Bad Apple!! ft. Nomico - Insultingly Easy Piano Tutorial

I'm sorry the bars aren't going down especially smoothly, I couldn't find a way to improve it after about an hour of trying. =( I'm also sorry for any irregularities in the rhythm, I assure you they occurred in Synthesia's playback and are not irregularities in the MIDI or the sheet music.

That said, here is my guide to playing Bad Apple on Piano.

Click here to download the Skullkid3 Bad Apple Piano Pack! (Features: Bad Apple Sheet Music .pdf file, Bad Apple MIDI file and Bad Apple MuseScore file)

Things I encourage:
Videos of people playing this version of Bad Apple.
Videos of people improving this version of Bad Apple.
If you make videos based off this, please link them to me, I'd be delighted to see them!

Things I do not encourage:
Comments complaining about video quality, I'm not a video expert, and I apologise for that. However, I still feel that the video serves its intended purpose.

Comments about how the simplicity makes the song sound dull/not as interesting, since the focus of this is to provide what I consider to be an easily-playable version of the piece. If you want a more complex version, maybe take this as a base and adapt it, or search for more advanced tutorials, they're definitely out there!

Enjoy!

Bad Apple originally composed by ZUN
Bad Apple ft. Nomico arranged by Masayoshi Minoshima (I think...)

Blimey, that's a long description...

First playable synthesia bad apple song ive ever seen!!!

[danielsjohnson]

this is not insultingly easy, this is simply playable. Thanks anyway for the video :)

[SwiftIllusionMT]

This is NOT something I expected to see you upload, but dang am I happy you did anyway!, Absolutely love this song do death and beyond, getting to hear it's pure music with a download including the midi file and all, thanks :D!

Even though I couldn't remember 3 notes and can't move my fingers quick enough to possibly play this song, awesome upload, and well done continuing to be epic :D.

Thanks for this video! I have no experience in playing piano, or even learned how to read a music sheet, but I've managed to learn this in about 3 weeks (and hours of practice) and it was worth it! :D

Bad apple is either too easy or too impossible

[The_valerieforever]

Ever on and on I continue circling
With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony
Till slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing
And suddenly I see that I can't break free—
I'm

Slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity
With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony
To tell me who I am, who I was
Uncertainty enveloping my mind
Till I can't break free
And

Maybe it's a dream; maybe nothing else is real
But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel
So I'm tired of all the pain, all the misery inside
And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night
You can tell me what to say; you can tell me where to go
But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know
If I make another move there'll be no more turning back
Because everything will change and it all will fade to black
Will tomorrow ever come? Will I make it through the night?
Will there ever be a place for the broken in the light?
Am I hurting? Am I sad? Should I stay, or should I go?
I've forgotten how to tell. Did I ever even know?
Can I take another step? I've done everything I can
All the people that I see I will never understand
If I find a way to change, if I step into the light
Then I'll never be the same and it all will fade to white




Ever on and on I continue circling
With nothing but my hate in a carousel of agony
Till slowly I forget and my heart starts vanishing
And suddenly I see that I can't break free—
I'm

Slipping through the cracks of a dark eternity
With nothing but my pain and the paralyzing agony
To tell me who I am, who I was
Uncertainty enveloping my mind
Till I can't break free
And

Maybe it's a dream; maybe nothing else is real
But it wouldn't mean a thing if I told you how I feel
So I'm tired of all the pain, all the misery inside
And I wish that I could live feeling nothing but the night
You can tell me what to say; you can tell me where to go
But I doubt that I would care, and my heart would never know
If I make another move there'll be no more turning back
Because everything will change and it all will fade to black
If I make another move, if I take another step
Then it all would fall apart. There'd be nothing of me left
If I'm crying in the wind, if I'm crying in the night
Will there ever be a way? Will my heart return to white?
Can you tell me who you are? Can you tell me where I am?
I've forgotten how too see; I've forgotten if I can
If I opened up my eyes there'd be no more going back
'Cause I'd throw it all away and it all would fade to black

Finally one that I can play *tears of happiness*

[skullkidLPs]

I hadn't really considered it that way...I think any time I learn to do something I immediately assume everyone else can do it, but you raise a good point.

I'll try to rework some of the description, though I might leave the title as is, just for humour's sake, and besides, it IS still a much simpler version than many of the others I have seen. =)

[beelee]

finally found the sheet music I was looking for and nice vids

[christianlui]

Finally I learned this after 3 days!! :)

[ramens]

I’ve been practicing this recently and it’s pretty fun to play.

[gelialastea]

Thanks for the tutorial, learned the song by 1 hour ^-^

[keikomenhera]

[indy]

[jessylee]

Finally I Found An easy 1! And therefore i will learn this easily!

[chamberofemily]

lol, everyone's saying that this looks hard. Believe me, compared to other Bad Apple synthesia's I've seen out there, this is EXTREMELY easy.

[thehigster]

Thanks for this, I'm trying to learn Bad Apple on the guitar by converting it into tabs and this definitely helped! ^_^

[huyuu]

This seems easy, I'm going to try to learn it.

[heteromeles]

DUDE YOU ARE AWESOME! I have Synthesia too. :)
