Yeah, I make music and stuff.
About Me:
F.A.Q
(Yes, these are FREQUENTLY asked questions)
*Note: Some of you might have noticed that I took out my FAQ and replaced it with a simple comment about me playing by ear, not being able to read music, and not making fake videos. I did it because I felt that my FAQ was a little over-aggressive. After having my FAQ down for not even two weeks, I have been bombarded with a ridiculous amount of stupid (and even offensive) comments and questions. It is now clear that this FAQ is very necessary. Sorry if your intelligence is offended.
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.) Do you take requests?
No, but I do take suggestions into consideration if you want to throw them out there.
9.) How long have you been playing the piano for?
I started playing by ear 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 a few 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?
10.) How long does it take you to perfect a song?
For me, a song is never perfected, which is why Im so hesitant to make new videos, because I know that once I put a video up, Im going to find ways to improve it even more and I dont want to upload two videos of the same song.
11.) That's funny. I have the same keyboard as you!
Cool.
12.) 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.
13.) 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.
14.) 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.
15.) Are you sure your videos aren't fake?
If you think they're fake, then you're an idiot.
16.) Then why does it sound like you are playing three melodies?
Because I can play three melodies and you can't. Stop complaining.
17.) I just commented on one of your videos. How come you deleted it?
Because your comment was either dumb or offensive.
18.) 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.
19.) What do you do that for?
The microphones on cameras suck, and using audio cables provide much better sound quality.
20.) 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.
21.) 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.
And thanks for watching my videos!

I found one of your videos while I was surfing Youtube and you are incredibly talented. :)
And the idea of attaching your headset to your keyboard, then hooking the keyboard to the computer is genius. Totally took out any static or background noise that I heard with other videos. The sound quality is flawless, like it was from a real recording studio. :) Amazing work.
