Third time's the charm, right? =P
I checked and checked and triple-checked to make sure I was learning the right key-change this time, even went and double-checked some of the synthesia tutorials here on youtube. Goodness knows I just want to move on, this song is driving me nuts XD
Also, I have learned that I'm not very fond of playing in B Major in certain circumstances, this song being one of them. XP
I've been thinking that I might set the other two uploads of this song to private, what do you all think of that idea? I'd appreciate a little feedback on this mainly because I'm thinking of doing a little bit of a purge in terms of setting all my lower-quality renditions to "unlisted" or "private" so that they don't keep clogging up my channel. Do you guys still view them? Or is it just wasted space? Please let me know! =)
Also, I actually have started learning Celestia's Ballad at this point. At the moment I'm right up to the beginning of the transformation sequence right after Celestia finishes singing. It's looking to be quite nifty if I do say so myself. ^_^
News time!
As many of you might already know I'm performing at EQLA in less than a month. That being said I'm kinda going to be hunkering down and practicing my brains out up until the convention. I have a LOT of time to fill, so I've got to have on the order of ~25-30 songs and variations of songs committed to memory by the time that hits. So I apologize if I'm a bit slow on the creation of the tutorials for these two pieces, it might take a little while to find the time.
Also, my thoughts go out to all the people in Boston effected by the bombings. Wishing you all safe goings-on in the time yet to come.
Credit for the original composition goes to Daniel Ingram, and it is definitely worth mentioning the fine folks at Hasbro, Studio B, and DHX Media at well.
9 years later and it's still rocking. The best interpretation of this song that I've ever seen :) Thumbs up.
Many thanks! :)
I really enjoy walking into the common area of our dorm and hearing you play this piece on the piano.
Its a nice touch to my crazy routine.
The nostalgia I-
2:30 is my favorite part is always Applejack's part it's catchy and I love me some country melody versions on piano?

A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
[Twilight and Fluttershy]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend
Rainbow Dash: Um, hello? Friend trapped inside, remember?
[Twilight Sparkle]
Rarity needs your help
She's trying hard, doing what she can
[Fluttershy]
Would you try, just give it a chance
You might find that you'll start to understand
[Twilight and Fluttershy]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help you see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend.
Rainbow Dash: Uh, what just happened?
Twilight Sparkle: There's no time to explain, but we need your help. Applejack's trying to make dresses!
Rainbow Dash: Say no more!
[Rainbow Dash]
Applejack needs your help
She's trying hard, doing what she can
Would you try, just give it a chance
You might find that you'll start to understand
[Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend.
Rarity: [gasps] Oh my, what a terrible dream I had. Or, maybe I'm still having it.
Twilight Sparkle: Rarity, Pinkie Pie is about to lose the apple farm. We need Applejack's help!
Rarity: Lose the apple farm? Well we can't let that happen, now can we?
[Rarity]
Pinkie Pie is in trouble
We need to get there by her side
We can try to do what we can now
For together we can be her guide
[Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light that shines from a true, true friend
Applejack: Yee-haw! Now that's more like it! What's next?
Twilight Sparkle: The townspeople are furious. We need the old Pinkie Pie back.
Applejack: I'm on it. I know just the thing.
[Applejack]
The townspeople need you
They've been sad for a while
They march around, face a-frown
And never seem to smile
And if you feel like helpin'
We'd appreciate a lot
If you'd get up there and spread some cheer
From here to Canterlot
Pinkie Pie: Come on ponies, I wanna see you SMILE!
Crowd: PINKIE!
[Main cast and crowd]
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
A friend will be there to help them see
A true, true friend helps a friend in need
To see the light! (To see the light!)
That shines! (That shines!)
From a true, true friend!

stuiggsjhi bye-bye hi son

That was amazing! Thank you for doing tutorial for this one. I cry while listening to this, I cry while playing it, I cry when thinking there probably won't be any mlp songs after season 9
This is amazing!
I come here from time to time. I don't know exactly how long it has been since I discovered this cover. Probably two years. I just wanted to thank you for that. It takes my sadness off and I just feel good. Your game is great. Ironically, in the nearly 10 years of the franchise, this song still remains my favorite
Sooooooo Amazing.
I Can't stop cry so amazing was it.
And it also brought me hope in my heart
I was a bit hyper and couldn't get to sleep. I came to listen to this, and bit by bit my eyes are starting to droop shut. It's such a perfect piece for the piano, and I love your arrangement of it.
You don't know how tempted I am to learn this lol.
this was beautiful i was going to go look for more piano covers but i could not tear myself away from it
Try viewing the left hand as the framework where-in the right hand is allowed to dance. It's primarily there to keep the beat.
Most times my right hand ends up on auto-pilot while I focus on making the left hand work. However, if my right is doing something more strenuous like octaves then I'm almost always doing the opposite. But one hand or another is pretty much constantly on auto-pilot for me when I play.
You could always invest in a practice keyboard so that you can use headphones.
Bravo!! Yours and DJ-Delta-0's versions are very good!! I like how yours sounds like it's being done in a large hall. Very well done!
this is REALLY REALLY nice....my little girl sang so many times again and again...thank you so much!!
I don't know how long it's been since I watched this video, but bravo! Really sir, please continue your magnificent work. I would still love to hear a feels collection version of this.
Great job again!
Personally I only watch your highest quality uploads, so I think setting your other ones to unlisted is just fine.
Yup, for a while I had been pondering over my adaptation of Rarity's verse as well.
I can tell you with absolute certainty that I have taken measures to make sure my tutorial portrays this verse correctly. I can also say that this slight alteration will not be pushing back it's release! =)
Unfortunately this means that *cringes* this cover is not entirely correct as well, but I'll probably leave this up and cover that updated version if I'm able to somehow make this a "Feels Collection" song =P
Until a tutorial is made, I'll learn from this by ear; I feel it's possible. Really, awesome job man. :D
Damn I remember when I learned this song from you on 2014, then I watch it again it's likr :')
I feel ya dude.
Every now and then I go back and listen to a few videos I have done on my channel and long for the same drive I once had. After 3 years of school and having lost my recording software at the beginning of those 3 years the fandom kept going while I couldn't continue contributing. One day I'm sure I'll find a new outlet for my musical side, and maybe then the forges will be rekindled for my channel. For now though, It lays silent. It continues making impacts on people not unlike yourself, and that continues to make me happy. If I inspired just one person to want to play music from the 100+ videos I made, then to me my channel has been a success so far.

