I Don't Like Mondays Piano Boomtown Rats

[shocks656]

PLEASE TELL ME, where is the sheet music i LOVE it it's the best version of this i heard

[frankgallagherwasere]

I agree with so many others your improvisation is beautiful. The one thing Geldof gave us was the Boomtown Rats and they recorded some great music, sadly other things took over and the talent was lost and wasted. As with so many great songs the basic tune is perfect we just like to add our own little extras to make it feel like its part of us as all good music gets inside us - as anyone who loves music will know

[Amipunkiponk]

This is Fantastic... Bravo :)

[schtroumphettecha]

wonderful!!

[bloodhound2239]

this is the most beautiful version ive heard anywhere, can you tell me where you got the sheet music from (which book)

[sirmattblack]

@bloodhound2239 hi i learnt by ear so have no sheet music

[bloodhound2239]

@sirmattblack ok, that is amazing but i still have my doubts but anyway how long did it take you to learn it then?

[sirmattblack]

@bloodhound2239 There are no doubts, it takes about half hour to get basic chords with melody for a tune such as this but that would be a basic version. That would be basic verse and chorus. Then another session or two to work out intro, ending etc...but you end up playing it over and over anyway and add and embellish over time so what you play one month after your original version sounds much better. Not used to learning by ear will take a lot longer but the more you do it the better you get

[bloodhound2239]

@sirmattblack ok thnx for the feedback, ill keep on trying to learn by ear

[Xylkenn]

[TheSunrise211]

bravo

[tommytippy69]

wow this is good

[seesea1961]

You guys that play by ear are by far the best..... you have the emotion in your playing unlike some of the people that play from music...... I wish your recording had a little less reverb, though that may be on my end.

Thanks for Playing for us.

[dazisbi]

i dont think i've ever been so impressed, this is amazing

[Bradlysneezer]

The best thing about searching for music on YouTube is when you find the best version and this is it.

[hideoshik]

Muy buena versión, felicidades!

[Silversnapdragon]

This video hasn't gotten nearly the rating it deserves!!!!!!! Best version on youtube!!!!!!!!

[TheMIMI1925]

As a Rats fan I was really disappointed when I heard "Mondays" for the first time. I believe it was their first hit single outside the UK and Ireland. I knew their first stuff and liked the catchy punky rock songs, although they never were accepted in the punk rock scene (whatever that was). Now I hear this song, pure, no lyrics, no voices. And now I realise what a excellent song this is. Simple, but beautiful chords. The way you perform it, well I think Johnny Fingers can be proud of you.

[jamesmykal]

nice..I am learning basic rythem on this-you almost make me wanna just give up

[sirmattblack]

Never give up keep practicing and it will come

[korrie97]

@sirmattblack wise words:P

[sirmattblack]

@jamesmykal Never give up keep practicing and it will come

[canadiankazz]

Well done. I was able to sing along. ^_^ Keep up the good work!

[calzak6]

Thanks for the great interpretation. I am trying to learn this off cheat sheets to accompany my voice by ear, and seeing your hands was very helpful and gave me a better idea of how to structure the chords. Plus, very nice work with the left hand at the end in getting the syncopation between the rythem and melody. I will be turning the piano towards the screen and watching this video another hundred times. Respectfully.......bobo houston8354@comcast.net

[krontokoekoe]

You're much better than the original. Really !

[UN1QU3drummer]

[UN1QU3drummer]
