//////// The Human Abstract - Patterns (Piano Cover)

[frashardcore]

1 Dislike? 1 person who usually listens to Pitbull ... This is amazing

[greenbeaner69]

goosebumps. and that solo i can get over it ahaha.

[MTN707]

My favorite song, thank you for this!!! :D

[Twixgtx]

Omg, i think i love you--r hands! Haha_

Mea deus! tu es bona! Et ego te amo! -latin, translate it. I hope its correct. Its been a year.

[clantosa]

@Twixgtx that was portuguese not latin but ya it made sense in portuguese : ) i love her 2! my god : )

[Twixgtx]

@clantosa its latin, i took it for 2 years, well thats how i remember how to say all that. but you could be right about the portuguese thing also since apparently if you know latin, you also know spanish, french, italian, portuguese, and romanian. don't know how that could be possible since they all have different words and have dialects unlike latin, which is a dead language. BUT IT WAS EASY! :D

[Twixgtx]

@clantosa apparently this makes more sense on google translate in latin:

meus deus! tu es bona. et te amo

exactly that way, the ! throws it off and it puts in words like "thou art" and whatnot...

[DreksLab]

I jack off to this.

[jhonyeryc]

This song is a masterpiece *-*

[blink7777777]

tabs puhhh uh leaseeeee. sheets something a hug at least

[ToastIsIntense]

Do you have a collection of audio samples of these Human Abstract covers? It would be the ultimate gift. Better than the one in that movie. (great movie by the way)

[CrushedToTheDepths]

@alexatetris I can see how that would certainly be a challenge, I would suggest if you do that song just try and follow the bass guitar for the bass cleft on piano instead of following the vocals. But I am not a very good pianist so that may be a little bit more complicated then I thought.

[greenbeaner69]

@CrushedToTheDepths since my last comment i finally finished faust on guitar lol covers on my channel \m/

[CrushedToTheDepths]

I have played this song a million times on guitar, and have never even considered a parallel of classical, it just never ran through my mind... I had never transposed it to any other instrument... Good ear! I suggest trying to transpose Faust next, that would sound incredibly interesting!

[alexatetris]

@CrushedToTheDepths I have considered Faust in the past; it would certainly be a challenge considering there is less of a vocal melody for me to work with.

[greenbeaner69]

@alexatetris im about done with faust on guitar (just cleaning it up) and yea transposing to piano...i cant even imagine. nothings impossible tho ;) but i wanna hear horizons! lol

[xgaroo]

fucking awesome !  O_O

[alexatetris]

@MichaelSDeJesus ear

[MWM0217]

flawless on the likes

[FranLesPaul]

Hey man, I asked many pianists this, but no one could answer me.

So. How to teach myself the piano? I'm a guitarist, and I can play anything on the guitar, and had to practice and practice and practice(still have to practice!). But how do I do that on the piano? Being a prog metal fan, I don't know what to play. Attempting to play Rudess would be a suicide! So do you perhaps have any advice on what to learn? Where to start??? I know the basics, but nothing more. Help, please?

[Schpudd]

@FranLesPaul honestly, if you know your way around the fretboard/some theory you only need to learn technique on piano to become proficient. start with basic classical pieces, fur elise for example. it's a cliché but like guitar start slow and build your way up from there. all it can do is complement your guitar playing - not hinder it.

[alexatetris]

@TheRoots1225ver2 No

[EpsilonX]

can you do elegaic

[alexatetris]

@EpsilonX funny you should say that because I'm almost finished learning it! I'll probably be able to film it next weekend.

[EpsilonX]

@alexatetris awesome! your covers really bring the band's material into a new light. you should learn antebellum too :D

[alexatetris]

@EpsilonX haha, I have a feeling Antebellum would be tough. Might learn Horizon as well but I'm not sure yet because was planning on stopping after Elegiac; THA is an exhausting band! :P

[EpsilonX]

@alexatetris hm, yea that song sounds pretty tough lol but I think it'd sound great on piano. They should release a piano only version of the album

[poinostwister]

Please work on this some more and put up another video! I am in no way dissing you, I just think it sounds awesome and I really want to hear it cleaned up and polished. Great job! Keep shredding the keys. ;)

[GraysnE]

Thank you.

[petoskey3010]

this is great, you have inspired me to get a piano and play, love the cover, love classical and metal. this is the shit

[robbyisftd]

Wow, hearing this played on a piano just magnifies the classical aspects of this song. You have excellent musical preferences and kudos on this performance before the album is even released lol. You learn rather quickly!

[alexatetris]

@robbyisftd Thanks man, I appreciate it!

[clashingelements]

Funny, I learn a bunch of metal songs on piano by ear and it's nice to see others tapping in to it. Metal has the technicality and structure of a lot of classical, and being a classical music enthusiast/clarinetist/metalhe­ad (yeah, rare combo) I'm able to understand their similarities and differences and as much as I try to spread the word, nobody listens. LOL. Great cover.

[alexatetris]

@clashingelements Yesss! Thank you for existing my friend! The lot of us need to ban together and sustain the little hope there is left for this world! Keep spreading the word, and if they refuse to believe the truth and beauty of it, they are not worth our time. (wow, haha, a preacher was the LAST thing I wanted to sound like there…)

[mahifish]

certain parts a VERY similar to the intro to vela together we await the storm

[beatle96]

Beautiful!

