This song is unbelievably popular and to be honest I have to ask why? I actually don't like it very much because it goes out of tune in a couple of places. Unfortunately, it does on piano too; the bridge is out more than any other part of the song. I did it because I thought I could do something with it. I've only ever listened to the song about 4 times, so this version is not perfect. In one spot I slip up but just about manage to recover and make it seam like improvisation.
Those of you with a good eye and ear will notice the change in key from the original; from F Sharp Minor, to F Minor. I knew the song was in F Sharp Minor but I thought F Minor suited it a bit better. If you have seen part 1 of my tutorial I have to ask you not to bother trying to follow this because it is a completely different version, and if you do follow this and joint the 2 up then it will sound completely out of tune because of the change on key; unless you changed the key of this version to F Sharp Minor.
I am using this view over the Christmas period: the place where I usually put the tripod is now occupied by a Christmas Tree. You may also notice the tinsel around the Piano. If you don't notice that, go see your optician xD. Anyway, hope you like my version :)
