I love your version of the entertainer; doesn't deviate to much from the original but is different just enough to make it sound nice.

 

 

 

 

 

Nice Job.

I loved them! You're really talented. You know, if you took lessons you could become really good, even better than you are now. Learning to read music isn't that hard, either. But it's totally okay if taking formal lessons isn't your thing. They were still pretty nice. :)

I don't really care to learn how to read music. It's like... Ok, now I can play something that anybody else that can read can also play..

 

 

 

I study music theory, independently. I have my own style, as well as my dad.

 

 

 

Thanks for your advice tho, I really do appreciate the input =)

 

I tried lessons for about a year, but I couldn't stand it. My teacher wanted me to play classical music, and to play it EXACTLY the way it was written. He got mad when I showed up one week putting boogy-woogy to Beethoven :shame:

 

 

 

My thoughts of music: If you know the melody line, then you should be able to play the song any way you want to. Just develop a basic chord progression to go along with it, and then improvise upon it. If you know the key signiture of the song, then you can do runs in the song using all the notes in the diatonic scale. There are so many endless possibilities on the keyboard that it almost seems a shame for me to copy somebody elses

You're good from what I saw. Your dad is amazing though, his left hand alone had me mesmerised.

I have a DVD of my dad playing for about 20 mins, but I don't know how to get it onto my computer :S

I added a song list for both my medleys :)

:shock: You're good. Great, in fact. And so is your Dad.

Your versions of my immortal and house of the rising sun were awsome :)

 

 

 

 

 

And wow, your dad's playing left me speechless :shock:

Thanks for all your comments :)

 

 

 

Btw, for those who haven't seen it, you should watch my dad's video "There will be Some Changes Made", and watch the final 1 minute of it. His left hand is pretty amazing haha.
