I've been getting so much questions about my videos etc.
I decided to make this FAQ. From now on, unless you have a question that isn't answered here, I'll probably redirect you all to this page. It's not because I don't want to answer personal but because like 90 % of the questions are always the same.
You have now idea how many comments I always have to answer and to explain some things all over again.
I hope you don't mind me. I love you guys. :)
1. What piano-app do you use?
I use "Music Studio" from Xewton for iOS devices.
It's a blue icon with a keyboard in the right corner.
You can find it on the App-Store. And yes, I use the paid version because I really fell in love with the app. It even supports MIDI and the recording and editing functions are super awesome! (and no I don't get paid to say that haha). But you can go with the free version as well of course. :)
I couldn't find similar good piano apps in the Play Store since my Mom has an Android tablet but if you only want to play songs on your tablet apps like "Perfect Piano!" are acceptable.
2. Can you upload a tutorial for the song [insert random song name here]?
Of course I usually reply with "yes" BUT: because I have song requests for like every R5 and Austin & Ally songs it kind of doesn't matter anymore unless lots of people want the same song. I can't tell yet which song I play next because I usually decide randomly. I'm very sorry for that but remember that your song is actually on my list so don't worry, okay? :)
3.Where is the sheet music for [insert random song name here]?
Its in the description of the video. If it isn't there, it doesn't exist.
(I get that question a lot because no one seem to listen to me) :) haha
4. Can you write down the sheet music for [insert random song name here]?
I write down a few songs but the majority not. For me it takes a lot of time to do that because I don't even think about what I am actually playing with my right hand (or even my left). There are mistakes in lots of my sheet notes. And I don't know, I think you can see in the videos how to play it.
5. Are all the notes correct in your tutorials?
Oh my god, of course not. Soooo so many mistakes... because I play by ear. And I know my first (like at least 25) tutorials are crap. And lately I've been trying to improve my skills and I try to upload song played with both hands but yeah I don't even like most of them but I still wanna try to help you. :)
6. Why do you can play all this by ear?
I don't know.. I guess a lot of practice. :) I've found a video that pretty good explains how to play by ear. Check it out! http://youtu.be/-zm9-YtDGqA
7. Do you also play songs from other artists beside R5 and Austin & Ally songs?
Yes, if I like them! But I usually don't do tutorials for songs that have already tutorials on YouTube. For me that doesn't just make sense. :)
I know. I'm sorry but actually I play the exact same speed as the original song. It may seem a bit fast. I just want you to get the main idea of how to play the song. That's what I always tell you guys. :)
9. Why did you do all songs from Louder except for "Love Me Like That"?
Because I'm still working on it. I know the chorus and the main melody but I have problems with the verses. Please be patient. Thanks! This song is freaking me out. XD
10. fkfiskdksk spanish.spanish.spanish. fjdkfkdkagkaks..
lo siento yo no comprendo español.
I'm sorry I don't speak Spanish. I never learned it in school. I'll try to understand you from what I've though myself (obviously not that much) but I will always have to answer in English. :)
11. How did you make your new intro?
I did it with a computer programm called "Adobe After Effects CC" IT'S NOT AN APP (people often ask). If you know this programm you know why I can't explain how I did it because some things are very complicated because no, I don't like templates. :)
12. What's the name of the font you used for your intro?
It's called "Kabel" from fontfabric.com and it's free. :)
13. You're covers are amazing!
Thank you! I loooove you! :D
14. Your videos are crap!
Is your question still unanswered?
