Ray Charles - Hit the Road Jack - Wild Piano Version

[KarloKopfweh]

All I can say to this Vid is : Perfect. <3

[mainevent34]

Die you learn this song from sheet music first then start to play off ear or did you learn this song off ear and then become a lil more creative with it?

[BMullerH]

Thas Amazing! look to my channel, i have some covers there

[MICKEYMOUSE1813]

[herosflute]

buddha would be proud

[cristianmurano]

[erikstrup]

I've listened to this pippomagic 50 times. Perhaps even more. I LOVE it!

[pippomusic]

@erikstrup

thanks!

[th3azscorpio]

this guy can really play, he's workin those keys. I wish I could play like that

[csm120]

@mypiesisname thank you, but i'm not in that life anymore

[KicsiJordan]

sooo crazyyyy :D

[teunv111]

too much awsomness!

[bla7091]

Watched it some time before, months later and after seeing other stuff I realise how awesome this version is!!!!

[lolspyros]

Best improv I ever seen,it's awesome !!!

I think that you can do something like that with song: Walk don't run by the ventures

[svabaku]

Absolutely perfect, best piano improv I've heard in a while :-) And the tapping noise in the beginning made me laugh :-)))

[zukabamba]

Bravissimo!! Non potevi che essere italiano!! ;-)

[StonerBadass]

This improv. not only moved my soul, it was the most truely masterful showing of skill on piano, my hat goes off to you.

[shadyx310]

this is just amazing

[csm120]

Musicians don't need to tap the time. But you're good.

[pippomusic]

@csm120

thank you

I think musicians do play the way they prefer :)

[silv3rboss]

@pippomusic Ooo, it is not true.. search on youtube: Ray Charles - Have Piano Will Travel ... and go to min. 3:47 :D

[pippomusic]

@silv3rboss

ahahah you are right! I guess Ray had to use shoes at concerts, but flipflops do sound much better :D

[silv3rboss]

@pippomusic Yaa ;D

[MobileDjSC]

@csm120 He was just feelin it ass hole!

[csm120]

@MobileDjSC What the hell is the matter with you? Relax! The pianist himself didn't care, and I didn't say that he was lame, I only said that because at some point it's a bit annoying.

[MobileDjSC]

@csm120 then why did you make the real musician comment in the first place.

[personman123456789]

it gives me goose bumps!!!!

[kaypora157]

man if u keep on the hit the road and the solo , it would be aaaamazing

[kaypora157]

i want to play '-'

[MistPlankton8]

1:58 -2:25 this isn't hit the road jack, this is your own song! I love it, please make piano sheet for this part!

If you were able to play this piece like this, I'm sure you would manage to listen to your own playing and write piano notes by ear. Please!

[pippomusic]

@MistPlankton8

ahahah yes I was definitely improvising :)

would take me days and days to write down that score (actually I almost can't read music) but I will make a video tutorial about the impro technique :)

subscribe to my channel ;)

all the best

Filippo

[personman123456789]

you have to give me lessons or sheet music if its possible

pleazzz?

[MySonjador]

hihi...you´re really a freak ;)

great playing!!!

you´re so crazy :D i like it

[blqkvo]

if Ray Charles could posses people, it`d be you!

[XxGonixXFAN]

This is amazingly good, I can't stop listening to it!

[tulipan16]

[android10xD]

[pippomusic]

@P4ine

Thnk you :) thats a superfrigian scale in E, fits very very well to give an "arabic" twist to stuff in A-

[chiaraliber]

Hey man you're a monster!!!!

How long do you play?

[pippomusic]

@chiaraliber

thank you :) I play since when I can remember... there was always a piano at home...

[Lemady]

Self Version always the best ![2]

[MobileDjSC]

[MobileDjSC]

@MobileDjSC Well gimme about a month and ill have it down

[Bugsy0586]

holy shit man you are crazy...i like your way...;)

[TheMarkyd]

AMAZING!!!

[bla7091]

I like jazzy versions of this song but it's mad hard to play on a guitar =|

[ZELENOVTZ]

Self Version always the best !

[aukejwi]

I like the flipflops particularly

[Biondopazzo6]

U Are Simply GREAT!!!.. =D

Thank your for sharing my friend

[lolopo8]

pleas make more videos like this i hope so

[lolopo8]

man it was amazing you are jesus on the piano

[ZELENOVTZ]

NIce one

[Psitopa8hs]

eey eey why is everyone asking for tutorials/ sheet music? cmon ppl this is HIS version of the song.... make your own.... playing HIS version will just MAYBE make youre technique a LITTLE better, whereas if you make your OWN version, built up by LISTENING to the actual song AND other versions of it (such as this), gettin ideas from arround, and tryin to fix them into something good, will make, FOR SURE, an ENOURMOUS +++ to your playin as a pianist.

