AmyWings Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hey friends ! So, I'm willing to learn as many Mika songs on my keyboard as I can in order to do singing covers. That means I'm trying to find tutorials on how Mika plays his songs on the piano while singing because I can only find either extremely easy or too complicated covers / tutorials and it really frustrates me. Plus, there's often nothing about songs that are 'less' famous like Billy Brown or Toy Boy, though they're mostly piano Has any of you ever found a way to see what Mika plays while he's singing? I'm really desperate Uhh there's so many acoustic and live videos showing Mika playing but I never could see exactly what he's doing it's so infuriating haha !

dilarat Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Hii Yes, it is hard to find, unfortunately. And this is what I want,too. Usually I find vocal notes which I dont like :/ In terms of this, Grace Kelly is a good choice because its accoustic version is easy to find I couldnt find Billy Brown or Toy Boy either. But I figured out Stuck In The Middle from concert videos and some videos on the net. The other ones that I play are Happy Ending, Last Party, We Are Golden and Grace Kelly. I managed to play those by using the same method. Sometimes piano tutorials are not exactly true, so I listened and watched gigs and mixed all of them. About the other songs I only know some parts of them, but not entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you give me some of the links you used for those songs whenever you have time please? The struggle is real I searched for Underwater a lot, I can play untill the chorus but the videos that I saw werent correct for chorus. It wasnt the same as the record. How could you find it? It's been a long time actually, and now I dont have the links... And also, I guess some videos were removed because I couldnt find them again. But I am sure there are still some(well I hope ) I'll try to find them again and if I manage then I'll post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyolivier Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Don't know how much help this is (as I don't know enough about playing Piano to know LOL) but he plays a bit of BBB on an old piano at 6:20 here (ajD6Exr_hBM), and you can see his hands quite well, so you might be able to pull what notes he's playing off of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working on it ! The process of actually having it all together is harder than the actual learning haha ! I got most of the song but it's hard getting the two hands together especially when 1/5 of it is me improvising from scratch / videos I see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilarat Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 These are some videos that I used. I cannot find all of them sorry and I had to change some parts from the videos simce the notes were not exactly true. For stuck in the middle, it is impossible to give a reference, because I watched so many things while improving it. But if you need, I can make a video of how I play. And it is ok for other songs, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
