[pellezorz]

it would be awesome if someone would transcribe this. Anyone?



[fierypiano]

@pellezorz It is already being transcribed by Drod, just like any other album pieces.

[pellezorz]

it would be awesome if someone would transcribe this. Anyone?

[charliebucket46]

kyle i wanna put penis inside.

[alfreddarkwarrior]

favorite of all time nwn

[fierypiano]

I can't wait to purchase this sheet.

[hotmail1929]

very nice performance, i wish i could play the puano that way, congrats,,,

[hansbricks101]

I have been playing this over and over for the last 3 hours, too good.

[xylojet]

you are definetely in your element

[JaflooganVonStroodle]

"improviation" just noting that.

This is probably my favorite piano piece, ever, though :D

[SuperStacker360]

That "pirates" part was the definition of an eargasm... It's moments like that that make you want to play music every second of every day, and who better to play it than Kyle???

[SuperStacker360]

8:16 OMG that is the best sounding climax I've heard in my life! Mozart would be proud xD (and jealous)

[Azzrad]

They should put this in kingdom hearts!

Do you even practice before you take this video??

[mmorales881]

BEST IMPROVISATION. I HAVE LEARNED A LOT WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. THANKS FOR POSTING THEM.

[natcat12345]

Dear Kyle

First off, you are absolutely fantastic. It truly is amazing what you can do with a piano! I mean, wow. That's all there is to say. Seriously, I would marry you (I'm sure you get that a lot so I figure it's not that weird to say, right?) Are you interested in musical education? If you are looking to take on students, LET ME KNOW PLEASE!!! My friend and I could use some help.

Much thanks!

Natalie and Jenny

[MedievalEscaper]

This reminds me so much of Kingdom Hearts!

[gankness]

This one is a piece of art.... truely.... I was mesmerized !

[ItzzEeJay]

1:31 - 2:10 felt so Dearly Beloved-like. I don't know why, but I felt it. More specifically, the improv you did with Matt.

[HNXakido]

Improviation?

s missing =)

[kotomix4]

@HNXakido he was improving

[HNXakido]

@kotomix4 you mean improving or improvising?^^

[DustinNesom]

what was your favorite "chord" you used lol

[kylelandry]

@DustinNesom It was E in the bass, and a rolled chord in the right with the following notes: C#, D, F#,C#... It seems like a major D7 chord held over as a suspension on the E natural bass.

[DustinNesom]

@kylelandry Haha my hands aren't long enough to reach that chord haha and it sorta looks like the chord is E on the bass C#, D, G, not F# and C#... I could be mistaken though haha... I still can't reach either chord xD

[SuperStacker360]

8:20 is an orgasm for the ears

[MissKayrocka]

your girlfriend must seriously be in love with you piano skills. LUCKY.

[SuperStacker360]

This HAS GOT to be transcribed, and what a perfect name, Kyle! I love it!

[SuperStacker360]

5:00-5:50 0_o

[CeltiC15]

unreal

[alfreddarkwarrior]

I've seen this improv hundreds of times and every time i like it even more.

amazing as always, kyle

[angelawyz99]

Well, I was just about to go to bed. but now I really want to go work on piece interpretation.

This is amazing work.

[abgangswarte]

also ich lass mir bei der nächsten transfusion asiatisches blut einpflanzen xDDDD

lg aus germany

[TheDarkMaster91]

From 5:52 to 6:04 it reminds me of Liszt, and just after that Pokemon hahaha

[LocktLonehart]

Dude this reminds me of being a kid and playing one of those video games that leaves it's mark on you forever. Thanks for the tears Kyle.

[rachelistheowniest]

@LocktLonehart i thought i was the only one who felt that way about video games! haha

[KazeYuki126]

Sorry for this but

That was orgasmic playing

xD

[DeanoPiano]

Astonishing although I love your use of dynamics the most and your feel and approach to the piano, I always love checkin out your channel XD

[Canonindxxx]

very beginning kinda reminded me of Hungarian rhapsody and various other parts reminded me of various other pieces.....which is natural.

-one's influences or inspirations are bound to show in what they produce

anwyays, this was beautiful , i can't believe i didn't see it sooner

[MangoPuff]

God, you are so unbelievably talented.

[Wandered1441]

I have a feeling this guy is going to have a lot of soundtracks to his name in the not too distant future.

