Pinkie's Brew (Piano Cover)

[evenfall369]

THEN THE QUEST FOR BOTHERING BEGINS!

[OctaviasPianist]

@evenfall369 Good luck!

[evenfall369]

Hey, I just wanted to ask. How did you learn piano? Was it a tutor? Or did you teach yourself by some amazing feat?

[OctaviasPianist]

@evenfall369 After bothering my parents for a bit, I got them to pay a private teacher to give me lessons. My only real regret in life is not starting piano earlier....

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

You hold your hands in a weird way.

Somehow it helps you play better :|

[evenfall369]

Man, the way you manipulate your fingers independently is amazing! Any advice on how to do the same? Or is it just a lot of practice?

[OctaviasPianist]

@evenfall369 Thank you!! Some tips for this piece: get the right hand down so well you don't have to look at it, this allows more focus on hitting the left hand chords. As fair as independence, the main melody just descends the F minor scale (mostly) and the interludes (ie "instrumenal") parts feature arpeggios- all of this applies to right hand only. In left hand recognize the chords So it's a lot of practice and having the theory (and sheet music) internalized. Good luck!

[Bronywatcher1]

I need to get back to the piano so that one day i can play music like this. This is utterly amazing. +1 likes, +1 fave, +20% coolness, +9001 respect. Here's a brohoof for ya, /).

[OctaviasPianist]

@Bronywatcher1 (\ Thank you!! Good luck in your future piano endeavors!

[Bronywatcher1]

@OctaviasPianist Welcome, I do my best!

[Bronywatcher1]

@Bronywatcher1 *will do my best*

[Pichu101780]

I cannot give this enough likes.

[FairyBubblePuppy]

Don't lie. Who sang along?

[PureMagic101]

Thank you SOOO freaking much for including sheet music!!

[Hanson12075]

[MrMalikLucius]

@Hanson12075 Rather, Ludvig von BeetHOOFen ;)

[AnimeKait]

:D

I have always wanted to play this song ever since I heard it, but have not reached that level of skill yet. One day I hope to play this song and your video has given me more inspiration! Thank you so much!

[OctaviasPianist]

@AnimeKait I'm very glad to hear that! Practice makes perfect, good luck!

[rattusvulpes]

OP, I only play by chords and by ear. Can you tell me the chord progression (roughly) you're using on your left hand? Thank you kindly!

[OctaviasPianist]

@rattusvulpes Since I can't post links in the comments, I'll send you a pm with them.

[PikRobo]

@TypicalUsername1 Nice ghost ref

[TypicalUsername1]

YOU GUYS HEAR THAT?! IT'S THE BRONY'S VERY OWN BRONY PENIST 

[hamburgermiam]

@OctaviasPianist its great that you got a great comment from the creator of this song... :D good job you are verry talented! and brohoof!... since its pony related you know... :)

[Innuya]

What skill, thanks so much for making a video <33 This song makes me happy everytime

[mlp1kawaii3ikaaa]

Wow, you must be very talented to transcribe this yourself! I can't thank you enough for the sheet music; I can play the treble clef of the piece now (but don't play the piano so I can't read the base clef :/ ) so anyway this is great and thank you for making it :)

[MidwestBrony]

Mr. Pianist, I have been toying with the idea of learning the piano for a while (years) and just wanted to say that after seeing this video about a week ago, along with getting a rinky dink "Learn Piano in 6 Weeks" book for Christmas, I'll be picking up a digital piano tomorrow. It'll take me a while, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to learn this song eventually. Thanks for the motivation and this awesome cover. :)

[OctaviasPianist]

@MidwestBrony No, thank you MidwestBrony for making my day by telling me that and making my day!!!!!!!!! I'm beyond glad you're going to learn piano and I wish you the best of luck! It might be a little tricky at first but with practice and persistence you'll definitely be able to play this, and any other song you might want to learn!

PS I'm in the Midwest part of the United States too, small world, lol

[lemake72]

I was impressed, and then I wondered who would be so awesome to make it. I saw and was like, "That makes sense."

