| How many years / practice does it take (on average) to become that proficient with the piano? |

I know this is a totally generic answer, but I'd say it varies greatly. I've been playing piano since I was 7 but I'm probably not quite that good. I mean, he was mostly just doing a lot of arpeggio runs and stuff...nothing TERRIBLY difficult, but he certainly did it quite well. More impressive is that he was able to knock out 7 or 8 trance tracks "just for the hell of it"... I'd have to practice that for a good while. |

| Well what I thought was very nice was how well he improvised. I heard a ton of added notes in the performance that were not in the originals and they sounded great. It seems having that ability would be absolutely stunning when it comes to writing melodies. If you could sit there and play harmonic pieces for an hour and then go back and listen I bet you'd find some amazing melodies. |

| hoooly I'm going to need this guy to write out some sheets for that stuff. I saw Flaming June, then children and Saltwater and Out of The Blue and I think I almost died. |

This is Torley Wong, he's an INCREDIBLE piano player. He has autism/aspergers, I don't know how much that contributes to his playing, nor do I know how long he's been playing. Though I do know that all he did to play that arrangement was spend maybe a few minutes learning each melody, virtually all of the transitions and the harmonic stuff was improvised.

That's a medley of video game music, also improvised. |

Another amazing thing was how spot-on he was... everything seemed so improvised, and yet so precise. |

Maybe , because those savant autistics have massive memory power , so you could be right. |
