A little about me:
Sean Daniel is a man. A man of simple needs and desires. And the one desire, no, the one NEED, that stands above all is to spread the challenges, joy and intellectual stimulus of music to people of Earth and beyond.
Born on the mean streets of upper middle class suburban Chicago, Sean learned the ways of the world through the dizzying heights of success to the lonesome depths of failure and emerged with the promise of a better tomorrow reflecting in his eyes and fiery passion in his belly.
He plays and teaches guitar on his UA-cam channel where he regularly releases original music and projects to the adulation of legions of fans, who often compare him to Chris Pratt and one time Ryan Reynolds. He’s currently in the market for a nice leather jacket.
Mad teaching skills, mad piano skills, the hair is on point. Faking mad musical genius skills ... No. You're the real deal.
This one is getting pinned.
Not so mad guitar balancing skills sadly :/
Youssef Rbahi ... That's what happens when you play heavy on the "D".
I WAS DISTRACTED!
great tips.. Just be sure you have an 'excuse me while I go to the bathroom' type line prepared so as not to play for more than 2 mins, otherwise people will be on to you. Also, never, I repeat never, show this to your piano teacher or any piano teacher, or musician.. or any one for over 2 min. Otherwise awesome. The other thing is it tends to sound like music on the cheap on a cruise ship (omg I know who I sound like now, SC, lol) ;-) good fun vid
Can you do another video on how to fake mad surgical procedures? I want to impress my friends.
Sure why not ... put up a sign " Boob and Behind Enhancements Done Here ".... watch the lines form ... ;-)
The title is called faking mad piano skills and it's lead by the advanced pianist!
his methods are exactly how I kept my job at John Hopkins as a Proctologist.
Don't worry it's exactly like playing an instrument. Just press some buttons and hope they work.
I did that. But it didn't end well...
Me: *has taken 5 years of piano lessons*
Also me: “OOOH I WANNA FAKE MAD PIANO”
:)
Ikr I took 8 years of lessons being classically trained, plus around 6 months of keyboard
Yet i still want to fake it and dok this
Samez
I've played for eight and I'm literally doing the same
Me to, I’ve been playing piano since 1st grade, but I’d rather fake it
brain: watch that
me: but why i already know piano
brain: you gotta
me: okay
Yeah that's kinda what went down
Because it's funny when we already know. That's why I clicked, to have fun.
There should be a comma after "but" and a question mark after "why." In addition, "I" should be capitalized.
"Know piano" should be replaced with "know how to play piano."
Yup seeing his hand placements and reluctance to use his middle fingers is hilarious to me.
Yeah same
Now hold on a second... Did you just trick me into learning important preliminary piano skills such as note and chord progression, arpeggios, correct posture and finger positioning, plus three useful exercises I can easily do regularly to start my piano journey? Man this is some 'ol Bullsh*t..
Shhhhh
@@seandaniel23 All I can say is THANK YOU! I cant read sheet music, and I have been wanting to learn for years. I get it now! Just have to find a simple keyboard. so excited!
Best comment on UA-cam 😂
@@seandaniel23 u scammer you did really teach me something! how dare u trick me!
I dont know why this sounds like a paid promotion.
Instructions unclear, I accidentally learned something about music. Please halp.
Quick hit the backspace button!!!!!
Chords seem important. I'm no instrument expert though.
That's the purpose of the video! Thanks cheers!
@@coows Tried playing a chord on my trumpet. Failed miserably.
@@michaelburke4048 chuckling & chortling matching a child's cheer....
And 10 fake the piano videos later, he's actually taught you how to play... Fake it at first, you get a reaction, suddenly you wanna 'fake' more and more and before you know it you're learning how to play properly... genius dude 🤘 bravo
Thanks so much!!
Fake it ´till you make it!!
I guess that's what it means to fake it until you make it 😂
...or does that only apply to confidence
🤫 don’t expose him
Damnit! Did he trick me into learning something? Hahaha
My wife says she fakes it all the time but I've only seen her play the piano once.
Damn she cheafin
....mad chuckling....
too funnnnny
F
u poor poor man lol! :) thats funnier than my new poino skills and my spelling also :)
Plotwist: doing this is you actually learning how to play the piano
Shhhhh
Well fake learning that is...
...take it all the way to faking Bach perfectly, they’ll never know it’s an act!
@@pikaskew so mischievous! And dont forget Für Elise for that extra fakery. They'll never see it coming
Billy Bob don’t forget to fakingly play moonlight sonata! They’ll never notice
Yea
Bruhhh this ACTUALLY works!! i just jumped on a piano in a shop and did what you said... people started asking me to play songs... thats where i kinda went off and was like "a real musician never does requests.." and walked off.
Edit: God Dayuuum this got serious traction aye?
Love hearing this!
im cringing really bad
haedes r/thathappened
KryptiK Knowledge lol that coulda got really awkward
NO OWNER of a respectable music shop would be convinced you play piano
This is quite funny! I mean, I’ve been playing for 15 years now so I know my shit, but seriously quality BS right here 👌👌👌
If anyone is reading this comment, further tips off this vid:
1. He didn’t mention that he was holding down the damper pedal to sustain the notes he played (so basically he could make all these sounds from the piano without holding down all of those notes). Using the damper pedal would make it sound more professional as this man knew. The damper pedal can be found as the very right pedal on the bottom of the piano.
2. The (major) Arpeggio trick he touched on does not work on all of the white notes, only C, F, and G. The other notes require sharps or flats (black notes) to produce a major arpeggio; however, you can also use this trick on the white notes A, D, and E to get a minor arpeggio.
3. Lean into the piano when your playing things soft and lean away when your playing louder to really convince your friends that you are a pro and you know what you’re doing. I know this works because it’s what I do to impress the boys.
Seriously though, great video! This comment wasn’t supposed to sound braggy and cocky at all, just helping to further enhance how to BS crazy mad piano skills 😂😂.
Thanks so much for adding!
Well shoot I can't use the damper pedal lol.
Chris Cassin just pretend you are
You can also press on b for a diminished arpeggio, which sounds mysterious and is likely to make you sound smart.
Oh my god 😂😂😂 “To impress the boys” 😂😂 Yes I love it and I want to be your friend 😭😂😂

