How to fake being good at PIANO! 

He is the type of person who provokes others not to study in exam and comes himself well prepared.

I did this a couple months ago and my music teacher told me that I was gonna do the piano at the school play, well im fucked

“Every single rock song starts in these chords” *plays Let it go*

“And ‘a’ Flat” *hits ‘a’ Natural*

As someone who actually knows how to play the piano, it angers me how good you sound.

Plot twist: By doing this shit you're actually learning to play piano

Step 1: just place your hands in these keys Step 2: Become Beethoven.

Step 1: Put your fingers in the positions Step 2: ??? Step 3: Become a piano virtuoso

Plot twist: the piano was a paid actor

you know you've failed life when a tutorial on how to pretend your talented comes into your recommended...

Dude DUDE this is the video! I watched this a few years ago and it genuinely was what sparked my interest in piano. Seeing how insanely easy it was to play something on the piano that sounds good was what actually motivated me to start. 3 years later and the piano has become a huge part of my life and lowkey made me some money lol (and hopefully more in the future). If I never saw this video, I actually have no idea where I would've ever started playing. Crazy the influence one dude and one video can have 😳

Just love the fact that he has fake tattoos of Disney princesses all over his arms

*says A flat, plays A*

I learned to play a piano in two minutes. This is the future we are living man.

"How to fake being good at piano" *Teaches you to play good piano*

I tried this it frickin works, I tried it in my music lesson he asked me what the chord sequence was... SH*T!

Me: **No piano** Also me: **watches piano videos 24/7**

My man did you just press the A note and say it was A flat 🤦‍♂️

This thing got me through my music exam. So I was doing Music Tech at college and I could not make sense of the few music theory lessons I had. For the upcoming exam, I had to create my own piece of music to fit the assesment criteria and I had no idea what to do. Every time I tried to make a tune, it always came out as a discordant mess. For the assesment, I had to make a 4 minute song and I had never even made a piece longer than 30 seconds. I had seen this video a few months beforehand and when the exam date rolled around, I though *screw it* and used the techniques in the video and made my first 4 minute composition. Fastforward to the present day and I somehow got a B. Thanks Fidabulous, now I can continue the course and go to uni

People kicking off saying he obviously knows how to play piano. NEWSFLASH: People who own pianos usually play fucking piano!!!

I’m so confused to the point where I’m wondering if he actually knows how to play the piano

every child prodigy’s secret

I can't say this enough, THANK YOU! I have a fairly musical ear, I play guitar and compose some electronic music, but I have never really known how to play the piano well, or learned to read sheet music quick enough to play along despite attending piano lessons as a kid. I can play some, but I always have to memorize the song and practice a lot before I can do it. I have a keyboard which I use sometimes when making music but I always have to learn the notes by heart and usually record several times until I get it right. Now I've been jamming the four-chord song every night for a few days, I'm having a blast improvising some melodies on the fly, and I'm basically practicing my finger technique and rhythm instead of worrying about hitting the right keys. THANK YOU! This is starting to sound like a religious testimonial but really, this video is a lifesaver. Oh how I WISH I had been taught some of these basics of harmonic chords when I was learning the piano all those years ago. Instead I was trying agonizingly slow to make sense of some dots on paper and got the JOY of music completely killed off.

“Everything sounds prettier when you hold down this peddle” LMAO 🤣

the disney princess tattoos makes this video so much better than it already is.

When your hands are to small to even fake being a pianist

why am i watching this i've known how to play piano for 6 years

Cool, now I just need a piano

Plot twist -this is actually a great lesson in basic chords and progressions

As a pianist, I have a teensy advice for your playing. When you are transitioning from one chord to another, you want to let go of the sustain pedal, that will make it flow better. If you hold it down the whole time, the chords will merge together and it won’t sound good.

No ones gonna say anything about the princesses on his arm

Wtf ive been playing piano for over 7 years and that is Amazon

I'm a pianist, and I find this both funny and offensive, in some places slightly true

"This is 'A' flat" *Presses 'A' natural*

I wanted to learn piano just well enough to trick people who don't play piano. This (and part2) are the best videos on youtube for that thanks man! I honestly thought you were one of those musicians who were out of touch with beginners, but this actually works super well. All these people complaining that you're secretly a pro prob didn't bother watching part 2

bro what I smoked a bowl and had an ad before this video that was a dude telling me how to play better piano and I thought it was this video and I watched the whole damn ad not even realizing it was an ad bro it tripped me out when the ad ended and the video played bro

“Hold the sustain down with your foot ALWAYS” 😂

Saw your vid on fb without your credits. So i came here to watch the full vid.

This would be my emergency backup when I forgot to play my piano piece.

*How to fake having tattoos...*

How to fake piano: 1- Press only black keys 2- Press the pedal to the right and release whenever the fuck you want, but not too fast 3- Act like a pianist 4- Use two hands

Rather than how to be a good piano, a friend suggested this video. And I gotta say, this is what I was exactly looking for.

