Mad World Keyboard Practice
Looking for the lyrics or piano sheets for the song? Go here
Couple of days ago I found a video on YouTube teaching you how to do Mad World, just so happening to be the music from one of my top three favorite movies of all time.
Yesterday I started practicing and little by little I’m improving. What you see in this video is all by memory. Unfortunatly I can’t play any more cause my keyboard controller is only 24 tangents so I hit the end of the keyboard and can’t go any further when I’m halfway in the song.
Fortunatly however, a friend of mine is selling a 49 tangents keyboard controller so I’m thinking about buying it for now cause he’s giving me a good price on it, especially compared to what these things cost brand new and even used.
Anyways. I’m also trying to learn to read notes cause I can’t rely on videos for every song I wanna play 
I’ve started using this program called Teach Me Piano Deluxe and supposedly when I’m done with it I’ll be able to read notes and play the piano/keyboard like a pro ^^

[..YouTube..] I just bough a keyboard after listening to requiem of a dream solo, but I have never played an instrument b4, we’ll see how it goes.
[..YouTube..] it was gud but i still got a bit confused .. i think i’m just gonna try and work it out on my own
[..YouTube..] You should check out the video link in my description, this is just a video of me trying out the stuff I saw in it ;)
[..YouTube..] all i can play is the first line of it so far. but i’ve been doing keyboard for a while now. dont worry it takes me about 50 attempts when i record songs
[..YouTube..] Nice playing, like this song. :)That’s a cool little MIDI controller. I know that piano patch anywhere, you’re using Reason, right? Reason has some nice piano sounds. :)
[..YouTube..] well done. i love this song.what were you playing on? It’s sounds like a piano but only has 2 octaves.
[..YouTube..] I had the same problem.I started by playing it really slowly, so slow that it was one note at a time,then speeding it up gradually.
[..YouTube..] Very good, helps me learn it. Just a suggestion, you play it a little loud, it would sound better softer.. Just my opionion. Again, good video though.
[..YouTube..] yes finally someomne who shows u how to play it thank u very much now i know how to play it!!!!!!!
[..YouTube..] Buy some cheap keyboards and start practicing. That´s what I did. Just bought them the day before yesterday. And so far learned half of Imagine, little pieces of Ave Maria… If you already play one musical instrument it´s not that hard transferring.
