    A bit, perhaps, but not as much as you'd think. I play by ear, and if you were to watch my other videos you'll see I never use sheet music (the music on the piano in this video was incidental; it's my mom's). I probably sounded about like this the first time I ever played this song. Depending on the song, if I've heard it enough to be able to sing or hum along to it, I can generally play through it without much thought, and without having to "learn" it, per se.

    The only thing that the blindfold does is throw me off because I'm used to being able to see. I don't really need to look at the piano to play it, unless the piece is very fast or complicated. Reason is, I usually can't tell you where my hands are about to go before they get there. I don't understand how it works, but there you go.