Step 3:learning how to spell it

He looks like a mix between. Chris Pratt and Paul Rudd
with a pinch of Casey Neistat thrown in for good measure.
actually seems like the best chemistry between two com actors. I was really hoping for Ant-Man and Starlord.
I was literally thinking that
A little bit of bananadick cucumberpatch too if I might say
VelvetThunder69 he sounds like Paul Rudd and looks like Chris Pratt
Actual pianist and amateur composer here, I love the crossover. The song I'm working on requires really fast arpeggios with different chords being used
It's a solid move.
Not sure about faking anything though your teaching style is brilliant. Whenever you give a person a way to sound or look impressive right away they will more than likely want more of it and that confidence alone will jumpstart their learning... and impressively will teach them from day 1: improvisation skills! Good stuff...
Am I the only pianist watching this while laughing their ass off? Great tips dude!
Thanks so much!
No haha! but idk if it's different in english but isn't the firdt note he presses 'Do'?
Nvm he said 'C'
ChandlerKnowsBest hahahahaha, SAAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!! I’m also a pianist, and also liked the vid.
+Quinten Verkest Yeah, English speakers generally don't use solfège.
On a serious note... thank you. My mother played. My uncles plays. My grandfather played as well. Now, I too shall learn to play. I am grateful to you for the encouragement. I’ve yet to be motivated by anyone’s approach to learning from scratch... until now. I appreciate your style. Sincerely.
I started watching this guy for some Bossa Nova tips, and ending up watching everything. This guy is legit and super fun to watch. Great teacher 😊
I have watched this video 3 times and I love it so dang damn much. Thanks for makin’ it Sean 🙏🏻
Still shook that you’re a Sean Daniel fan and still recovering from you saying hi to me 😂 but thank you for all that you do 😊
You’re amazing Garrett 💗💗
Thanks so much for watching Garrett! I'll have more on the way soon!!
Omg hi garrett!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
GARRETTTTTTTT
I expect to see some mad piano skills soon
oOF GARRETT LMAO
I have a Microecon essay due tomorrow and Im sitting here learning how to "fake mad piano" skills at 1 in the morning
This video should have made you smarter all around, so in a roundabout way you’re still studying.
Hey same but Physic Lab report
xD we've all been there
I have a final tomorrow and I'm sitting here doing the same thing
7 chapters of notes, 70 pages, test tomorrow, 9:00. Here I am
This video is so good. I’m at my in laws for the holidays. I’ve been staring at their grand piano for years wishing I could play. I just applied the knowledge from this video and within 5 minutes, my wife’s family was popping their heads in the room wondering who was playing because it sounded pleasant.
As a guitar player, the idea of physicality is something I’ve been missing. Instantly, I could feel my body naturally swaying at the piano to create unique rhythms. I can’t wait to apply this to my guitar playing.
Sean, thanks for the phenomenal lesson!
Nobody who knows the first thing about music will fall for this.
You just know by this dudes sarcasm he's hilarious to hang out with.
Thanks for checking out the vid :)
"Like you have a deep understanding of what's happening."
Me: *Sways back and forth like I know what I'm doing*
Me (in my mind): *_I have no idea what I'm doing_*
Fake it til you make it.
Advice from a man of true culture.
Most underrated comment here 😅
Sean, you are so funny. I loved watching this video. Thank you for sharing!
I play guitar and this is exactly how I fake piano. It is uncanny.
I burst out laughing so much I had to watch it again.
'Make sure you sway back and forth like you have a deep understanding of what is going on here'.
