Martycli Piano Guy
Великобритания
Добавлен 7 дек 2017
I have been playing the piano since I was 7. I only took lessons from the age of 7-11 but kept playing and when I finished my University Education I joined a music course at a local college in order to get lessons from the jazz pianist who was one of the tutors.
I worked professionally occasionally on ships and in hotels around the world but stopped travelling when my daughter was born.
I enjoy playing ragtime and stride piano amongst other styles and love writing my own compositions which I have begun again after years of neglect. My music has been described as fun and happy although I can do melancholy! I just love good melodies.
I am hoping my videos will be of interest to and will encourage other pianists and musicians to keep practising and keep improving.
Please watch/listen, comment, share, like and subscribe but most of all enjoy!

The Rainbow Connection - a Kermit and Debbie Harry Piano Cover
I first heard this song as a very young person on the Muppet Show with Debbie Harry as the guest singer in a duet with Kermit the Frog. I thought it was a lovely song then and it's taken me decades to do an arrangement of it now.
I found it very appealing how Kermit was accompanying the music on his banjo (which incidentally was actually played by Steve Martin (comedian/actor) and I found Debbie Harry's voice suprisingly perfect for the tune. Karen Carpenter also did a great version but this remains my favourite.
It's sometimes amazing where you get your musical influences from - sometimes from the sublime, sometimes from the ridiculous. Hope you enjoy my piece of nostalgia. Please like, co...

'The White Witch' an original piano composition by Martycli Piano Guy for Halloween
Просмотров 20819 часов назад
This one is for my Mum. It is quite a happy tune and the reason being is that I don't think of October 31st as Halloween as much as it was my mother's birthday. Unfortunately she's no longer with us so I couldn't write something macabre for her so I kept it quite light. The reason behind the title 'The White Witch' is that when we were young me and my two brothers would joke with her that becau...
Beyond the Blue Horizon - Stride piano cover by Martycli Piano Guy (and his elephant!)
Просмотров 25621 день назад
'Beyond the Blue Horizon' is a 1930 song composed by Leo Robin, Richard A. Whiting and W. Franke Harling that was first performed by Jeanette MacDonald in the 1930 film 'Monte Carlo'. I know it from the Lou Christie version but it has been recorded by many others including Johnny Mathis, Artie Shaw and his Symphonic String Orchestra and perhaps most notably by Martycli Piano Guy in 2024! It is ...
PENNIES FROM HEAVEN

This is my version of Pennies From Heaven by John Burke and Arthur Johnson. This was first recorded by Bing Crosby in 1936 but many have recorded it since.

Now finally we have the Martycli Piano Guy version! I have just downloade...
Quick Improv Workout on 2, 5, 1s - 12 keys in a minute - Martycli the Piano Guy semiquaver Etude
Просмотров 2342 месяца назад
I write a lot of these exercises for myself to keep my fingers moving. Thought I might share one. There is no break just an endless stream of semiquavers. Sometimes it's triplets but not in this etude. The goal is fluency. I've used a trumpet sound rather than the usual piano for a bit of variety. Hope you enjoy playing along. the very gifted may play the same notes in both hands an octave or t...
Ballad Pour Adeline - Richard Clayderman cover. Ragtime/Stride piano version by Martycli Piano Guy
Просмотров 3242 месяца назад
This is my version of Richard Clayderman's most famous recording. It was actually written by Paul de Senneville the maestro who composed much of Clayderman's repertoire. I enjoy listening to the iconic French pianist with his dulcet tones but I have heard many versions of this tune by many pianists that nearly always sound the same that I wanted to do my own interpretation - and here it is. I c...

THE WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER Nostalgic piano memories of bygone era, Piano Cover

I learned of this tune through my Mum. I was very fortunate as a child my parents would take me on caravan holidays throughout Europe. We would drive from the North of England to Dover take the ferry to Calais and travel throughout Europe for 3 weeks. Whilst some of the memories are quite distant I still remember as we waited for the ferry my mother would point out the coastline and sing the ol...
DANIEL by Elton John & Bernie Taupin. Ragtime piano cover by Martycli Piano Guy
Просмотров 3286 месяцев назад
I've always been an Elton John fan and I also like the music of Scott Joplin. I like to multi-task so this is two tributes in one as I am playing Elton John's 'Daniel' in the style of Scott Joplin. In reality I use a number of techniques that are post Joplin but it has a strong ragtime feel to it. I apologise for the terrible puns on the front of the piano in the video. Please don't encourage m...
GONNA SIT RIGHT DOWN AND WRITE MYSELF A LETTER - Fats Waller Tribute and Cover by Martycli Piano Guy
Просмотров 3126 месяцев назад
Written by Joe Young and Fred E. Alhert, this song was most famously covered by Fats Waller. Fats Waller was an amazing character who could drink a gallon of gin and eat 12 hot dogs in one sitting and still knock out some amazing stride piano. The gangster Al Capone once had him kidnapped and forced him to play piano and every time he played a tune he stuffed a hundred dollar bill in his pocket...
A Sunday Stroll ... Original Piano Composition by Martycli Piano Guy

I haven't written anything original in a while so this is my latest offering. It's based on an afternoon spent walking in the seaside resort of Saltburn which is just 2 or 3 miles from where I live. We parked overlooking the sea and walked through the Valley Gardens. My daughter filmed it and the results I used for the artwork in the video - she can be seen poignantly walking away from the came...

We Can't Be Friends (Wait For Your Love) by Ariana Grande - Piano Cover by Martycli Piano Guy
Просмотров 3417 месяцев назад
My daughter challenged me to do something a bit more contemporary and suggested this tune. It wasn't so much a challenge as a suggestion but I interpreted it as a challenge as I tend to respond positively to challenges. It is a nice tune, I must admit. I tend to get to immersed in bygone eras I overlook quite a bit of good modern music. Ariana obviously has compositional skills and not to menti...

Kermit the Frog! I really liked this frog. In my country, the Muppet Show was also aired as part of a program called Sesame Street. I used to watch it a lot when I was a kid. As I get older, the things that remind me of my childhood resonate more than just nostalgia. Thank you for the wonderful upload my friend dear Marty❣️🎼❣️🎼
