Dave Thomas - Comptine d'un autre été: L'après midi (Yann Tiersen cover)

[55rcw]

god damn.... I learned this song from someone who learned it from sheet music and he literally plays it as if he learned it from sheet music.... freakin amazing....

[luyzzangell]

how the fuvk you "learn" all that songs by ear??

[pechzijmetu]

@luyzzangell Thats called Absolute pitch ;) > When you hear a note you can instantly hear which note it is very few ppl have this ability ( i do not know if Dave Thomas has got this) but it could be an explanation 

[JayTie1]

@luyzzangell idk how you call it in english, should be something like the "absolute hearing". my mother has it, it is something you need to be born with.If you have that, you can play everything from ear

[Peppinafragolina]

you re amazing

[HorizonMelt]

Finally- someone who does it right!! :) I can't stand it when people rush the heck out of it. They kill it.

[Mzourix3]

That was perfect !

[4DHDFilms]

nice dude!

[yoonatansc97]

great!



[uiuko]

i'm lovin it

[shenanyginz]

amazing. you nailed it.

[lys013]

magnifique



[coolbluemidnite]

Learned by ear? holy cheese i mean i'm ok at learning songs by ear but this is amazing o_o

[MissHomesy1]

Beautiful ;)

[Jonisrock00]

apisteutos! :')

[Masterzachs]

you know this is old... he uses myspace!?!?!?!

[heartsong8]

@Masterzachs Do i have to open a myspace account in order to see his videos there?

[Masterzachs]

@heartsong8 nop you dont

[4DHDFilms]

@Masterzachs hahahaha i was just looking at that! :)

[Paris7699]

Wow beautiful

[girschwin]

yep saw a couple video's your awsome

[Mumixam]

the perfect speed for this song. no rythm fault. GG

[BjornHegstad]

Your posture is very bad. If you keep playing like that, you'll cause harm to your neck and back.

Your interpretation of this piece, however, is very decent, and one of the better home-made covers I've seen, regardless of genre.

[Syniqal]

@BjornHegstad That'll be the desk chair, I'd say. Nothing a piano stool wouldn't fix. :)

[museaholicc]

Im in love. I do play that song. But it just sound differently-amazing on your fingers.

[balckdwarf2]

i love this song

[RecklezOMG]

Lol? all those words and sentences ( BREATHTAKING! OUTSTANDING OMFGROFLCOPTOR!)

il just say.

Epicz.

[DeathToTheseWalls]

Absolutely perfect. And then we see that you learnt it by ear. Astounding. I almost want to be angry just to release this wave of awe and wonder built up in my system.

[TheAvalava]

Amazing. Outstanding. Breath taking. Thank you so much.

[sleepisg00d]

:)

[bjorkman88]

Best version i've seen.

Your talent for music is truly amazing.

Good luck in your future!

[casscasss]

im am in love with you. marry me?

[XxMaplerzxX]

as close to perfection as you can get

[95stan]

beautiful peice mate, however i dont beleive you learnt this by ear , every note is perfect

[Jehnnycash]

@95stan this one ain't that hard to learn by ear. in the beginning you can clearly hear the left hand and that one stays the same during the song. Rest op the songs practically exists of three parts which can be heard pretty clear. I'm a guitarist, but wanted to play this one so bad, so I decided to learn it by ear and I managed it.

[BikerRussell]

This is a great piece. It isnt that hard to learn either.

[aftermath5981]

how the hell do you learn it by ear?! that's amazing.

[sabinesios]

definitivamente se por que amo a los músicos, gracias por recordarmelo caballero...

y su talento en los instrumentos es bueno... aprovechate de esa maravillosa magia que otorgas al mundo cada vez que tocas algún instrumento

[Barbagelbites]

This is so peaceful.

[BournemouthVEVO]

If you were a death metal fan and learnt all of slipknot's songs or something like that, I'd comment and say I feel sorry for the neighbours. But I have to say, the guy who lives next door to you is a very lucky man.

