Piano: Five for Fighting, Bruce Hornsby, Van Halen, A Ha!

[kwixotic]

@krispinz....though you made your comment three years back, I gotta disagree when you say he wasn't playing by ear because it "lacked passion and feeling".

I do both and see there's no correlation at all.

[ilickcrack]

u rip man

[vanhalenmk]

Jump by VH :) !!!!!!

[kjfconstruct]

holy f-ing crap-this was amazing!!

[Surferdad58]

Great job on some fantastic selections ! Thanks for some really memorable themes and pop anthems.

[queensryche8723]

[hamsterman42]

Youve got to write that version of Come On Eileen down. I've been trying to play it by ear but it is really bad. I need to play it like you

[crystalfire782]

"100 years to live" was fanominal. i love that song.

[54spiritedwill54]

BRILLIANT.

[killa7245]

[bayley5150]

[EnglishPen]

Hey, thanks for making this available again! I couldn't watch it for about 3 months! Glad its back, this is awesome!

[ckashmir]

great!

I play the piano too and I am learning some of those songs

[jakalaka998]

that was great. watch your tempo, the way it is was a bit fast. otherwise, great!!!

[amolamo]

van halen was kick ass

[micke8]

Awesome. I wish I had only 10% of your talent.

[tammapo]

Dude, that was awesome! I don't much care for the Backstreet Boys, but anyone who can do Van Halen like that is OK in MY book!

[ThompsonStudios]

amazing!!!

[boldknight11]

u rock take out the bsb song tho

[binhouuu]

[FishingtonBurpPuzzle]

It's so cool when a superstar poses as an amateur on Youtube!

[thecoldmoon]

[Oppdal77]

Bravo!

You're really good.

I wonder how fast you can play Billy Joel's Rootbeer Rag

[gordo39432]

hahaha yess that's a tough one.

[mcsjwu]

AWESOME

[jranner]

this kicks ass man. righteous.

[froschi]

que chingon eres!!!!

[artnorcia]

Parabéns ! Voce toca muito bem e tem muito bom gosto, só não conheço o BSB.

Deus o abençoe.

Alexandre

[kaox44]

Why didn't you play the BSB version a bit better?

[subarchetta]

Nice, I like all those songs except for the Backstreet Boys one. Had you added Tom Sawyer in by Rush though, I would have loved it. Then again, there isn't much to play for Tom Sawyer.

[LeedsLunatic]

BRILLIANT.

[eshishishi]

wow :]

[1982crew]

hey krispinz, retard, it sounds great. If you were bored, find some other freakin vid to watch instead of posting crap. And the fact that he play's by reading notes has no correlation to him not playing with any feeling, that's on an individual level.

[NERDFREAKINGPOWER]

playing by just reading notes is a term musicians use for only playing the notes and not the emotions or dynamics, i guess it was amatuer but i have to agree with krispinz that it lacked emotion and dynamics

[NERDFREAKINGPOWER]

[jonblock]

I didn't really practice or anything... I was bored during thanksgiving. The cheap video camera i used don't really do it justice.. but i wasn't trying to impress anybody either. I was just playing for fun so I decided to throw it up here.

[hotloadpumper]

wow you are good....thank you for sharing

[dutchforces]

pretty good, but from time to time you don't get the speed right, but its nice to hear i must say

[krispinz]

Playing lacked passion and feeling. I was bored. Obviously plays by reading notes and not by ear. Technically sound but not emotionally engaging.

[Shassouneh]

AWESOME! Must say the Bruce Hornsby part was very well done.

[eleyash]

great show! :D

[bigtruckindaddy]

im a huge bruce hornsby fan.... great job... i wish i could play like that

[nkratm]

nice bruce cover

[petermcf1968]

Thankyou, you obviously put some hard work into that and you deserve recognition. Well done.

[MeoCaroline]

Simply magnificent. I thought the '100years' was a bit cliche, though. But, what a great medley.

[boooohoo9]

wow...do you have sheet music or do you figure these out by ear????

[cfrost]

love it!

[batchomuffins45]

DONT SING YOU RUIN IT LIKE THAT

[petermcf1968]

shhh...don't shout - you'll ruin it for everyone ...

[lestodante]

love it!

[pinoy22x]

my favorite songs out of it was 100 years by five for fighting and 1000 miles by vannessa carlton, hey u should make a video playing five for fighting's song the riddle i just want someone to have just a piano vid on it cause thats wht i wanna listen to :3

[Keranu]

[KEYSONGS]

[bertineke]

[mikeswelsh]

[feanor22]

Van Halen + Aha! Right on dude!

Great work, and so naturally

[ST0CKI]

Excellent Job I know how to play a few of them songs. I very much enjoyed, "That's the way it is." very well played.