[OctaviasPianist]

@vash9252 If you mean this song /watch?v=JjBjtktLT9U it's identical to the original song, "Beverly Hills Cop Theme" I found a video that has the piano sheet music here:

/watch?v=_N2EOF-ffhI

Hopefully this helps, I want to stick to learning either 1) songs from the show, or

2) original songs inspired by the show, so I'm most likely not going to learn this.

[vash9252]

where did you find sheet music for this?

[OctaviasPianist]

@vash9252 I transcribed it myself, hope it serves you well!

[Todd3233]

Nice you kicked that song's ass! (in a good way) :D

[FallOutBrony]

Hey, with this sheet music, I could trick the entire strings program at my school into doing this at a concert. You deserve so much free ice cream. SO MUCH!

[NekfireStorm]

Badass cover =D

[SidArthuraSutton]

oh the poor guy....

[Mincho1994]

As long as you have 5 fingers on each hand, no matter how small your hands are you can still sound awesome with enough practice.

Kudos to you.

[gerorofreak]

Your one cool brony! Can u make a tutorial? Plz!

[K7E7I]

Wow, thank you so much for posting the sheet music! Can't thank you enough.

[dundeecake]

ENCORE! Great job! I hope I'll be able to play like this in the future.

[as1anlad]

amazing

[OMGItzFokral]

Wonderfully played :') Many thanks for the sheet music, too - Was exactly what I was looking for when I found this :)

[ppgbuttercup22]

This is incredible. I love this song and you did a really great job on it. You have a lot of talent :)

[LinkEX]

Wow, my hands are rather small as well, but you're doing a great job with even smaller hands!

Props on that, i might give the Keyboard a try after all :D

[OctaviasPianist]

@LinkEX Do it! And good luck!

[LinkEX]

@OctaviasPianist thanks! i will.

[kunstderfugue]

WOAH! Awesome job dude!

[zachesmith]

LIKE A BAWS! You should give me piano lessons. I've always wanted to learn.

[specklednoodle99]

This is amazing to say the least

[th3d0c101]

Holy Christ. I knew the song was complicated but I had no idea it was anything that intense. This is amazing.

[anicfanz44]

I sang along :3

[Quazy0]

Confound this sheet music, I can never learn it.

[iamfilleg]

Really nice. :)

[Hendrikspan101]

you have incredibly small hands...

[OctaviasPianist]

@Hendrikspan101 You're right; I can only get an interval of a ninth when I stretch out my hand. Copious amounts of practice has counteracted this shortcoming though, lol

[Hendrikspan101]

@OctaviasPianist Well its good to see that you have such talent! :D

[abjuron]

*applause*

[Frogfish999]

what the heck is pinkie's brew?

[MoarDoctorWho]

@Frogfish999 A song from the incredible Friendship is Witchcraft.

[Frogfish999]

@MoarDoctorWho yah, I just looked it up, pretty good

[Frozenflutter]

:D, amazing! Now, I must learn how to play the piano just for this ^-^

[gurglelord]

Anyone ever tell you you're one of the best pianists they've ever heard? If not, let me be the first. Brilliant job with this cover! Loved every bit of it! God bless you!

[OctaviasPianist]

[TheCrooper]

Thanks very much for the sheets, awesome arrangement

[Martykun36]

I'll take it you're left-handed.

[OctaviasPianist]

@Martykun36 I wish, it would've made the left hand part so much easier!

[EsoomSpark]

[PinkCharmander]

Freakin' Epic!

[DJBRON3]

*slow clap*

WELL DONE.

[TheVoxxification]

The extended version has only been online for 48 hours and in a quarter of that you wrote out and learned the song...that is fantastic.

[PyroBits]

[otakon17]

Very Good! Excellent work, really nothing else to say.

[SherclopPones]

seriously incredible! Better than I can play it!

[OctaviasPianist]

@SherclopPones I'm really glad you liked it!!!!!

[RavenKavanagh]

....I may have to use your sheet music and do a cover of my own of this, if that's okay. This is brilliant and you are brilliant for doing this!

[OctaviasPianist]

@RavenKavanagh Of course it'd be alright! That's what I was hoping for when I posted the sheet music! Good luck learning it! :)

[happyorks1]