Pro tip right there!
@@seandaniel23 Great video, thanks for uploading.
"...and pretend to be remembering something...long ago." I laughed with my earphones in and people thought I was crazy.
6:14 "pretend like you're remembering something" lol This guy is great. He's hilarious and doesn't take life too seriously. Love it.
Thanks for saying so!
I watched this video 3 times and practiced for 3 days now and they inducted me in the royal philharmonic orchestra. Your a legend Sean.
Man I seen quite a few of your videos and always appreciate the experience and knowledge but this one really funny, and i guarantee comes in handy at some point
Legend has it he has responded to all 3.4k comments and is still responding
Sometimes you can still hear the responses echoing through the halls.
He himself is legend already
The most sofisticated one..
Comment people love this!
After watching this video I have been asked to play in 3 different weddings. Don't worry, they seem like fake weddings, so I'm good.
Common side affect.
Sean Daniel *effect
Spaced Out don’t be that guy
Black Magic where is the period in that sentence.
@@shadowhunter2275 You forgot the capital.
Sean, if you ever read this - all that I ask is that you fully take the sentiment that I about about to express to you to the depths of your heart and , whatever doesn’t fit, well, may it runneth into your soul :
Not all hero’s wear capes, Sean.
not. all. heroes. wear. capes.
This video should been mandatory viewing for every man, woman, & child on the face of this planet. I ask you : What could it hurt??? I totally learned something valuable from this video - no joke. You, sir, are the real deal. I mean that in all seriousness and I would fist -bump 👊🏼 the ever-living shit out of you if we ever to meet in person. You can write that down.
To whom it may concern :
I, without so much as a moments hesitation, FULLY endorse & rate this video : MUST WATCH !
A++++++
If you skip this video - you are missing out.
Straight-up.
Lie to yourself and tell me that I’m wrong , but at least one of us will know the truth, which I shall repeat once more for clarity : If you skip this video, you are missing out. As in : Instantly, you will be lacking. Even if youre not even remotely aware of it. Humans were literally born to learn shit like this. Its what seperates us from, like, goldfish & ferrets, you dig? So, why don’t you all ACT like a human and culture yourself for a spell by watching this video. If “Variety is the spice of life” , then videos like this are the basil, you know? We’re talking foundational life-skills type shit, here. Do I need to go on, or are the great majority of you catching the drift of the unapologetically-HIGH praise that I am happily-heaping onto this video???
Alright, then.
Press “PLAY”.
I’m not going anywhere until you do.
I’ve got all night.
Try me.
The Basil is here!
@Jason Crinklaw You don’t mince words, do you? I wholeheartedly agree. Sean, you are the *MAN!*
I just can't stop laughing... Actually the kind of tutorial I need to keep watching... I'm a subscriber 😂😂😂

From a couple of minutes in, all I could think was, "I *like* this guy! He's awesome!" Your fake made piano skill tutorial is the absolute best! It's a B-Sharp presentation on a C-scale instrument!
Love this vlog 😍 I have been practising for 10 months and never thought of doing a crossover - thanks to you my confidence has risen my ability improved AND my technique has become graceful , I am starting to feel like a Pro - thanks Sean 😎
Jus tell them ur playing in G# mixlodian double harmonic with a flattened third. Makes u seem smart.
Great tip.
Nathan Craig I’ve been playing for 8 years but I would have no idea what that means, 🤣
Callan Brain I don’t really either😂
Nathan Craig nice 😆
I've got NO CLUE what a mixlodian double harmonic scale is even after 9 years.

