[ashsmithers]

[ladysoccerfan1998]

What is the metronome of this piece?

[davidwheeler1010]

:0

[staceykraft1]

Well done.

[TheMelmar3]

i just got finished watching hummeflug by hannes otohal hes very very very very very good !!!

[Dubickimus]

O.O

what the actual fuck

[chimneyprincess]

haha how long did it take you to memorize it

[Dagothig]

Honestly. The left hand in this tune sounds like a train.

Awesome train that is

[elija416]

I'm breathless

[shengum]

Sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ayokay123]

@shengum Dude, you don't know SICK until you watch Hannes Otohal play his version entitled "hummelflug" (Bumblebee in German). Watch the more recent version. It's about 4:50. You'll thank me.

[nomiclas]

just doesn't compare with B.Bumble

[cyndij0hn]

this is amazing......... i take piano and this is ine of the songs i will be getting sheet music to.

[Rushen4o]

AMAZING!!!

[thoughtsthroughsound]

I hear the left hand starting, and I all I was thinking was "no way can he keep that up", wrong. That was amazing!

[KinJustloveblack]

i don't speak english very well but i think you are a king of piano your bumble boogie is incredible

[TheCowboySantos]

gaaaddam

[Glinkaism1]

Astounding! Distorted audio though.

[trizonkatalyzt]

does he have 20 fingers????0.0???????????XDXD

[muse2011fan]

I just got goose bumps, that was awesome!!!

[graceline09]

bad play. I suggest you see "Bumble Boogie by sergio vieri"

[minoeshke]

You're awesome! :D

[Damoskinos]

I want to buy this version where can I get it

[SceneForeva]

slow it down a bit!! you can't hear all the notes, and you shouldn't change a song that much especially when its this amazing.

[Carola0315]

You play amazing! :)

[anthonyjamesbenedict]

At last someone who playes 20x as good as chuck norris!

[JustinSterzer]

This didn't knock my socks off, it blew them off, ripped them up, and tore them to shreds.

[BlueDiamondDan101]

wow.... goodness gracious!!!!!!! my teacher tried to teach me this one....long story short i cried.....

[EmilyBearfan]

Well, not this exact version; the original version of BB. I like this one, too!

[EmilyBearfan]

SO FAST!!!!! I'm working on it but my hands are so small!

[chkjns]

Hollywood composer/arranger Stu Phillips got his first steady music gig auditioning with this song at The Garden of Allah at Crescent & Sunset Blvd in 1950. $125/week, 17:30 -23:00 Tuesday-Saturday. He actually played only 20 hours a week figuring in the 'breaks'. That's TWICE what my dad made for working 40 hours a week with a college degree when he started out that same year!

[dancnstep]

Wow! I just happened on this while looking for a different version. Do you have a CD?

[PianoLover1114]

my favorite part is 0:00 through 4:37

[PianoLover1114]

15 people are allergic to bumblebees.

[alexasa837]

how did you speed the vid up??

haha jk man, two words... WOOW and WOOW again...

i play the piano myself but man you are way beyond anything!!

congratulations you´re my idol... GREAT playing

[cjhwth81]

Incredible!!....... Beyond words actually....for get I said Incredible!

[GeanSouthSideMedia]

damn, incredible !

u like a machine lol

good work

[Damoskinos]

I'd really like to hear this without the sound distortion

[EllieSchuller]

can someone check out my version of this? :) i learnt it by ear, but the jools holland version?:)

[TheMarkNessMonster]

Damn, son. The mic pullin' the sound didn't do ya justice! Bravissimo!

[Damoskinos]

This is absolutley Amazing, I take my hat off to you.

Where did you learn to play like this?

[PianoLover1114]

Wow! I think youtube should limit how many times a song can be liked by a single person, because I have already liked this song, what, 75,-300 times about? JK I am exagerating, but not by much. keep up the GREAT work.

[gsut71]

This is incredible! Do you think that your classical background allowed you to play this so well?

[luv2sing4pt]

I am 79 years old and have listened to this all my life. Never had I heard it done as well. Thenk you for sharing your gift.

[terpsy19]

is a big proffesionist and tehnicalls piano .congratulations Matt .i love you .leyah .

[TearsAesthetic]

FAKE! And I don't mean it about him really playing, just that he isn't human!! Must be some asian super robot or something 

[Stupidgut6]

My piano teacher can play this..... BUT NOT THAT GOOD!

[kadad1]

Matthew - You do a powerful job on this - my favorite piece of music ever. I fell in love with it as a kid on the original 1946 hit version. I think Jack Fina's version actually has a more sensual swing to it, though. Thanks.

[MsVampirstreusel]

Oh my Gosh.. this is the most astonishing version of bumble bee I've ever heard!! It is definitely beyond awesome!!

[emma0101101]

That will burn some calories!

[juslosit]

[OWildeman]

Most excellent!

[ktbaibee]

wow. you are incredible. where can i get my hands on your arrangement?

