How to play Jon Schmidt's "All of Me"

[@adindarusdii]

HUENINGKAI TXT JUST DO THIS PIANO THAT PEOPLE CAN'T DO IT WOW!!

[@ejayjohnny5292]

Lol yeah he was playing it a lul faster than the original that’s why he messed up and just stopped . But he most likely can play the whole thing

[@banana_but_pronounced_bananya]

I've spent a whole year watching this video among a few others trying to learn how to play and I finally got most of it down. Now I just need practice, practice and practice. Knowing how to read notes would've help me a ton.

[@jn278]

you DO NOT know how to read notes and you CAN play piano???@@ how the hell??? fully respect from me!!!

[@miguel-fg]

Anh Tuan It is quite easy actually, lots of guys I know, myself included, do this.

[@collinhicks37]

Yeah, but I'm sure knowing how to read the notes would help a ton, I only know how to play "Imagine" by John Lennon, "Für Elise" by Ludwig von Beethoven, and "In Dreams" by Howard Shore

[@minaly22]

Hi guys, I cannot read notes, yet I have a better sense of music than most of my friends... Never done a wrong note when I sing, EVER. Its a pain when trying to learn through notes when some very tricky voices, songs and lyrics have difficult tempo and beats...

[@jn278]

but knowing how to read notes would make your lives ^ wayyy eassier! and it's not a difficult thing to learn! you all can play without knowing how to read notes, now that you know, imagine all the possibilities!!! Gluck to you all!

[@AngelPuppetslayer]

It took me 2 days to memorize up to 1:49, and now I can play it fairly decently after a week. It helps that I listen to this and the original close to 24/7 apart from sleeping/school(and then since I've memorized the entire melody, I hum it in my head 24/7 at school too) so I basically know exactly how it should sound like :D Thank you for this.

[@gartyqam]

ik I'm a bit late but can you tell me how long u have been learning piano?

[@becca2845]

@@vekashs7770 most professionals have been playing their whole lives. I've been playing for 8 years and I'm nowhere near this level. It'll take me a while to learn this song.

[@Ariadne4]

@@gartyqam it doesn't matter how long you've been learning piano. I've watched another cover by a person who learned the piano for only 1 year and still managed to play the whole piece. Piano is a fundamental instrument, so it's easier to learn how to play on it compared to other instruments. You just need a lot of patience and practice:)

[@gartyqam]

I learned 1 minute and 20 seconds of this in the past two days! I say it's pretty easy to learn, but extremely hard to play. :/

I absolutely love when the octaves come in!!! Thanks so much!

[@diamondvortexgaming6859]

all i can do is envy the people who can play this (((((

[@ashnikfield4224]

SAME! I hope we can play it someday!I memorized up to :11, but I hope I can do more later:)

[@ashnikfield4224]

I learned all of it after two months! You should try! Its super easy because its all black notes except for 2 white ones (c and f) its actually pretty easy now that I practice it at home and in lessons:)

[@JJRicks]

@@ashnikfield4224 me too :D

[@ashnikfield4224]

@JJRicks Studios did you memorize this too? If so did you put a cover? You can check out my newest cover on my channel if you want! I’m obsessed with this song!

[@agl4044]

Gotta practice

[@ashnikfield4224]

This inspired me to print the sheet music! I learned it in two months! I memorized it and now im gonna see if I can play it for the talent show at our school! Thx for the video! I wanted to learn it with just this, but then I found that the music was very easy to read!

[@vlad_covers]

Thank you so much for the video and a midi file! I'm learning the composition by this video (as many of other people) 🙏🏼

[@mattgross6983]

Learned over half of it so far. Thanks!

[@ashnikfield4224]

Because of this, I learned it a bit, printed the sheet music, and am now playing this for the talent show-!!!

[@ashnikfield4224]

Thx so much! This is my most favorite piano guys song ever! I've only learned up to 0:11, but I will learn more along the way because of you! I'm so happy that you made this

[@akimsharbor5909]

Jon schmidt's all of me is my favorite music. LOVE your video

[@theRoxII]

I'm nearly at the end! I have to practice the middle part and i've done the song! Thank u very much!!

[@KwJake]

just finished this song. Feels so good.

[@kiyoshimo]

not really familiar with western media and was asked to play this at a wedding. thanks for this, really helps to not have to go in blind sided. i know i'll have this on repeat for a while.

[@glassdepot]

Agreed KwJake. What a fun song to play. Thanks for posting this slow version. I found this very helpful in concert with the sheet music purchased from the pianoguys website. Great song Jon !!!

[@thefanofspam]

: O Much more complex than I thought.

[@thwack318]

Many have said the slow version should be slower, but you're the first to say the fast version should be faster. So thanks. :) Also, full speed is subjective. It should only be played as fast as it can be played cleanly and steadily. But for the sake of this video, full speed is the tempo marked on the sheet music.

