@@GabrielFoshee. … you reply to someone’s comment after 6 years to say some false. Blues is usually a slow and much more melodic with intricate jazz harmonies.

OK, for those who think he's "Crazy", you might want to look up a guy named Jerry Lee Lewis. Jerry Lee's style is exactly what this guy is emulating, and it's the only way Boogie Woogie piano should be played. This guy nails everything perfectly. Absolutely awesome.
This guy definitely is good and amazing, but he is a little sloppy. Jerry lee does get nuts with his dancing and head bobbing and things like that, but his playing and timing is spot on. This guy speeds up and slows down speeds up then slows down. When he is getting crazy and pulling his hand high up and hitting the notes crazily you can listen and tell he hits multiple notes that are wrong and it blurs the sound and some notes sound off and sloppy. If he would just tighten up the screws a little, he could be a whole lot better, if he can get any more awesome.
I think I may have used an expression that is just used where I live, but you misinterpreted it. I said he's "Crazy", meaning I was amazed by how good he was. Like sometimes people say wow that catch he made was insane! for example. Sorry Michael didn't mean he was actually crazy, I was super impressed.
I want to say he nailed it but I'm afraid people might think I'm trying to make a pun, so I'll say he hammered it, probably got screwed for it, and he really drilled into that piano...
Holy Cow! I haven't heard anyone pound the ivories like that since Jerry Lee walked up to the keyboard. this guy is just good. Thank You for sharing this video.
Rickey Mitchell..are you sure?.. OK.. then I would highly advise you to listen to Lucas Sestak "this piano song is very fast" or "key engine"... e sure.. it will fuckin' blow your mind.. 😉👍
I had the privilege of seeing Jerry Lee, ChuckBerry, Bo Diddley, and a whole lot of other great musicians and singers perform one fabulous night in maybe 1971 at the LA Forum. Jerry woulda been proud of this kid. He just needs to learn to stand up and push the bench backwards and never miss a beat and play while standing up. I bet he could!
All of y'all worried about the camera quality are missing the point of the video its not about the quality of the video its showing an amazing talent he has
It's too bad that we don't have more places like this Hardware Store where ordinary people like this guy get the chance to show off their talent . I remember watching a Video where they sat up a Piano at the Airport and total strangers would sit down to play it was awesome to watch. This shows me that Music can really bring people together in a good way. I bet there are millions of people like this man who will never have the chance to show their talent and that's a real shame. I remember being on a ship coming to the United States and watching a group of Americans playing guitar . ..so I went and got mine and joined them ,even though I didn't speak any English ... I will never forget that day. Music can bring people together and it is awesome.
Couldn't care about the quality of the film or the moaning comments about why a piano is in a hardware store. The guy can play! That's some fantastic foot tapping music going on!
Viewers should be grateful that the video is in landscape. People holding a smartphone have a 50% chance of getting it right, but more often than not they get it wrong.
He brings out the pinkies on rare occasions. But he says it’s easier to play without them. Every piano teacher is stunned that he can do this with such an odd technique
@@halv0420 not hard to use for any of the chords, it’s just that in my experience improving this style, I often will have to go-to riffs that I have practiced in the past. My fingers remember how to play them when I want to. He has a great library of them with his muscle memory to not use his pinky, interesting and awesome.
aside for how well he plays I love how into it he gets ,like he doesn't care who is watching he is just being himself and he is in bliss. I wish more people were like this , people that did things they enjoyed for their own happiness
Fun fact - in 7th grade, he broke his pinky playing football in gym class. This is why he positions his hand so awkwardly. The perks of being friends with him is that when he’s a household name I’ll be able to rattle off random facts about him that nobody else would have ever known. lol
@@TheJordanHyland I thought that was jacob toliver at first in the thumbnail but after listening to him i know its him, jerry lee was so wild he couldnt even wait to die before being reincarnated. You are lucky jake is a great piano player, and i love the way he dances and plays loosely instead of being so serious.
Freakin' amazing! Kid must have been doing this since age 5. Crazy? Yeah, just like that wacked out crazy-man, the wild, madly talented singer/pianist Jerry Lee Lewis. He has Lewis's chops down -- the songs, the tempo, the piano work (using the entire keyboard, top to bottom), even the voice (and, I think, the accent). We need more "random crazy" like this. I wonder if JLL has seen this?
He's not bad, but I wouldn't call this amazing, not even close. His hands and fingers are way too stiff, and if he doesn't improve his posture, he won't get any better. Other than that, he's alright, but way better than I can do, that's for sure.
miszuisu Please don't take this as snappy, but I'm confused as to how you can critique him if it's already way better than you can do? Not to mention how you can manage to tell how stiffly he happens to be holding the muscles inside his fingers from a 240p resolution video. Are you a music teacher that doesn't play piano or something?
These people below arguing about posture and use of pinkies are hilarious. Does it really matter? The guy sounds awesome, and when it comes to music, that's all that counts.
blacksabfan Actually he sounds like a drunk guy, who has no clue of what he is doing. The composer must feel very bad hearing this guy "playing" his music.
When he lights it up @2:24 I can feel the energy he's bringing. This video will never get old to me even if it's only been 9 yrs when it first debuted and I watched for the very first time. Love it
That playing is even more awesome considering he doesn't have the use of all five fingers on his left hand. Well done sir!! Definitely rates a thumbs-up.
He's not just a "crazy random guy". His name is Jacob Tolliver. He is only 17 years old! Look for other videos on RUclips using his name for the search term. What a talent!
JCB You're so sweet. Im not gay sorry but you still sound like the sort Id have you as a friend irl :) Nothing wrong with being gay if you're that way inclined. (Oh btw.. Im no dad-bod, I like to work out) ;-)
Amazing the talent that is walking around we don't even know / hear of until someone this this fella walks in and just starts playing. Planned or not, he is quite talented !!!!!
He's proving that classic rock 'n' roll from the 50's is immortal.
That is actually the blues

