  • @nunayerdangbiznez it's all about soul man. the mind don't make decisions when the soul takes the reins.

  • As a brand new keyboard student I can see that you make this LOOK so easy. It sounds very sparse and simple, yet it boggles my mind to be able to perfectly keep time with the left hand and play those quick notes with the right hand. ;-D I would feel I had mastered the piano enough for my own satisfaction, if I could just play this one song the way you play it! Can you recommend a relatively easier song for a beginner to learn that sounds almost as cool as this one?

  • awesome. great playing, great piano lesson, and the history of the piece as well.

    keep it up!

  • Thank you very much :)
