  • Part 2 of the Fur Elise tutorial. The part we're going to be learning today sounds like

  • this.And it will repeat from there. Okay but I'm just going to show you the part before

  • it repeats and you can just repeat it on your own. So you've just come out of the first

  • part and you're going to start by playing this B and you're going to play white notes

  • straight up B C D E. Okay? Now while you're doing that, once you hit that E with your

  • right hand, B C D E now as soon as you hit that E you're going to play a C with your

  • left hand and you're basically rolling up C G an C. And this pattern you're going to

  • see - something like this- in a couple of other spots so hopefully you'll remember this

  • shape sort of. C G and C. So here's that little first part.Okay? That's pretty straight forward.

  • Then you're going to come down here with your right thumb and play a G and you're going

  • to jump up to an F - not a whole octave, just to this F. So you've got like this... G F

  • E D. So what you really should see here is this G and then this group of three that starts

  • with this F, because what's going to happen is for the next part it's going to be that

  • shape shifted down. So for three in a row, if you can just see this shape you'll get

  • a lot futher. So G F E D alright? So lets do a really quick review. G C now a G with

  • my right hand, F up here and walk down. Now when I hit this D with my right hand, I'm

  • going to play octave Gs so this G down here with my left hand, up an octave and I'm going

  • to cross my finger over and play a B. Okay, that's a little bit tricky. Okay, so we've

  • got C G C G in my right hand. F walk down, when I hit this D I'm playing Gs, cross over.

  • And then your right hand plays an F E D C so it's that shape again - F E D C when I

  • play this C with my right hand my left hand is going to play like this A kinda outline

  • an A minor chord so we;ve got A E and A. Okay? And then you're going to jump down here with

  • your right hand and continue that pattern a little bit more. You're going to play an

  • E and then come up to a D. E D C B alright? And once you hit this B, your left hand is

  • going to play to play a low E and we're going to talk about what happens after that right

  • after we review because something that is a little bit different happens there. So,

  • let's do a quick review. B C D E as soon as I hit this E I'm going to play C in my left

  • hand G C, come down here grab a G up to the F, walk down to Gs octaves jumping here, cross

  • over, F E D as soon as I hit this C I do an A minor. E D C B. Now once I hit this B I'm

  • going to play this. So let's talk about what is going on there. I play it slightly different

  • from the way it's written in the music, by the way if you aren't away you can download

  • the music it's in the link below - totally free. So basically the music is written to

  • have your left hand play E and then E an octave higher and then E an octave higher all with

  • your left hand - like that. And then you would double here. But I actually think it's easier

  • to play this E twice with your right thumb instead of moving so much - I try to minimize

  • moving. So you've got E - I wanna show you my way, if you want to do it the way it's

  • written, go ahead - but you've got E an octave higher E in your left hand. Then your right

  • hand is going to play an E an octave higher twice. So watch: one one two and then up to

  • this E with your right hand - so just the first one two three four five notes are like

  • this. Okay? Now, after you do that, you're going to bring your left hand over and sort

  • of put it over where your right hand was and double up with the left right, you know low

  • E high E and so it's like this. By having your left hand switch over and come in right

  • on top of that, you can get kind of this cool stuttery pattern. Okay? And as soon as your

  • left hand comes over and plays that E E, your right hand is already getting ready to play

  • this E after your left thumb plays that high E. So you've got this low E high E with your

  • left thumb, and your right hand is going to come right on top, play that E and the E above.

  • So watch, ready? Low E - I'll do it really slow. Okay so that's that little run. You

  • practice slow and you get fast. I also recommend a little bit of the right sustain pedal as

  • your moving through that to help disguise any little weirdnesses. Okay so as soon as

  • you get done with that little pattern, you're going to move into this part that sounds like

  • this. It's sort of like a way to get you back into sort of into the groove. So you've got

  • those Es and your left hand is going to immediately pick up this D shape and alternate between

  • D sharp and E. And your right hand is going to take over and do the same thing. D sharp

  • to E, left hand again and then your right hand is going to take over. Okay? So let me

  • show you really slow. Left hand, right hand, left hand, right hand. And then you repeat

  • from there, so you'll see that you basically go right back in to a part that should look

  • pretty darn familiar if you've studied the first video in this tutorial. So if this is

  • confusing, I recommend starting with the first one and making sure you get that part down

  • because we're recycling a part. But anyway, this D sharp to E, D sharp to E, D sharp to

  • E and then right hand takes over. And it does that Fur Elise pattern that you should probably

  • know by now, and as soon as you hit this you're going to start that pattern with the left

  • hand - just like in the first video. And here's the one little difference. Now in the first

  • video you would repeat that pattern again but in this section you're going to repeat

  • the part that I just taught you. You see how I'm going from instead of going back into another one of these like you do in the

  • first section - that's how you repeat the first section - the second section has a slightly

  • different repeat. So I'm going to show you a really quick review of what we just learned

  • and then you're going to have to go practice. So you've got this part. F cross over. Es.

  • Left hand right hand left hand right hand. Sort of a short repeat section here. Yeah

  • and so the only other thing you need to know there is that the very end, the end of the

  • section, you're going to sort of like leave it hanging. So you've just done this... so

  • you hear how I'm just sort of leaving it hanging there, that's because the next part, the next

  • part that we're learning jumps out of there, okay? So that's the tutorial. Take your time

  • and go slow. It take a little bit of time to get used to this stuff. I really hope this

  • helped you. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe and I'll see you later for tutorial

  • number three.
