Haha, I love the discussion. I'm glad that you are both open musicians in terms of both criticism and interpretation. Nice play through on Lilium and Colors. I don't think I'm fit to critique either though. Keep up the work. It's nice to see vids like this.
I really don't like your arrangement at all. The altered rhythm completely changes the mood of the song. It's way too fast and upbeat. This song is supposed to be slow, sad, and beautiful. The worst part is that you're not counting the beats in the measures. Instead of holding out long notes, you cut straight to the next measure. Frankly, it's just not good.
You're an amazing musician, but this arrangement wasn't done well. You have the talent to do better. I've loved all of your other videos.
Ahh yes, I also been too focued in most alegretto to allegro tempo paced music - once again thanks for the comment (forgot this when I wanted to thank you)
Really glad you weren't offended by my comment. I was worried I came off a little harsh.
Don't worry man, it's just this one video I thought wasn't too good. Everything else I've seen from you is amazing. And the arrangement itself isn't bad, I would think that if it were played at a proper rhythm and tempo it would be beautiful.
Can't wait for more videos, I'm sure the next one won't disappoint me ;) Keep playing, man.
Hey - no worries: it's constructive feedback that I needed.
Hopefully, the next one won't disappoint you - but for some reason it still hasn't been uploaded
I also know that I need to work on these types of songs a lot more ... so could you send me a list of some songs of these type that I could listen to and attempt to work on (preferably anime / video game music)?
-Himeta Omoi (Hidden Feelings) from YuGiOh (search it on youtube, you'll see an awesome cover)
-Innocence from Shuffle
-Several songs from the anime Air... particularly Futari, Esoragoto, Koko, Kawa, Natsukage.
Not requests, btw, just suggestions for practice ;) Also sorry this list is a little short, I'm having a brain fart now. I'll let you know if I think of anything else. I could hook you up with mp3's if you need it.
By the way, I'd appreciate it if you'd check out my Natsukage (Summer Lights) video in my profile. Just put it up a couple hours ago and your feedback would be awesome.
I know I'm not as good as you are, but I think it's not half bad ;)
Sure I don't mind. You'll have to give me some time because I've never heard it, so in order for me to give feedback, I have to know and have heard the music.
I'll give it feedback after I've heard it enough times for me to give it constructive feedback.
Seams like you have a song from all of my favorite animé's =P
I'll give you my subscription =)

Hi there - thanks for commenting
Yeah, true that - I still haven't had time to work on some nicer toned pieces and get that touch like Rael0505.
Thanks for the feedback

Hi there!
Go on ahead - you don't have to be really great to give feedback. So, go on ahead and give your criticism

Hey - thanks for commenting
Hmm - that's quite true, I've been exposing myself to waay too many fast songs that I've forgotten how to play slow almost. Cool, thanks for that!

Cool - it's not small at all: it's enough for me to start working on
If you know where you got your mp3's, it would be great if you could send them to me. Thanks once again!
