Foolin' Around With The Blues

[Japansnumber1fan]

PANDA SHIRT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Digdugdawg42]

you know, i found brent because of his w/ lyrics series, but when it comes down to it, you are an extremely musically talented person, brent.

[Circasin]

had my guitar plugged in beside me by chance as I was watching this. Just had to jam along! keep it up brent

[YuiVayden]

so awesome^_^... cant stand the weird high pitched thing in there, hurts my almost deaf left ear but oh well still love the song

[blackxd42]

If this is the blues I don't want to chase them away.

[carisaabbott]

You are so AWESOME Brentalfloss

[WhatdoesCorythink]

12 bar blues in the key of Ab major, medium swing. Awesome.

[GregandEllisGaming]

Why does this video only have 2400 views in awesome

[FudderBudder]

How many hours do you practice weekly? And since you're self-taught... how much did you practice when you were starting out?

[ManioKartWii]

Awesome =)

Thank you for this Video!

[jonoodle91]

EPICNESS!!

[RianeFinn]

wtf

[stumppi]

You sir have huge hands. And quite nice technique :) it's a shame to have small hands for I'm struggling even with octaves .

[skinn44]

I enjoied this video. 3>

[AcuraSniper75]

That was THE greatest blues keyboard improv I have ever seen!

[mehlover]

You have really piano skills, even though this one is not a video game themed one it's awesome. I'm so glad I subscribed yo you

[BrianRingeisen]

Brentalfloss, y u so sexy?

[rileyp297]

I don't like other music now.

[Latiasbrother]

Did you compose this yourself? It's amazing.

[anthony62490]

@Latiasbrother I wouldn't be surprised if it was made up on the spot.

[TheDutchGame]

@anthony62490 That's true. Most blues improvs are made on the spot.

[DeamonsAngel]

Proof that you don't need to have lyrics. You just need half a scoop of Brent, add 88 keys, and a pinch of baldness. Blend until smooth.

[K4RN4GE911]

If I owned a bar, I would pay Brent to play there occasionally. Like once every two or three weeks. He's a beast on the keys. I can't get enough!

[goldenxninjaxchick]

the floss looks like he's lost a bit of weight!

[LifelessCreeper]

@brentalfloss , Hey brent are you also coming to the netherlands?

I would love to see you live! 8D

[ritsch]

@LifelessCreeper Ik ook!

[JohnRaptor]

I kept expecting some video game themed blues lyrics.

"Oh the princess got kidnapped" ba-dum-pum-ba-dum

"By a big old turtle dragon" ba-dum-pum-ba-dum

"And there's a bunch of angry mushrooms" ba-dum-pum-ba-dum

"Blockin' my way" ba-dum-pum-ba-dum

[biggibby54]

Dude you are a beast on keys!

[musashihumar]

Blues is always full of win. Its probably one of the absolute best kinds of music there is!

[AmbiguouslyAwesome]

but what if these blues...

had lyrics?

[333ville]

epic as usual

[shadow31213]

the first song, y u no use your left thumb?

....

[LizardkingMario]

Its the reincarnation of Ray Manzarek! But really this play reminded me of him. If only you played a bass line with your left hand..

[Moviewatchnmake]

Brental like a Baws

[blueberrylove2]

Great balls of fire  that was shit HOT :)

[ShiitakeWarrior]

That sure was refreshing. =)

[hero0fTime69]

what if this blues riff had lyrics??

[Trismegustis]

@hero0fTime69 Sing your own!

Basically start at "I woke up this morning" and stick to an AAB structure. It'll write itself!

[Jbern1991]

As a piano player, I really love it when you do these videos, loved the groove and you should make more video game blues songs!

[jakab11]

well color me impressed! nicely done brent

[TheDutchGame]

I luuuvvv me some blues man! :D Nice job.

[HappySealProductions]

I GOT THE BLUUUUEEES

[elisitah00]

wwf for life

[slrigknaps]

I would love to be able to play piano like this.

[Grayfox541]

Is it in the C blues scale?

[Garglemesh91]

@Grayfox541 Yes

[Grayfox541]

@Garglemesh91 ok, thanks

[julianwhitee]

You have some talent bro

[Fireshaker1]

i love this style of music! also, would anyone have any recommendations of artists who have this style as well? thanks!

[xdjvenomx]

Everybody loves Raymond will be right back after these messages.

[freddietheidiot]

you should change carrier and go for blues/rockabilly-pianist, cuz this was fucking awesome

[ManuSmashBros]

Well done!

[demonchocobo]

Are you Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles' love child?

[RoBCyPheR1]

Brent's been playing the piano so much his arms are getting bigger lol

[LamiaKnight]

@RoBCyPheR1 the piano yea, lets say thats whats making his arms bigger, its not when hes bored in bed with an erection:)

[JACABADAS]

You have truly harnessed the power of the FUAAAAAAAA!!!!

[edaboladik]

Bravo, Floss.

[KoopaKrazy85]

I checked and read your latest webcomic at the same time as listening to this

most beautiful 30 seconds of my life? I think so.