I honestly thought "why is this recommended to me" I'm glad it was

I think I'll stick to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

‘A flat’ and then plays an a. Love it

This video will never get old, he literally created a masterpiece. ❤️

I was actually proud of my piano skills before this but now im just depressed. 😔

I've been playing for 8 years now and wow, was it this easy all the time... lol

as a pianist hearing you say things like "button pressing" is hilarious

Awesome video. But one minor tip that might help. You don't really wanna stay on the sustain pedal constantly. You need to let off every time you change chords. Otherwise, all your music will be jumbled together. And by doing that, in a way, it kinda helps a little in your idea. It makes people wonder, "Wow, what's he doing with his foot? This guy IS a real pro. I've always wondered what those pedals were for and here's him actually using them!"

First of all I really love this video. What it doesnt cover is his masterful rhythmic ability that tells a story and conveys emotion. Thats what makes this work. However with enough practice on the simplified basics here I feel confident that I will be able to make beautiful music!

Well it's not Bach, but will do at 3am at the bar.

Plot Twist :- He is actually a professional pianist.

I- I’m relatively good at piano and for sone reason I CAN’T DO THIS

I spent the whole video looking at his Disney tattoo's

I thought for sure this was gonna be a trolling video, but this is totally legit haha

True pianists who took a month to learn Mary had a little lamb: Am I a joke to u?

Dude this genuinly got me into learning real piano and i have learned much after testing a few things out. Thanks

0:31 his laugh tho 😭😭😭 I can't...

As impressed as i am that you've found this loophole in the system, even though im pretty sure you actually know how to play piano, i am even more impressed by the fact that you respond to 95% of the comments

I really like that A flat.

during my piano study, these type of people were always comig to piano rooms to show off their fake skills. And they always ended up getting expelled from the rooms 😂

Just came back to this video after a long time, thanks a lot man, without this i wouldn't have started playing piano. I literally made a piano improv video thanking you❤

I've been playing piano for four years now, and I'm just now sounding that good. I kind of hate you, but at the same time crazy respect.

Me hearing "A flat": what

Its understood that you have a lot of musical talent as it is and this won't make you a master in a second, but its actually a great way to understand how to make music sound really good and come up with your own songs at the same time. You just made me dust off a 20 year old keyboard

Hehe

Instructions were unclear, ended up flex taping my hamster to my little brother’s forehead

I remember I touched the pedal of the piano of my music class, and my mate was like "did u touch something" and I sad "no" I dont know what is the pedal for

so when he says go crazy with your right hand, can i hit any keys with it that i want or does have to be ones he showed in that order with the right hand?

As a fairly experienced pianist, I can say that this is pretty convincing. One thing you could do to improve this is to teach a few simple melodies that sound good to make what you're playing seem structured. I honestly think I would have been legitimately fooled if you had done that. P.S: Where tf is the second pedal

I don't even have a keyboard! Why am I watching this

"Wow,that was beautiful,can you play it again please?"

so with the left hand i can press what i want in this position what i want aseell or is there a certain pattern ?

“Hey that was good. Play something else!” 😱😱😱

This isn't really "Faking" it. It's basically a tutorial on how to play the C Major / A Minor scales.

omg he is so adorable, this is a genuinely good place to start for beginners who get disheartened by the basic scales in the training books tho! You don’t have to know all the technicalities to fuck around and still sound good. Some folks need fun before professionalism and music is perfect for that, especially piano as it is a very forgiving instrument lol

I love the idea that dis is 4yrs ago...plus its very generous of him that we can download his videossss!!!

Literally thought his tats were real until I saw 3 snow whites on his right shoulder lmao

LOL THANK YOU SO MUCH I GOT AN 9 ( 9 OUT OF 10 POINTS ) IN MUSIC CLASS BECAUSE OF THIS XDD

Great video! Thank you for making it. Could you share the actual notes you played. It looks like the right hand was going a bit rogue and improvising beyond the way you instructed it.

Ill have to definetely learn this :D

Just noticed the tattoos and I snorted from laughing Lmao

Got a date coming up, this should help.

I did this at a musical museum yesterday they had a brand piano in the lobby and afterwards one of the employees came to thank me for dedication to Plano I literally told her I don't know how to play the piano I just saw what I played on a RU-vid video.

I use G sharp instead of A flat, is that ok?

" They can go swallow a fork ." 😂

‘you can hit any button sequence you want’ lmao

You’re an eye candy and your playing is ear candy. But with all seriousness, this is my most favorite piano tutorial ever!👏👏👏

Nah the “ A flat “ took me out 🤣

Lmao got an ad for learning to play piano before the vid

Thanks man you legend I knew there was a Ludovico in me somewhere. Took your techniques and in 1 hour I made my self rain from the eyes.. No I mean my gf.

This is AWESOME I have never seen someone try to make it so easy, otherwise people are just trying to show off and teach nothing.

This is the video I've been looking for my whole life! Thank you!

Who else got an ad of how to play piano and thought it was the video

I actually know how to play and tbh it sounds better than my playing lol👏🏽👏🏽

The girly laugh at the end *PRICELESS*

This was great, is there a name to the piece you played in the end? Or do you have a video of you playing the full song? Thanks
