Red Hot Chili Peppers - Wet Sand (Piano Cover)

Happy Birthday, Sam!

So I've decided to post piano videos as a birthday gift for friends who have some musical significance to me. You've been a great influence on the types of music that I've listened to throughout my whole life: Linkin Park, Orange Range, Jay Chou, and most recently, Red Hot Chili Peppers. I decided to try covering Wet Sand because it's one of your favorite RHCP songs, and if I remember correctly, you also know how to play the intro on guitar. Anyways, happy 20th birthday, stay awesome, and keep sending me cool music!

Notes: So this is my first piano recording, I guess. I played this by ear, just improvised off the chord progression for the left hand, and played the basic melody with the right. As you may be able to tell, I'm still new to improvisation, and haven't had piano lessons in around 8 years, so any tips or feedback would be welcome. I shortened the song, too; because of my limited skill, I can't manage playing through a full 5 minute song without screwing up many many times, and I wanted to finish this on time. I made a couple melodic mistakes during the chorus, the guitar solo at the end is pretty messy and I should get in the habit of playing with a metronome so I don't go off tempo so much.

More piano covers to come in the future when I have time!

@woeliewoelie3 Sure, pm me your email and I can send you my arrangement. It's slightly different from what I played, though.

The soft and simple style suited the start of the song, but I think you should have elaborated things a bit more in the second chorus and the end of the song-it just wasn't climactic enough. Meh, I should do piano covers for some RHCP songs but I'm too lazy.D:

Everything is lovely.

The only thing that hinders this cover is the syncaption; there is none.
