  • My piano cover of the intro to Boston's Foreplay/Long Time. It's originally played on an organ with the full band but it sounds pretty good like this as well!
    Original song: • Boston - Foreplay / Lo...

    Thank you for teaching me how to play this song. Now I can play 6 whole songs on piano. I’ve been watching this video every other night and learning each piece around 10 seconds of video at a time for the last 3 months and I finally have it memorized. I just need more repetition until I can play it flawlessly.

    this guy is amazing! most people who run these synthesia channels dont really know how to play and just run a midi file, which is fine, but it certainly adds to the listening experience if a person is actually playing it. well done

    The skill gap between this guy and the bottom of even the best 1% of people who have ever touched a piano must be as great as that between the Olympic Marathon gold medalist and that guy up the road who won the local Old Home Days 5K and a jar of honey.

    • @SynthesiaComposer
      @SynthesiaComposer  4 года назад +9

      Interesting analogy. But if you think about it, the vast majority of people who've touched a piano probably spent no more than a few minutes hitting random keys. Probably flattens the curve quite a bit.

      @@SynthesiaComposer True, just as most people who start jogging don't stick with it for more than a week or two, if that. But mostly this is just you being humble. ;o)
      Either way, this is vastly superior to a finger-free presentation since positioning is so vital, so it is much appreciated.

      @@kemibe Thank you! I've never actually tried to figure out the fingering based solely on a video of someone's hands, is it difficult? Sheet music usually has some finger markings on the trickiest parts but leaves the rest up to you.

      It's mostly a transcription of the original, with some slight changes to emulate the whole band, or just to make it fit better for the piano instead of the original Hammond organ-type sound.
