My brother played by ear when he still lived at home. It's a talent I am very much wishing I had. You are so gifted, your songs make my soul weep for my piano back under my hands.
Huge Avril fan here :) And I must say I am rather impressed by ur covers!!! They truly match the songs PERFECTLY!! Awesome work!!! Have u done What the Hell yet?
@TheBigChillQueen Hi! Thank you for your really lovely comment! I am delighted you've been enjoying my Avril covers. She's an amazing artist. Yeah, I did cover WTH - youtube[dot}com/watch?v=rvALZj6opJU Hope you like it! :)
Yeah, I am kinda open to requests, although my requests list is really long at the moment, and I am not having much time to do new videos these days. However, let me know what your request is (and if you don't mind a long wait....) :)
Really? That's amazing!!!! You're really good. I was looking for a cover of Who's to say (Vanessa Cartlon) and I got to you! All the songs you put here are great. I'll try that page, thank you :) -sorry if my english is not so good haha-
@iochuz Hey iochuz! Thanks for your lovely comment :) I am delighted you enjoyed my cover.
I play all my covers by ear, so don't have any notated sheet music. I'm pretty sure you'd find this song commercially available though. Have you tried musicnotes [dot] com?
@heikoyh It's a Casio Privia PX-320 piano. And it's not going through an amp in this recording - just a line out direct to the laptop for recording. Really glad you enjoyed the cover. Thanks for your kind comment :)
You can't see me, but I am on my knees bowing down to you. You are gifted and you have shared your gift with the world. Thank you so much for posting your WONDERFUL musical interpretations!
You are so so so great!!!! You are an inspiration for me! when I want to stop playing, because I think I can't do it anyway, I just listen to your covers and then I want to practice again in the hope I'll become as good as you are someday.
@Applezys Generally, I can 'hear' most melodic & harmonic events as they occur and play them back accurately. The problem is simply with memory! If I listen to a 4 or 5 second section of music, I can play it back; if I listen to 20 seconds of music, it's probably too long to do it all in one go. The other issue is my piano arrangement: I'm not listening to a piano piece and just copying it; I'm listening to a multi-layered texture and adapting it. So HOW it's played needs work - about 2 hrs ish!
Just wanted to say that I've discovered your videos on Youtube a few days ago,and I can't stop watching them. Your piano playing is absolutely flawless. I always sing along with your instrumentals,especially the Avril ones,and I never spotted any mistake. Congratulations for your work and I'm looking forward to seeing more videos from you. Oh and,do you take requests?
@Undermyskin18 Hi! Thank you for your really lovely and generous comment! :) I'm so glad you're enjoying my videos. I must correct you - i DO make mistakes sometimes! There's one in particular in this 'Innocence' vid, which make me cringe every time I listen to it! Lol. But generally, I am a complete perfectionist, which means I often do many, MANY takes of a video until I am happy. I never edit mistakes out after recording though, so the sound is always one complete recording (live)...
And I understand how you're feeling. I am like that too. I have videos that I re-do at least 5 times because I find small mistakes that make me go crazy. But even if you did make a mistake,the beauty of the whole instrumental makes it look insignificant,trust me.
@Undermyskin18 ...Sorry, I was writing so much I needed two messages to reply! Lol. I don't generally do requests. However, if it's a song that I am actually considering anyway, then it kinda gives me a little nudge to just do it. So by all means ask me - I won't promise, but I will certainly consider what you suggest at least! Remember, some songs just don't 'sit well' on the piano. Worse still, others don't 'sit well' in my head! Either way, I tend to avoid those! Thanks for your support!!! :)
@slightlymaduk I understand. You must like a song in order to cover it,and not all songs go well on the piano,it depends on the melody or whatever. I was thinking of Nobody's Home by Avril Lavigne. It's my favourite song and I would really appreciate if you could take my request into consideration. You've also posted some Avril covers and I assumed you like her music. But it's alright if you don't post a cover,I'll keep watching your awesome videos anyway :D
@Undermyskin18 I have good news! I've already covered 'Nobody's Home' - it's a cracking song!!! Hope you like it!!! w w w dot youtube dot c o m /watch?v=RGvZIhgWiBg
