@teamvibralux what the heck does that mean? he learned this by ear, he will play it the way he wants to, no body told Tommy Emmanuel to play Classical Gas the way Eric Clapton or Mason Williams played it. he did it his own style. its just music, if he wants to play it fast then he will, its his choice!
@teamvibralux wow comment removed! i did not call you one name, and you had to go and call me one...i was not starting anything with you, but just so you know, there are many different ways to play one song, like Cannon, list to Axes of Awesome 4 chords song, and there is proof that it is by choice music can be played in any style regardless or weather its the same song or not.
@FalseMarkl either way its good! amazing you can learn something so hard by ear like that. im learning this on guitar...and honestly, it might not have been easy, but haha it sounds easier XD
THE TROUBLE WITH PEOPLE TRYING TO DO A VERSION OF THIS SONG, IS THAT EVERYONE TRIES TO PROVE HOW WELL THEY CAN PLAY IT AND END UP PLAYING WAAY TOO FAST.. RUINS IT. PS MY CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS BUSTED LOL.
@guitarmolester....WTF! what gives you the right to slate someone like that????? be real.....your either mozart or some ego twisted twat sure of their own supremacy...grow up & realise there will ALWAYS be someone better than you!
I must say it was good but you didn't play the brass part thats all i wanted to hear lol. My brass quintet at our school is gonna play this with a guitar player
Awesome that was cool gotta tell my gf to play it ...... don't get me wrong or don't hate but when I play it in my guitar I think it sounds better but that was cool
I reckon you did play by ear...it's not impossible to play songs by ear, especially when you're translating it into a piano piece. Some people have a natural talent for it whereas others strive for the ability to learn songs by ear with perserverance and eventually achieve it.
@guitarmolester Not to be rude, what is it about this one video that makes people believe I can't play by ear? As you said, and I completely agree, this is only an OK version with many issues that need to be worked out. If I had learned this with sheet music I would have known the correct chords at 0:58 and all repetitions of that section. There must be some sheet music really similar to what I played here; I swear I haven't used any. Anyway though, thanks for the compliment
May I suggest letting off the sustain pedal a bit more? It's very muddy. Otherwise, you're doing pretty good, but I would love to hear it played again :D I used to hold the sustain pedal down all the time too, but I learned to focus on legato touch more, so I don't rely on the pedal as much. Good job! p.s. keep learning to read music, it's the most useful tool any musician has, even if they "play by ear".
@PiercingLight Let up, he's just a kid, you prude! Most notes are flat and don't carry as well than NOT THEN with the sustain. You need to have your tuners checked! You pierce dreams and aspirations with that name you got there, ya Killjoy? Probably.
wtf? prude? killjoy? What the hell is your problem? I'm offering useful advice to an amateur musician. excuse the hell out of me. I was trying to be friendly and helpful. eat me.
@piercinglight I apologize for that blatant and unruly comment . I'm usually that way when I don't have my morning joe and a bran muffin. Otherwise, I'm fine. Forgive me?
Guys, back off, this kid has raw talent on the piano. And i belive he must have learned this by ear. I play the piano also im only 12 but i started when i was 4. I play every song i know by ear, everyone in my family can do it. Its just a talent. Trust me, this kid wouldnt lie about that! Come on guys cut him some slack.
Hmm, if I listen to Mason Williams playing it on guitar and compare it with your version, I would say that you are too fast. Sometimes a lot, sometimes only slightly.
how can i be so sure? because i know the guy dumbass... you backed yourself right into a corner on that one didnt ye? and congrats you play piano and guitar... i play piano trumpet guitar and drums... there a beat you 2/2 on that... would you like to continue, mate?
you don't know me at all, nice try. No, I didn't memorize sheet music because if I did I would have hit the correct chords in certain spots that I didn't get right. give me a little credit here
how do you know that i dont know you? I personally just have never told you my youtube account... doesnt mean i dont want to spoil your lies to the youtube world.
If you did know me then you would know that I haven't actually taken the time to learn the treble clef because I learn my music by ear. I only know bass clef since I play a separate instrument that requires it. Anyway, I'm not going to keep this argument going any longer after this, so don't bother replying
Hey i'm gonna believe you did this by ear out of respect for fellow musicians plus there are a few flaws, but a lot of it is a complete replica from a sheet music i've seen, so you must have freaking amazing ears, and i'd like to say that even if its not by ear just playing it alone is amazing. Your gonna be a great musician, heck you already are.
I have learned many things by ear myself however for guitar, But its not always as easy as it seems or looks. Either way your good. Don't be modest ^^
For anybody who's interested, I may be posting videos of When You Were Young and Bohemian Rhapsody fairly soon. Also, although very unlikely, a tutorial for Baba O'Reilly may also be posted.
this is really good piano playing... but i think you've got the whole song in the wrong key. it's one of my favourite songs so i know it well and am going to find a piano version if i can.
Good job, how old are you? You should thank your parents for getting you such a beautiful piano, most have to put up with out of tune coffins but this one sounds nice.
you just made my day!
