    1:20 wheels in head are turning..seeking patterns...1:30 Neural chemicals turning into kinetic energy...2:00 Kinetic energy converted to sound energy... 2:30 "imperfect" effort generates embarrassment, rest of world stands agape. Fascinating to watch.

    Damn, I mean, I can play the Cantina song too, but I had to look the tabs up and learn it. She pulls it outta her ass in seconds and even adds a little "The Entertainer" like touch to it. Much Respect! We're not worthy!

    • @SeansPiano
      @SeansPiano Před 7 lety

      I tried to do that once, and it took me like an hour to figure out the melody for right hand... Do you have to be like super familiar with the piano theories and all that stuff to arrange by ear?

    • @LangKuoch
      @LangKuoch Před 7 lety +10

      Sean's Piano Hmm, not necessarily, but I do think you have to have a good foundation with your major/minor chords and chord progression.
      It's definitely not going to be easy the first couple of times you do it, but once you start playing by ear/transcribing on the spot more it becomes as easy as reading sheet music. Having a strong relative pitch will help you immensely (this will really help with figuring out melodies--it helps your ear strength!) and also, just knowing the song you're about to transcribe beforehand can help a lot.
      If I'm about to transcribe a song I've heard a trillion times on the radio, I've already subconsciously learned the chord progression and the melody, and it's much easier to try and replicate on the piano. If I haven't heard it at before, it's like learning something completely out of left field and it takes a bit more time to get it right.
      Hope that wasn't too much info. Cheers!

    • @valleyoftheheart
      @valleyoftheheart Před 7 lety +1

      It also helps if you have a natural tendency to recognize not just the pitch of each note, but how it fits with the other notes. Similar to perfect pitch, but more towards being able to hear how the notes harmonize and come together.

    This reminds me of the story of the piece "miserere mei deus" that was created exclusively for use in the Sistine Chapel. The story goes that a young Mozart heard it on a trip to Rome and wrote it down from memory. His version was so close to the original that he was praised by the pope at the time. Really beautiful piece.

I can promise you, not even 0.001% of the world population will be able to pull such things of, even after 20 years of practice. Further more you are only able to get the ability of perfect pitch in you first 18-24 month of your live
