Synthesia - Chrono Trigger: Corridors of Time (Zohar002)

[@peterjussi4791]

can you imagine how much of a musical genius you would have to be in order to write this?

[@minoswang2574]

It's not musical genius per say. The way composition works, this song comes from other songs and chords learned by the composer. Mostly in the early stages of acquiring music theory.

[@wrelow]

@@minoswang2574 of course then do it yourself -.-

[@dannynysus]

​@@shin-vs2rzYeah, I like...uhh, write award-winning compositions every day on the toilet and stuff

With only 7 months of piano experience and a couple months of practise I can finally play it! I'm proud :D

[@prayerblack]

You Learn Well Then!

Hahaha, I made that comment 7 years ago... I gotta add that i seriously injured my hands in the process. How naive I was. I'm fine now and mostly focused on jazz piano, but this piece is what really sparked my interest in the instrument. Lesson learned: don't try to learn something really hard if it's way above your level, no matter how much you want to😂

[@Joyblossom2010]

@ You started piano around the same time I did then. I started in April 2012. And I was just like you, playing pieces like this just months in. Needless to say, I have also learned the same lesson. When I played things before I was ready, a lot of times I ended up butchering it in some aspect. Be it the timing, accuracy, tone or overall quality. These years have taught me that playing piano is not just about hitting the right notes. There is so much more that goes into it.

@@Joyblossom2010 well said!

[@dr_hellcat_6664]

@ wait you can injure your hands by doing this? Huh can’t wait til I get my hands on my own piano!!!

[@andrewlevine7314]

Listening to this gives me emotions I didn't know I had.

[@jchea1764]

It's not impossible to play the song ! Play the video at 0.25x speed first .. go in short sequences .. Play the same sequence again and again .. a day, a week if you have to .. Then continue the next sequence .. It's all in the fingering .. once you've familiarise with the fingering you'll get the hang of it ! You can do it !! 😊 Remember: Some notes play before other notes , some notes play together with other notes , Some notes play after other notes .. Understanding this simple concept makes practising much easier

[@PrismaPup7]

Thank you for the tips!! :D

[@jchea1764]

@@PrismaPup7 good luck ! 😊👍🏻

[@gamble777888]

This is a pretty advanced piece. Jazzy rhythms like these are not something to start off with.If anyone is looking to get into piano you're better off learning another piece first, and then, after several years of a lot of practice you can give this one a crack.

[@Enigmater14]

Adrian Arenas This is the first full song I learned how to play. Took me 3 months to learn, but I got it!

[@gamble777888]

Enigmater14 Nice! If you love a piece enough and want to play it badly enough I guess anything is learnable. I'd love to learn to play this too. Someday soon I'll give it a go

[@Kirbythefat]

Enigmater14 man i don’t think I’ve learn a song fully in my time or playing piano. It’s rare I love a song equally in all parts so I just learn the main melody and improvise. Such as this song’s main melody in the original with the sitar and the intro and piano parts are my favorite portions

[@ravenswod]

you can tell when a composer puts their heart and soul into their music, it shows here and I love it.

For about 8 months now I've had an injury in both my hands for playing this song on the piano too much. I guess I couldn't handle the awesomeness of it... I can't wait till I can play this song again.

Kinda crazy to see people from 8 years ago still commenting on this video to this day

[@dannynysus]

The music is good _beyond_ _the_ _limits_ _of_ _time_ ⏳

[@mixify1]

I was listening to this just now when I started watching the steam billow out of my mug of tea. All the little water droplets were caught in the light of my lamp, and I found it fascinating to look at... and then, I realized that if I looked hard enough, it looked like the steam was dancing to this song. It was so awesome.

[@honathanjaro1939]

i’ll start learning this today after visiting it over and over for a year :p it’s so pretty

[@Sugurain]

Arghhhhhh! It's SO frustrating! I love this song, but I can't play it! Not even small parts of it! I needed a professor just to teach me this song and I'm done, this is the song that made me start to play, and I won't mind if it's the last one I'll ever learn, as long as I learn the damn thing! When I finally learn this, I can die in peace!

[@LuLYeah]

The key to any instrument is never giving up. No matter how hard it is, or how long have you been practicing, you'll eventually make it. NEVER, EVER, IN YOUR LIFE, STOP PRACTICING THIS. NO MATTER HOW HARD. I PROMISE YOU YOU'LL MAKE IT.

[@reyespiano945]

How was it? By the time I read your comment, I only knew how to play 10 seconds. Now I can play the whole song!

[@Chris-tk9hy]

that's the spirit

[@dianafidelson3527]

Sugurain Q

[@spicysquire]

This was 3 years ago. Have you learned it yet?

[@shark235235]

What I love about this song is the fact that the melody is in the left hand, while the harmony is in the right hand, I think that there are too many songs that are vise versa

[@ToonTownTom]

I remember a year ago looking at this and saying, " This doesn't look that hard". Sits at piano, realizing how hard the syncopation is. Anyways, beautiful song, great showy piece for anyone's repertoire.

[@chariotofthesun]

Probably the best video game soundtrack of all time

[@Kanonamos]

Goddamit. You went and made me fall in love with a song.

[@thewolf12399]

[@Senacesn]

8 years later have you done it 😶

[@DenisAlexsander]

Damn bro.....i just cried.....and i was very happy listening to this song...