[singingmudskipper]

hey man. i play drums, guitars, and some piano, and it takes a lot to really get me really interested in an instrument. and i'd say, ur improvisation no47 really put a flame in me to really wanna play like that too. there are many good players out there, you're not one of them. u're Great. thank you. =)

[denzelv1]

does learning allot of different songs helop with improving?

BTW u should try improv on Secret-by jay :D i really wonder how that would come out

[pinoysamurice]

im sorry i accidently flagged this wen i meant to click like how do i undo?

[daliaaa]

... 1:30... i REALLY wana kno what that part is. AMAZING kyle

[bestpi]

Loved it. awesome. I envy people who have their heads wired this way. Fantastic.

[GmasterRED]

0:56 -Zelda

2:41 -sounds really familiar.

6:04 -pokemon

7:17 -really familar

0:23 -pirates

[GmasterRED]

I hear some pirates of the caribean in there, some Zelda and some pokemon as well.

[Marc12313]

I love the aggressive ending part ^^.

[markteetsjr06]

its amazing how you can play for ten straight minutes without any errors at all. that in itself is a great feat.

[MaXxChiX]

Probably my favorite out of all the improvisation you did. Kudos!

[jc91596]

so you wrote this! nice man you do have a talent for this i myself am getting interested in writing music for violin and piano.

[beagle4864]

Do you make this all up on the spot or do you try something similar before?

How do you do it?

Do you start with a tune and key and go from there?

I want to try improv and stuff, but how do you start?

[sebi2205]

Hey Kyle. Great One!

If you find the time, why not check out the song "mei ga inai" from the totoro soundtrack (joe hisaishi) ? I guess you could really make something out of that one!

[MiniVoeter]

6:04 sounds like sometihing the band Dream theater played. I realy want sheet music or a midi file of this.

[TheRobbbob]

amazing

[Flurbx]

I can tell there is a mix of various musical influences here.

1:30 - 2:10 reminds me a little of kingdom hearts and 6:04 - 6:20 sounds just like the Pokémon elite four theme.

[KevinM2k9]

@Flurbx I thought the same about the kingdom hearts as soon as I heard it

[olheiser01]

@Flurbx haha i thought the same thing about the pokemon part. nice!

[briman20]

5:30

Damn.

[Dibeaulieu]

i like the mix of the various musical influences in your improv

[EtherealBurst]

Wow so amazing like always ^^!

i would like to know what are all the songs lol!

[musikLmind]

ur great...im sure ya know that already...but UR GREAT!

=)

[Slyyther]

JESUS FUCKKKK

8:00+ sounds like something that should be ORCHESTRATED...so many voices @_@

<3 you long time.

[redcloud02]

Absolutely great!

[fregamina]

certeinly....u r not from that plannet a geft like that is a ufo geft

[mailclue]

I still absolutely love #25 and #26, but this is certainly among my favorites. I've been pleased to see a new wave of original Kyle Landry improvs lately :D

Fantastic as always. Keep up the good work, man.

[OHJEEZx]

RIDICULOUS.

[jaysonson67]

an amazingly beautiful display of talent as usual keep em comin bro!

and i love the transitions!

[ChristianPian1st]

Absolutely amazing. I can imagine someone play this at some grand hall or something. 5,000,000,000,000,000/5

[nFinityMatrix]

I wish he would start sharing some of his inspirations behind the improv, because this was just amazing. Very dynamic.

Also lol @ 6:00 I swear that's the elite four theme from Pokemon R/B.

[mailclue]

@nFinityMatrix Funny enough, that's exactly what I was thinking of at 6:00. I mean, of course it's not exactly the same, but the only reason I looked at the comments was to see if someone else had already mentioned that. I hear those all the time, but that one was closer than usual... not that it takes away from the improv at all. It's still original and well done.

[kevankoya]

Hi Kyle your brilliant beautifully played. 5***** :)

[Kaggypants]

Listening to this a few times today, I recognized a few bits that might (or might not have) inspired some of this:

-A few nocturnes from Chopin

-Big O

-Dearly Beloved

-Tetris remix

-Polka

-Various fanfares

8:00+ is wonderful.

[Zargator08]

genious like always. The best in youtube :P

[fullhouse916]

hey kyle i think u r amazing man.. jw if u would play the song ''Why" from the FF7 Crisis Core? that song sounds soo good and would be cool to hear if from your skills

[MrMcMufffinMan]

omg you are crazy!!! keep gooing :P this was a masterpiece x)

[FeelsDeep]

THis is my absolutly favorite improvisation together with "a blast to reality" improv.

ver much new ideas, very lively, really enjoyable.

thanks for uploading this :))

[TehOnlyAlien]

@FeelsDeep Totally agree. =)

[Kaggypants]

Wow Kyle you've come a long way. This is extremely impressive. You express quite a wide array of emotions in this piece.

