learn more classical pieces, you'll improve better, and to be honest they sound way cooler

also playing pop/rock stuff like that (speaking from experience here) won't teach you much of anything for the most part. that song for example is mostly arpeggios in the left hand and the melody with some embellishments in the right hand

try to learn solfeggietto. its one of the pieces i still remember and can play from when i used to play piano. plus its ridiculously short too

dude plays it a little too fast but its the only video i can find of it on youtube where the dynamics are anywhere near correct :/

Lol trust me, I'm a sucker for classical music. I play these songs for fun, and from people's requests. I'm currently learning Chopin's Ballade No. 1, a pretty popular piece by Chopin. Maybe I'll put up a video of that song one day.

Oh and the Solfeggietto performance was cool. I played it when I was 8 or 9, somewhere around there. >___>;;

ach if you're good then why the hell are you playing cascada

Lol, I like techno music as well. >___< Can't classical pianists listen to other music for once >__< I remember listening to that song soo many times that one day I was sitting down on the piano and I picked up the melody and just randomly created the left hand, and viola, I made that YouTube video hahaha.

And I don't put classical songs on YouTube only because the only thing I'll get is bastards that give you criticism in which they don't know what they're talking about at all. -___-;

Cascada = eurodance (not techno)

That song actually doesn't sound like a pile of shit when played on a piano.

lol, that sounds cool.

i like playing shit like this on piano too....but never realized that the best way to improve was all that classical crap i hated that my teacher made me play. man i haven't played in a long time. i want to get my own, but a freakin upright is $3k

Agreed totally on this one... Classical is the way to go. My favorite piece I learned was Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin. I just love that song. I love playing Schubert's Imptomptus especially Op. 2- 4 also.

Yeah, Fantasie Impromptu was one of my fav's too. Until I found better songs than that...

I actually got my screenname from the song Fantasie Impromptu. :O

my favorite piece to play was Tubular Bells. honestly, i still think it's a modern day classical piece. totally instrumental and not just piano, but man, so awesome.

That was great. I want to learn how to play the piano. Suggestions?
