Greatest piano solo ever! Learn to play like this.

[calcmandan]

I miss Oscar Peterson.

[zmanofwar3]

This is from Sweet Georgia Brown

[wolby2010]

wow stephen k amos has gotten fat

[Playpianokey]

He learned from his upbringing and a good piano teacher then listening and experimenting and working hard and then of course ARt Tatum....Don't try to be anyone but yourself.

[nike292]

Nicolas, de France!

INCROYABLE

[Pinkjot]

"Learn to play like this" - sadly, that's not an option.

[fredjazzpianist]

The greatest. No ifs, ands or buts. RIP, my Friend, and Mentor.

[utubuser10]

methinks he once played chopin's Bb minor sonata...

[raverbaby72]

Technically brilliant but sounds crap. Would rather listen to fur lise which any amateur can play.

[slapmyfunkybass]

@raverbaby72 why crap? good timing, harmonically sound, i don't get your comment

[fredjazzpianist]

@raverbaby72

Oscar Peterson has nothing to prove to anyone, least of all to a piss-ant (you) It's said that when a person appreciates something for what it is, it says more about that person than it does about the thing being appreciated. What you've said about yourself here is how remarkably small your world and your mind is. We don't want to know you, and really, you shouldn't even post in this arena. You have nothing of consequence to say, and no one is listening...so Shut Up!!

[meatball3835]

this fuckin guy sucks.

[ZlayoSelce]

why should I?

[Anathemael]

OH MY GOD.



[RandosityUploader]

I can't even see his hands because it's too dark to see...

[syndddd]

.....

[hess45able]

Yes, lots of technique - but what else he's got?

[DSDMovies]

@hess45able The respect of his peers, legendary status, numerous awards, millions of fans. Might as well say of an architect 'Yes, he can build great houses, but what else can he do?' Being a genius isn't enough for you? Maybe you'd have been more impressed if juggled at the same time?

[slapmyfunkybass]

@hess45able what more do you want?

[hess45able]

@slapmyfunkybass

Music!

[fredjazzpianist]

@hess45able

...Lots of technique? besides the chops, he created the solo that he's playing on the spot. Take the sheet music away from you, tell you to play something out of your head, and let's see how far you get, you moron...

[hess45able]

@fredjazzpianist

Well, I may have a problem with Peterson’s approach to music. But being able to play fast and technically correct isn’t an essential criterion in my dictionary when I value the quality of music.

[sinatraswingsit]

@hess45able Ive looked at who you like...Hmmmmmm...Your listening to a gift!!!

[hess45able]

@sinatraswingsit ,,, but I'm bored! sorry, can't help it.

[hess45able]

@fredjazzpianist

As you may know (?) there are many approaches to music. For example, I don’t like Stockhausen, but I recognize his musical capabilities. Same with Peterson – but I just don’t like his approach – prefer, say, Bill Evans or Keith Jarrett. We are not alike, fortunately. Ever heard about the word toleration?

[Superphilipp]

@hess45able "Ever heard about the word toleration?"

I haven't, as a matter of fact. I believe you mean "tolerance".

[tonewheeler76]

@hess45able

taste, skills, style, the ability, musical understanding and feeling to even play like this, timing, a shit load of cash on his account,...

enough attributes?

[olibo64]

How many are they ????

[SnaggaToothCatFish]

Wow

[BasilaPPP]

piano masturbating

[trancosomarcus]

Unbelievable....



[marlborr0]

Marian Petrescu just made a "dislike" account and checks in all Oscar's videos. Lame...

[suburbanite80]

looks like he`s talking to the piano

[nascarracefan88]

Top of their game!!!! Love it!!!

[Tobbe999999999999999]

I love how that double-bass player at 0:29 smiles and shakes his head like: that shit is fucking crazy!

[lugt4788]

@Tobbe999999999999999 like the guitarman, but....how can oscar be smiling like that, beside playing that sick stuff....like it was easy...

[Lowellrefugee]

Hey...The big"O". What's not to love?

[loboris1995]

see marc andre hamelin

[ILL14ify]

Crazy :D

[EyMeng]

so maqny child prodigies out there, but only a few get past being able to play a concerto; oscar could probably improvise a concerto

[bonez093]

bernie mac?

[iruv69]

Secret to playing this solo easily = Move your lips like he did

[DrDubious1]

The awful thing about this video is that the camera operator resolutely refuses to keep the damned camera on Oscar's hands! How could anyone be that stupid?

[James9533]

Love that smile at 0:44. He knows he murdered this solo. Totally in his element

[dwightjordan12]

12,280th viewer, probably the 12,280th amazed too

[wheeelman]

Oscar Peterson trio live '77. Amazing music!

[wheeelman]

Oscar Peterson trio live '77. Amazing music!

[IainM887]

the worst part is at 0:59

[Arturostunes]

If you'd really like to get started on a journey to be able to play, just like he does - Please, pass through m profile and look for my easyasthatpiano website; it's a 5 dollar thing. And it teaches you how to play in less than a week... :)

[PB4711]

the best of all

[jackwarrenguitar]

the guy is a genius!!

[loxyloxan]

i was the 2001st view WOOT

[aparantaz2]

ah, and why is the vid called "learn to play like this"? thanks for stealing my time

[VanargrandsEnd]

@aparantaz2 He stole your time?, one of the greatest solos known to pianists and your complaining? are you for real?

[Arturostunes]

@VanargrandsEnd haha I wouldn't say one of the greatest. - He's incredible & It made me smile big time :P. - That was some real hardcore playing...xD, full on bass rythm while he's soloing as fast as he can; it was superb & i give this video a million thumbs up. - But there are many more just like him....It's not a surprise, really.

[Arturostunes]

@aparantaz2 He's trying to advertise a website to learning how to play - But i don't think there's one better than one on the easyasthatpiano website :l.... - Not only because it is mine, but because It's got secrets that no other has :D

[rillloudmother]

hahaha! learn to play like oscar peterson? the course must be only for musical geniuses...

[perchst]

Now where did I see this before.....hmmmm..... :-)

[Namnam54]

@perchst Mabye he reminds you of the "pop out guy" ? Just maybye.
