- In this video I react to the song Cut My Fingers Off by Ethan Bortnick. A month ago I reacted to his song Engravings and many of the comments were asking me to react to this song, so here we are!
Looking for some help with the piano?

I love the fact that this is one of the craziest piano pieces I've heard and then you just look at and go "oh so it goes like this" and then play it perfectly keep it up man👍
Eh perfect? XD
Every RUclipsr has hours,days,ect. to analyze a song before they record, edit, post. A common misconception when it comes to RUclipsrs that make them look like they just figured out the song off the top.
@@THE-RED-LETTER-PROJECT I mean if you have absolute pitch its not that hard to play it right away if you are that capable on instrument there are lots of youtubers out there that have absolute pitch that plays right away after listening it one time.
Most people who don't really play piano see this and think it's a really complicated and crazy song, when in reality it's really not. It's actually really simple. It just looks hard to a non-pianist.
All he's doing is playing octaves with both hands, so that they overlap, and he's arpeggiating them. I was able to play the main melody after a minute of listening to it.
It's a typical case of something that seems hard when you look at it but really is simple. It does sounds pretty cool though when you add the digital effects, reverb, overlay tracks, and synths to the mix though.
How do we have the pfp
I feel like people often underestimate the beauty of simple melodies with the right composition.
man wtf
bro instantly figured it out
that’s some fucking skill
thats what im saying lol. I play piano and dang its hard
The bass keeps the tempo and then switches whenever he goes ham on the piano, overall fantastic song
True, but also not slot of piano artists like him bang on the piano like in "engravings" overall, its nice to hear even when he's smashing on the piano.
Alot I ment lol
First few notes he hears “It’s got a real simple melody, I like that.” precedes to play the entire song one handed while giving his review and finishing folding his laundry with the other.
Hahahaha i swear
now hide n seek.
Another great one by him is “Arsonists” it starts of calm and quiet then he goes ham on the piano at around 1 minute (and a bit before)
I absolutely love Ethan's music and its so cool to see you react to it!
Thanks to that last reaction video, I found your awesome channel! 🤍
his last hide n seek is crazy good
@matthew cawood 🔥🔥🔥 When I first heard the song, I expected a modulation up a step at the end. That “transition” within the key was cool too. I just wish I could play this to add what I hear in my head
I love these kind of analyse videos! Could you do some sort of tutorial too? I'd love to play this song...
dope video!
what i've thought about lately is, in my eyes its incredible to have perfect pitch and detect a note but i wonder how it works that you can listen to like a 20 second piece of all different notes, chords and the coresponding order of the notes and remember all of them.
Some say detecting a note is like "seeing a color and just knowing what color it is", but i doubt any person could see like 100 different colors in the same 20 seconds and know the order of the colors.
Just a thought, but maybe someone has got an answer to that :)
Nice comment
Dude is a beast. This is what music needed. He's a great artist and I love how you break them down for us. Keep it up. I'm a new sub and look forward to the next Brother.
Congrats on 20K subs!!!
Thank you! 🎉 it’s crazy!
OMG my comment was included! :D thanks for listening! 0:07
also i would love to see one of "Arsonist" :D Although defiantly a lot simpler than the last two from this guy
Nice 👍
Fantastic video!
You’re so talented. I hope one day I could be as good as you. I just need to practice more and get a better piano.
Thansk for breaking everything down like that greadt video !
one of my favorite songs to play and listen to
Fantastic channel!
Its amazing that you can just break it down and play it by ear
Nice. Haven't seen this music video yet. Loved his streaming on this song. Part of music video is very 007 James bondish. Ethan is talented AF. His arrangement and production value is on point. He's also like a human arpeggiator too. Such a unique sound in this crowded pop music culture. I think he will be huge soon.
I gotta learn how to play the piano like him
He is going to be huge. Massive
So metal!
This might be the toughest song I've heard in a long time!!
Me: How much syncopation do you want to add to this piece?
Bortnick: Yes
how he play without fingers 😂
but i respect him so much that boy is great👍🏼
I´ve played the piano since I was 6, and now im 14, it´s really INCREDIBLE AND INSANE how he can find the notes that are being played in the music, it´s soo sooo dificult! (I´m brasilian, so if I wrote anything incorrect, you can correct me!)
its probably perfect pitch ngl, ur a musician so u prob know what it is but its just inate talent, in an interview it was stated that ethan was able to copy a piece of mozard on a kids toy piano at the age of 3 just by listening to it on the show 'little einsteins' and that was what made his parent let him go to piano lessons , so without any pracist he could already do it
Loved ethan
I play guitar and the break down of the music theory is awesome.
