This is some of the most incredible sight-reading you will ever see, and yet it has the feeling as though this is still just simple stuff to Tom. Truly fantastic playing!

This man is a virtuoso

I've seen videos of Tom doing this before. This is amazing. The left hand alone is usually what players look at when they play a known song. So that is impressive alone. But then he also plays the right hand without getting in trouble on the finger setting which is a big problem personally when I learn a new song. He also has to have a good memory to always read ahead of play. Plus the speed is already high so you wonder if there is any approvement to be achieved playing a second time.

It's way better than I expected it to be.

now this is great!

i appreciate the great sound quality of all your videos.

[Keeper1st]

@ragtimeguy93 Well, not all the videos... prior to November 2009, I had a camera that recorded at very low audio quality. This new camera, while not the greatest video quality, records at a higher audio quality than YouTube can process. I have to down-sample it slightly before posting. Alas, the stereo separation isn't very good as the two microphones are right next to each other, but it's still a much nicer audio quality than I had in the earlier videos.
