Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles 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.