Did you watch/like the Gen 5 movie? I'm still working on learning Celestia's Ballad, thanks so much for the music (and sheets) that you've put up.
Such a beautiful composition, please keep it up.
This is SO beautiful !
You have a special talent i start crying i am so happy
Dr sentenial thank you so much for the sheet music, after a lot of hard work i learned true true friend :D
Beautifully played
That was wonderful ^^
Come on everypony ! A true true friend helps a friend in need ;)
This is just amazing, I wish you could do all of the others...
keep going like that ^^
This is the best cover I've heard! Awesome job :D Might I ask what kind of keyboard you are using?
MyLittlePony🎉
MyLittlePony🎉
this is so lovely
This is truely one of the best piano songs i have ever heard.
yes, I think you should put the others to private, because this is the best one! Let everybody see this one. Beautifully played, once again.
Amazing;) Really well done and keep going!
TwT So beautiful. I love it.
I love it 😻
What I do is teach myself to such a degree that I feel confident I can actually teach someone how to play it. Creating tutorials like I do also helps solidify songs in my head because I have to know the songs in and out. The majority of MLP songs I learn these days I learn by ear, not from preexisting sheets, so I can make them as complicated or simple as I please.
Also, meta info for recording covers: Have a nice keyboard w/ direct audio feed to comp, have video and audio editing software =P
You're so talented! I wish I could play like you :D I'm still learning your Giggle at the Ghosties song. The timing on part 2 is taking me a while, plus the fact that I don't have my own piano at home ._.
A great cover for a great song!
That's kinda my guess too, and if it is then I'm completely comfortable in saying that I am indeed learning "Helping Twilight Win the Crown" (see Project Progress Meter for details). I'm actually pretty much done learning it at this point, just waiting to get caught up on tutorials before I record it =P
Plus waiting gives me that nice little grace window of "Should I keep tweaking the song or am I happy with it?", so I'm kinda happy I'm waiting a little and practicing it more =)
this is very nice, excellent job! I'm learning this on ukulele and having a lot of trouble with the key change to sound right :/
Good luck at EQLA! I'm sure you'll be a blast!
the hat is very good :) have not heard anything so beautiful :)
Loving it !
Sweet Celestia above that was beautiful.
Absolutely lovely, and I applaud your skills. One of your chord choices at the end of the chorus doesn't sound quite right though, can't put my finger on it. Anyway, great work on a great song!
This is very cool!! U did great! ^^
Is there any other sounds besides the piano? Is it strings I hear? :3
I really love this!!
Amazing. Can't wait for the tutorial :P
This was always my favorite song in MLP FIM.
Good Job mate :D this is amazing
this is amazing
This a so much beautiful!
You are awesome and I wished I could play near as Good as you. Sad enough I don't have the time or the tutor to help me. Continue your awesome work!
Awesome dude!
2:00 Beautiful!!!!!
Good job man ! I love it :D

Simply Amazing! :D
AWESOME!
My fav mlp song
Fantastic job! It sounds kinda Christmasy to me.
So Good!!!!
omg that was beautiful
Beautiful! :D
Awesome!
Try exerting the smallest amount of effort to hit the keys you need to hit. Unless you are trying to make something over-dramatic during a performance there's no real reason to over-exaggerate your keystrokes.
Playing both hands together slowly and then speeding it up as you play it more is definitely a way to acquire the competency to play both hands simultaneously. It is, sorry to say, one of those things that requires a good deal of practice. But the more you practice the easier it should get
I love this song, and you play very well ❤️🩹
ho my god this is The most awesome song offerte mlp that i've Heard dude, i Hope that you Make a Cover of The film song x3
ermagerd it's so beautiful

Talent is perfect!😄😄😄😄
I love your piano talent
Awsome!!!
What voices were you using here? I have a MOX8 too and it sounds rather nice :)
I'm only using "Piano Back". It's a few clicks below all the other main piano voices.
Oh, ok... seems to have a bit more reverb than normal... sounds nice :D
My third fav song mlp fim good jobe /)
This is awesome, only criticism is work with a metronome. Props!
Beautiful, really. Just a bit of constructive criticism here. The melody on Rarity's part is off. Not the entire part though, "for together we can be her guide" sounds right. ^^
I hear improvement! :D