Superb!

[xXVanquishedSoULXx]

Kyle your like tthe modern day combination of Chopin and Beethoven. This is my favorite of improvisation by you.its way to epic. amazing job this was so god like!

[AtlanticFlyer]

The piece you start playing at 1:29 has to be my absolute favorite part. I'd love to learn that part on my own.

[noobone7]

cant wait :) ill buy it\

[krycek1717]

Rubato: slight speeding up or slowing down of the tempo @ la Chopin.

"Rubato must emerge spontaneously, it must be totally free, the performer must feelit on the basis of his/her own sensitivity. There is no magic formula..."

Interesting.

[krycek1717]

Now I have to look up the word rubato.

[3ternalBeauty]

starting at 8:00 I KEEP REPLAYING IT'S SOOOO AMAZING!!!

[krycek1717]

Cool. You named it.

[jbjcjb]

Request please The entertainer Scott Joplin Thankyou Kyle XX

[jorovcho]

0:56 - 2:11

I'm sure that came directly from GOD !!!

[StasisCube]

Why- these sound just like my improvs... but to like the 5th or 6th power :D

Nice improv man! keep it up!

[thaki265]

Ahh, amazing!!!! <3

why dun you try and play the themesong of braveheart? or song from a secret garden by the secret garden?

I bet you'll get a bunch of admires then :D:D

[thisisourtragedy]

This is gorgeous.

[happpyBanana]

dude you're the best!

[damcamsmith]

Brilliant. That has feeling!

[AtlanticFlyer]

Absolutely fantastic work, can't stop listening to this particular improv!

[lowpro88]

I feel you

[BryanFraisse]

you are simply amazing.

[Pianist203]

Great improvisation!!! ;)

Could you say some good chord progressions? I would be thankful.

[Grayfog]

I like how some parts have kind of a baroque feel; there's great technical performance as well as a bit of feeling in this improvisation.

[nat13tan]

O.o *gapes at amazing awesumness*

[wXingVinny]

also from 6:04 to 6:18 its souds alot like some pokemon music

[808sniperpizza]

I'm glad I was not the only one to notice.

[InfinityIsDeath]

sounds like final boss music from some kind of mario game

[tomaz150]

awesome, like always...

[StasisCube]

This is my new favorite improv of yours :D it used to be blast to reality. Find more inspiration so you can keep pumping out this awesome stuff!

[wXingVinny]

this is your best improv ever .

[Cloudsiv]

@wXingVinny i can't agree more :]

[jackwhitefanatic]

[laxsyr]

[Superman1753]

Man you are gifted. You inspire me so much you have no idea!

You seriously NEED to get discovered. This talent must be seen and heard around the world.

[mooviies]

2:57 to 3:42 is my favorite part! :D

[kusabana4]

it's beautiful! I can't believe this is what comes out of your fingertips when you randomly sit down in front of a piano. When I sit down in front of a piano...well...nothing as magical as this happens, let's just say that. God has given you a great gift :)

[theKevinLemon]

Yes, i think i will go enjoy some kyle. =D

[YouVRay]

allow me to curse

FCUK FCUK FCUK WHY THE FCUK ARE YOU SO GOOD T_T LOl I LOVE KYLE NO HOMO

[KitKatPack28]

this is absolutely amazing <3 You are wonderfully talented, and i am so glad I stumbled across this video. <3 fantastic! u gave me goosebumps :)

[Slaythz]

This improv is one of my favorite of all your improvs.. 5/5

[808sniperpizza]

Like i have commented on your other videos, you are an amazing pianoist.

[Brindles09]

Pianist*

[SplitPZ]

I love the emotion from which you play. Every time I listen to your videos, I turn up the volume and just close my eyes and take it all in. Your music creates a story in my imagination. The music resonates within....magical. I love it! Keep 'em coming.

[EthanMasse]

i hope i can play like you someday

[EthanMasse]

my god...

