Secret Piano Battle Re-enactment

[jsm051685]

hes not asian... which means hes chuck norris!

[johnnywangh]

Holy shit you are sick man. I can play the first two songs but not as perfect and as fast as you. Well done

[Makenor13]

You played Secret so fast that you went back 40 years in the past instead of 20!! xD

[XayasukiX]

Not to be picky but Is your piano out of tune or is the duet just unsynchronized?

[haloxgeneration]

@XayasukiX A little bit of both. The duet's off sync is because of my computer's video capabilities at the time. I had a pretty bad video card so I just placed the video and audio wherever it would fit and hope for the best.

[XayasukiX]

You should practice the 1st song more so that you can play it consistently without mistakes :)

[MrBradleyification]

Lol 3:16

[0Oddsocks0]

doesnt it hurt when you do the black key slide thing at the start? T__T i tried and failed

[haloxgeneration]

@0Oddsocks0 No, it didn't for me. But it depends on the smoothness of the black keys and if they are worn down or not. Sometimes it hurts if the keys are not worn down.

[0Oddsocks0]

@haloxgeneration It must be that my piano is really stiff and old, i have to cover my hands with sleeves while sliding or else it just fails :(

btw how long did it take you to learn the secret time travel theme? :O your hands and fingers are amazingly quick!

[Makenor13]

@0Oddsocks0 It's named Glissando xD and it's not too difficult for a quite good pianist.

[haloxgeneration]

@jhpiano8 Hahaha. Nahhh. That'd be cool though. I forgot the change the angle of the camera when recording both parts so I just flipped the footage in Adobe to make it seem like I was facing myself.

[ITSANAZNOMG]

@haloxgeneration lol, i was there for ages thinking wtf

[anonymouspersonifica]

You should watch how I play and re-think of what you said on 2:59 :D

[GigAaron]

You play better than me, mother fucker. JKJK, liked and favorited:)

[XiaoYueLynn]

hey..may i ask?..did you take piano lessons before? and do you think this pieces can play in even 61 keys in keyboard? :( aww..i guess not..!?

[haloxgeneration]

@XiaoYueLynn I did take lessons before this but I wasn't really being classically trained until last year, when I started taking classical lessons. And I don't think these songs can be played on 61 keys. Sorry! =[

[DarkGenesis29]

Great :D

[xKJx25]

but at the 2:30 parts and the other one, it sounds different from the original... isnt it supposed to sound like 2 notes played at the same time each hit? =\ and its supposed to be bouncy? xP

[haloxgeneration]

@xKJx25 Well I just couldn't actually play the original so I just messed around with it. Sorry! D=

[xKJx25]

@haloxgeneration hahaha why r u saying sorry xD if u read my previous comment, u have the most amazing version :D

did u use music sheets for ALL of them? o_o

[haloxgeneration]

@xKJx25 Kinda. For the Piano Battle, the version I found on the sheets is slight different from the movie so I changed it a bit according to how I thought it was supposed to be and according to my skill level. =D

[xKJx25]

I.... Im just amazed... Never found an1 else who played these pieces as well as u did O_O

[erken]

Black Key: You play it faster than in the movie. :D That's nice.

Good job! :)

[imde1ulukin4]

damn - - .. u r scary .. haha !!

[lacrymosa85]

really really good

[yaaaao0xox]

what is the second part of the second song called?

ur really good btw

:)

[teldrah]

Your piano sounds a bit de-tuned, but otherwise your amazing :D

[djos3]

u have huge forearms...

[haloxgeneration]

@djos3 LMFAO! Well it was originally recorded in 16:9 format, but when it's compressed to 4:3 format, everything becomes squished sideways

[djos3]

@haloxgeneration yeh i think that they're bigger than ur biceps LOL

[Mathgenius21]

How long did it take you to do the Time Travel Theme?

[Mathgenius21]

3:56 is what I came to this video for I wasn't disappointed O_O Awesome!

[iraklikorkia]

Amazing work man

[hununuisnoob]

omg... you did it with one hand.

[peterabbid]

wow.

[alonzosmith83]

exellent!!!!!! how long have you been playing

[haloxgeneration]

@alonzosmith83 I think....5 years?

[ColorMeVicious]

well i will say you need to work on speed but you still did impress me. You should probably upload another version since youve probably had more practice since then. i am impressed that you re enacted the entire piano battle by yourself! Good work! I like the video :)

[jjjjhhrroo]

HAaha bet you had great fun doing that!, bit odd in some parts piano battle 3 wasn't that clear, but veryvery well done, im very impressed! :)

[1Sedicar]

your pretty good, but u definitely need more practice.

but I just gotta say when u played black keys the second time.

and u slid the black keys u only used 1 hand which is wrong. if u listen closely to

how jay does it, its different.

but no doubt u can play but u couldn't exactly say it was pro.

and how old are u?

what I'm saying is the slide on the black keys should not be just slide straight all the way down than straight all the way up.