[rockinraffi]

Wish I could play the piano like that, buddy..That was great!

[Annumaria]

[roob67]

[Braveheart1984]

[jimster83]

Nice Video. Check out some of my band's videos, we cover Bruce Hornsby.

[alexboss21]

MARE BOCCIU !

[truckerclock22]

Wow....unbelievable...how long would it take to be able to play a quarter this good? I've always wanted to learn piano...parents said no...

[Kingkatt1]

Try to find a way and do it. Follow what you are drawn to - the time it takes to learn will be a great ride!

[emjtarheels]

Great job. I liked the way it is best. Bruce hornsby is a great artist and so are you.

[Eterna7]

you are really talented man ! fantastic

[kwixotic]

Are you doin' this all by ear? If so, it's rather impressive.

[echoDD]

hey! loved come on eileen! good job!

[EvanTaylorWebb]

I enjoyed this.

[busfreak5945]

Unreal!  Excellent job. Wish I could play like that. Best of all, they're the same songs I love!

[andyglive]

Flawless effort fella. Keep it up.

[jedi1991]

you have talent, dude

[skill13815]

OMG where can I find sheets for Come on Eileen?! that was awesome and I want to learn it. Great job btw.

[chickfitz]

honey you gave me goose bumps!! im impatient now to go learn them all!! you're class, well done

[jumpinglegacy]

I totally love this- I have it favourited and listen to it while I'm at work. A couple of these songs are ones I try to play, but I don't think anything like THAT is in my foreseeable future!

[cyberwaffles]

hey, could you do Cars by Gary Numan? allways thought the keyboards in that sounded cool

[dmbfans101]

All that learnin from the back of a matchbook cover, Money well spent.

[jimmershaw]

Bruce Hornsby solo was shocking...

[anagrama74]

VERY WELL BRAVO

[mikosoft]

Very good work at the Bruce Hornsby solo. Also liked the Jump intro (especially 'cause it's one of the few things I can play on piano :D ) and the solo was GREAT. Right now was also great - sounded like the original. You also added a couple of notes to Eileen but it was to my liking. And Take on me was almost like original composition, very nice arrangement for piano. Keep it up!

[Iride1080s247]

Awesome work!!! Big fan of VH nice job!

Cheers!!

[fruitsbasket14]

WOW

[janimati11]

come on over to the philippines and play, you're great

[Septharoth911]

AMAZING!!!

[mWlaser]

Nice work. Thanks for not sitting on the sustain pedal like most people. It's cleaner. (Don't worry about adding the vocals :>) Sounds best when you are playing the melody vs chording the songs. Good selection. Liked it.

[Artanis111]

Who is singing on the vid? Is it you? =)

[tomtom900]

thanks! i got some new ideas for songs to play!!

[miracledrug5150]

[RainMaker2kG]

WOW!!

[yrusonutz]

sweet sweet sweet

[theonlyrealMugsy]

I can't comment on the playing, but I'm surprised that that someone out there likes exactly all the same tunes that mean as much to me-I'm a guitarist, and it would seem that we have the same brain, Jon.

[hockeypro68]

Amazing job on Bruce Hornsby.

[milkyway3011]

My honest respect to you!

[hihihahahoho]

great !!!

[kethtaz33]

Another great group of songs, and you perform them beautifully. Great job!

[Cromadon]

*Drifts off into space in amazement.... I cant w8 till I play like that.

Nice work!

[smarell]

My favorite thing to watch and listen here. I admire your Van Halen skills, really. I also enjoy the sound of "Take on me"... Of course, all the others are just as well amazing. You are great.

[bombgrl]

[jranner]

The solo on "Jump" was pristine, man.

[HoneyDogW]

I truly wish I had your talent. That was awesome!

[mrvolvo10]

[Rochranek]

Thanks so much

[futbolfrank]

I have been waiting for an awesome Come On Eileen. i usually don't ask, but can I ask where you got the sheets for that?

[jonblock]

Hey thanks! I just play that one by ear its not that hard.

[Rochranek]

What's the length on it? 5,6,7,8,9 footer? I'll be sure to tell him, if he's around

[jonblock]

I'm not sure. I'll find out and let you know.

[Rochranek]

Great piano, man.

[jonblock]

hey thanks! -jb

[Rochranek]

I'm a piano player myself, and I've never been much for pop piano (I've always love Bruce Hornsby- like things--as he lives just down the street from me.) But I really appreciate what your doing, because it sounds great. By the way, what kind of piano is that you're using? Steinway, Yamaha?

[jonblock]

The name on the piano is "Howard". I'm not sure where my parents got it. I get to play on it when I'm home to visit. It looks sweet when you open the lid. Tell Bruce I'm sorry I only did one take and I missed a few notes in his song. :-)