[TzManiac01]

love it at 7:30 and on beautifull

[musicnate28109]

dude you are seriously the best person ive ever seen play the piano by far you are my idol

[hatedrivesus]

i feel at 530 the song is at is climax

but it feels like the timing is off for the part

idk if that was the feel you aimed for but i noticed it in the mario video too

it seems if that part had more consistant time like the rest of the comp it would be alot better. still the ideas are solid

i just wanna know if you agree or think im wrong

[kylelandry]

This is the sort of rubato timing I like to play most of the time, so I can't agree sorry.

[hatedrivesus]

alright man

great stuff reguardless

[eXyrionQQ]

Hey. Can you can tell me how you get the song from your keyboard to the computer. Do you use a USB flash drive or a MIDI to USB cable. And also what are all the softwares you use to convert the MIDI files. I have a digital keyboard similar to yours and the quality of the songs on my computer when I transfer from the piano is really bad compared to yours and I was wondering if you can help me out. Thanks!

Btw, you are fucking amazing at the piano! Your improvs really amaze me.

[yusukeichimura]

I loved the part till 2 something minutes...really moving....5/5

[Zimph01]

wish i wasn't lazy and tried to play piano, i;ve had my keyboard for years but never did i decide ei should buy new batteries or that i should buy something like an adapter

now its jsut the though... "Oh man i need to learn something new again im gunna tottaly blow at this"

[PkDTakeo]

Woooo \õ/

another great work of his

you inspire me *-*

[woofydog4000]

suuuper unreal

[newton896]

5:55 through 6:15 reminds me of a pokemon gym battle haha

[StephensracerS]

You are just picking up melodies and patterns From Every Corner, huh. I think i noticed 4-6 right off the bat. Awesome work as ever man!

[Royst0]

You sir, are a genious!

[thiskid089]

you know whats sad? proffesional guitarists get paid millions and you are SO much more skilled than any of them ,and get paid nothing

[kylelandry]

Are you sure about that? millions? hahahaha

[MaJJ007]

Even if it wasn't millions, you should get paid SOMETHING ;)

[Lizuro]

ide pay millions for this music its definelty worth it

[ChiefinCheba]

maybe a pop band/star guitarists if thats what you mean by profesional

[StasisCube]

"Enjoy"

lol. I did. Enjoy is a bit of an understatement. Nice job once again! :D

[AvidHobbyist]

How do you improvise accompaniment like that??? i'd be really pleased if you gave me a tip or two! your music is ammazing - that's an great understatemnt reminds me of a modern Liszt rhapsody

[mudphud8]

I am so deeply honored to have listened to such beautiful music man...I was feeling down and this picked me right up. It showed me that with hard work you can do anything and inspired me to work my ass off.

[newton896]

i honestly have no idea how you do this it blows my mind how musically talented you are, do you think you could put this down onto paper or was it just all in your head

[kylelandry]

I do not have enough time to properly transcribe any of my videos =(

[GJ95]

Connect your midi port when you play, Finale lauched, and voilà :-D

[TzManiac01]

nice beautiful so when are you going to post more videos

[aldren790]

eres un acha tio

[chillydog357]

this song experiences so many changes in emotion, swear i fall in love with each one of your improvs

[tt78480]

Very good ! I think you can win a few money with all your improvisation, so i hope, a day you win money with your music ...

[KadiCompany]

It's absolutely incredible! This improv has unusual, magic ambiance, it's full of emotions, very different than other piano melodies, I've ever heard. Congratulations!

[renlikepiano]

can you give me some improvising tips

[MiaSlone]

So nice ! I love it !

[Smarty4789]

genius

[sif902]

Maybe the best impro you got! :D

[ezbaiviolin]

esto es exelente y exquisito para mis oidos!

congratulations!!

fantastic melody!!

is sweet!!

and cool jejej

saludos desde Mexico!!

[fire11ball]

wow. you are extremely talented

[ziikaman123]

i luv this so much... nice work! i can only play pirates of the caribbean he's a pirate =)

[vashdastampedeo]

Nice dude, been watching you for at least a year or two. Great stuff.

You got me into practicing again, strange really. Your melody's are usually very strong and you can keep them full of life too. I still don't know how to get my left hand near as strong as you can, I guess with practice.. Good job though dude!!

[phantomsyren]

What inspires you to do these improvisations?

And I must agree with a few people here, I am going to start to listen to this when I have to write stories and such regarding school or when I need something to listen to, to inspire me to write my own piano tunes as well as songs. I'm not nearly as good as you, but that is a good thing because then I can enjoy your music.

[ZerkMode]

6:05 is pokemon!

[Nylelt]

i thought the same thing lol