[@bethebest8252]

what a beautiful music it is.

[@ashnikfield4224]

I can play most of this! I got the sheet music but I started with your video! Tux for doing this!

[@ashnikfield4224]

*Thx

[@InspiredByYouTub]

Wow! Thanks, just what I was looking for! Greatly appreciated!

[@lillyoneil1078]

iv been learning this song via your video and thepanospecialist video and mixing my favorite parts :D your really good

[@DanChanPiano]

Sincere thanks for putting up this video. Just what I needed.

[@MrBouyancy]

6:05 full speed Thx for slow version

[@vlad_covers]

This video is really helpful!

[@seanssyw1390]

its better to learn how to sight read..this might be slightly confusing when learning trough this way.. just my opinion. =)

[@thwack318]

+sean ssyw I agree. But this does help some who would find note reading a complete road block, and I don't want to deny them the pleasure of playing some good Jon Schmidt. :)

[@seanssyw1390]

True..haha

[@SasukeUchiha-qz6bs]

i play by ear

[@RaeCarson]

I'm a person who can both sight-read and learn by ear. In fact, I became so over-trained with learning sight reading for a number of years, I kind of forgot the way I played for the first 10 or so years of my life was by listening and picking out the things I heard. After becoming an amateur sound engineer and learning how to use loops and sound-generating platforms, it was the perfect way to marry both of those skill sets. Notes on a page can be gruellingly difficult to visualize whilst playing on a piano layout -- especially regarding songs with a tempo above 140 BPM. Therefore....I love things like this that bridge the gap.

[@rigelacosta8120]

you can just create your own music sheet from here

[@iGuillairmo]

and probably some hours and patience to learn it ! Thx for this cool answer ;)

[@miwi1625]

My music teacher said he would give me £200 if I learn and perform this by the end of s1. Wish me luck.

[@chrismichaud5906]

Good luck

[@dsloanhood]

good luck, please tell us how it went 🤍

[@CoolKevin5]

I learned this song a while back, and I have one piece of advice: if you can't read music, learn how to. This is infinitely easier by reading it. I cant even imagine how long it would take to learn by watching videos. Also, the song has some complex rhythms. Sheet music guides you right through them, but you can't get the full picture by watching this. Good luck! :)

[@thomasgorman6513]

True, but this can give you a better sense of where to put emphasis and stuff like that. I've gotten help for complicated rhythms by watching these things. But that's probably me just being weird.

[@reevrob]

+Zephyr Your advice isn't applicable to all and definitely not infinitely easier. Some of us can read notes and play widow, and watching this makes it faster to learn.

[@thwack318]

Feel free to play it at any speed you like. Just don't make mistakes. :)

[@Phamtrinh1210]

At first "Meh. Easyyy!" Then 6:05 "...Ok I prefer playing Tap Tap"

[@thwack318]

@Pookkeey1995 I created this MIDI myself, but Jon Schmidt has his own available for download from his site now, too.

[@JustCameronT]

If I was more patient I could learn this song... I get frustrated when it doesn't sound right so it makes me want to quit... :/

[@harryjones100]

4 years on, did you manage to learn it?

[@JustCameronT]

@@harryjones100 I actually did quit 😂 I may try again someday but I'm not as much a music performer as I am a music creator so I'm doing what I love to do and maybe someday I'll learn to tackle the harder piano pieces for fun :)

[@iamDiegoVgs]

If you ever complete it one day, please share it here, we'll go like your video

[@dickyyy116]

Should go do it bro. I’m starting now and I don’t play piano ;) there’s a few good tutorials out there

[@tamiboy123]

I don't really play piano but seeing this.......maybe i'll give it a shot. haha. thanks for this great vid!

[@thomasneidenmark1042]

Have you watched his own version on ThePianoGuys channel? You'll see there that he uses his whole arm for that perticular part. That's one of the reasons why it's called "All of Me" according to himself

[@yensteel]

@wowmoviescores I agree, a slower version can definitely help us a lot. I'm truly amazed that this MIDI sounds as good as that of from the original artist's CD: it's flawless, natural, and enjoyable to listen to. Must have taken a lot of work to produce this.

[@elegantwizard9670]

The 86 dislikes are people who can not play XD

[@thekjub]

thx for sharing midi you are amazing ;) all the best

[@kangbyungs]

Lovely variation at 7:42 and 8:57

[@terrivel11]

It's actually a lot simpler than it seems, just MAKE SURE you follow the fingerings as written in the music. By that I mean this: It seemed to me like it was alternating LRLRLRL throughout the part when I watched the video, but it's actually mostly left hand. Use your thumb for the bottom notes of the chord, and practice slowly to learn the alternation. RRLRR RLRRLRR, RRRLRR etc. Left isn't used much at all.