How did you learn it, by ear or sheet music?

[alexatetris]

@beatle96 by ear, god I WISH there was sheet music! haha.

[beatle96]

@alexatetris

Wow! you have a good ear!

How long have you been playing?

[alexatetris]

@beatle96 Haha, thanks. I took classical lessons for a little over eight years, then quit and started self teaching for four years.

[joshy5lo]

the end kinda sounds like the batman theme song xD

[alexatetris]

@joshy5lo haha, link me up, i don't hear it!

[joshy5lo]

@alexatetris right around 2:42 when it gets heavy and dramatic 

[alexatetris]

@joshy5lo lol ya sort of

[josephgervasi]

Awesome interpretation.

[Ander3030150]

Great stuff!!!

[beton21793]

I'm dying for some sheet music to this.

[alexatetris]

@beton21793 I wish I had the time and patience to transcribe it properly. Sorry :(

[hearNyou]

I like the feel of this, and the audio production is also quality !!

pce

[PIAN0PLAYER5]

@alexatetris, can you please send me the sheet music if you've written it down? unless you did it by ear, which is more amazing.

[alexatetris]

@PIAN0PLAYER5 no sheets, sorry!

[StewieSwan]

Very good, but you should have added some of the vocal harmony notes on your right hand. Thumbs up regardless!

[alexatetris]

@StewieSwan Thank you for the suggestion, my friend! I will keep that in mind should I ever re-film this :)

[Dave90425]

this is a great cover but why are you playing such an out of tune piano!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

[alexatetris]

@Dave90425 :( I just got it tuned! It's me playing the wrong notes.

[Dave90425]

1:13 sounds really out dude i don't think its the notes.

[alexatetris]

@Dave90425 Oh wow, you are absolutely right! And may I just say you have a great ear, and superior attention to detail! It's the D. I checked it over and it is literally the only out of tune note on my piano.

Cheers to you man.

[Dave90425]

@alexatetris Thanks a lot dude. I was just looking out.

I want to tell you again how good of a job you did despite the single out of tune D.

[TheWillBoyce]

I jizzed out all of my organs when I listened to this. If you slowed it down just a tad it would honestly be perfect. Haha also you should send it to THA and try out to be their new keyboardist. :)

[alexatetris]

@TheWillBoyce Haha, uh good to know?

THA have seen the video, but I would honestly be a nervous wreck if I ever had to play live for them!

[xScreamToRisex]

this only made my year....beautiful.

[SlubberBub]

I want this on MP3

[Mysunflowerseed]

Wow, Wow this is beautiful and amazing!!!!!!! Great Job!

[adioskaterdude999]

wow dude that was really inspiring!

cool to hear such a classically inspired piece performed on a more traditional classical musical instrument.

and you nailed it. sick job my friend!

[alexatetris]

@adioskaterdude999 Thank you, that means a lot to me.

[MatthewDCarroll]

@alexatetris You're very very talented! amazing job. :)

[TheLastMango61]

Great rendition! Sounds awesome on piano

[Nickels53]

Absolutely love it! Great job on the interpretation!

[Gliany]

starting today, i am going to listen this every single day of my remaining life.

[TheBlitzkriege]

I love the classical feel the band brings to metal, and I love the classical feel they inspire in pianists. Great job! Sounds really 15th century or something, I like it.

[alexatetris]

@TheBlitzkriege thank you! I agree, too many people who are into metal these days don't seem to realize the incredible parallel there is between metal and classical. They are probably more similar to each other than any other genre. Personally, I am a classical fan first, but Prog/Neo-classical metal is a close second!

[raket94]

@alexatetris True, metal is a lot like classic music!

[ThyArtIsMetal]

@alexatetris i could not agree with this statement more, i truly believe that all good metal today has to come from a metal head who listens to classical music. The combination of metal with classical instruments just fits so well together (i know thats not exactly what your saying but i stand by it)

[alexatetris]

@ThyArtIsMetal That is actually my mindset exactly, I was just apprehensive about being so blunt about it, haha!

[EnvoytoOpenFields]

I like it better with the pauses. It sounds more organic. It's beautiful, especially with the lighting and camera positioning. Thumbs up.

[calpoop]

good job THA posted this on their facebook

[alexatetris]

@calpoop I know, I just saw it! I almost passed out from the overwhelming happiness I felt.

[calpoop]

@alexatetris haha nice

[Sumerian314]

sounds amazing. may try to learn it one day as well :)

[alexatetris]

@Sumerian314 Do it! It's tricky but it's a lot of fun :)

[Pablothe]

amazing video, subscribed.

[ProphetOfShred]

I really like it.

[joshbeau]

that was unbelievable

[alexatetris]

@joshbeau Thank you, I enjoyed your cover as well :)

[MrClubFight]

2:03 love this part,,, very nice

[alexatetris]

@MrClubFight Thank you :)

Are you a Human Abstract fan?

[MrClubFight]

@alexatetris no am not a fan, I know the music only by you. and I like it. So I'm your fan, keep it up;-)

[alexatetris]

@MrClubFight Aww thank you! You should definitely check them out, I hear their new album is "Muse meets Between the Buried and Me".
