Find a teacher first thing. The teacher is the most valuable asset you'll have. The teacher will start you out with whatever books you need and will monitor your progress. Your enthusiasm and patience will determine how fast you progress.
To my Ronald Jenkees fans: There is a single RUclips playlist which contains all of my Jenkees covers, accessible from my home page. So far it contains this song plus Disorganized Fun, Throwing Fire & Red Lemonade Remixed.
Do you offer MP3/OGG/FLAC/anything downloads of the other Ronald Jenkees covers? I snatched up the download for Stay Crunchy (I like the "Stay Twinkly" moniker given below) in two seconds flat. I'm a huge fan of Ronald Jenkees (bought (at that time) both albums as soon as I heard Stay Crunchy for the first time), and it translates very well into straight piano music -- but then, RJ's work is all about jamming directly on the keyboard, so there's no wonder about that. =) [edited] All right, found your covers of Red Lemonade Remixed (would that be Red Lemonade Remixed Squared?) and Throwing Fire on SoundCloud, but haven't been able to find Disorganised Fun... =)
You're an incredible musician, and you do Ronald Jenkees justice. That was breathtaking. And his melodies sound incredibly nice in the classical tones, they really lend themselves to the sound. Seems like if Master Jenkees had been born a few centuries too early, he'd be able to make a living as a classical composer rather than a modern synth composer.
I know there are several comments I haven't replied to, but the layout is very confusing to me and I can't tell who I've answered and who I haven't. Just know that I appreciate everybody's feedback on this video. I also appreciate all the likes :)
I have to admit, converting this to classical format didn't sound that appealing to me, but I was in a generous mood and wanted to see how others covered RJ's song and I am glad I did. This was great, once I hit the 50% mark of video, I thoroughly was enjoyed it. At 1:29 I was awed. Nothing could replace Ronald's version and creativity, but much respect for your interpretation.
This is beautiful. The original is amazing also. I have always dreamed of playing the keyboard but cannot due to severe carple tunnel in my hands. Keep up your great work.
A wide smile parts my face and butterfly inducing vertigo stirs my stomach when I hear the fevered melody of another awesome Jenkee's tune banged out with breathless beauty by BearKeys. Thank you.
I appreciate that! I am thankful, however, for everyone who has checked me out. And Ronald Jenkees, the composer of this song, has been majorly helpful with getting me some exposure :)
You made me cry with that song. You made it beautiful. It is just that. You transformed Ronald (a legendary composer) into something memorable for the ages. Thank you.
...OK, I give up! LOL! Seing how u jump your hand across entire tab back and forth, and switch keys so fast without slipping off the black keys... I could only dream of doing so! And not a single mistake! Super duper!
This was a pleasure to listen to. I didn't think Ronald's version could sound better but you definitely proved me wrong. I'm looking forward to hear what you create in the future!
Okay, let me just take the time to say that this is my inspiration for almost everything! Got a big test tomorrow? Watch this video and get inspired! It's hard to explain why but nothing seems nearly as hard as this and that's why it motivates me to do whatever I was about to postpone. Thank you.
And thank you for such a positive comment! That really makes me feel like I'm being useful, when someone else is motivated by it. I am mega thankful for all the people who have taken time to watch my vids, and owe RJ a serious debt of gratitude for bringing people's attention to my music. Thanks again!
It's crazy that it sounds the same, but completely different when in classical. Ronald is a great musician, being able to produce truly melodic melodies, that trancend singular forms as many songs do. Wild.
Thanks to all of you for the overwhelmingly positive response to this video. I appreciate it big time!
Thanks for the awesome rendition! I've listened to this song more than I care to remember, its so good.
You are very welcome.
I'd say this is a worthy interpretation.
Stay Twinkly
Thanks! These are major fun.
i still watch this at least once a week
Jaw dropping, Jenkees is in a league of his own when it comes to composition but this is a fantastic arrangement, great stuff, I'm hitting replay.
Thanks everyone for 20,000 views! Nothing like the release of a brand new Jenks video to spark some interest in my covers, so thanks to RJ too :)
Find a teacher first thing. The teacher is the most valuable asset you'll have. The teacher will start you out with whatever books you need and will monitor your progress. Your enthusiasm and patience will determine how fast you progress.
Unless you're Ronald Jenkees who said no to teachers because he wanted to jam :P
You way deserve more.
This is beautiful. And kind to Ronald's work. Thank you.
This is absolutely incredible...I love Jenkees and didn't think anyone could ever cover him like this. Subbed.
Thank you! I really appreciate that! His stuff is too much fun to play.

Yeah, I forgot to get Disorganized Fun on to SoundCloud. That should probably be my next project.
Absolutely gorgeous!
This made me almost cry, awesome piece of music, you both... bowing from Russia
its people like you who make this world wonderful to be in.
the cascading starting at 2:00 is pure awesome

That's fantastic speed and accuracy, you've taken that song and literally added another 10 notes per second! Fantastic!
I never thought sound like that possible using classical piano. Great talent.
Omg. Insanely magical.
What a beautiful rendition. Much love and respect and love from India.
One of my favorite songs. Excellent performance!
That my friend was amazing
Oh wow, so good, delightful and wanting!! Such talent wish I were there watching it.
Breathtaking!!! Beautiful rendition!
It gave me Goosebumps and a little tear!
Thank you so much! Music has the power to do these things. It's one of the amazing things about it.
BRAVO, BRAVO! Hearing it like this, one may think it is piano piece from one of the old great composers.
This is beautiful. The original is amazing also. I have always dreamed of playing the keyboard but cannot due to severe carple tunnel in my hands. Keep up your great work.
This is done from another dimension.... I wish I was there to see it live...
One word: Virtuoso.
This is truly amazing.
Wow. Incredible.
A wide smile parts my face and butterfly inducing vertigo stirs my stomach when I hear the fevered melody of another awesome Jenkee's tune banged out with breathless beauty by BearKeys. Thank you.
Now that's a descriptive comment ... Thanks!
You are highly underrated in so many ways.
I appreciate that! I am thankful, however, for everyone who has checked me out. And Ronald Jenkees, the composer of this song, has been majorly helpful with getting me some exposure :)
That was the best cover for any song I have ever heard
Should have seen the look on my face when I saw this in my feed... as always, I will never be disappointed. Absolutely fantastic

I'm equally sad and elated, that I've only now found this cover.

I don't know what's better, the cover or your shirt. well done!
That was amazing!
You made me cry with that song.
You made it beautiful.
It is just that. You transformed Ronald (a legendary composer) into something memorable for the ages.
Thank you.
Also, not sure if you know this but he added this to his favorites ;)

That's quite alright. I don't know offhand how many requests I got to do this one, but I'd actually been working on this song for quite some time.
This was a pleasure to listen to. I didn't think Ronald's version could sound better but you definitely proved me wrong. I'm looking forward to hear what you create in the future!

Another wonderful Jenkees song played beautifully. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank you very much! I have all the Jenkees covers in a separate playlist. So far there are 4 videos.

YES. I knew you were looking out for me!
I try to look out for my friends :D
That was really awesome. Thank you!
Really a wonderful rendition! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for listening/watching/commenting!

Absolutely amazing. My favorite cover ever.
What a great piece! Bravo
