Hello, welcome! I think you're great. You're a good person with strong moral fibre and you really know how to make others round you feel special.
This channel is about me playing some of my favourite tunes in an approximate manner-not quite perfect and not necessarily in the right key either. Enjoy but please don’t bug me about inaccurate, sloppy musicianship because (a) I already know, and (b) that’s what this channel is, sort of, about. There are plenty of other musicians out there on UA-cam for you to ogle. I usually just play by ear.
Gear: Yamaha NU1X hybrid piano. Canon EOS 200D camera. Fender Stratocaster. iRig 2. Cables. SD cards. String. Toilet roll tubes. Sticky-backed plastic. Pipe cleaners. A piece of old cloth. Elbow grease.
YOUR SUPPORT: Want to support me? I don't like the idea of you supporting me without getting anything in return so please listen and buy one my albums - you pay as much or as little as you wish!
Cheers,
Aprx 2020

I wrote a Disney-style tune which is amazing. Or did I? APPROXIMATIONS
Hi,
I wrote a tune - I think it's original but can't be sure. Do you recognise it?
Please let me know in the comments!
It's an instrumental balled in G major. I haven't gotten round to writing lyrics to it yet, nor would I really know what it should be about. But as an instrumental it's lovely.
Thanks for watching and, only if you want to, consider subscribing.
Love, your pal,

I don't claim any copyright or anything and realise that I'm being a bit naughty for playing someone else's tune on my channel but let me tell you that (i) I do this purely for fun and educational purposes, (ii) I don't make any money from this channel, and (iii) UA-cam has a clever way of identifying copy-written music and ensuring that any advertising revenues go straight to the copyright owner, not me. So, if anything, I'm helping out the artist.

I don’t make a penny from this channel (nor should I really, as I’m playing covers of other artists’ music without their permission!) but if you want to support me and keep me motivated to produce more approximations, please check out my original music on Bandcamp - APRX music. I made 5 solo albums when I was younger - poppy rock stuff. If you love what you hear, do feel free to purchase one of my albums for whatever price you wish! I thank you.

Blue Shadows On The Trail cover ***Approximately***
Переглядів 6910 місяців тому
How do, partner? Wherever there is injustice, you will find us. Wherever there is suffering, we'll be there. Wherever liberty is threatened, you will find...the Three Amigos! This is me singing and playing 'Blue Shadows On The Trail', written by Randy Newman. It's a song from 'The Three Amigos', a 1986 comedy film starring Chevy Chase, Steve Martin and Martin Short. I would watch it when I was ...
Around The World [East 17] Piano Cover ***Approximation***
Переглядів 102Рік тому
Boom, boom, boom, let me hear you say "way-oh'... I'm waiting... Come on! Miserable. Wello there! Here is a quick Christmas-time vid of me approximating 'Around The World' by the UK boyband East 17, all the way from the halcyon days of 1994, when I were just a wee nipper whose voice was breaking. I should first say that this video is NOT a parody - my channel is never about parodying or making ...
Disappear [Louis Cole] Piano Cover ***Approximation***
Переглядів 355Рік тому
Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga! Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga! Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga! Hello lads and lasses - this one is my approximation of 'Disappear' by Louis Cole, of his 2022 album 'Quality Over Opinion'. It's my favourite tune off the album and has some really interesting chords in it, which is why I pulled it apart, inspected its innards, then recreated it (Frankenstein-like) for you, dear viewer. I'm a bi...
Put It On The Side! (Original Song)

G'day, you beauties! Oh, actually, I'm English....we don't really say "G'day" but hey, I felt like it this morning and frankly, who gives a lemon? I'm sure you absolutely don't, dear viewer. Here's a song called 'Put In On The Side!' which I wrote when I was around 22. I wrote and recorded it in about 3 hours, which is incredibly quick. It just spewed forth one day, almost as if I don't know wh...

Hit Send! Original song
Переглядів 119Рік тому
I write songs, in between everything else I have to do in life. In fact, I've always written songs. Here's an original song I wrote: 'Hit Send!', copyright me, 2023. Hope you like it. I've got another video which explains how I wrote it, some of the inspiration and what it's all about. If you don't like it, that's absolutely fine! Thanks - peace and love, Aprx

Can you dig it? Caaaan yoooouuuuu digggg itttttt? W'ello crew. This is another video wherein I approximate a song I like. This time's 'Jitterbug Boy' by the mighty Tom Waits. It's a fantastic drunken ballad about a man winding tales about his life. It's a piano cover with a bit of distorted electric guitar at the end to pick out the melody and give it some slurred/bended expression. My videos a...
In The Bleak Midwinter [Harold Darke version] piano arrangement ≈≈≈Approximation≈≈≈
Переглядів 1762 роки тому
Bilbo Baggins! Butros Butros Golly... This is an approximation of 'In The Bleak Midwinter' by Harold Darke. It's quite hard to play and the harmony is complex, given it was written for a choir (it's a famous choral piece, in case you didn't know). I've just done a simple arrangement and tried to pull out the main chord tones in the voicings and also play the melody line at the same time. I prob...

Hi chaps and chapesses. Thanks for clicking. I appreciate your click! This is an approximation of 'I'm Not In Love' by 10cc, a pop ballad with a heartbeat from 1975. Pretty nice song in my opinion.

On the half shell they're the heroes four. In this day and age who could ask for more? The crime wave is high with mugging mysterious. All police and detectives are furious 'cause they can't find the source of this lethally evil force. This is serious so give me a quarter. I was a witness. Get me a reporter. Call April O'Neil in on this case eh. You better hurry up. There's no time to waste. We...
