swipesy cakewalk - Scott Joplin

[Harmonyww]

Top notch playing. Nice to hear such a jolly version of a tune that most people play rather sedately.

[lilataubenei]

Wonderful! I am playing it too, but not like YOU!

[Schmiddy8888]

Hi. Your playing and the tune fits perfect to the sound of the Piano :o) Love the video. Thanks for sharing :o)

[samuso86]

[vladinho7]

[rotorcraft68]

Great playing! Thank you for sharing!!!

[fmz0507]

It's really good that you can remember all the notes!!! And the song is really living!!! Love the harmony,it even gave me a day full energy!!! Thanks,Sam! Keep working^^

[samuso86]

Thanks Jessica :-) wow it really gave you energy? I'm flattered! haha oh ragtime isn't too hard to remember once you've played a few of them. some of them are tricky but there's a lot of great pieces. all the best, Sam

[doooobies332]

amazing, change of speed and everything was just really good!! that improv at 2:12 was especially awesome.

[samuso86]

thank you, always appreciated :-)

[furisforlosers]

this is super!

[samuso86]

thank you! I also intend this to the previous comment, thanks for watching

[AnackhsunamUn]

wow. Great playing!

[ExCuPeEn]

left hand slows down around 0:49 but overall very nicely done! Played this peace two years ago. I'm a big Joplin fan.

[Huddiethegreat]

yeah that left hand is unacceptable

[zacstac]

Um im sort of jelous cuz u rok!!!!!!!!

That wuz amazing! I have that peice in my ragtime book but i just cant play it like you!

Im trying to learn it but i mean cheese! Im only 10. But i am about half way through the song. so yeah. bye

[samuso86]

hey thanks for your comment! I guess it's really a case of getting the notes under your fingers first so you can play it fluently because it should never sound unconvincing, but when you can play the notes you need to let go of the score and then have fun :-) good luck with it, if you are only 10 then you have loads of time don't worry :-)

[zacstac]

thx! actually today i learned to play it. butnot thatv fast clearly. Oh yeah: when i said im learning it i meant im not perfect but i can play it. I played it fir a recitle yesterday. Everyone loved it! anyway, ur great! Bye

[dafebeme2]

The... (lets call it "second movement") where you have to play 7 notes with octaves with the left hand is hard as hell. You didnt played it good hehe, but i cant neither.

You have to improve the ending of the "3rd movement". And the final arpegio of the theme is not uniform. Anyway, you have a good sound ;)

[raphaelaaron]

dang i love this song! is it hard to play?

great job too. this is classic.

[samuso86]

Thank you very much!it's certainly one of Joplin's easiest rags you'll be glad to know :-) if you've learnt any ragtime pieces before you shouldn't have a problem, good luck with it and enjoy!

[IoanRelevations]

I love it!Hope you get more views(you deserve it)

[samuso86]

thankyou for your support! :-) I will inform you of later videos! cheers

[tweevr]

I know how hard this kind of music is to play on piano, How long does it take you to perfect a song like this? Wow!

[samuso86]

The first I found difficult when I started out was getting use to the syncopations but once you get the feel of it, it becomes much easier :-) If you're having problems I'd suggest learning the right hand part first and when your ready try introducing the left but playing very slowly, also I might add they're are many simplified versions for beginners where the left hand is far less complex so you could always try that :-) let me know how you get on! cheers

[tweevr]

Yeah, I know But I like learning the original piece cause like you said when you get the hang of it, it don't get so bad, I am learning the sound SOOOO slowly though XD It took me about a weak just to get through one measure 0.0 only because I practice like 15 minutes a day though... but I might learn the whole song by the end of winter lolol, I should post a video of me playing some songs I already know.. well c ya

[samuso86]

ye I really don't have much idea of what level you're at so it would be good to hear you and I'll see if I can help :-) look forward to hearing you and good luck!

[tweevr]

Ok..I will see if I can spare a time for a video soon then. It's not gonna be this song though!! Maybe next year or somewhee around there.

[samuso86]

cool, ye it doesn't have to be this piece cos I can see why people would find it tricky haha, but whatever your favourite piece to play is or anything really, thanks! good luck with your playing! :-)

[samuso86]

cheers! only 4 stars?! lol thanks for your comment :-)

[mjuniorsc]

I liked the speed, is very fine