[kojikatsuya]

Floss still bein' boss on the Yomama

[megamanangel]

@kojikatsuya I saw what ya did dere.

[Skan11]

He's on fire !

[chilidog042]

Wait, Brent Black, Rebecca Black.... Do you have a daughter with none of your talent?

[UdallIn72]

@chilidog042

He's probably related to Hugo Black, Edward the Black Prince, and Mr. Black from the Kamp Krusty episode of the Simpsons, too.

[Max27588]

Bye!



[B2MAT0N]

Wow, cool :D

[okineedoxygen]

Definitely wasn't expecting that. Very good job indeed.

[Lucoshi10]

PANDA SHIRT!

[NigzBlackman]

well done sir

[bjbushwacker]

Very nice. Love it!

[darklordzagato]

That's pretty damn good right there.

[magicianofdhs]

Hey brent why not make a link to the past with lyrics

[beriukay]

The panda is watching me...

[Sesoron]

There's a point around the 2/3 mark where you put your left hand on your face, and I choose to believe you meant to convey "Oh my, look at what that funky right hand is doing down there!"

[WC6]

Man, those twelve bars of blues never sounded so good.

[Hiiory]

BRENTMAS BE COMING 8D "It's the best time of the year~" No not back to school

[oblonghead]

We need to see you use your new keytar!!

[Gamegeneral]

I love how you rock so hard that the camera starts to shake.

[electroguy256]

Brent, you sir are epic!

[Chibikan]

When are you going to do a new FAQ video?

[amguitarman]

Nice blues, I'd like to her some jazz too.

[Fabadaful]

What if this blues, had lyrics?

[lunarocean777]

At the end of this I got a sudden urge to play Super Mario RPG. This is a good thing :D

Really enjoyed the music. It was a fun tune to listen to :) Would love to hear more of your pure instrumentation or anything like this!

[SynthericPanda]

I love your shirt. Pandas are awesome!

[IceMaverickCold]

@SynthericPanda Its the world wildlife fund logo :P

[SynthericPanda]

@IceMaverickCold I know it is. I just love Pandas.

[greaneyed]

Love it man it sounds so tight

[dhsu]

1:37 Naughty lick

[sajo1111111]

Is it weird that I imagined Mario and Megaman drinking at a bar with this in the background?

[monkeymonman100]

@sajo1111111 since brentalfloss is playing it no

[Zarnirox]

@sajo1111111

Uh-oh! Here comes Link, and he's had a few... :O

[apapalonglong]

@sajo1111111 no, in fact, that gives you bonus points

[MRbigmanROB]

@sajo1111111 ur a brentalfloss fan, nothing is weird

[GoldenHeartNeko]

"At first I was feeling Mega blue, Feeling Mega bad, but when I play some Blues, I feel Mega Rad.

Oh woah woah.

I dont want no Rock. I don't want no Roll. I dont want no Bass. I want to feel whole. So I play some Blues, and my face turns red.

Oh no no.

I put on my shades, and play til bed. For I am the man, the Blues man. Some of you may know me as the Protoman.

But I'm blues in japan. And Blues I am. It's the kind of music that makes me a man.

I am the number one Blues Robot Man.

Yeah!"

[ablestmage]

The middle/high C (guessing) sure stands out for some reason, drones on like there's something acoustically weird with the recorder or the speaker =/

[vagrantlibertine]

You just slayed the crowd, Brent.

[gorgousbry]

Ah brent, you totally cheered me up.

[ShinKavon]

Brilliant, awesome blues :D

[Harmaakettu]

Whoa, that's a pretty freaky reach you got with the 2nd and 4th fingers of your left hand, Floss. =¤

[jagnarok]

always kick ass, any chance of a mega man gospel? ;3

[vevlaa]

Needs more Llama! xD



[AndraOutrage]

O.O Damn

[superraiden]

Fuck man I play in a blues band and just wanna be there to lay down a drum beat

[SpecialInfected]

That.... was... AWESOME!

[Donutman369]

I just read some of your comics. Great stuff dude keep it up.

[josevivo]

im not a blues man but i absolutely loved this :O such talent... wow

[nerdrevoltadovgs]

Brentalfloss, I love your musics... ;D

[Pbtanx3]

WWE shirt?

I loved thissss you looked as though you had fun lol

great job~

[SpyroTheFriendGhost]

@Pbtanx3 WWF* World Wildlife Federation, nor World Wrestling Entertainment

[SpyroTheFriendGhost]

@SpyroTheFriendGhost Foundation*

[Pbtanx3]

@SpyroTheFriendGhost Woops! I meant WWF LOL but yes i love the company i have a couple of shirts from them. Im not sure why I put WWE maybe I was thinking about the confusion between the two companies lol

[gwokymarla]

Best bit:

duh duh duh duhduh duh

[baconflavoredgum]

Are you free styling? Either way, it's impressive.

[EeveeChick10]

Thanks Brent for always knowing how to cure my ailing "blues". LOL ;-)

[BandoGuy4]

This is the best thing I've heard all day, even over some sweet Ukulele music.

[MeleeTiger]

I think that may have transitioned from blues to rock&roll at some point xD

[whoneedtrouble]

Today was a very blue day where I didn't flew.

