How to Play ~ This Is Halloween ~ from The Nightmare Before Christmas ~ LetterNotePlayer ©

[@destinykili]

i watched this video about 50 times before getting to my keyboard. so i practically knew alot of the song as i played. i just started playing it today.. and ive been on it for hours.. perfecting it. i have about 80% of the song perfected! this helped me a LOT. thanks for the awesome video

[@LetterNotePlayer]

So many good things in your comment - I like the intense focus before you got the keyboard, then the dedication to your practice session. With your approach you will learn to play lots of songs :)

[@LetterNotePlayer]

The notation has its' limitations, but if you know the song, and know the letters of the keys (or put stickers on the keys), you can learn the song quickly. This song is a little more involved - for the spoken words I used X's rhythmically (like percussion music). Start with the RH melody, start on a G and play it just like it sounds in the original. Letters all correspond to keys on the piano. Not as precise as music notation, but very easy to learn something quickly :)

I thought i was the only one who LOVED that song :D IM NOT ALONE! it is so amazing, it would be amazing to learn how to play it

[@drcoolguy2772]

of course not. its such a catchy and beautifully written song that im quite surprised others haven't requested it. and i love to queen so thats another reason why id love to learn it

[@LetterNotePlayer]

That's a tough one - so many instruments, rich vocal harmonies & great piano accompaniment during the singing. I'll see what I can do -)

[@LetterNotePlayer]

Casio LK-220 - added the letter stickers to the keys :) More info in FAQ on my website. Also have Amazon ad for stickers on the website. The Casio LK series features keys that light up:)

This is the best tutorial I've seen so far thank you so much

[@LetterNotePlayer]

Sorry K, haven't gotten back to this song - lots of requests. I'll try to work in some time on a part two - you're right, it's worth it :)

[@Dani-ob9ge]

[@fantasygrey2420]

Awesome!!! Thank you so much! Can't wait till I go home to try this on my keyboard/piano!!!

[@drcoolguy2772]

id understand if you were unable to and i hate to sound like a kiss up but the only reason i ask is because youre a really good pianist :p

[@drcoolguy2772]

could you do queens good old fashioned lover boy? I've looked for a tutorial for 2 years now and have yet to find one

[@myprincesseileen]

I love this! Can you do a tutorial on "come on eileen" by Dexy's midnight runners?(;

[@spaceghostgreyz524]

God bless you for this

[@Martycz5]

Can you make a tutorial on Final Fantasy X - To Zanarkand please ?

[@Ucceah]

i found this video very helpfull, thanks for that. i recently restored a little electric hohner reed organ from the 60s (organa 30), and look for pieces to practice .. getting used to a keyboard based instrument after playing guitar for like 17 years is a bitch. :D one thought on the LED keyboard: i always found it a silly idea, especially to teach beginners. because many, many teach, that about the most important thing you need to master is not to look at your fingers all the time, to internalize the instrument, so your brain can go on autopilot while playing, and i absolutely agree. however, for demonstration and teaching purposes like this tutorial, it seems to be the most brillient idea ever! and thinking about it from this point, it may actually help a newbie to internalize visualizing they keystrokes. how interresting! peace~

[@LetterNotePlayer]

+Cuda FX No quicker way to learn a song on keyboard and internalize the chord progression. Similar to tab for guitar and / or chord charts. Glad to help :) Thanks for all of the kind words :) I'll bet that organ sounds pretty good :)

[@The09220]

can you show us how to play Clair de Lune by Beethoven

[@seventyseven8076]

The intro is hard xD

[@noelle3780]

This sounds really good, and I want to download the letter sheet. But there's so many of them listed there, and it's frustrating to search for them through that. What is it listed under?

[@LetterNotePlayer]

Go to 'All Songs' page - listed alphabetical by title ... This is Halloween ...

[@destinykili]

you never posted a part two to this video. if i'm wrong.. show me where it is. cuz i searched your channel

[@FroggyMushroom]

Notes don't make sense on the web site

[@lolatuson6117]

I love it to! :D

[@bob4653227]

What keyboard do u have?

[@artistic_revenge]

My hands aren't that big so it's very hard for me to do the intro with the C's like this

[@LetterNotePlayer]

I'm not sure why your hand size should affect you on the intro. You just play one C with your LH ... play the (Eb-G) with your RH. Then when the LH plays the whole Cmin chord, it's just (C-Eb-G). The RH takes the haunting melody on G (up an octave).

[@TheMetallicMind]

Thank's a lot! But ... the "X" notes ... what notes are? Thanks ^^

[@LetterNotePlayer]

The "X" notes are "spoken" - no pitches/tones involved :)

[@TheMetallicMind]

ty ^^

[@kidx1805]
