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

  • By request, I created this tutorial video from an earlier MIDI recording I had made (the same one as used in my All of Me MIDI 3D video). Since this is my own performance, it's not identical to Jon's sheet music, but I tried to clean up the most glaring errors and quantized it to hopefully make it easier to follow. Also note that the sustain pedal is used ad-lib throughout, so don't go by the note lengths alone.
    It will play through twice, first at half speed and then at full speed beginning at 6:05.
    Original sheet music available at thepianoguys.c...
    My MIDI file available at drive.google.c...

    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.

      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...

    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.

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:)

    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.

      @RaeCarson 8 років тому +5

      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.

    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
      @thomasgorman6513 9 років тому +1

  • @terrivel11
    @terrivel11 12 років тому

    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.
