Snuff - Slipknot (Piano Cover)

[WATCH IN HD FOR BEST AUDIO & VIDEO QUALITY]

I fell in love with this piece when I first heard it on Slipknot's 'All Hope Is Gone' album. So I wanted to cover it on piano and re-capture the beauty of the song.

This is the first video to be uploaded onto my music channel, and as such, there will be plenty more to come. The focus will be metal, videogame music, and even classical style pieces that I have enjoyed over the years.

Thanks for all your great comments and support on this song and the accompanying tutorials. I've decided that due to the poor sound quality of this video, I'm gonna record a remake of this in high quality audio, captured directly into my mixing desk/DAW software, and I'll be offering a copy of the mp3 on request.

My schedule's crammed full right now with other pieces I'm learning and tidying up on piano, my metal band, and a full time job. But the Snuff remake WILL be happening.

Cheers! Mart.

two things 1) THAT IS A SICK TAT! 2) ive been playing piano for around 9 months or so, and i got the sheet music for this song from vkgoeswild and i was thinking that from your tutorials and the sheets i would be able to piece it togethor, and so far all ive gotten done is the very first part, do you have any advice for the 2nd part of the song ( that would be the stuff done under your 2nd tutorial ), thanks, and this was incredibly amazing man ! keep it up

[Zer0MT]

@empirefreak1 Awesome, that's a great start to work with the sheet music from the beginning. It just gives you a huge advantage because it's a constant point of reference for following the song through as you learn it.

As for advice for Part II, the best thing you can do (like I say in the lesson), is to slow everything right down without even worrying about the tempo or playing to a click. Work each hand separately with the sheets, and slowly try to combine everything together.

@Zer0MT Hey man!, thanks a lot ive went over everything just like you said to do, and i think ive just about got it =) all the best

[Zer0MT]

@empirefreak1 Excellent! It just takes time really. Don't expect to learn anything too quickly when it comes to musical instruments. It takes years (YEARS!) to be confident and fluid in playing and performance and it's a constant, unending journey with no end. So don't get discouraged when things seem difficult, just keep practicing...and celebrate when you make an achievement or learn a song or section of a song.

Good work, keep it going! =)

@empirefreak1 Also remember that this part can be quite a challenge if you've not come across these kinds of rhythms before, and there's more than one type of rhythm being played at once AND with the same hand. So it's definitely not beginner material. It will probably sound terrible when you're first getting used to it, but that's just the way the learning process goes. Don't think it wasn't the same for me at first! Keep practicing and you'll definitely get it.

@haloslaughter84 Thanks a lot for the support, and it's great to know you've been trying to learn from the tutorials. Keep up the practice and you'll get the whole song down eventually.

@2master23 Thanks! It's cool, and you were on the right track; I'm British-born Chinese. And by the way, if you want to impress the girls, learn the triangle. No girl alive can resist a triangle player.

[2master23]

Very nice; I've never seen anyone play this good. Dang; now I don't know what gets a girl impressed... a piano, violin, or an electric/ acoustic guitar. Btw, are you part Korean or chinese or something... not trying to me racial, I'm just curious cuz I'm S. Korean/ American.