[woogieman007]

Well Said Mate I Am Not The Best Piano Player In The World But I Would Like To Think I Was Different To Everyone Else I Do Things My Music Teacher Can Not Teach Like Off Beat. This Young Man Playing Has Is Own Style. It Would Be Grate But Boring If He Played It Like Ray. And If Ray Had Played It Like Him It Would Not Be The Same Grate Tune It Is Today.

[jefersonvilaede]

really cool

[mekenyo]

AMAZING skill of playing the piano!!!

[vergil627]

dude you are an amazing pianist!!!! if you have the sheet music PLEASE send it to me your version is ridiculously good

[pippomusic]

Thank you :) no sheet music sadly, was all improvised...

as soon as my brothers returns the video camera I will post a tutorial :)

ciao!

[LILLILSOUL]

How many fingers do U have??

You are so fly!!!

I love this version than original.

[magicmedia97]

: )

[Sindis1994]

You msut make tutorial for this ;P thats the best version of hit the road jack on youtube by far:)

[onions11]

that was totally amazing

loved every bit of that!!!!

[goodarzi]

i really liked ur version,

wat make and model is ur piano, is it digital, because it has a very loud, bright sound

[pippomusic]

yes thats a kawai concert artist...

fantastic... wooden mechanics, real hammers, and unlike other digital pianos, keys are HARD, and you got to work really hard with your fingers :)

I love it... in my opinion is the closest digital experience to a real grandpiano...

[goodarzi]

a Kawai CA91 im guessing

[xeezoca]

awesome

[5hads]

briliant but u ruined it by tapping your foot

[dudleyfikon]

agreed

[purplefanatic2]

cool i guess

[Sux0rs]

Simply exelent..

[poupou77]

fucking A dude!!! great job!

[suxxxez]

yay, blues-piano ;)

good job ;)

[bejkon116]

ou thank you very much...

[laceythepoon]

you where made for music!

[bejkon116]

hi i love your video can you please tell the notes you playing in 0:39 --- 0:41 please

[pippomusic]

mhhhh... 0.39-0.41....

I gues its simple triads...

e#,d,c

e#,d,c

e#,d,c

e#,d,c

when you hit e#, hit lower A at the same time...

I dont have a pino in front of me so I cant check it now, but I am 99% sure :)

[rakeliisilva]

can you please tell me the notes when you play only with the right hand beetween 40-44 seconds?

[pippomusic]

ehhh not easy to say :)

I improvise on a base scale made of:

a,c,d,d#,e,g,g#,a

then when it "returns"

I use an E major scale in "return" mode, that means using an F colour

e,f,g#,a,b,c,d

The last chord I guess is an E7

not too hard though when you practice the logic...

[rakeliisilva]

thanks. you're great

[americkibosanac]

that sounded so fuckin awesome

[missapple91]

woooooow !! this is the beeest piano rendition i've found so far on youtube !! awsome !

[mocoyoyomocoyoyo]

BIEN

[Feanorlike]

You're my god =D

[H3retic]

The slapping of your slipper kind of ruined it for me. xD The piano play, on the other hand, is quite godlike. :|

[Sophie11Iris12]

You are here a little weird.. But you play beautiful !! <3

[koenigseggccr007]

only 3 stars? men this is worth 5 stars.

[Beezqp]

Omg <3 is a heart...

[laurieddhru]

U ARE GOD WHEN U PLAY!!!WOW!!

[AcHteRBaHN8D]

you look like your from the ku klux clan xDD

[Psitopa8hs]

LOL!!!

[keinerhatsonennick]

[rsdiogao]

esse maluco toca muito...parabens...hehehe

[bejkon116]

[DonKB030]

really great. could you hurry up with the tutorial? i gotta play a hit the road jack improv in februari so i want to learn from you:P

[jessedaan]

Yeah!!!

Hahaha!

This is good man?!

[woogieman007]

I Am Still Speachless So I Don't Know What To Say! I Have To Send This Message, Or I Never Will. I Don't Get Like This.

You Are A Lucky Man To Play Like God.

[pippomusic]

wow :) thank you... you are generous...

[H3retic]

That's just plain awesome.

[pt23220c]

Good God man; Ray is smilin' at you from way up on high!

[realslaps]

yeah it does lol sound hella hard

[realslaps]

sheetmusic if you do can u send it to me?

[crazypianolady]

mmmm yeah me too, but I'm guessing he won't as it sounds like improv

[pippomusic]

Sorry but yes its totally impro.... but its a quite easy scheme... will try to make a tutorial but can't find a way to properly show my hands... have to get organized with a camera stand :) at the moment I keep it on a shelf and find the right angle putting cd covers underneath :D very very very happy you liked it :) thanks for the nice comments

[Radro]

oh yes, i'd really appreciate a tutorial! i probably have to get more into chords, and improvisation and stuff, because i'm just into classic.

[LOKISPOKIS]

[ahaaajoker]

[ballacutie13]

[BVJ789]

[pippomusic]

Thanks to everybdy :) I am really glad u like my after-shower impro...