[MrJuirIII]

@BournemouthVEVO Slipknot isn't death metal, but yes. I'd love to be his neighbour.

[rjpit]

You know what, if you know how to spell learnt and know its a real conjugated word, you really have learnt this by ear! Well done SIR! The timing is just right!

[MagicWorld7]

I seriously have a major crush on this guy... sigh... <3

[johannalouiise]

I just have 1 word to you. Wonderful..

[maxbauer21081997]

Can you Give Me the notes please !!!!!!! I have Facebook

[JrMadness]

Dave Thomas's Digital piano is a KAWAI ES-5. Sadly they are no longer for sale at the moment.

[KARAB1NAS]

whats the name of ur piano? nice sound and nice play ofcourse

[Andieile]

Wonderful!!! The notes you play with your left Hand are used by an German Band called "Unheilig", the song is "Geboren um zu Leben",

Greatings from northern Germany

[MultiVladimir12]

you haven't learn it at earn you had notes it Cant..

[Redemine]

My God.. This is so Beautifull 

[AlwaysEmmaForever]

Great! What grade music would this be? If anyone could answer that would be great :)

[godommot]

@AlwaysEmmaForever

not that difficult, dont know the grade but i've been playing piano for about 2 years self-taught and can plau this song.

[liquidSUGAAAR]

[ThinkingChristian29]

view my rendition of the piece by searching "Austin Pruitt comptine". Click on first video

[Pur3Madnes5]

i can play this but not as good as you AND you learnt it by ear. TRUE TALENT :)

[Balbycute]

no flesh of my flesh,

no bones of my bones,

you're not born in my body

you're born in my hearth

( my mother used to say this to me, whenever i felt sad, THANX MOM :) )

[dehsretaw]

No words to describe this amazing cover

[Chrisi1231000]

Very very Good!!

[mgzagza91]

Charming

[bibbisbibbis]

wow, I've heard SO many covers of this song and this is easily my absolute favorite :')

I love how this song is the perfect example of how something so relatively simple can be so wonderful.

[x90opcode]

@bibbisbibbis search for "Iammikelew comptine" it's really amazing too

[bibbisbibbis]

@x90opcode I did and it is!

You guys are amazing :)

[GKrock2007]

[PurpleCuckoo]

[musicislifex96]

How the hell can people dislike this. Jealousy must be the answer. (:

absolutely beautiful.

[SpheredInternet]

[sarralatutu]

@SpheredInternet hahahahaha you just killed me xDDDDD

[fabulesefantastic]

[UncleJimz]

Awesome job man. Very fluid...

[mwaetje]

Flawless...



[chillikid1]

very smoothe!

[agilityvalerie]

Awesome. No other word for that! <3

[glenivice]

It's true that this is not really diffcult, but he has taken it up to a whole new level, just like he usally does to other songs.

[spiritfan101]

I know how to play it a little but it doesn't sound much like the real one. It sounds to simple and im having a little trouble to add the chords when i play with my right hand :/

[djMZFB]

hey you are amazing!!!!

why don't you try to play some italian composer....like Ludovico Einaudi or Roberto Cacciapaglia! they are the best!

the songs I prefer are oltremare,divenire and meraviglia! .....listen it!

However good job man!

[fxdesca]

btw yann tiersen covered you pretty well

[fxdesca]

Very very nice !  Whatsyour insrument ref ?

[Ivdusanna95]

Amazing! Like original... wow...

[Black95Crow]

You control the ryhthm well XD

[SweetKooshy]

what an inspiration..damn..i'm 18 and started playin a year ago. I always had it in my head that I wont get anywhere playing and it's not worth trying to continue..but piano and music in general is just..amazing.

[Numardy]

Dude! Don't let it get to your head, but you are awsome!

[fab31158]

Vraiment PARFAIT, peut-être mieux que l'original ! Vraiment bravo, et merci !!!

[ganjaboiiHazE]

[padwanplayer]

Maestro.

[censurabass]

[AprilCooper4]

Awesome.. I can play it too, but not as good as this.