Now there were 2 pianist known in thr history who has this type of theme..1st one is Maksim and now it's Ethan..love pianist who's doung twist kn theur genre
one of his newer songs wont let ya down :)
Now you have to do "deadly ever after"
They don't make Legends like Matt anymore
!
I know that so many people are telling you to react to The Nuker 4. But can you also react to the previous three Nukers as well?
My favourite Ethan Bortnick songs are arsonists, and happy f***ing birthday. Can you please react to either one of them?
Yesss happy f***ing birthday is awesome
gave me A7X and JT vibes 🤞🏽🔥
Would be amazing if you reacted to Tim Minchin Dark Side, think the awesome version where he just goes insane on the piano for a solid ten minutes
They do NOT make them like Matt anymore 🙌
Bro is the next Mozart
The rhythm’s tough ain’t it?!
Can you please react to Yanni, he does live concerts with orchestras. Im really interested in what you think about him.
May I request a reaction to Emily Bear's song "Emotions"?
She's also a piano prodigy who composes her own music for not only orchestras, but also in the pop realm.
"Emotions" has a jazzy edge I think you'll be intrigued by. (:
New subscriber! Thanks
How did you figure out the song that fast? Do you have perfect pitch like Ethan?
Because Ethan's songs are very basic & repetitive from an analytical standpoint. This piece is perhaps a bit more unusual with the split chords, not in the sense that it's complex, but that it's not something you see often, I guess? I thought it was either two fast chords or the computer repeating it for him. But the other song (forgot the name) is extremely basic. Just four regular arpeggios. There's nothing complex or difficult about this. It's stuff your average 5 to 6 year piano student plays & experiments with for fun.
@@SabatSch95 could of just said he was good but I mean it works
perfect pitch is actually really common among classical musicians who start studying music early in life
this video took my 11 years of piano and told it to fuck off, hhmmmmmm sounds like this plays entire piece
Could you look at hide n seek, its my fav out of all kf ethans songs
You should check out another one of his songs called "Arsonists"
What am I doing here at 3 am?
U should do his song "Arsonists" next
The first seconds sound like Polyphia
Can you do the last laugh by Ethan bortnick pls I have always wanted to learn that song
Should definitely check out "My Chicken's Symphony" by Igorrr
If you have not could you react to Steven universe songs
You could try his songs prom or arsonists
I would do Rush D 2 reaction
Pianist Reacts to Rush D 2 | by me
Try reacting to NHELV by Silentroom :)
could you react to hide and seek?
Yo react to deadly ever after by him too!
Can you react to deadly ever after
please do happy f***ing birthday :)
please do happy f***ing birthday by ethan bortnick
Listen to arsonists! It’s very different, it’s got a rock vibe, but it’s my personal favorite.
Please react to his other song arsonists, I'd say its the best out of the three
You should react to arsonists by Ethan
He made a new song called deadly ever after please react to it
Do arsonist pleaseeee
ВСе пояснил,но Итан поет ,ирает и его слушают,а эти объяснения нет
react to golden hour pls
This has Mexican / Spanish tones, Im sure I saw Frank Tedesco do this. here is the link and the time of 11 minutes 15 secs just so you dont have to watch the whole thing, Although I think he is brilliant. ruclips.net/video/ncPNNtqD4Nk/видео.html But hey Matt I enjoyed your deconstruct construct and ive subscribed, fantastic input with lots of musical information.
Question, do you also react to classical pieces? Maybe if you haven't already, I'll check after I comment if you did, can you do a video on Chopin's Polonaise? One of my favorites besides Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven
can you do arsonist
can you now do arsonist plssssss
Can you react to arsonists?❤
React to arsonists by him 👏
Day 6(I missed day 5) of asking for a reaction to the quarantine project 2:the second wave
Please react to arsonists u gotta
React to arsonist
But do you know boooogie woooogie?
im the first view lol
Nice work 😊
Satanic? Please explain.
Satanic is a bit extreme 😂 I was just using hyperbole to explain that he likes to write music that gives a more dark and twisted vibe
@Matthew Cawood i prefer those terms better. And i love how you broke down Ethan's composition of this song. From a non musical person who knows nothing about musical notes, i just love how this song was pieced back together. Gives me more of an appreciation for Ethan's genius talent. So, thank you
Lol satanic ?????
Right?! Like why that comparison.
If it doesn’t sound satanic it’s probably not cool?
Satanic? I don't hear anything Satanic at all. If Beethoven created dubstep it would be this. And if Kanye produced the vocals it would be this.
You've gotta comment on the visuals
Do you really think u r worthy to judge his music.
😂😂
Bro is the next Mozart
