    More than 10 years in the past I fell in love ith your interpretation, because I loved Nujabes and Counting Stars. Downloaded it as mp3 and for years it became one of my favorite songs. Time passed and I forgot until today. Thanks my friend!

    Did you know that "Counting Stars" has a sample form "Affirmation" a Jazz Standard composed by "José Feliciano"?.

    ...Best free styling,Nujabes,piano playing solo ive ever seen...

  • @MrTomfooligans

    I love the fact that, since you can hear the thump of the keys as they rest into the piano, it's almost as if there's a perfectly harmonized beat going on in behind the whole thing. Also, your piano playing is amazing.

    I studied trumpet for 6 years but then switched to piano and I've been playing for about 4 years now, it's really relative to how fast you learn and how much you put into it though, keep practicing! I recommend Mark Levine's Jazz piano book

  • @wtl63
    @wtl63 14 лет назад

    just wanted to let you know that you have inspired me to attempt jazz after years of classical. i still find improv hard despite your tutorials, so i'm kinda just playing by and watching the keys you press like a noob. but maybe you can help critique me if i upload something. thanks mmeronek! keep posting vids as much as you can!

  • @mmeronek
    @mmeronek  13 лет назад

    @wtl63 I tend to hold down the pedal a lot, but I just change it whenever I change the chord because it will mash with the previous notes. Yeah I used it at the beginning for sure, otherwise it would sound staccato and when I think of this song it is very smooth and needs that emphasis with the pedal

    hey mmeronek how often do you use the pedals? are you only avoiding the pedals on the scales? are you using them when you play the main melody at the beginning? sorry for the barrage of questions. :)

  • @mmeronek
    @mmeronek  16 лет назад

    I actually thought it was pretty necessary for this song's feel and melody, because I feel like it sounds a little choppy without it, it could be the case I used it too much tho, dunno you'd have to clarify