I got even more bluer to the blues.

My blues then renew as cyan blue.

Thank you.

[Aimereta]

@whoneedtrouble Right on, brother.

[greentrump1]

Very jazzy person, myself... Lovin' it, Floss.

[BunnyWatson22]

Marry me....my husband won't mind. He's a huge fan.

[UntimelyEnd]

I have that shirt. =]

[TheLivingSeven]

Hey Brentalfloss, where did you get that awesome Panda Man t-shirt?

[GameCuber2ndst]

super Mario Galaxy with lrics? i aways loved  that theme :)

[DudeMcDudeum]

........woah

[HollowThoughtsGames]

Flossman! You should make Donkey Kong's Jungle Hijinx with lyrics!

[conzer1394]

flossman have you run out of video games to do? cause i noticed noone has done donkey kong country haha i would love to see you do the first one

[Greenie369]

You should post piano lessons.

[julietaz]

u are great!!

[Kathera]

Marry me?

[Oathblivion]

*plays 2.75 minutes of epic blues music* ... "Bye!"

So random. xD

[Tdak1128]

Hey Brental Floss Portable Grand DGX-230 ?

[bigmasterman]

this almost sounds like the intro to Everybody Loves Raymond

[ItsOver90o0]

brent you're the best and such a talented fellow :D

[3st3ven3]

sick enjoi shirt xD

[Kencan72]

That tune SOOO reminds me of the Parcheesi game music from the Dragon Quest games (not sure about later ones, but definitely from DQ3).

[SirenLullabies]

You really are very talented, Brentalfloss, and you clearly love playing jazz and blues. Have you ever tried your hand at gypsy jazz? There's a shortage of good piano in that genre and it would be interesting to see your take on it.

[legogaara]

I wish i had a panda shirt.

[undeadgamer95]

It'd be funny as hell if he wasn't really playing and it was all a pre-recorded song built into the electric piano! xD

[karatekid778]

@undeadgamer95 That wouldn't be funny.

At all.

[cerealkiller155]

that one C is bothering

the 2nd octave, i think

it just RINGS

ARGHGHGA

but good job, i wish i could play like that

[ToriiKaiSugiyama]

WWF PANDA <3

[DarkX64]

Way to make the rest of us look so inferior Brent!

But seriously, that was impressive. I really liked this. Promise not to kick the bucket too soon, I wanna go to one of your shows one day.

Two questions: Was this improv? Or did you write this?

And around 1:48, I'm curious as to how you pulled that off. Doesn't that hurt your fingers? Or is there a specific way to do that without wearing them out?

[Danderoy]

your shirt *.* i got a sticker with this Panda Picture with the text "WTF Party Pandas on Tour" ;) its very awesome :D

[BeeryGamer]

Must save the PANDAAAAAAAAAS!

[wanupgurl]

OH MY GOD!! Brent your so amazing!

[muffinVIAGRA]

O_O dude, that was awesome. this either needs to be on a cd, or go on itunes asap.

[condoman45]

Awesome Truly Awesome Blues man

[jota9000]

como a alguien no le va a gustar esto es arte grande brentalfloss

[Squeedly135]

God Brent, stop hogging all the sexiness in this world ._.

[TheCorsono]

I have got to say, I am loving this.

[didma]

nice

[Limpurtikles]

Has a crap day, feeling like shit.

Watches video of Brentalfloss playing the blues. Not feeling like shit anymore.

[BeeryGamer]

@Limpurtikles kind of ironic, since it is the blues after all!

[Thief921]

@Limpurtikles Ironic, 'cause its blues =D

[DasSagio]

@Limpurtikles Dude, that's EXACTLY the way I felt today.

Hell yeah Brent made my day for real :D

[Captainmal098]

And now enter the lady boners

[JG48]

Lay on the bluesly goodness Floss!!!!

[matthijs333111]

Anyone who just lost the game because of me?

[N0tsaved]

This tickled my ears in a way I usually only let my boyfriend do to them. ♥

[DrIvoRobotnick]

I saw Ponies in your Comic today!

Do you like em?

[TAUN170]

*claps*

[9inchitaly]

It would be even more awesome if that was a real piano.

[xenomina]

I love how you can see him really get into it near the end.

[d3structi]

That's my daily dose of piano awesome-ness... TIME TO OD!

[dakatubes]

nice

[MrTazay]

Well theres my overdose of epicness for the day... Time to watch it again!

[MikeNashFlash]

That was pretty epic. (I actually said that out loud when the video ended)

[SuperNesLink]

Im actually doing Blues in school but we are learning basic stuff and the history.

[RareBanny]

Pandas <3

[SideburnM4n]

This is awesome! Whoo! Loved it!

[dangelovich]

Awesome... but are you using a keyboard with unweighted keys? (Gasp!)

[Reppije]

Aah. I happened to be wearing panda shirt as well as I saw this. What a mad coincidence! Awesome work with the piano.

[Gvuz]

@Reppije Lawl Nice!

[NintendoChuckNorris]

This is now my channel theme song

[DevilFruitsUnanimous]
