Finally....someone who actually knows how to play! Lovely...not some endless set of jazz BS in the treble clef...some nice classical flare! Beautiful....and, there IS a bass line :) Cheers!
This is fabulous playing! Why do they call it piano bar music? It's GOOD music...and I LOVE that you've added some classics. I'll be looking at your other videos. Thanks so much for sharing.
Lovely! I could listen to you all night. How old were you when you began to learn piano? How long did it take you before you were competent to play piano bars?
I've been playing piano for thirteen years (since I was three, I've fifteen now), and when I think back to only within the last year at how much I've improved, I feel inspired. And seeing this guy makes me know that I will in time be this good :) I wonder how good I will be at 20 and then at 30....
@joshbell95 few years ago, i thought that kind of life will be very lonely and tough, but now i think that the life of being a bar pianist is so real and wonderful.
wow, amazing. with that kind of playing , everybody wins, the player likes what he/she is doing and the audience also and last but not the least, i think player like You can make some living with skills ?
Go to a music store and look at the "FAKE BOOKS" these are collections of hundreds of songs.. shows, jazz, pop.. That way you can always be learning something new, and best of all, when you get a request, you can look it up.. and voila! maybe a tip will come your way!
yeah that is true. i started off playing at hotels and lounges around town when i was 13. all i can say is that since then, i've played by ear and by heart. i improvise almost all my songs unless i get a request which doesn't happen often.
Elton would be very happy to hear your version :-) just like your other video, there is a lot of love in your playing which is just fantastic .. please we want to see more .. keep on playing .. thanks for sharing ..
Originally, it was an Elton John song; 'Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word', he recorded it several times, a few years ago with some boys named 'Blue'.
What a wonderful playing and I am sure you are too good to be a background musician.I will be listenning to your playing than having a conversation...where are you based?
WOW amazing, your very talented person and you show it in your music, loved every bit, you should post more videos, love to hear some songs from you :) keep the good work up.
I started to learn piano at 3 years old, graduate at 14 and I started jazz music
at 20 so I can read the music and improvise as well , I don't need any musical stuff to play Lounge Bar Cocktail Music; I know, it's a peace of change ......