Yeah I know right
Jacob Tolliver played for Jerry Lee at his 85th Bday!👍👍👍
This guy is so good
Now we know where the spirit of Jerry Lee went! This guy is a pure reincarnation - down to the last detail and how much he gets into the music.
Fabulous! I am in my 70s but he brought me back to my teen-age years with the great Jerry Lee Lewis! Rock on!!!!!
This young man is absolutely amazing. Great technique and voice and spirit. Rock on!
What a great and spontaneous performance of a great song. Dude is VERY talented, seems a bit humble but confident at the same time---loved this!
jwa718 Delete? About as spontaneous as a grand piano (baby or otherwise) in the middle of a hardware store aisle "randomly".
Crazy Random Guy needs a record contract. Excellent!

Yeah, but he's not some weirdo like some people were implying. And he's much better than I could be. 😀

LOL, OK. 😀 Crazy good, makes sense.
Rydeman2 And Jerry lee Lewis should be played with precision?
I want to say he nailed it but I'm afraid people might think I'm trying to make a pun, so I'll say he hammered it, probably got screwed for it, and he really drilled into that piano...
haha PUNS!
+Cody Morgan that's true...i never saw anything like it! hope he becomes a permanent fixture there.... i bet +JCB wants to see his caulk.
+Cody Morgan U almost made me pee my pants dude!!! U R hilarious!!!
i would say he blew everyone away..
He brought his piano to the hardware store because he heard they make keys...
Chuck Berry.... The best rock n roller ever.
Kid your talented !!
Holy Cow! I haven't heard anyone pound the ivories like that since Jerry Lee walked up to the keyboard. this guy is just good. Thank You for sharing this video.

Rickey Mitchell If you like Jerry then try some Jason D Williams also, if you haven't already.
Rickey Mitchell no s*** I totally agree with you it was awesome.
Rickey Mitchell He’s not just good. He’s fantastic. I think he outdid Jerry Lee.
He’s actually a Jerry Lee impersonator. He’s been perfecting his style for a long time.
That aint no random guy, THATS JACOB TOLIVER!!
thank you
Outstanding ! I play this often, my mother played just like this, this video reminds me of her so many years ago.
Holy smokin piano!!!! That was awesome!!!
I had the privilege of seeing Jerry Lee, ChuckBerry, Bo Diddley, and a whole lot of other great musicians and singers perform one fabulous night in maybe 1971 at the LA Forum.

Ben Moore Agreed!!! Amazing!!!
Incredible talent, superb performance & personality to boot! Very enjoyable :)
This got to be one of the best cover ever done!! I would pay just to hear and see him play !!!!!!!!!!!! Aloha my man.
He has played Jerry Lee Lewis in Million Dollar Quartet! He is amazing!
Wow... Holy Cow is right! This kid has an amazing natural talent! He had to be born this way... in his DNA.
Just imagine if that bass hand had all 5 fingers! Nuts!

i don't care if this was random or not. THIS GUY IS GOOOOOD!!!
Who cares why there's a piano in a hardware shop🙄
This guy can play piano like a pro. Loved it👍
He is unbelievable!!!
great work, talented and lively.. do more....pls........u have so many thumbs up and here is another from me,,, well done to you.
Wow! Fantastic show dude. Thanks.

and he is missing a finger, he is super with his talent
Nve noticed that👍👍
He said he doesn't use his pinkies, " reduces the chance of mistakes by 20%" that is what i thought too!
He brings out the pinkies on rare occasions. But he says it’s easier to play without them. Every piano teacher is stunned that he can do this with such an odd technique

This guy is really talented!! Rocking the bass with 4 fingers, too?!!? He's got some mad skills going on right here :-)
Could be he already wore his fingers off, lmao

