New York State of Mind (Billy Joel cover)

[geepeeone]

your finger moved butter smooth.

[orderandnumber]

@geepeeone I love that description! I've heard the phrase, "fat as butter" but never "butter smooth."

[mbukow01]

pretty close to the sheet music - nice job! I love playing this song - it never gets old!

[forkhead]

Really good job, I want to play this like you someday. A little messy but hey, who's perfect?

[xxzeroxx125]

wow!, just wow man. You are very good. I would sign you if my company would let me.

[THEPCPCLUB]

this kid at my school is amazing at this the most talented kid ive ver seen hes better then u i think hes in 5th grade

[Doomsday704]

i think the sustain pedal made the previous note drown out the rest of the notes....try to use less, also great improv!

[dhdaybyday]

amazing, tough song and you did great!

[craiger5]

BRAVO!!

[pianomanthesecond]

Some people have a habit of commenting things that are hidden ways of trying to make themselves feel superior to every1, even people who are clearly really talented. You know who you are! So seriously, you're brilliant, well done! Oh and I gave ya 5 stars of course, coz ya deserve it!

[jlaz89]

don't try to be too fancy on the piano, just play the chords if it's easier but good job

[jranner]

right on brother! muy bien.

[dirtbiker888]

Nice job! Pity you didn't show your pretty face on this one ;)

[alexpetrak]

nice job, very good! I like your voive. please listen to my version of this song which was live recorded in vienna. thnks ;)

[arawpao]

love it you did a good job....

[elderscroll4mii]

Very good. You seemed to speed up occasionally and made one or two errors, but it was a solid cover.

4/5

[AndrewTheTechie]

I've loved Billy Joel since forever and you did this song some serious justice. Your unique style showed through well.

[abonei]

i really like your vocals. for some reason you remind me of the guy from maroon 5. i just wish there was a little more rhythm in your solos. of course, this is just my preference.

[PingPong1608]

hahaha...i thought the exact same thing about him sounding like the guy from maroon 5 when i listened to another one of his covers today

[MuizeekPhanahtic]

You nailed it! The piano playing was SUPERB and the vocals was all your own, fresh/unique style that sounded AWESOME; you definitely did this song justice with surefire edge and heart, Classy!

[vballer600]

wow your really good I've been working on this song because I've been told I can sing it well and it matchs my voice talent and I've never really heard it befor! I'm working on this song so I can do it for my schools singing compition....just wanted to say your good

[ferris5150]

freakin awsome!

[adamk120]

awseome playing and encredible voice. Nice transcription of of some of his licks but easy on the sustain pedal,alot of the notes are to mooshy. overall great cover!!

[jimbohead]

agreed, well done, but perhaps a little too much on the sustain.

[milesandmiles1]

you should have a go at some ben folds five stuff. your piano technique is certainly good enough and i think your voice would really suit ben fold's stuff

:D

awesome job mate.

very inspiring!

[allantibbitt]

Please come check out my version of New York State Of Mind and tell me what you think. Thanks

[Xtcgaming1]

Wow, any chance of a tutorial for the intro or the chords or something?

[McGillicuddy17]

pleaseeeeeeeeeeee learn scenes from an italian restaurant and pianoman!!!!! you are stellar and you'd do those songs soooooooo much justice! pleaseee mann you gotta go it

[coldplayrockmyworld]

do you write ur own songs? cause if you did i reckon you could make more then a living out of ur talent. i want to be a piano entertainer when i get a little older, but i am too shy, how do you overcome being shy? cause like im pretty sure like 5000 peple watch urs.

[MX10505]

goog job man

[baserunner295]

WOW nice job

[johnnystir]

Nicely done...

[shotkong]

man how did you learn to improvise like that.. awesome, simply awsome. great voice too

[orderandnumber]

play and play and play and play. the key to improvisation isn't being perfect; it's just making all your mistakes in private, and then learning to make a mistake sound intentional by following it up with something good.

[markhg1]

I wish I had that kind of talent.

[sengle1013]

I do this one but in B. How you, or Billy, (who doesn't anymore) hit those high a's is beyond me. Great great work here.

[orderandnumber]

thanks =)

[baserunner295]

oooOoooO I DO!!!!!!! lol

[conpon]

wow, over complicated, nice solo though, did you read this? if so where from because i got the original transcript and it sounds nothing like that, you got a good voice, do you train it?

[orderandnumber]

The song is based on listening to it and embellishing a great deal (I never play it quite the same way from time to time). I *think* at one point in the past I may have consulted with the sheet music, but I've imbued it with my own style since then. I have never formally trained my voice, but I'm blessed with a naturally versatile set of cords and I have also been practicing recreationally (but prolifically) for many, many years.

[sholbt]

AWESOME!