[Lindalejjj]

This is great!! Wow! :-D

[lashiya76]

I like it. Keep playing pippomusic, you have fun with playing and your friends and family have fun with hearing, don't they? ;)I realy like yor music. Thank youf or sharing.

[RobinChaoz]

This is the most fantastic impro I've ever seen. You don't look for which keys you're playing neither you listen with much attention to the melody you just feel it in your fingers. Blues in your veins, man!!! keep improing

[annakolodziejczyk]

*hypnotized by the sound* @_@

[k1ngAtjeh]

OMG, this is awesome

[Psitopa8hs]

how many years did it take you? cuz im on 11th year of piano now and... i can BARELY follow you on this improv... well i always found it easier to build my own stuff than follow others but this is what one could call "hard to keep up"

[pippomusic]

ciao, thank you for your comment :)

well I am 36 and I play the piano since when I can remember... I am self tought and there was always a piano at my parents place since when I was born... keep it up :)

[Doodlez83]

Wow. You can really tell you're self-taught. In a good way. I was amazed how many risks you were willing to take on this piece, which you wouldn't see very often from someone who learned on scales and Ode to Joy

[sykes2477]

Waaaaaw!!! Great job!!

[barcarmenia]

AWESOME!

[ashcroft8]

I'm blown away !!!!! WOW

[KiteDaze]

fantastic!

[pippomusic]

thank you very much :)

[jossy97]

i think you should do a tutorial because i would love to learn it because i dance ballroom and we have this song for the swing please do a tutorial

[LemonTreeFemke]

Really good!

[Violist11]

OMG! You make me want to learn piano so bad! I already learn viola so I am stil to busy for it though! But AMAZING! :D

[pippomusic]

thank you :)

[koenigseggccr007]

IN which chord do you play this piece?

Not sure if the word for toonladder (=ducth) chord is, but I mean with which note you start in your left hand. is that a a or some other note? please reply

[pippomusic]

hi :)

it's an A minor, very simple scale... A, G, F, E. Then it stays in E/F for a while... follow the notes is really easy...

[koenigseggccr007]

right, I play it in the same scale (that is the word! :P ) hmm. I'm very jalous cause you play so easy and good. Could you tell me by when you start to play E/F only?

[pippomusic]

no probs :) if you notice at the beginning, when it makes a very long scale going up, thats where it stays in E/F. At the end of the 4 shords progression. The last chord is an E7, and if you stay in that tonality for a while you can play around with a different scale... listen carefully you will notice ;)

[koenigseggccr007]

and what do you play in your left hand?

[pippomusic]

just that chords sequence... A-, G, F, E

E could also be E7 or E9dim

just finbd the scales, and follow your instinct ;)

[pippomusic]

just that chords sequence... A-, G, F, E

E could also be E7 or E9dim

just finbd the scales, and follow your instinct ;)

[koenigseggccr007]

and do you only play A,G,G and E or also other base notes in your left hand, cause that was more what I was trying to ask :P

[pippomusic]

I play so many notes with my left hand... just listen to the music and chase them ;)

[koenigseggccr007]

right, I will. XD

[koenigseggccr007]

ofcourse I don't have to say: keep it up, cause I can see you enjoy playing very much!

[koenigseggccr007]

good job, I'm impressed! 5/5 keep it up

[klavierbraut]

cool also wirklich jatzt erst traurig un dann legst du los hammma

[Dealinfreak1]

I've seen crap that had half a million views, this deserves just as many as the original version

[herosflute]

you rock

[Psitopa8hs]

lol you get 1 mil views on any crappy or not (no diff) guitar solo and this gets only ALMOST 5k.... ah.. commercials

[Psitopa8hs]

nice to see some musician in youtube finally!!!!!! not bad AT ALL. makes me chill down after seeing about 8 other versions. what i like is that yours is not following anything, just as i would do. are you improvising or have you made it up before you played it?

[pippomusic]

ciao :)

thanks for that! just improvisation... fingers and spirit together...

[musicandmeyaz]

this is beautiful...I wish I could play like this one day!

[indrii]

amazing! Did you arrange it by yourself?

[ling816]

insegnante ti sto vedendo con i miei amici qui a hk e a loro piace tantissimo la tua musica. ti voglio bene bene bene. bravissimo caro!

[blootybird]

oh my, such a talent! Are these ordinary notes or how did you get them? I'm looking right now but don't know what version I should look for, I want the one you played. So good!

[Kraian]

bravo! veramente bravo .. complimenti

[lucaimpe]

a santoccio!!!!!!!!! luca

[robyn241]

you are so amazing, this is a definate favourite. love this lol look at you youre so cool

[1PianoJo1]

Hi,

not a bad perfomance. I play Piano,too, and I can just say to improve your style:

Try the stride bass line..it works greatly with Jack:D

Secondly your "fan" in the background should clap on 2 and 4, not on 1 and 3..

But go on, youre a great guy!