You have helped me a lot. I have an amputated fingerr and have been under the impression that I would never be able to play the piano. I played the saxophone and had to have the F pad custon extended on my 1913 CONN Alto sax. The shop did a great job of finding a similar sax to cannibalize so I don't have a mixture of time elements involved in my instrument. It took a long time to relearn the timing with playing notes when involved in playing with a nubb of a finger. I don't see why I couldn't learn to play the piano now. Thank you!
this is fantastic. guy's a genius, or he just knows something..either way, nobody else is doing this that i know of. talk about nailing it. just played something on a computer keyboard and impressed myself. very happy.
Coworker: why are you smiling?
Me: Arpeggio

You're so sophisticated.
Faking being a musician, well, hearing music these days, I would say this is in wide use...

Cough Drake cough cough
your content is amazing! I was literally laughing while watching this. it is so refreshing to see your style in a video about music. keep up the great work! cant wait to see your next video.
that was great. Had a nice laugh with my coffee this morning. "sway", like you really have a deep understanding of what is going on" Love it. Thanks for your time.
LOL "Say you're playing in Bb but just play in the key of C"
I lost it lmao

Bflat Dorian D Dorian would be if you were actually playing the Bflat scale. Lol.
isnt it B#?
Please do B♭ instead of doing Bb
G L that is B sharp
*Fakes piano skills*
That’s how mafia works
One of the best videos on the internet! Im lousy on guitar, even worse on piano but I will defenetly make the most of faking my piano skills thanks to this wonderfully helpful video.
“C is kinda basic, so say it’s Bb and play C”
I peed myself on that one... certainly no sophistication here

when i need timely reminders as a jobbing synth blagger I always turn to you Sean and refresh myself with your charming essential piano life skills many a time its saved my hide in the quest for the blagging holy grail of joining in a jam ! you make it fun and add confidence and grace to your poker face ! nICE !
I love this tutorial, it's hilarious! I've already learned how to play piano as a kid/teen but compared with many, I'm preeety average. I understood everything in your video on a technical level - but it's actually really clever! It makes me want to compose something haha... and 'sway back and forth' while doing it 😂
"Say you are playing on B flat". I'll say I'm playing on B sharp, is more sophisticate and is not a lie. This is the best piano lesson I saw.
Thanks so much Leonardo!
Leonardo Severini Actually I read in a book than b# doesn't sound exactly the same as c but it close enough that you are allowed to write it that way if you really want to.
Gavin Roberts In a piano is the same.
oh crap now i wish i could delete mine
"And make sure you sway back and forth" 😂👏 Bravo master, bravo this mans a genius
My Mom wants me to learn the piano. You made it so simple for me! Thank you! ^~^

This is PURE GENIUS! You've explained the basics absolutely easily!
I thought it was just me. This is EXACTLY how I fake the piano when I go to someone’s house who has a piano, for I do not. I do tell people after that I faked it. You have a great sense of humor. Also… I say “I’ll play a little F Lydian for ya… it’s mystical” 💫 Good stuff.

Hilarious!!! But, somewhat educational at the same time. Your the best Sean!!
Thanks for watching as always!
What about his the best Sean?
you're*
Say it out loud. If the "are" fits then it's you're.
"You are the best, Sean!!"
See? It fits. From now on, just say it out loud before you type it.
Here's an example of it not fitting:
"Son, I need you to clean you're room."
As you can see, it wouldn't make sense to say "I need you to clean you are room," because his son is not a room, he's a human so you would instead put "your."
The correct sentence would therefore be: "Son, I need you to clean your room."
Remember, whenever typing "your" or "you're" simply say the sentence out loud to see if "are" fits because "you're" = "you are."
You're welcome.
Btw I spent the time typing this out due to your implication that you're interested in learning things.

You end every sentence with a vowel sound. It's fascinating.
You can sit on piano and with a sophisticated face just say "I'm gonna improvise in the key of B#" which is technically the key of C.😎😂

It is not D:
@@skorp5677 it is tho

Sean - for us beginner/intermediate guitar players and home recording hobbyists, how about a lesson on how to begin to add or sprinkle some piano or organ into a song, mix, chord progression to make it more interesting? Intros, Outtros, pre-chorus - stuff where you don't need to be a grand player (pun intended) but utilize that midi keyboard.
Great idea!
"Great idea" - Printing to show wife and daughters - where's my refrigerator magnet?
Perfect idea!
Fezzler61 play in “C” and add the for mentioned lesson.
there's a big element of humor in this, and i love it !!!
Thanks for saying so!
It is hilarious. I particularly like 'remembering something from the past'.
... At some point one can also add 'Welcome... to the Starlight Lounge. I'll be here into the small hours, playing some of your smooth jazz favourites'.
