Carol of the Bells: George Winston Arrangement

[thelifeaquatica]

every year man, every year!

[iamwhitneyiamfree]

I do applaud you for attempting such a complicated song. Trust me, it's amazing that you were able to perform it so well. However, there is a huge control issue on your part. For the sections that are more complicated, you rush a LOT. I've been playing for 7 years so I know what it feels like to just want to get a section over with! Get a steady tempo that you can nail for the whole song. I usually play this at 113 bpm.  Slow it down, add dynamics, & have a load of fun with this piece:)

[takemeback2]

Great job on them 88"s man!

[christine6490]

woow you're amazing!!!!

where did u find the sheet music?

[chris124456]

that was amazing can you teach me how to do that

[2006illuminati]

I hate / admire you all, I would so love to be able to play, very well done, very well played, and I love the sound off your piano

[shade231]

Misshapes in keys here and there, still for a song that switches up like that not to bad.

Keep at it and you'll be able to nail each and every key dead on.

[hotkeshia]

cool man you or so good player

[TheTellybean]

Liked your little comical quote "...or attempting to perform this..."

[ratchetandclankfreak]

the part at 2:23 seems a tad rushed, but other than that 5*

[mermaid1900]

totally agree it was very fast ...But an amazing preformance no doubt !! :D

[musicman3893]

Very nice job man, one of my favorite songs...and I absolutely love this arragement of it. Check mine out if you get the chance...there's a couple minor slips, but all and all it's pretty decent for my first upload...lol

[mariella990]

[H0wcansheslapmesir]

[DontReadThisUsername]

Nice job man. Check mine out. I have a few more little mistakes in mine though.

[bowler662]

This was very worthy to post on the net. You don't give yourself enough credit. Tempo did rush a bit but it still sounded great. Good work!

[buzz1002lightyear]

very impressive cover of an intensive arrangment...thank you for posting!

[Fossilgreen236]

Outstanding

[mistamonkey1892]

[ivorymusicfalls]

Amazing and beautiful...

the increases in tempo make it more exciting.

good job...

[zagwitz]

cute and able to play very well.. ;) impressive :)

[Thiemo87]

cool job!

[GraceTheGreat1]

Not bad... i am currently learning this song. it's a pain to learn the right hand and left hand together. but overall not a very challenging piece in my opinion.

nicely done.

[zEuSsMiNiOn4493]

I know firsthand how difficult George Winston can be to play, especially this piece, and " not too shabby" ugh, it was AMAZING! Not perfect, but still, considering the difficulty of this song.. VERY VERY nice work.

[currentriveryogi]

Absolutely, incredibly, awesomely amazing!!!!! What astoundingly beautiful music. You have a great gift.

[polmeh]

That was good.

[coolkn94]

[asianbugface]

[NowayLaughs]

Wow... Excellent! Phenomenal job!

Tempo does slow and speed, but tis all good. Sounds great for a "attempt"

Also, JC what piano is that? Looks oldish, but still not?

5*

[cheapcape]

Just a few keys off, but overall splendid work!

[made2adore]

[thelightguy1]

[beattlesrock]

you said you blame the dynamics mistakes partly on the piano, I blame all my mistakes on the piano, poor thing. Very nice playing! Merry Christmas:)

[SitDown314]

[9gJ4jeqf]

[redsoxmb545]

Sweet!

Check out my duel guitar performence of this song on my page!

[pianoman073]

thats really good, but the staggered melody in the middle was to fast in my opinion, otherwise really good

[xaq3431]

i think thats my cusion!

[lightorama12]

soooooooo beautifulllllll!!!!!!

[kwonhk]

only if i could find the sheet music...

[Technopath1]

That little piano's got amazing tone!

[Microrator]

Beautiful arrangement

[lolgirl125]

this is so beautiful!

[RissaRaptor]

man this is VERY good...i could never pull this off! hahaha!

[ashleypiegirl]

that was very good!

[TLoveland4692]

Yea, I got sick of my "easy key" and very poor dynamics piano, so i sold it and used it to pay for part of a yamaha cp33... it sounds amazing and feels WAYYYYY better than the old acoustic i had. Good job, I'm playing this song for my church on Christmas.

[tippership]

it's GOOD, but i wish there was a vid on youtube with the original carol of the bells(non vocal/and non trans siberian crew)..

alas, i cannot find a SINGLE official, non AMV, ro performance, thats not trans siberian

theirs is good, but shouldnt take over the song....

i grew up with many versions...

...if only there was an instrumental, even..but nope, trans siberian orchestra took over youtube to the extent there

s none..

ppl tell me that even things like limewire are only TSO :(

[PablotheFEAR]

u need to make the higher notes(melody) louder at the beging

[Canadianabanana]

That was really good!

[puppleton1122]

ahhh! wonderful.