[@giuseppeangellotti9302]

God bless for doing this video!;)

[@lukesuperflyjones]

Haha I might someday try this! THANKS!!

[@studiosingyourstyle]

full speed…oh Shite! I was just getting this down. ahhhh

[@muhammadfahmi3654]

Beautifull song. I realize that this song use black tooth more often than the white one.

[@christian2060]

I can play this because I bought the sheet music, the sheet music is 10x more complicated. This version plays single notes instead of chords and less octaves but it is good for some parts which are difficult. Just my opinion

[@rtyufghv]

great tutorial :x

[@thwack318]

I was wondering how one could buy a digital piano that isn't electric... then I realized ALL pianos are digital. Think about it. What part of your body do you use to play it? (Jon Schmidt, put your hand down.)

[@HugoSellerberg]

In fact there are some diffrent versions, the one that Jon has uploaded is not exactly the same as the original sheets, which are more like this version.

[@Jiminilibillybob]

Because writing the whole link is too mainstream :D Gj btw !

[@thwack318]

I'd suggest downloading Jon's official sheet music from his site. That's what I learned from. The only intentional difference in my "version" is in 2 measures near the ending, but you can easily see what I did there in this video (around 5:44).

[@jonmulder]

Thank you very much! But you have to touch the low Gb on the same time as the second chord in the first measure, not already at the beginning. And don't tap the high Gb again on the first measure.

[@pazzo-me5qu]

wow!

[@thwack318]

@xThexPianoxBoyx and Jon even has a note reading method that can help!

[@miketheninja1]

Do you guys find this isn't identical to the original? I find certain parts in this version are more complicated than when Jon plays it.

[@WizKhalifornia]

Thk you very much very nice job

[@SavvasCube]

if there was a piano hero game and this song was in it...no one would ever play it!

[@TShaman1]

Indeed there are some different versions :) Jon did add a few notes here and there on his channel. But yeah, this is close to the sheets, but however not exact :P Not trying to offend you or anything, just saying

[@vifalol8315]

Half speed is created but full speed is just playing the video of half speed because Jon Schmidt is playing that's y there is a difference for the paddle

[@lovethailandforever]

Thank you, i was just wondering it my note is really the original one that's it : )

[@TheWassBoss]

Wow nice...

[@MCY0104]

the same amount, but you also need your forearms and usage of your thumb on two notes at once

[@TomivanNiftrik]

nice

[@thwack318]

@WheresWaldo51 I don't see any B-flat octaves... Do you mean the C-flat at measure 5? I play that as written in Jon's PDF. But on the very first note I do play a lower G-flat than written because I think it sounds better and more like his MP3.

[@TomivanNiftrik]

best part form 0:00 to 0:14

[@Purepkingdude]

Challenge accepted.I'm going to do this but after i learn the Coldplay - Clocks Adrian Lee version :D

[@thwack318]

I put a link in the description.

[@stephencaudle1766]

I have everything up to 0:05 memorized

[@thwack318]

Don't stop there! 😉

[@justinjohnson4452]

You should do can’t help falling in love in synthesia

[@DarknessEssense]

This is the speed that it is meant to be played as. The same speed as the video of schmidt playing it himself. The other covers are too fast.

[@thwack318]

Request sent. :) Thanks!

[@thwack318]

@MindOverMattur Hmm, according to archive.org it was taken down within the past year.

[@lasmith32]

It plays at half speed first, then at 6:05, it goes to full speed.

[@KaionKleever]

Is there any chance that you share the .midi you created with everyone ? It will be so nice from you so that we will be able to enjoy ourselve the song too. Thank you

[@MysticAbba]

@thwack318 the download on his site has to be bought

[@anon2030]

Y they never put the fingers placement in the synthesia? A lot of ppl, especially kids, r trying to learn from that.

[@thwack318]

Focus on the accents (which repeat later in the melody) and master it at a very slow tempo before trying to take it faster.

[@Ankah]

Is it possible to have your MIDI file for personnal use ?

[@lovethailandforever]

Your notes at the first part is not like the original one is it? From 0.10-0.16 at the end there are three notes missing?

[@thefanofspam]

Please do a tutorial of waterfall by Jon Schmidt next! : )

[@MrGameplayification]

What did you use to record this?! The sound is soo clear

[@JerryPonds]

It is computer generated

[@Yesitsmethankyou]

[@asw2484]

I’ve got frustrated but the notes are incorrect. Original Schmidt is different in verse on left hand author!

[@ZaneWuffy]

oh come on, i bet you wont get into any trouble if you released the midi file. you should do it.

[@aZianPride341]

Can you make one with 25 percent instead of half speed? People will actually learn from a 25 percent speed one

[@Dark85041]

well, its all about listening...u have to listen original song by autor many times...and put a melody to your heart..then it should be much easier to play

[@Nates2000]

can you do the piano guys version of phillips phillips home?

[@cf105543]
