    You know what really makes you stand out to me, Jonny May? The fact that you don't look like you're focusing really hard on the piano. You don't have this look of concentration on your face. You're grooving while you're playing. It takes A LOT of skill to get that good, especially with how complex your songs are. And it makes it so your videos are that much more enjoyable, because people like to see you enjoy yourself while you're playing, especially me. Excellent work!

    That is what i call a skill. Takes years to achieve. Amazing to see how precise your left hand is. I played piano for 4 years and this kind of music, when you have to jump with your left hand, was most difficult. ResPect

  • @BTBHSOHBOY

    Hey Jonny! Just out of curiosity, have you considered releasing a full album of ragtime Disney music? I'm sure many of your subscribers would be more than thrilled to buy it! I've been hunting for Disney ragtime for the better part of the last seven years, and your arrangements are the best by far!

    • @JonnyMay
      @JonnyMay  8 лет назад +32

      Yes I have considered it! There are so many great Disney songs. This summer I will likely start putting out compilation albums of my performances. So I will probably do a Disney one.

      +Jonny May you should consider sending this to Disney btw. They have covers of all their Disney songs on the speakers as you walk through their Disneyland parks! A lot of them are ragtime too! Could be some nice cash too 😉

  • @bluebeary6050
    @bluebeary6050 8 лет назад +15

    I almost never comment on videos, but I felt that I just had to say that watching you play is simply inspiring! I've been playing piano for about 8 years and I've never seen this kind of happiness just emanate from any players, including myself, unfortunately. A truly enjoyable and inspiring video! Amazing accuracy with those left hand jumps, too (always been a struggling point for me)!

      @KevinKuruvillaPianoCovers 8 лет назад

      ***** The part where he crosses over his hands, with the left hand above the right. The notes he plays on the right hand somewhat resemble a part of the Hungarian Rhapsody No.2. Hey, I might be wrong :)
