((

[@alexandreamorim7774]

Muito obrigado!!! Você me ajudou muito!

[@dariodiego546]

[@collinsmcrae]

Why is it that all of these versions being taught in videos seem considerably more difficult than the way Randy Newman plays it?

[@xoxmariaxox3]

I hate how she doesnt explain the end part of the right hand. As a beginner its hard to understand.
