What a Friend We Have in Jesus - piano

[awesomeific]

I wish I was as good as him!!! That's my new goal on piano! :D



[musicmaker700]

@MrMoggyold word...  This is incredible.

[MrMoggyold]

3 people's hand slipped and accidentally hit "dislike"

[momjid]

Beautiful playing! Who is the composer? Or you improvised?

[MyRoman9999]

WOW!!! Awesome!

[thepianoking100]

Ive seen this guy in most of the piano videos...is he the one that's the church pianist?

[MrGodhavemercy]

toe tappin', people pleasing, irreverent decomposition

[scotland4ever00]

@MrGodhavemercy LOL - If you don't like it, don't listen. PLENTY of other people receive a blessing from listening to this style of music. But do feel free to continue living your seemingly joyless and bitter life; I'm sure you're a real inspiration and blessing to everyone with whom you come into contact.

[MrGodhavemercy]

@scotland4ever00 "Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous." (Psalm 31: 18)

[azah112]

@MrGodhavemercy sounds like you need to read Matthew 7:1-5.

[MrGodhavemercy]

@azah112 That applies to hypocrites and religious pretenders who are enslaved to sin.

[pianoladyd]

He's Daniel Hopkins

[mervynnixon1]

This guy is brilliant and blesses me every day. Can anyone confirm if he is Timothy Lee Noble?

[Woofycat]

@mervynnixon1 no... this is Daniel Hopkins at Landcaster Baptist Church in Lancaster, CA

[jimruthw]

Glorious, God honoring

[Iamshedevil]

this doesn't even sound like what a friend we have in jesus

[NataliaSaren]

Que lindo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 very good

[plazmica89]

I am in love.....

[luke6918]

I would like for him and Cody Mcvey, to play 2 baby grand pianos together, I cannot believe it would be anything but totally awesome. They both are expert pianists, no doubt about it !!!

[Bearinphx]

This man is so talented, I seriously would walk 50 miles just to have a 1/2 hour piano lesson from him....I could listen to him all day long, and he plays the songs I grew up with, attending a little southern Baptists church....listening to him just makes my heart SING SING SING!!!!

[Woofycat]

@Bearinphx Amen! I feel the same, I am so glad to know Daniel Hopkins

[incrediblec48]

beast!!!!!!!



[jahn39]

My very favorite! Thank You Daniel

[Egdirnam]

[bowlingace1]

Excellent!! I was also wondering about the cd, if you have one I would love to buy one. Great talent!

[1Anoited]

Could you tell me the style of your music. It is so nice to listen to. I would love to have the sheet music or a book of all your songs. I also like the Christmas medley and What a Friend We Have in Jesus. You are Blessed.

[AlvinaMichele]

Absolutely beautiful. This lad has got his talent for a very outstanding purpose that is to bring joy to people's heart physically and spiritually. Amen.

[pianomachine]

Awesome. Great job. -Manny Robles

[EsterPangalila]

Oh My God!!!

[nezzy1225]

I LOVE this hymn played in this style. It just makes my heart sing with joy. This man has awesome talent. I agree with another comment--I would certainly buy a CD if one were made by this talented artist. I could listen to this style of playing forever!!!!!!!!!!

[tracybacon]

This is so amazing, you are so talented, Praise God for your talent.

[victorfrancis85]

what is the name of this style? how to play like this? is there any basic how to play this especially the left hand (bass) technique..thx. God bless.

[PianistFishermanGuy]

@victorfrancis85 the left hand tech, is most commonly referred to as stride. Its derived from ragtime. Really tough, takes years to develop the technique.

[YoungmanwithOldsoul]

THIS DUDE IS A BEAST

[hpichichocg]

Wow man, Gloria a Dios por tu vida, muchas bendiciones para tí varón.
