STROKE VICTIM PLAYS AMAZING PIANO ONE HANDED!!!

[fathma96]

i chud play many songs with 1 hand but not both hand like titanic crazyfrog ode to joy, few indian songs...

[chrisqberg1]

Very well done. Thanks

[marciakims1]

my sister had a 6 1/2 hour stroke in Jan. from a bloodclot in her leg. Tonight she started playing the piano in the nursing home cafeteria with her good right hand...blew us away...I went searching for music I could purchase and found you playing...tremendous! I will share this with her. What an inspiration for my sister and our family! Thanks and keep tinkling those keys! Your great!

[ADAP7IVE]

Wonderful....I'm trying to learn the guitar with one hand; it's tough, but seeing this gives me hope.

[bluestreak711]

Awesome idea and great use of the sustain pedal.

[Cobbbbbb]

Thanks man. Just thanks.

[fmvcsings]

INSPIRING!

[firestone48]

In daily life I cannot use my right hand because I have C.P. I'm wondering is there any limittions(sp) to playing one handed?

[senseisakornsin]

Art, I had an ArterioVenous Malformation rupture and destroy 40% of my right-brain. I, too, play piano with my right hand only. I would love it if you would contact me so we could talk about piano-playing techniques or specific songs that favor the right hand.

Yes, you are are a very inspiring musician!

[Waltr42]

I'm loving this fellow,I had a Stroke which gave me right side paralysis and my singing ability is gone too!I'm inspired by this!

[Tyukima701]

I'm 16 and I also had a Stroke at the age of 4 1/2 which left my whole right side unresponsive, I've been wanting to play the piano for a very long time, but never thought I could do it...so thank you for giving me the inspiration to fulfill my dream of playing the piano :D You're awesome!

[IMaiden89]

SUSTAIN PEDAL?????? NICE

[countrypop56]

This is awesome!

[fsrefsdf]

[utubermx1]

Blesses well done

[montx2007]

God help him, like to see more magic from him.

[fsmasterjohn]

Well Done!, and God Bless ;)

[XXXoXXoXXXX]

I got one arm too, and love seeing things like this that make me realize SO WHAT if I lost an arm. It makes it 10x as cool when you can do things one handed anyways.

[anangelgirl1993]

i had a stroke at birth so i cant really use my left hand but i love to play the piano!! people judge me, but at the end of the day... people who judge and just shallow and down right ignorant!! in my opinion!! brilliant video!! xx xx :-)

[Cianciola1]

I had a stroke 10 years ago & lost the use of my left hand. I still play piano or organ with my right hand only. Many people don't even realize that I'm not using my left hand at all. Music is my life! God bless!

[BearKeys]

A good reminder to not give up if you really want to do something :)

[SDpadresSD]

i love it!

[MDKriderwessels212]

I am a stroke victim too, '07. I just started playing piano with one hand and this is honestly inspiring

[dancentb]

amazing!

[TheDestiny1010]

im getting a synth for x-mas gotta take internet lessons =)

[undertakerbesteva]

you are good to play elton john one handed!!!

[Yaylin2]

Play the moonlight sonata!

[moorekais]

you are good!!!!

[sudnaidu]

Interesting technique.

[GaarasSandPuppetGirl]

this is amazing!

he is a fantastic pianist to take a momentary disadvantage and turn it into a great advantage in playing ^^

[IzPrez]

that is in no way shape or form an advantage. only thing i can think of. is that he memorized the song better..

[ukeminem88]

thats awesome!! very talented on the keys

[Areelex]

oh. i just read the description.

[Areelex]

why does this remind me of rocketman?

[mattcowzer]

this is fantastic your friend is an incredibly talented individual.

[dorian190]

I wish i could do that with like nine hands let alone one.

[vitamina33]

beautiful!!!......

[abductedbymartians]

good on you!