[ktbaibee]

wow. you are incredible. where can i get my hands on your arrangement?

[MrSirJet]

Wow

[MichaelHTillman]

A mutual acquaintance linked me to you - Just awesome!

[bobbit1042]

Hey I've just started learning this piece, what fingers do you use for the chromatic parts? (pretty much the first part of the tune the right hand plays)

Thanks

[hannnahkeller01]

You should search "emily bear bumble boogie" on youtube. It's the same song only performed by an adorable 8-year-old piano prodigy

[Schulterpolster]

god how can you make your fingers move so fast?

[achmedliebtachi]

Matthew, can you please tell me, which fingerring ("Finger Sentence (?)") you use at 0:20 - 0:25 ? do you use 3 2 1 2 1 4 3 2 3 2 1 2 1 2 1 2 3 ?

[rogerstill71]

I'm amazed that your fingers aren't worn down to stubs

[TheGovernmentInExile]

The only person I've heard do it better is Jack himself, and I'll bet he would have loved your variations. Bravo, sir.



[karenpog]

Unbeliveable, still the best version I've ever heard. I never get sick of watching you play this. Thank you for your brilliance.

[MrMiniCooper79]

Matthew amazing technique. I learned the original Jack Fina version when I was 17-18 years old but newer played like this, you inspired me to re-learn this classic piece once again 50 years later. Thanks for the inspiration Burlington On. CANADA

[pikachu12345678901]

where can i get ur verision of the bumble boogie cause that was amazing....:)

[pikachu12345678901]

@pikachu12345678901 i mean like which book of urs includes it i want to get it :)

[citibear57]

OMG! Damn that was just a fantastic performance. I have always loved Bumble Boogie, but your version was unlike any I have heard or seen performed. You moved me to tears.

[mrrrks39]

just absolutely amazing.  fantastic

[ilovesparky13]

thats amazing!! i really luv this song!

[timmeister813]

This is so good that I actually "Laughed out loud" when I heard this... ridiculously good!

[poptya]

Finally someone playing it at a good tempo :D Too many are slow, this is the version that sounds best.

[VENOM664]

i am lost in words this is why i want to learn the piano :( just never really can every time i try something happens where i cant.

[Ripplebreeze]

Woah... that's like, scary. Didn't knock my socks off, sorry. Only made my hat fall (Jk hehe) A little... loud. Not enough dynamic contrast, in my opinion.

Otherwise well played.

[Mykenaid]

Right that is it. I'm going to park Bach's Preludes and Fugues and get into Boogie Woogie!

[mrrrks39]

sounds like a little mix of the classic version with awesome boogie version. fantastic.

[mushroomartist]

Ho. Ly. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

I fucking LOVE you.

[surveyslulz]

Oh my dear lord, may i bear your children please? Our kids would play some sick piano.

[RatormaHS]

@surveyslulz Lolzors comment.

[ilovesparky13]

@surveyslulz okaaaay....

[gh3rocks54321]

I absolutley loved it. I am only 12 and I can play this song, but not like that! That was perfection! 5*

[dangerousbeak]

i play the piano.

i must have this man's children.

if he's gay, we'll baste.

[CrowleysGhost]

SO xclnt! I listened to about ten other versions on YT and I like yours the best. When you get a chance, I'd love to see this with better camera and audio/mic. You're so good but the video doesn't quite do you justice.

[notelse]

Absolutely fantastic playing. I really love it and I haven't been too excited by this particular piece in the past. Awesome job man.

[xXxThunderhawkxXx]

Uber godly pro! I wish I could play THAT well.

[kennysart]

Loved it!!

[keepthemusicguyz]

i watch this video every day

fantastico

[coastermans]

at 2:27 how do you play the chord like that?

[mitch438]

Watch this again, watch on his face. That is a look of pure focus.

[grundin1]

THIS ISN'T EVEN POSSIBLE omg dude you are soo good

[mushroomartist]

This is absolutely incredible! I learned the original a few years ago, but the version I knows pales in comparison to this. You are brilliant, as I am sure you know. :) And are you going to make a transcript of your version? I'm sure people would purchase it.

[Aden0]

@mushroomartist if you're insane at piano maybe! lol

[sokowatti]

Please play Swaany River

[r30p3r]

the song is insain its so fast

[Rufus2468]

great job, although, being a video camera, the sound quality isn't great. Have you considered recording it through a digital piano and connecting it directly to your computer? I have a Yamaha P-85 and i can midi it directly to my computer, the sound quality is fantastic, but I'm not a fantastic player. Hope to see more of you soon

[TerrorrBucannon]

Matthew, is this profession or more like a hobby?

Regards from Germany.

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Professional only

[andreea140794]

@Boogiewoogiekid so you don't really enjoy playing piano...?

[SillySmoothtCollie]

Where can I buy this song?

I love it.

