at the start of the orchestra part, should be Cm (Eb bass), not Ab (Eb bass) I think.. and with plenty of dramatic attack! The verse is pretty accurate, but otherwise it's very difficult to transcribe/play what Wakeman is playing...
I don't normally bother to post a comment but this was worth the effort. An amazing skill you have there and it sounds great! Keep playing, you do it well, and sure you make a lot of people smile with your ability to play such classic music pieces :0)
i only noticed you were missing fingers reading a comment, i had no idea! and i was already in awe at how wonderfully you were playing! now im just blooowwn away haha
No words can describe how exceptional well played that actually was, 3 people that disliked this must be into rave or something with clearly no fucking respect whatsoever for talent
Hi, I was just thinking this is the best by far cover I have found on youtube, then I noticed you are missing some fingers on your left hand...how amazing that you can produce this, when I have all fully functioning digits and cant play nearly as beautifully as you do. Thanks for posting this xxx
Very nice! I've been looking for a cover like this for a while. Most covers play the vocal part transposed onto Piano, but this is just a cover of the Piano part, very nice playing!
Nice... the verse parts on F are pretty accurate... just work on those trills! I think the transition to the ascending chords (where the orchestra comes in) begins on a Cm (Eb bass), not an Ab (Eb bass), I've seen that in other transcriptions... but to properly transcribe/learn the rest of what Wakeman is doing is very difficult!
you're amazing! could you please give me the references of this partition? I'll be glad to buy it and present it at the end of one of my shows. :) thank you so much!
beautiful, specially the end with your left hand...i love that ending. Do you have the sheet? I would love to have it...I can give you the ones I got.
not bad, this helped me learn it. You have some smooth transitions but not a lot of feeling. sometimes sound like a machine just playing notes on a page
I think that this music sheet has little differences with the version that you are talking about. If we divide the song in two parts, the first part is very similar (without taking into account the adaptation at the end of this first part that here the piano is playing notes that in the other version the guitar plays). However the second part changes. In the music sheet that I used to play this song the two parts of "Life on Mars?" are the same:-)
Hi, I have a piano version of this music which is only using the melody and not the accompaniment which is on your piece. Please could you e mail me the publisher details so I can purchase a copy, as I am looking for as near to possible the original score and your version is brilliant, well played by the way. Hope you can help. please reply to j.crocker2@ntlworld.com.
wow, you sir, are a god! <3