[SHYNAGOLD]

INSPIRATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[crazypianolady]

Wow this is amazing! Loving the jazz. I close my eyes and it sounds like 2 hands or more! It kinda made me think about how much us pianists (and most other people) take for granted our 2 hands. I tried to play some songs with 1 hand just to see and it's so hard! I managed the most part of 'le moulin' by Yann Tiersen with one hand. Maybe you could recommend it to your friend! How is doing btw?

Regards x

[casyopea1977]

Sir, you are a living inspiration for those who might be thinking about giving up on anything. Thank you.

[nikita251]

[kats9livesfive]

[bobers2004]

Virtouso!

[korolgrant]

Well amazingly, I was practicing this one song and I came across a cord from the second song you are playing in this video, and from that cord and watching this video i was able to figure out the rest of the melody. Its really fun to play :)

[korolgrant]

god i wish i had that piano, the tone is incredible, i have a baby grand but it doesnt have that twine that is from the older full size

[korolgrant]

What are these songs, i want to learn it

[1avantgardener]

My husband wrote a dictionary of human biology and evolution that took 15 years of his life, and stroke has now robbed him of his language skills. And this man, clearly born to play the piano, is unable to use his left hand. God works in wondrous ways? Ha!

[tails11]

[TheDrummer5656]

People, He's probably better than 95% of you people. Plus , He's only got one hand to play with! So don't be a moron and start talking crap about him!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[roddytoddy]

Right on man!! Sounds great...

[scytheraus]

What a chamP! i can only dream of playing that well with 2 hands, let alone one. Good luck with ur playing and you have mine all the viewers utmost respect and support.

[jwill32196]

wow amazing

[GraveImplications]

Inspiring. I play piano, and have always wondered what the hell I would do if I lost the function of one of my hands.

[eeuumuscle]

wonderful!!

[prettikitten]

very talented

[KrizSEXzy]

OMG! Im a stroke victim too. I used to play the piano and drums, now I couldn't coz I can only use one hand..this is very inspiring..I'll try to play piano again.even on one hand only..I wish I could do it on drums too..thank you!! I'm inspired!

[TheJivers]

hi there, first im sorry 'cause of your arm. im answering on your idea of playing drums with one arm! even if i hafe two arms i often play with just one of them on my kit. its good exercise and you can do al damn lot of groovy things! especialli breaks and fills. just start out practicing rudiments with bassdrum and one hand, youll get fast someday and then you can do gorgeous stuff! try it out!

[Ylaena]

Rick Allen from Def Leppard only has one arm, and he rocks!

[chiefredwater1965]

INSPIRING!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sudz92]

deifnitelyy...MAD RESPECTT!

[MikesMusic123]

nice, gota love ej

[LIANG14]

You must be really sick of all this incredible puppy praise, and depressed knowing that it's boosted because of your unfortunate condition. I'm very close to being deaf yet play the piano, I hate undeserved praise, it makes me think why bother working? But to let you know that is some very good piano playing there, loved the differences in dynamics. Very impressive. =)

[AMYPIANO]

well imprESSED!

[farooq25]

Good for you man..You're an inspiration not just for stroke victims, but for everyone...I can't play that with 2 hands!!!Great Job! God bless you and your family!

[oceano304]

Respect!!!!

[znernitsud]

i have a hard time playing mary had a little lamb with two hands lol

[CKChardrocka]

Good job for only being able to use one hand, God Bless your friend's recovery.

[az101010]

sounds as good as two hands to me..

and it's not just good piano playing

it's really really beautiful music..

[scsupernova24]

my bad.

[motormint]

great job man

[evilspawn4848]

i agree,and no its not fun only haveing the use of one hand...but you can look on the bright side...when you get the use of ur other hand back youll be that much better at playing piano :)

[hxcandy]

great, man. God bless and I hope you recover fully. It's tough recovering from stroke. All that brain power that you have to get back. People here don't understand how hard this really is. Especially for a one handed victim. This is true brain power and an amazing recovery. God bless you, again, and I hope He heals you fully. MUCH LOVE.

- Andy

[bijimitsu]
