Simply awesome, how the fuck is it easy to play blind folded? It ain't, he did the song and the coins blind folded, how the hell did he find the right keys!? And no, not every person should be able to play blindfolded, stop talking shit
wow some of you guys are real haters. In life nothing is perfect, if it was then how boring would that be? Saying "to play that song is easy if you learn the notes" is like saying its easy to paint the Mona Lisa if you know what colours to use. Just accept something for what it is and appreciate that the dude knows how to play well.
the guy can definitely play...he just needs to sit with a metronome for a year until he can play without speeding up and slowing down every other measure. good stuff though
he is not looking at the keys. Fingering is all you need to do this. When u are memorizing the piece get the fingering and when u playit without looking your fingers know where to go. I do it all the time its not hard
Why can't you just accept that someone is actually good at something? I can type with my eyes closed but I was probably just looking down at the keys...
Playing notes correctly is something anyone can do. Playing it musically is a whole thing altogether. I agree - everything this guy plays sounds the same.
I'm all for him learning this tune and playing it blindfolded, but seriously, the "expressive" tempo changes are not in the original. Try to tap along with the tempo to the game, really easy, to this impossible. Every video of this "amazing" guy is the same.
Don't worry. He's shootin for his Masters at Yale. Wait till he's in the concert halls, there will be plenty of videos of him playing classical music. :D
thats no big deal. lot of famous piano play can play with out looking at the keys. my friend could play the piano upside. (hes the one upside down not the piano)
HIYA!! i am christopher salmons daughter, you know the one guy who helped make advent rising i was at your video games live show!! this was so KEEEEWLLL!!!
To blargh your absolutly correct. I was taking piano lessons and the instructor told me that you will learn to play without looking. like typing on a keyboard.
I saw on your site you like piano music so I thought I'd introduce you to my channel. I upload a new video each day, all types of music. I hope you will like it and subscribe to it.
pretty cool, but when you play piano your not suppose to look at the keys anyway.. but thats pretty impressive cause not all the keys are in the same area
depends. If you memorized it, and play it well...you don't really need to watch. I play by feel, some play by watching. Either way, pianists are mostly trained to play without looking at their hands (OR AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE).
While I CAN detect some dissonaces (just started playing on a keyboard that I bought, partially thanks to inspiration from this guy), he is still awesome.
very impressive, but the part where he tried 2 make the coin sound with high notes was a total disaster, and as many people said, he DOESNT have any sheet music, he was only blindfolded 2 show that he knows EXACTLY where each key is
u got good ear, nobody ever hears mistakes, people always say that he plays it perfectly but there's always mistakes he makes, even on his recordings, the air platform theme was played really slow, he still made like 5 or 6 mistakes.
to know it blindfolded means he's practiced it enough to just know it. you know? finger memory? it's not that hard to work a song out by ear though just takes time.
yep, playing piano is like typing on a keyboard, once he has the song memorised im sure he can play it blindfolded :P LOL no hard to work out a song by ear. ur stupid. of couse its hard. why does it take time if its easy?
no it just takes time, you know? I meant it's not difficult, just time consuming, and that doesn't make it hard. just think of a melody, get your instrument and try to get it, not hard right? just time consuming... don't call me stupid....
@Occultfan: Well it is easy for him, because when you practise a song very well. You
