Samskeyti - Sigur Ros (piano)

[Earthbreather002]

Ace job, friend! I'm a guitar player by trade but dabble in other instruments. just been trying to learn this one the piano...love the song.

[ArielMcMc]

is it hard playing this song?? this is one of my favorite songs and the piano is such a beautiful instrument i really want to play it. i know how to play i would just like to know if its really difficult......

[olvew]

Since the recording actually consists of more than piano, I wonder if more complex bass chords could improve the song.

[BitterBosh]

Great, haunting melody. Well played.

[zeze40video]

Yeah! Wonderful!

[bonnuz80]

Great playing for a great song!!!

Bravissimo!!

Cheers from Italy!! ^_^

[Plec07]

Great cover, might be there best song. Might be.

[Souchiro09]

Great playing! About to learn this myself :) Btw, you should tag it with "Untitled 3" as well as "Sigur Rós", took me some related-video browsing before I got this one !

[sethloganmusic]

[dbsk06]

[sethloganmusic]

Hey thanks. Unfortunately I learned this by ear though so I don't have music. I put up a tutorial though so try checking that out! Hope it helps!

Performing this song for my schools Gala, cannot wait!

Extremely amazing.

Fantastic job.

Never heard of Sigur Ros until they were used in a British TV show called Skins and i fell in love with the track and also the band.

Great cover!

This is SO good, you did an amazing job. This is my favorite song by Sigur Ros, and you did a wonderful job, songs just like the original.

I hope someday I'll be able to play it this well

[badlilmonkeh]

bravo, just like the original, although the sound of your notes are more edgier

[filuzz]

Perfect! Good timing.... constant 3/4 with the right hand, constant 4/4 with the left one.... on the 5 bars structure of the whole song! Kjarri is a genius... this song is really more difficult than it could seems after a first listening!

[Damohpb]

I'm pretty sure Orri is on the piano for this one.

[nv821]

Kjartan is playing the Piano, Orri is playing the organ.

[efusiongaming]

The most amazing Samskeyti cover I've ever heard. And your piano is the best I've seen... Truly wonderful...

[tekinthepiss]

this tune is cool wen i heard it on skins it was gr8 and on a film called mysterious skin

[Zeppelin1618]

Yeah jokerkiwi, I noticed this when I first heard the song. I originally thought the whole song was in 5/4, but again the left hand bass chords are played in 4/4

[kechen]

i would learn to play the piano just to play that song. beautiful.

[tessiebearkid]

wonderful :)

[jokerkiwi]

Something I've noticed about this beautiful Sigur Ros song:

The left hand plays on 4/4, but the phrase length is 5 bars (rather than the typical 4 or 8). The right hand looping melody, based on the way it is phrased, is essentially a hemiola, a 3/4 rhythm, crossing over the barlines of the left hand-- this is a six bar phrase in 3/4 with final one final bar of 2/4 to sort of recalibrate everything for the next repeat of the 5 bar pattern in the left hand.

Anyone else notice this?

[Orthored]

@jokerkiwi Yes, I have and that's the reason so many people play it wrong. Also, that's why the song is so hypnotizing.

Great version, I love it, Ceth ;]

[Overproted]

@jokerkiwi

that leads us to...

[acer2591]

dude this is sickk. do you think you can hook me up with the sheet music?

[chemicaldrummer]

Aww! How pretty!!!!

[ahgzz]

Nice:D

[wholtone]

Very nicely done. Your version has a sort of flowing quality that shows you're very comfortable with the song. Good job.

[PlinkBlack]

Seth, please make a tutorial . (:

[sethloganmusic]

Hey! I recently posted a quick tutorial for Samskeyti if you would like to check it it out.

Cheers