[CrowleysGhost]

That was awesome! Started my day off great with a smile on my face. You kept both the tempo and the spirit of the song. I only wish I could see more camera angles, but I'm sure you'll do that eventually. I even looked up other versions of this song, and yours is the best.

[stanich054]

Bravo;;;  Dude!!

[fwdixon04]

Excellent - right up there with the Freddy Martin version!

[sosome57]

You make the original version of BB sound absolutely tame! What drew you to boogie woogie? You're VERY good at it, as I'm sure you know.

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thanks! - I got hooked after attending a boogie woogie festival

[chenrazee]

5 stars for the best rendition of this piece on YouTube! Astounding! :)

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you!

[Barry1Wade]

I love that song, and you played it beautifully. Thankyou for this 4½ minutes of sheer enjoyment! 5*****s!

[damnation333]

Hey! Very cool! Great playing!

Was introduced to this song in the Boogie dancing class. Who actually wrote this song?

Thanks!

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Jack Fina - thanks for watching!

[Gofauoea]

Brasil diz:

Meu, Tu é o cara!!

Parabéns!

English:

You are the Man!!

Congrats

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you!

[gh3rocks54321]

How is that possible. U shuld make a tutorial

[DaHeichef]

Did I hear Liszt's 13th Hungarian Rhapsody at 4:06 - 4:13?

Great playing!

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Yes - great ear! - I studied it in college - no one ever seems to notice that - thanks for watching - Matt

[noshi69]

whoa!! nice!! very nice! bravo!

[ryanasdewq123]

also i could NEVER do tht the way ur fingers are all over the place

[ryanasdewq123]

[Composer1992]

Mr smooth! Awesome style. I play this one too, but differently. Nice work!

[ansonx10]

Amazing...

Bring in the bass! lol

I like the Bass Mekanik version too.

[ILjobber]

I heard a neigbor play this years back.but YOU  are FANTASTIC! You make that piano get up and talk and dance at the same time very very good!

[prandora]

holy shit... i cant understand how thats even physically possible.... well done to you sir!

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thanks prandora!

[masoax]

i think he like fast foward it after he talked in the video,

but even if he did, or didn't its still good

[Staunomat]

Nonsense...

[songbird1111]

If I were British, I'd be GOBSMACKED, but I'm from the good ol' USA, so I'll have to be content with saying that I was flabbergasted! This was amazing! I'm surprised there wasn't any smoke coming from the hammers!!! Rest those talented fingers!

[dinzbagel]

You are absolutely and utterly fantastic, enjoyed watching and hearing you over and over. I teach piano in France, near Monaco. Bravo on your arrangement !!!!!!

[YoungFilmBuff]

While I haven't played piano in many years, my father was a professional musician (concert violinist) and had one of the top 5 dixieland bands on the radio. He also played with Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman. So I've been around music for a while on a professional level.

Man, you are "off the charts" FANTASTIC!

You don't happen to have any sheet music for your Shiek of Araby or Bumble Boogie versions, do you?

God's Speed to you!

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thanks for this great message!

[MattyTrappy]

that must have absolutely killed your hands i mean after than your hands must have been aching so bad

[nealthedude]

That was brilliant

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you!

[3Tommyx3]

HOLY OMFG so far im learning this song and i reckon it will take 10 years to learn this with my brain

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thanks Tommy!

[lorem777]

I love it!!! you play very impressive!

[smellycheeseman1]

I've tried playing this song. Its not easy at all.

[marctrainor]

This guy is obviously "off the charts" as far as expertise on the piano. Wow, and doubble wow. I'm a professional musician, and I couldn't carry this guys hand lotion to a gig, as it were, he's so good. Man, this guy is good. Marc.

[747Hero]

You knack my socks off!

I have watch you play this around 130 times now...

[montsesarval]

WOW gran tecnica excelente

[zirgelis]

[stenosispoppy]

Matt you have a lot of talent. Always considerd Liberace hard to beat, have to admit I like your version just as well.

[64eugenia]

Yes.  That was fast. Now I have a headache.

;)

[HappyFault]

Wow----that so *TOTALLY* blew me away!!!! You *ROCK* dude!!!!!

My 7 year old daughter says: "You play like lighting fast! I have a 1922 Heintzman upright piano from my Grandmother, and I'm starting lessons this fall, and I want to be a player like you!!!"

[Boogiewoogiekid]

Thank you!

[12rosebud12]

Awesome, Matthew!!, indeed "muscled" out. Matthew, could you PLEASE give away the secret of the right hand fingering in the chromatic theme???. THANKS a million, in the name of all desperate amateurs.

Cheers, B.

[Kruglar]

Dude you are awesome at the piano. i am learning the piano right now too. Keep up the good work! ^_^

[Itzy1965]

Just amazing! Everything Matt plays sounds just awsome!

RESPECT!

[driz27]

[potatoperson110]

I ... sincerely wish I could play it this fast, but my fingers get jammed up. xD
