Fired (Ben Folds cover)

[ChazWick4]

Nailed it! I wanna learn this so bad. I got zak n sara and losing lisa down but this ish is just too hard for me!

[pl0xified1]

aw you killed the solo wtf was that =0 great playing and singing otherwise =)

[threepennny]

Dude! Way too fast! But it's awesome all the same. Nice job on the high notes. Too bad you're not on a mike because your voice sounds great but the piano drowns it out.

I want to play this so bad!

[GarthAlgar567]

boo for not playing the solo. other than that good job!

[sir3noftitan]

Folds' piano beat in this song is unbelievable.

[q0zi]

As Borat would say, "Very Nice!"

[q0zi]

I love when people brag about playing an instrument and then somebody just says "yeah, I'm okay" and completely destroys them. You should totally do that.

[jmhoobafoo]

amazing! I don't think I could ever do justice to this song but you TOTALLY DID!

[tikalal]

Wow, a Ben Folds cover where someone bothered to learn the song PROPERLY!

Props!

[DerHellRazor]

Woo Eb's at the end!!

Really, that's a good song, and it's awesome to play. You're one of the actually good ones as you add your own notes into it. That's great dude.

[tekinsane]

wow I wish I could do that

[fillXinXblankXstares]

Haha that was amazing. I love the ending!!! Good job, dude!

[WatchThis12admin]

ha i wish i cud play piano like that. i have trouble with fucking mary had a little lamb.

[redram9]

wow amazing, need to quiet the piano and yell out mother fucker but other than that GREAT JOB.

[youenjoy00myself]

this is totally freakin awesome, minus the solo hahaha, and of course you forgot the one most important lyric that makes the whole song...... but otherwise great

[0hJessicaJean]

i love this

[daredevildanielx]

oh snaps

[JayPerf]

hell in a basket in the solo section lol

[pfmf03]

excellent!!!

[jstover8]

nice!

[KaileyLeBlanc]

Holy crap, this is amazing

[alex13isme]

i now aspire to be you.. thank you

[DiagonalHorizon]

fucking amazing.

[flamingamer]

Haha, 2:18 "You didn't think I was really gonna play that did you?"

[carlucci1106]

I was just revisiting this one this week, and was trying to work out the solo, as I have the book. And I used to kinda just improv it like you do- but now upon learning it a little better, and going through slow and deliberate it has paid off.

You play very well, and I empathize with you because Ben is hard to play well. I also am impressed that you memorize the whole song. Another thing, you really do sing the songs well (I have watched a lot of your videos).

[Jakesnake978]

amazing

[CesarMole]

clinical

[thebladeofdeath]

lol where's the f-bomb at the end??

[keatingpiers]

I agree with bgoods9956. You are a good piano player, and you can play the song, but the tempo is too fast.

[miawallace1993]

hmm.... I hate being such a cliche.

but I think I just fell in love..

[riotousprose]

dude. holy shit man this is a SICK cover. not only is your piano playing flawless, but your voice is so good dude keep it up!!! you could really do something!

[thatsabadtouch]

check out those muscles..

:)

[drpepper131324]

This is amazing. I've been playing piano for over 10 years, and I started Fired about a week ago, and have referenced this video about 20 times. You really play it well.

[lynoslo95]

NICE!

[johnnybgood12345]

lol way too fast but still perfect note wise.

[ShokaAttenborough]

It's faster than the original, but I wouldn't describe it as 'way too fast'. It still sounds damn good. If it was played too fast, it'd sound crap, and this doesn't.

[nravicchio]

can you make a tutorial? or slow it down and shoot it from a different angle, so that we can see your fingers??

i'd LOVE love love to learn this song.

[PianoChild5]

There's a book full of sheet music for the album. Check that out. It's way to complex for a tutorial.

[bgoods9956]

It's really good, but your tempo is all over the place...

[stlouisrules]

amazing...you need to submit this to ben folds contest for best cover

[bobstlaurent]

Fukin' awesome!! THX

[broadwayXluver1]

youre fantastic. i hope someday i can play like you! im just starting to take piano lessons and my aspirations are extremely high! simply beautiful, ben folds is a genius and so are you!

[slapstik89]

lol, bloody fantastic. Laughed at the two notes you just randomly chucked in at the end.

[stlouisrules]

that was fuckin awesome

[pippin45]

dude, fantastic. i love this song, and you nailed it.

[soxbaseball13]

The notes seem to flow off your fingers and through your voice unbelievably. I know you're working on a CD and stuff. If there is one cover song you keep on it...please make it this one. Bravo sir.

[ndpitch]

"you didn't really think i was gonna play that, did ya?"

haha, nice playing dude.

[jasper7792]

this is unbelievable

[AsianTwinkies]

Absolutely fantastic :]

6/5 stars for the win

[Jrod003]

hey dude sounds good.. one thing.. the chord before the piano solo is

F A C E with a G in the bass.. it sounds better than that G7 I think you were playin

[TheOreoMan]

Just a great cover, good voice, impressive piano skills (not dumbed down piano part either)

You rock, good cover.

[AnomieUnknown]

Sir, you have the energy of a bear, a bear who has the energy of THREE BEARS!

5/5 stars, best damn cover I've ever heard.

[zero76464]

6 stars.

[itstayla]

lol i loooveed it.

amazing amazing amazing.

[rdevera23]

WOW.

[dedinskp]

I noticed that this is not the original version and I thought I'd just say that your version of the song is sounds amazing. Do you have any sheet music for it? I would REALLY like to get my hands on a few pages.

[Beatles9956]

I would take it down a step or two, some of the higher notes sounded strained, and your lower register sounds amazing.

[ellieuhnor]

i love your voice! If only the piano were a little quieter...

[crakhamster]

holy hell the only songs i can play by ben folds is sentimental guy and landed!! dude how long have u been playing and where did u find the music?!?!?

Very nice job. Yeah the solo in that song is f*cking crazy.

[Dragonrocks]

This is probably your best Ben Folds cover song, I liked when you didn't play the solo and admitted it, that was the best part!

[ScottStudios1]

Did they actually make sheet music for this song???

[orderandnumber]

I can't remember if I used sheets for this. I've known it forever.

[emily2210]

[bucjason]

Awesome job. Come on now, give us "you to thank" the best Ben Folds song there is . Fun to play and sing but I bet you'd nail it. Beware the jazzy part at the end of the song :)

[orderandnumber]

there is no way I could play that song. you need fingers that can bend steel to play it!!!!!!!

[bucjason]

I was begining to think you could bend steel,lol, some of your playing is quite impressive.