[@reyespiano945]

I have been learning this song for a while and I must say, the most difficult and stressing part is getting used to the rythm and style. I once gave up, but now I will not. Thank you for the midi.

[@chinessgirl]

one of the very few songs that i find so moving. video game music

[@epicm14]

wow, this is fun to play, especially in the left hand

[@beasterbunny217]

So at 0:39 there is a spot where you hit octave C#'s in the right hand but how did you manage to hit a D with a B almost 2 octaves above it? Your nose?

[@jcline87]

I use the big toe on my right foot.

[@sidneyrobinson18]

beasterbunny217 pedal then just press the key normally

[@amayotato]

JustASlag Wait, I just realised... How are you using your right foot when your right foot is pedaling? Or did you mean left foot?

[@princessadrienne6]

Yep. I cried. Love this song.

[@JMESIX]

Im going to do this. I shall be back in a little while with my progress.

[@JacobPaige]

@Raviex1 its the overworld music for the floating kingdom in 12,000 BC, one of the only overworld locations that's only available for a very limited time, so its understandable that it might be hard to remember.

[@Arrow9100kj]

Oh this is way better to look at than that horridly confuffling sheet music for this @.@. The piece still isnt a cakewalk but at least its more accessible now. Thanks a bunch Mr.Moes =D!!

[@DonovanBarfield]

Thanks for the sheets man, you rock! :)

[@God8010]

All songs look harder than they are. It's just a matter of forcing the muscles in your fingers to respond by memory rather than responding to learning. It comes with time and true effort.

[@DragonFire381]

That was so awesome!

[@h31212]

The two blue notes that hit the board at the same time at 0:28... How big are your hands suppose to be??

[@vishnumangalath]

You use pedal so you don't have to have your hands on both notes at the same time.

[@dogboy0912]

Pedals won't bend time to let you play a chord that is too big. You have to use your right hand to play the higher note of the left hand, it's only an octave away, perfectly doable, That note should be green (right hand) imo.

[@johnd7199]

Shit you think that's bad, look at the one at 40 seconds lmao. no time to play the top note with the right hand since it's already busy as f

[@evanpeters4679]

I know this is old but the first note is hit before hand so just sustain it and slide your hand down to the other.

[@h31212]

0:40 🤔 Mistake ?

It's a steep learning curve, but you can do it. I'm learning this now, and it's quite challenging. So is Bloody Tears, but that is a better learning song so I have been spending time on that.

very easy to learn this i played it in five min thanks and i never played this song before

[@12ealDealOfficial]

@typingfreak1 PC. OR you could use the search bar at the top of your internet browser, click the blank margin, use your computer's keyboard to type in the word 'Synthesia', and hit the 'Enter' Key, also known at the 'Return' key. This will cause your computer screen to go blank momentarily, then the screen will display a number of results. Using the scroll function, via keyboard or mouse, you can sift through these 'search results' to find your answer... But I think it's on the PC.

[@Medachod]

Was it really necessary to have such complex chord patterns? I might very well have to learn to read sheet music in order to play this. Learning by ear is too strenuous for this song.

[@Cooper59100]

Magnific

[@usuitakumi8179]

1:57 .___. I'm stuck...

[@nal8503]

Are you referring to the run?

[@usuitakumi8179]

Yes ;^; ... I kinda improvised that part and got the end now.. but still...

[@nal8503]

Just practice the run alone, very very slowly. When you can play it from memory several times in a row cleanly, ramp the speed up a little bit. Repeat until you reach the full tempo. If you're the kind of person that wants to sit down for hours on end until they get it down, make sure to take at least 10-30 minutes of a break (where you do nothing at all for at least 5 minutes to reset your brain). If you just practice it for a little bit every day it still shouldn't take you much longer than 1-2 weeks to get to full speed though. It's a simple and short run after all. Also, note how it is just the same four notes repeated and then figure out two or three hand placements that allow you to minimize the movement between the octaves (whatever feels comfortable to you).

[@liquidhot84]

Amazing midi! Since you've done a couple of Zohar's arrangements, any chance you're working on Zohar's "Shevat, the Wind is Calling" from Xenogears? It's another amazing piano arrangement by Zohar that a midi file still isn't available for (although sheet music is). I HIGHLY request that one if it hasn't made it on your list of projects.

[@trickykid3000]

@laurensvr777 if u got the sheet music it will tell u when to use the right hand only at some parts. usually the three notes that are grouped together, but any note with a bracket is played with the right hand when it is in the bass clef and vice versa....but god dam is it worth it. never get sick of this tune

[@zoharXplays]

UR SO GOOD AT PIANO

[@SparcMan]

I have a Roland digital piano. All of the advantages of a keyboard and it sounds as nice as a real piano with the functionality of a real piano as well.

[@ragu-KFP]

I think this is doable for me. I will learn this song after I’m done a song I’m already learning. I will learn at least 1 minute of it. 0:00 to 1:25

[@yoshikatie1]

[@grahamjohnson8486]

Steps to learning this song: 1. Take a sharp blade and cut down the middle of your left hand(This will allow for wider reach on the piano (: ) 2. After the first part with your right hand, quickly stitch it back up 3. .. 4. Profit.
