Yeah, I make music and stuff.

F.A.Q
(Yes, these are FREQUENTLY asked questions)


1.) When are you going to upload more videos?

As soon as I can find the time.


2.) What kind of keyboard do you use?

I used a Yamaha PSR-280 in my older videos, but I have recently upgraded to a Yamaha YPG-535... Much, MUCH better than my last keyboard!


3.) How'd you learn to play these songs?

I play by ear.


4.) Do you really play by ear?

Yes, I do.


5.) Really??

YES! Stop messaging me!


6.) Can you tell me where I can get the notes that you used to play those songs?

Look up what "playing by ear" means.


7.) Well then can you at least make a tutorial video?

Maybe one day, but not now.


8.) How long have you been playing the piano for?

I started playing by ear about 15 years ago when I was 9 years old. After doing many performances at my school and my church, my parents decided to make me take piano lessons at the age of 12. After about 2 months of lessons, I decided to quit because while I was teaching myself how to play cool songs from video games like Mario, Zelda, and Mega Man, my piano teacher was making me learn songs like "London Bridge" and "Mary Had A Little Lamb". Pretty understandable, right?


9.) That's funny. I have the same keyboard as you!

Cool.


10.) How come you won't accept my friend request? (or) Why did you delete me from your friend's list?

I've been getting incredibly too much spam, so I have been ignoring all bulletins and videos sent to me, and as a result I have missed multiple bulletins and videos that I wish I would have seen. So I went through and deleted all my friends and now I'm starting fresh. If you'd really like me to add you as a friend, just send me a message and I'll accept your friend request.

11.) How come you don't play your covers in the right key?

I play them in the key that I think sounds/works best for me.


12.) Uhhhh... That's not how that part goes in the real song. Why are you playing it wrong?

No, I'm not playing it wrong. Again, I play it the way I think sounds best. Everything is played exactly as intended, except for a few slip ups here and there. If you think I don't already know the differences between the original songs and my covers, then you think too lowly of me and too highly of yourself.


13.) Are you sure your videos aren't fake?

If you think they're fake, then you're an idiot.


14.) Then why does it sound like you are playing three melodies?

Because I can play three melodies and you can't. Stop complaining.


15.) I just commented on one of your videos. How come you deleted it?

Because your comment was either dumb or offensive.


16.) Why do you wear the headphones?

So that I can hear what I'm playing. My head phones are hooked up to my computer, and my computer is hooked up to my keyboard so that I can record the song that I'm playing and then add the music over the video.


17.) What do you do that for?

The microphones on cameras suck, and using audio cables provide much better sound quality.


18.) Ah HA! So it is fake! That really isn't you playing!

Look dumbass, the sound you hear is the exact sound you see being played. If you listen closely, you can even hear a few mistakes. Notice when you hear those mistakes, you can actually SEE the mistakes, too! Stop being an idiot.


19.) Wow. I just read your FAQ. You really are arrogant.

No, I'm not arrogant. People are just morons - especially those who think my videos are fake, ask me the same common-sense questions over and over again, or accuse me of being arrogant. Leave me alone.


20.) How come you decided to number the questions in your FAQ?

To make it easier for people to find the answer to any questions they may have. So instead of just telling people to read my entire FAQ, I can now say, "Please refer to #15 in my FAQ. You are guilty of the former."


And thanks for watching my videos!
