    I got sheets for this...but unfortunately, after those 5 years of playing the piano, I'm still not able to use the 5 hands I'd need for playing it.
    What a shame

    • @kimgriffin1983
      @kimgriffin1983 Před 7 lety

      In most of their songs you can hear a little Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Nivarna and more of you listen carefully. It's the type of music they grew up with and took inspiration from {I think}

  • @thanaleon818

  • @kaskalo2
    @kaskalo2 Před 10 lety +1

    Ever considered of doing some song from the doors? And perhaps some thats not already on youtube (as piano cover i mean)

    • @GregSkalakPiano
      @GregSkalakPiano  Před 10 lety +1

      If you could recommend a relatively well-known song of theirs I'd be happy to check it out :) But I can't promise anything since I'm generally pretty bad at requests haha

    • @kaskalo2
      @kaskalo2 Před 10 lety

      ***** Thanks for replying. First of all this was not a request :) I would never request anything since you dont know me :) It was just a question if you maybe had something in your plans. Though, I, as your subscriber and fan of piano and ofc fan of The Doors, would be delighted if I got an email saying you posted a song from The Doors :) Anyway, you could do any song even if its out there, some songs are just not performed that well. But for example I love "Hyacinth House", and there is only one version but with organ on keyboard, not piano, also not the best performance. Also "The End". Thats a famous song. There is one performer playing it on piano (some cover) and its really good, but I just think you would do it better :) Anyway Im your big fan, I already learned Sweet child of mine and Stairway to haven by watching your videos. Keep up the good work! Greetings from Serbia

    Play "The Pretender"
    on Amazon Music
    "The Pretender"
    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend
    Keep you in the dark
    And so it all began
    Send in your skeletons
    Sing as their bones go marching in... again
    They need you buried deep
    The secrets that you keep are at the ready
    Are you ready?
    I'm finished making sense
    Done pleading ignorance
    That whole defense
    Spinning infinity, boy
    The wheel is spinning me
    It's never-ending, never-ending
    Same old story
    [Chorus 2x:]
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    In time or so I'm told
    I'm just another soul for sale... oh, well
    The page is out of print
    We are not permanent
    We're temporary, temporary
    Same old story
    [Chorus 2x]
    I'm the voice inside your head
    You refuse to hear
    I'm the face that you have to face
    Mirrored in your stare
    I'm what's left, I'm what's right
    I'm the enemy
    I'm the hand that will take you down
    Bring you to your knees
    So who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Keep you in the dark
    You know they all pretend
    [Chorus 2x]
    [2x]
    What if I say I'm not like the others?
    Keep you in the dark
    What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
    You know they all... pretend
    You're the pretender
    What if I say I will never surrender?
    So who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?
    Yeah, who are you?

    ***** Mate, could you give me a more upside view of you playing the song? i would be happy to write the sheet for you, since i want to play this as well but the right hand isn't always as cleanly in view as i would like it to be :p

  • @coralista09
    @coralista09 Před 10 lety

    Amazing Cover! It captured the song /exactly/. Really, really amazing. Sorry to see that you're not transcribing your covers anymore, but LSAnonymous300 here on CZcams has transcribed and made midis for a lot of pianists on CZcams. Maybe check that out?
    Thanks!

    Played slower, then sped up. No left hand plays that fast