[shichian1987]

@1Sedicar LOL go home and play the sliding until you're happy k? "slid the black keys u only used 1 hand which is wrong", "wrong" ? so one handed slide is WRONG and only jay is RIGHT? if you don't like his version go upload yours i'll be going and check if yours is RIGHT then.."no doubt u can play but u couldn't exactly say it was pro" well you're not the judge no one is asking for your judgement of being pro or not..i fucking like his version, and i've yet to listen to yours, so FUCK OFF!

[teckwei123]

omg..i really wanna kill u..too pro alr..haha..really hope ppl to teach me this few songs..T.T

[darkbowpure]

amazing

[Tofu572]

insane

[JMxSantiago]

Very Poor =[

[feixiangz123]

哥们 哈哈 黑键弹下来了  到了白键你咋就挂了呢？

[whoopsforgotmypiano]

im quite sorry, but your chopin etude was a bit messed up :( BUT FINE ANWYAs

[1Sedicar]

@whoopsforgotmypiano i

no mess-up here mate.

t is a variation on a chopin etude. composed by Jay Chou for the film Secret.

[pking199]

prodigy. anyway the sound is a wee bit too fast

[Kurumi818]

O_O

You are my idol! Haha!!! Seriously, amazing job dude! You can't say you suck at that part! That would be like saying I can't play the scales at ALL!! HAHA! I was just wondering, did you get the sheets for the third battle? Or was it by ear? You're amazing!!! :DDD

[haloxgeneration]

the sheets are at gangqinpu . com. And the sheets are slightly inaccurate so I changed a few parts. Thanks =D

[speedshot0503]

[Insert transition here]

XD

[mychemfreak246]

u make me wanna quit piano man! i cud never match up to that. :(

[haloxgeneration]

Don't quit! You'll be just as good, with just a bit of practice!

[KynosaurTheMighty]

You seem to have a pretty bad habit of speeding up wayyyyyy too much. The time travel theme was almost perfect though. Fantastic :)

[Tybu2585]

The one hand part was actually really good.

[TonchaiSaetern]

i don't care what anyone esle says but damn! you can play piano! you even suprise me man! see you soon and we'll work on some stuff*

[haloxgeneration]

Yeah! Looking forward to it!

[blueberr1]

Enter a talent show and play 4..... Definite possibility of winning... XD

[haloxgeneration]

Hahaha. The sad thing is that I did and my group took 10th place.

[haloxgeneration]

5th. never mind. I don't know what I was thinking

[FearlessBoy38]

That was great , I like it.Can you plz make the tutorial for the pianobattle 1 and 3?

[shadowfienx]

dude slow down a bit :)

[haloxgeneration]

Hahaha. Thanks. =]

[aznjonOH]

very very nice. hey, we gotta do the piano battle again.

i finished the piano battle 1 so yeah. we can officially do it now

[haloxgeneration]

yeah. We just need two pianos. Hahaha. I need about $300 more to get a nice digital piano so then you can just come over and we can do the duel right here.

[FFPianoDude]

No 1. A bit too fast and it sounded sloppy :\

No 2. Sounded great! (I can play this one too but not as clean)

No 3. Ease up on the sustain pedal :)

No 4. 5/5

[haloxgeneration]

Thanks for the advice. =] I plan to have a better piano battle with my friend where we can actually play in response to each other and I don't have to guess what I sound like. Haha

[leethojojo]

OMG it's so cool yo !!!

[haloxgeneration]

Thanks. =]

[Jliangtoob]

u r the 1st on youtube i saw who play the battle 3 first part by one handed, although it's out of key but still awesome! great job!

[haloxgeneration]

Besides Jay Chou, that is. =]

[gmesncomps]

great vid man!

can you please tell me the name of the last song?

thank you!

GREAT VID

[haloxgeneration]

The songs in order are Black Key Etude, Chopin Waltz Op 64 No 2 and the duet one is just called Piano Battle Three. The very last one is called Secret (Time Travel Theme)

[hiitsoliver8D]

[haloxgeneration]

Thanks. =]

[xJAESARANGHAE]

absolutely sick.

you did an awesome job, especially under such restrictions with your camera, I wish I could play like that. Dx

[haloxgeneration]

Thanks. =] All it takes is practice