A question: Why do you have so many keyboards?

[julie8216]

@AprilCooper4 the real question is: why dosent he have so many key board?(:

[tiananmensquare]

@julie8216

yeah I've definately seen more :) not to deride his collection

[Coxy13131]

@AprilCooper4 digital piano, a midi controller, and a synthesizer in the back

[iluna24]

[smallsushicat]

[regixx2]

Bravo!

[DasQuizzle]

its amazing ... how can a human like me play  a melody so awesome?

[P90XDoubles]

@DasQuizzle

It's actually not that far out of reach... if you start playing piano and really enjoy it. I had this song down during my first month of playing and this guy is waaaaaaayyy better than me. This is childs play for him I'm sure. Just try it out and dont be intimidated! =D

[prsi83]

@DasQuizzle ich weiß, was du meinst! Querdenker regieren später unsere Welt! ;-)

[bebychan]

[Chibadwaow]

très très bonne performance! Bravo, bonne continuation ! :)

[purpleniar]

those who said that yann tiersen's comptine d'un anutre ete sounds like clair de lune should get their ears checked.

either that or they know nuts about music.

[MrChrisLuong]

wow thats pretty amazing!

[jolezbrouf]

wow!!! ;-)

[crazyyurek]

34 justin biber fans

[FreiburgerSc]

Wow, it's perfect !

[FreiburgerSc]

Wow. It's perfect !

[willdill]

people who think this is from the twilight movie are mistake with Claude debussy- clair de lune

[baishihua]

Very good! I have tried to find how other people play this song and this so far feels most similar to the original

[heartsong8]

So impressive and amazing that you learned this by ear, Dave. I am such an admirer of your work. It deeply moves me to watch you play. Never stop!!!

[laura5787]

@heartsong8 Not so impressive, it's actually very easy, it goes always the same. But he's still great, and this one is really well played.

[Eact84]

@heartsong8 unfortunately he already stopped  :(

[heartsong8]

@Eact84 Why did he stop?

[Eact84]

@heartsong8 i wish i knew... i miss him being active on you tube.

[ruiolas]

I'm stuck at 0:53, I cant sync the hands.

[Geordi87]

@ruiolas

takes a while to learn the 4 and 6, practice the beginning of rue des cascades and when u come back to this u'll have it for sure

[ruiolas]

@Geordi87 rue des cascades is too hard for me. I play mostly the guitar, not the piano. I really can't sync two time signatures at the same time xD

[Muramatsu988]

@ruiolas practice it at a slower tempo

and when i say slower, i mean really, really slower :p

[wamadeus]

thums down if you are sick of seeing "The Next Mozart? 6-Year Old Piano Prodigy Wows All" video every time you click a video related to piano.

[AnaMartaKoln]

amazing...as u should already know :p

I just hope I'll achieve ur level...one day :D

[AnimeOrigami]

Your's is the best out of all the people I've watched so far. The others are just going way too fast or slow... And I've watched about 10 already xD

[osgrj2]

I cant see the difference between you and yann tiersen...its like, if someone who doesnt know who is yann or you and listen your cover or his songs, he couldnt tell the difference.

[tqiblawi]

nice work! I can't figure out how to do the transition between the bars in the third part for the life of me..

[PkStrPk99]

I Like this song so much

[BukkazoR]

FANTASTIC !! una delle cover + belle ke ho sentito di questa canzone!

[Cl0o0oe]

[Speedx0]

[JadeeeH93]

i adore this song.

i choreographed a dance to this one for an exam.

[museismymusealways]

[EdmondDantesLeComte]

[nickdm14]

Great song, shame your not playing it!

[EdmondDantesLeComte]

@nickdm14

What do you mean he's not playing it? Everything he did synced up perfectly with the song. Besides, this song isn't that difficult. ESPECIALLY compared to the other stuff the guy plays. :-/

[nickdm14]

@EdmondDantesLeComte really sorry, its just so good! I didn't know he had synced it up.

[brujadepeloamarillo]