[narutopokemon3]

then just google carol of the bells music sheet for _____ (the instrument you play)

[sailorearth2007]

Wow, I could never play anything like this. 10/10. Awesome!

[BlackxMidnightxWolf]

very nice. 10/5

[aznnono]

pretty good bravo

[huiehome]

Very well done! Great tonal quality, you're poised and confident.  NOT an easy arrangement to master.

[1jdbailey]

never heard this arrangment before. very nice.

[benjipoop]

amazing

[roxdude94]

great for u

[foxdude17]

that is cool!

[angel0634]

That was great! I might be wrong but the piano sounds a little off...

Great job though

[WhySoCurious]

[ieatpeas24]

[ProcrastinatingHere]

I grew up listening to this version! Thanks so much for playing it! Now I have a song to learn before christmas ^_^

[SharpieSniffer92]

OH. MY. GOSH.

:')

Do you think you could do a tutorial? PRETTY PLEASE? I cant read music I play by sight and would LOVE to learn this beautiful song...please? :)

[bluerockstarbabe07]

lol you commented this same thing on another videoo(:

lol

[SharpieSniffer92]

yeah I did, because you all play it so beautifully, and I wanted to get the request for a tutorial out there incase a few of you didnt want to make them, maybe one of you would! :)

[Sinneo91]

It would be so much easier to simply learn how to sight read. It's not a difficult task.

[yeshuaschild]

hey that's good. I like this version... where did you get the sheet music??

[LlamasOnIce]

I love how you say "attempting to". Don't worry! you did really good!!!

[FantasyDepression]

You're very good! I could barely tell the difference! Good luck!

[CoUnTrYmUsIcFrEaK]

Gracious. I am going to marry a man like you someday and he is going to sit at the piano all day and play me this song. :] This is fabulous! Have confidence!

[swannie0212]

great playing! i'm learning this piece right now and I hope to play it as good as you have!

[zoey11345]

Please understand how difficult and wonderful George Winston is. Thank you for showing us.

[zoey11345]

BRAVO. I know and love this song. You did it justice.

[darkdevil92990]

idk if it was him or just the way the piano sounded but out of all the versions ive heard this is my favorite

[xoxoBIGxSMILExoxo]

this is deff worthy of the net! Have some confidence...that was GREAT! I have been playing for 8 years...and I loved it.

[Lynie1884]

A couple of flated notes, but other than that it was very good.

[5FoOtaCeofCLubS]

hey good job! im working on this piece myself!! i love the way you play it not counting the crappy piano :o). ur cute too!! =]

[Betholinalhdl07]

an few clipped notes and tempo isn't always consistant.. but not bad at all.. kudos

[musicalgurl16]

[dracerick]

[wernerschluberger]

Hey, great job ! I just got the scores yesterday myself, it isn't that overly hard to play,but the sound obviously is just great.

Dude, get a better piano that fits your level of playing, really cool! :-)

[educationspecial]

Nice performance.

[LorgonJortle]

Contact me if you have the scores please. Good job here, I can tell it's not him, but it's definitely good.

[wh8noko]

[bernwood]

[Calagamberr0]

Nice touch, and better sound. Congratulations.

[Zantor64]

The piano has a fantastic sound. It also sounds to be in tune, which is certainly a plus. I really like how you play this rendition.

[lpvids]

hott.

[lilnextelcupfan]

Nice job, enjoyed watching you play. Your piano has a nice sound quality.

[Subarochan]

[woohoomusic]

[cutearee]

very minor mistakes :) You did very well dude! Liked it!

[gdmiller5]

As a huge GW fan, I must say...you are very worthy. Terrific work my friend!

[YuiTeub49]

I like how George Winston changes the melody enough to where its new but not overdone, and still recognizable... to me it takes a great master to be able to do that... you made a few mistakes but thats understandable taking into consideration the caliber of the arrangment, overall you did very well... great job...

[romfeo]

You play really well! Thanks

[JFCHESNAS]

do you know if there is sheet music for tamarack pines from the album forest?? thanks

[deni1947]

[shelise3]

OH MY GOODNESS!!! THAT IS SO GOOD! i kinda have a really wierd request. i kinda play the piano too, just what people teach me. like fur elise, titanic,only hope, phantom of the opera etc. so i was wondering if you could maybe post somthing of you playing and kinda teaching it as you go, its looks pretty simple once you break it down. and just have the camera so i could see the keys good. wow that would be sooo awesome i want to learn how to play it so bad! thanks!

[ecovalley]

Love G. Winston.

Hate the fact that I told my dad that I din NOT want to learn how to play the piano.

Great rendition!

[vickyKH]

[saxionol]

The work of the right hand is really good, but the work of the left...Could be interesting to add something with it...The using of the bass notes would be nice

[graceolrocks]

Nice

[tpubill]
