I play piano and it really helps take my mind off of things. I’m always running out of things to play, or stuck at current pieces I’m working on. So I thought, to help practice and to distract my mind, maybe i should start uploading piano request videos.
So, name a song, any song you would like to hear. Hopefully i can put something together within 24 hours.
(I also do guitar)

Can you perform anything from Bach’s “Well-Tempered Clavier”?
Oh wow, i was not expecting anything less than Taylor swift.. And here you are with Bach. I can play the first part of Bourree BWV 996 on guitar..
I have never actually heard of that piece before.. From the looks of it, its long.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezZdbzreNcs How’s this? I can’t promise the full 5 minutes, i have work ect.
is that what you’re talking about?
Exactly!
The C-Major one is probably the easiest to learn in a short amount of time. 🙂
He did a whole book of them, one in every key, major and minor.
I noticed that, really odd. im listening to the full version now. It might be nice to learn. something different than the same artist, as im playing now. I’ll let you know which one i really like.
Preludes AND Fugues.
He was a genius at fitting all those puzzle pieces together.
I had to learn the C-Major prelude in college.
Once I learned it, it was very relaxing to sit there at the piano on a gray rainy day and just keep playing.
Its hard for me to relax, and play.. Like meditating like. Which is really sad because i feel thats kind of the point. I’m always overthinking about what im playing
i kind of wish i could hear bach himself play
Bach is dead.
Do “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns n Roses. Piano Rendition.
I’d put a quarter in the jukebox for that.
I wouldn’t mind hearing some Metallica.
Possibly some Godsmack.
Metallica’s good actually better than good Metallica’s awesome 😀
Absolutely!
Not the biggest fan of classic rock, but i do enjoy Metallica.
If it proves to be too much, here are some “Plan B” suggestions:
Lullaby, by Billy Joel

And So It Goes, by Billy Joel

I’ll look into these! Bach will probably take some time, is all. I don’t usually play classical music on piano, its more of a guitar thing that i do.
How about Lonely Boy by the Black Keys?
Nice. A piano has black keys on it.
What if you played a Black Keys song using only black keys?
You could name your band ‘Sharps & Flats’.
Kinda catchy, no? Yes?
Sounds like a law firm.
“Sharps & Flats” – attorneies at law.
lol Morris that’s funny. I’m interested to see what darkwillow comes up with.
I mis-spelled attorneys
Funny points must be subtracted.
only playing black keys would lock me into a pentatonic scale or something else weird.. A average major/minor key has a total of 7 notes, and there are only 5 black keys. There are lots of songs in pentattonic only, but your average song is going to want to have that 4 and 7 in there.. I can write one in pentatonic, (only black) but that would be a different post.. I’ll will howeverlook into Black keys, i’m not familiar with the band name, and see if i can do one in F# or something.
Closer to the edge 30 seconds to mars? I don’t know I’m just thinking of my current state and I am closer to the edge.
-Suicide
I know that one! I think that could be done, probably only do the first verse and chorus though.
Yay! how about Say It Ain’t So by Weezer or Creep by Radiohead? I’m no longer closer to the edge :3
i was literally just looking at some chords for that song
you have to pick one that means a lot! not just a random one 😛 And more specific! lol
i have both of those songs, on rocksmith..
i can learn faster on guitar, and itll sound better on piano :/
I have many fav songs depending on my mood 😛 also I am random XD
I’m doing you today, so ill pick one of them.
but first, i have to get to know you better..
Oh god be prepared to run lol XD
ill just stalk your profile or something :3 all creepy like
XD My god you’re gonna be horrified with what you find 😛
Today is gonna be cringefest for me >3<