@@TheJordanHyland Who is he??
@Some One he is missing a finger on his left hand and still plays like a wild man. Pretty good.

hey..he has it going on..what a talent and didn't miss a trick..thank you
Damn, that's gotta feel awesome to be able to do that!
This guy is more than amazing, he is EPIC!!!!!
One of the best out there he should be on tour.
hey chuck!, this your cousin Marvin.. Marvin Berry! You know that new sound you's lookin for?
Listen to this!
+Jeff Hartwig That made me LOL
BACK TO THE FUTURE BABEH!!!!!

miszuisu fuck you your just a RUclips critic who is jealous of someone with talent unlike yourself
miszuisu huh you do not play the piano. Reminds me of a recital posture is everything. Guess you played up till 8th grade!
Ik this was 7 years ago so u probably know this but Jacob is actually friends with the Lewis family now
One word......awesome.
Man you tore them keys up ! You made Jerry Lee proud
These people below arguing about posture and use of pinkies are hilarious. Does it really matter? The guy sounds awesome, and when it comes to music, that's all that counts.
aamen!!!!!!!!!!!!!
blacksabfan he only has 1 pinky anyway lol
blacksabfan Actually he sounds like a drunk guy, who has no clue of what he is doing. The composer must feel very bad hearing this guy "playing" his music.
B.noone
Where have you posted your music then?
I dont have to post music to show that im better :D. Sorry for sounding like a douchbag.
they guy is great, he is so happy when he plays and sing. his music bring so much joy.
I need this guy in my band, give me a call man, u rock and u got the roll, bravo
He plays in Vegas
He's not crazy! He's got Boogie-Woogie in his soul baby!

Omg is he missing a baby finger on his left hand?! This boss is the boss of all bosses ✌

He looks like the kind of guy who might lose a baby finger. lol
Alright Kidder nope, it's curled under the same as his right hand pinky finger. Kinda a bummer cuz that was awesome!
ha ha ha it completely got me! Cheers
Ew

It wasn't just his music... I was impressed with his explosive confidence!
It's moments like this where I wonder what I am doing with my life
I heard that
LoL! Same. :)
When he lights it up @2:24 I can feel the energy he's bringing. This video will never get old to me even if it's only been 9 yrs when it first debuted and I watched for the very first time. Love it
This guy did Jerry Lee proud...good job!
I was thinking of him. JLL.
On fire.
This guys was like JLL reincarnated...?
I know right
The only way to truly honor Jerry Lee would be to marry his cousin, so...
I like his style, nicely played.
Bravo !!!! self taught from the Soul....
This gave me chills....
+Hayley Ward When you play and listen to jazz alot, it kinda wears off.
+Zachary Robinson (GMOtheEMO) Your comment is so hilarious. It sounds so snobby, get your nose out of the sky dude.
Keegan Beyer Well its true! lol
That playing is even more awesome considering he doesn't have the use of all five fingers on his left hand. Well done sir!! Definitely rates a thumbs-up.
Talk about carrying on! Rock on brother👍👍
if this guy doesn't play out he needs to......... talented for sure
I think he is awesome!! You play it like you feel it!!!! Crazy good!!! Rock on!!!
Dang son keep'er goin' keep jamming out to the sound of music. I'm enjoying this song, it's amazing and pretty awesome too.
JERRY LEWIS ST HIS FREAKIN' BEST. Loved it man. Cheers.
All I can hear him saying is "Ahh bashah babasha hah!!" and stuff like that.
Emperor of Cartoons I know he's singing clearly, but the camera's sound quality isn't quite as good.
+Emporer of Cartoons I can only hear "whole lotta shaking going on"
lol... open your ears
+adam clark earthquake ?
i don't understand? what about an earthquake
Keep up the GOOD work..!!!!!!!. awesome.
I think that guy's single spontaneous act was more marvelous than anything I've ever done in my whole life...
Old School supreme, I've been trying to play that for 60 years, you inspired to try again.
This was a great performance. Thanks.
He's not just a "crazy random guy". His name is Jacob Tolliver. He is only 17 years old! Look for other videos on RUclips using his name for the search term. What a talent!
damn! that was hilarious! kid has style, knows how to slap those keys and look good doing it...
Love it! Never get tired of this,I come back & listen often.....
Some people have great skill and talent. This guy is one of them... Well done Sir..
that was him all over again. BEAUTIFUL performance!!!!!!!!
INCREDIBLE!!! Love this guy!!!! I want to play like that!
Great talent, love that some younger individuals know how to play good music and are taking the time to learn it,awesome job.
Musical talent is like magic, it's super human. Musicians leave me in awe of their talent.
Why in the world do I like this video so much? This guy is talented!
This was why the like button was created 😀
The finger dexterity of piano players never ceases to amaze me.
Just Loved it. Thanks
Now! That was really great! Great playing you did right there! AWESOME man!
That was great. Jerry should be proud!
I was thinking the same thing!
