Another sleepless night I find myself listening to your music. You've grown so much as a musician. I understand exactly why you want to take your time with your album, I'm the same way with my artwork. Take your time, I'll still be your first buyer regardless (:
Woah! I just stumbled upon your music and your playing is freaking amazing! I love what was done with this song. I'll definitely be listening to more of you! ♡
This is such an amazing cover! And a really interesting arrangement. I haven't listened to nearly enough Rachmaninoff. And I would definitely love to hear a Q&A at some point!
Mad skills! Maybe not quite on par with Mr. Manchmanioff, but he will be proud, young talented musicians are inspired with his music. Great job! Loved it :)
I know how to play piano but boy Ur awesome!! Do you do any stretching on Ur hands and fingers or have a practice tichnique to play good and fast and hit every note?
This absolutely amazing! I didn't think you could capture both Rachmaninoff and This is Halloween in the same song, but you did! As for your songs: for covers in particular, do you prefer using a keyboard or a real piano?
Thank you! At home I prefer my keyboard as my upright piano has a ridiculously heavy touch and the room is far too small for an acoustic piano, but based on the few occasions I've been able to try grand pianos they have felt pretty much optimal
Another amazing video, just don't care some people's criticism, I saw lots of your videos and I know that you are good enough to play it that time. Anyway, I find a good idea to make a Q&A.
Berryturtle I finished filming by the time it started, it delayed my uploading because I figured with the house shaking from the lightning being so close, having my computer on probably wouldn't be the best idea :P
It makes me smile to read comments like "it has been speeded up" because their envy is eating them up, otherwise, why would they say that? Don't waste your time arguing with them! I watched your video, and it was the first time I watched one of yours, and my first response was more like "ok It's really awesome" I am sorry for my english, I am french and still learning!
Haha no I think they genuinely do think it's sped up, so I just find it funny and not insulting at all :) Thanks for your comment, and your English was perfect here!
This is metal af. Seriously dark, imposing, and impressive. I'm full on head banging 0:17 to 0:21 and 1:18 to 1:23. Do you still have this sheet laying around? Not that I'm able to play it yet but hey I can try haha
If you can call showing up to half-hour lessons each week, skimping on the technical work and cram practicing in the two weeks before exams "training" :) I took lessons up to grade 8, I had great teachers but unfortunately their tastes in pieces/composers were completely different to my own. Of course, I didn't realise that at the time and instead just figured I disliked all classical music! I stumbled across a Chopin piece not long after I stopped having lessons and that's where my attitude towards classical music changed completely. So to answer your question, bit of both I guess :)
Why do people keep saying this is sped up? If you actually pay attention to the video, you can tell that it is not. Also, if you actually watched any of Greg's other videos, you would know that he is an amazing player and not accuse him of speeding up his videos. By the way, great job on this cover, and I would love to see and Q&A! :)
Hehe, when I myself know that the video isn't sped up, it's hard not to take such comments as compliments :) By the way, there's now a link in the description to a blog post I just wrote, you may be interested in the last two paragraphs which are about my album (I recall your username haha)
***** Thanks for replying! :) I can't believe that you remember me haha And yes, I can see how you can take it as a compliment. I wish I could play as well as you! I just got to keep practicing. I'll take a look at the blog post, thanks! :) Have a nice day!
Amazing Wonderful Extravagant Sounding Great Ominous (cause like halloween) Musical Extravagant (again) I hate the comments that are like Sped up! Its clearly NOT. Just watch it. When people do that it just gets me soooo mad. To you people who do that, sucks to suck cause he be like "Oh thank you!" Cause he knows he is such a good player that if people truly think its sped up, its a compliment. Dude, you play so good. Like seriously, how do you NOT have like 100000000000000000000000000000000000 subs? Dude if you got that much, you would totally deserve like 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 more than that. Keep playing, man. Keep playing.
i follow you since a long time, and i always love your cover, this one is great, we can feel the strange feelings from the movie. i'd be so happy if a day, in the futur, you make a cover of "comme elle vient" a really great french song from "noir desir" !!! can you pls if you have the ime, at least answer my question ?
I can't do requests at all since each cover takes at least a few weeks for me, and even longer if I don't already know the song, sorry! But thank you watching and for your comment :)
Holy freaking crap. That was insane. And totally awesome.
Haha thanks!
The fluidity of those fingers, though! Amazing. :D
Another sleepless night I find myself listening to your music. You've grown so much as a musician. I understand exactly why you want to take your time with your album, I'm the same way with my artwork.
Take your time, I'll still be your first buyer regardless (:
Thank you :')
And yes please do a Q&A, I'd love to get to know you already (:
Okay but doing modern music in the style of classical composers is such a freaking great idea, that would make an amazing video series
Complexly fantastic :) the little electric orb thing was a nice touch too
I've been on a Rachmaninoff kick lately and found this. Let me just say that I am obsessed with this video! Coolest cover I've ever heard!
Woah! I just stumbled upon your music and your playing is freaking amazing! I love what was done with this song. I'll definitely be listening to more of you! ♡
Oh come on, Rachmaninov is long gone. Nothing wrong with having a little fun there. Nice one, I enjoyed it!
It would be awesome to know more about you Greg, and your musical world in a future Q.A video!! :)
Keep up the great work!
This is awesome.
beast! what a great performance
This is pretty great
I am in total aww right now that is amazing
Wow that's awesome
This is such an amazing cover! And a really interesting arrangement. I haven't listened to nearly enough Rachmaninoff. And I would definitely love to hear a Q&A at some point!
Thank you! To be honest neither have I, Moment Musicaux no.4 and Etude Tableaux op. 39 no. 4 are a couple of gems that I've only recently discovered
That was amazing
yes! do a q & a!!
... You got mad skills dude 0_0
Mad skills! Maybe not quite on par with Mr. Manchmanioff, but he will be proud, young talented musicians are inspired with his music. Great job! Loved it :)
Thank you! :)
The Halloween Town feels. btw do a Q&A haha
I know how to play piano but boy Ur awesome!! Do you do any stretching on Ur hands and fingers or have a practice tichnique to play good and fast and hit every note?
awesome job man,I loved the arrangement! it brought me back to Tim Burton's world :P
Haha, it brought me back to Square Enix's world ^_^
different perspectives :P
Weird... but this is the best piano cover of the song
This absolutely amazing! I didn't think you could capture both Rachmaninoff and This is Halloween in the same song, but you did!

Thank you!
Você toca muito bem!!!
Thank you!
Longest description I've ever read. Haha YESHHH Q&A ... The video wouldn't have been the same without that glowing ball
Hahaha, hey you can vouch for the legitimacy of the thunderstorm!
Indeed, but why didn't you keep filming during the thunderstorm? It could have added to teh "spooky-ness" of your video
Berryturtle I finished filming by the time it started, it delayed my uploading because I figured with the house shaking from the lightning being so close, having my computer on probably wouldn't be the best idea :P
hahah ohh, them youtuber struggles

Also, did you receive classical training in particular or did you teach yourself?
You're really good! I just wanna know if you're self-taught!

what's that ball thing on top of the piano?
You're amazing. That is all.

It isn’t really isn’t fit for a maximal style like that
