    *Eyes roll back* this is absolutely perfect. As a fellow pianist this arrangement is stunning. Thank you for sharing

    love this cover. just covered this song myself

  • @guilbs88
    @guilbs88  8 лет назад +20

    Does anyone else think this song has a Rihanna-meets-Sia-meets-post-2007-Linkin-Park sound to it?
    By the way, thank you for everyone who has stopped by already. I'm sure a lot of you are looking for the actual recording of this song by Rihanna and found this instead, but I appreciate those who stayed to listen.

    • @MattGrossChannel
      @MattGrossChannel 8 лет назад +1

      Yes, Sia was partially responsible for composing "Sledgehammer".
      Stephen, thank you for sharing this!!!

    • @guilbs88
      @guilbs88  8 лет назад

      That makes so much sense. Even the way Rihanna pronounces "Sledgehammer" sometimes has a Sia vibe to it.
      Thanks for listening! And the comment. :)

      I've taken the liberty of subscribing to your channel. I'm getting my talent agent license after having worked as a casting director. Hopefully the occasion will arise when I can call upon your musical talents.

    @elStarvingArtist 8 лет назад +1

    The more I hear this song, the more I like it. Your piano cover is equally amazing! I try to learn piano, but then my teacher moved away and I haven't practiced in awhile. Still my favorite instrument.

    • @guilbs88
      @guilbs88  8 лет назад

      I hope you continue to play. It really is a magical instrument.

    • @elStarvingArtist
      @elStarvingArtist 8 лет назад

      I will definitely try again soon. It's the only instrument I really want to play. I had no idea there was so much math involve though and I'm terrible at math haha. I did managed to get the opening of Adele's Someone Like You down pretty good so there's hope yet.

      I think my biggest problem is that I rush most (all?) of my covers. Gotta work on that. It's one of those things that I know I do and I can't help but doing. Thanks for watching!

Perhaps in the future would you consider doing a cover? You're amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!! P.S. This video, Rihanna - Sledgehammer is my most favor video of yours!

    "Sledgehammer" lyrics
    RIHANNA LYRICS
    "Sledgehammer"
    I hit a wall, I never felt so low, so low
    Like a waterfall, my tears dropped to the floor, the floor
    They left a swimming pool of salted crimes, crimes
    Oh, what could I do to change your mind?
    Nothing
    I'm bracing for the pain and I am letting go
    I'm using all my strength to get out of this hole
    I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
    Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
    And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless
    But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
    Yeah I hit a wall, I prayed that I would make it through, make it through
    I can't survive a life that's without you, that's without you, yeah
    And I will rise up from the ashes now, the ashes now
    Oh, the sparrow flies with just the crumbs of loving spilled, yeah
    I was bracing for the pain and then I let it go
    I gathered all my strength and I found myself whole
    I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
    Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
    And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless
    But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

    • @guilbs88
      @guilbs88  8 лет назад

      Elida, it's pretty easy to learn! Chord scheme goes D major - B flat major - G minor (I think, haha). Only real variation to that is at the end of the chorus each time on the word "Sledgehammer" you could go up to C major instead of down to the G minor. I do that in this cover and it sounds like she does it in the song but either way sounds fine. Good luck!

      Stephen Guilbert You're absolutely welcome :)) How long have you been playing the piano? :D

    • @guilbs88
      @guilbs88  8 лет назад

      I've been playing since I was five. On/off in high school and college but got serious with it again towards the end of college. Do you play?

    • @adrianjurjevic3564
      @adrianjurjevic3564 8 лет назад

      Stephen Guilbert Hahah :D That kinda counts for me as well :3 I had one year of Keyboard-(sigh)-lessons in primary school, but I quitted it cuz, I really didn't care for this instrument back then :c ... I started with the piano then during november '13 cuz I really wanted to play some soundtracks from the Hunger Games :P Well.. since then I was taking it again more serious :3 I'm also sometimes uploading some stuff on yt just for fun :D Are you planning to study something with music in the future? :3

    • @guilbs88
      @guilbs88  8 лет назад

      Probably not...just continue with the piano and try to become a more diverse pianist.
      That's so cool that it was The Hunger Games that made you want to learn the piano. I have one cover of a song from The Hunger Games on my channel (Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift/The Civil Wars) and I loved playing it. What other songs did you want to learn?
