      I’m glad you enjoy it 😊
      I’m generally listening for the bass notes, then I can deduce the scale and chords that the song is using from those bass notes quite quickly…the melodies then usually use notes from the chord notes (or notes surrounding them). So the result sounds similar to the original, but it all comes from a little bit of music theory and practice 😊

    5:20 The piano sound comes from another device. This electric piano is from Costzon (88-Key Digital Piano, Portable Electric). And the car siren is also added in in post. You can also hear that there is a side chain compressor on it. There also is missing the pedal (because there is no cable). That is not improvised at all. It's staged but sounds and looks cool :D

    • @matticawood
      @matticawood  2 місяці тому +8

      Yeah, I noticed that it sounded heavily compressed and either has a lot of low end EQ or an added bass underneath. I assumed that he may have either recorded the midi before, or edited it afterwards 😊

  • @RyanBentz
    @RyanBentz 2 місяці тому +28

    So something about Tony Ann. He records the audio and then records a video of him playing on a keyboard afterward. That's why you see no cord coming from his piano and why there are times when you aren't hearing exactly what he's "playing". Regardless, he is still a great player. I just wish he recorded everything simultaneously. But after all, it's just for aesthetic purposes.

    What amazes me most about these videos is how well Matthew can figure out chords and keys by ear and then reproduce the piece he just listened to by ear. I hope to be able to do this one day, but I don’t really know where to begin in learning this skill even though I have been playing piano for a couple years.

    • @FrailSerenity
      @FrailSerenity 2 місяці тому +1

      I feel like this. It's so impressive to be able to just pick out notes from what seems like such an intricate piece. Despite trying to learn for a couple years now, it would've taken me a great while just to figure out a couple notes from this, nevermind the whole thing. Matthew continues to amaze me!

    • @matticawood
      @matticawood  2 місяці тому +2

      I’m glad you enjoy my videos 😊
      Try hearing the bass notes that are at the bottom of the chords…these notes can help you narrow down which scale the song is possibly using..then when you know the scale that narrows down the the 7 triads the song will likely be using…and when you know the triads, the melody is usually mostly using notes from the triads as well.
      It’s kind of a process that (once you’ve practiced it enough) becomes pretty quick 😊

    As a guitar player, my left hand does everything, and my right hand simply follows along, picking, plucking, or strumming, as needed. I don't even think about it much, if at all. It just knows what to do.
    One would think that on a piano, these things would be similar, but they are not even close. I feel like a complete newbie, My left hand has no idea where it is going next, while my right hand has all of the power, and way too many options.
    This is hard!
    But when I get to the point where I can play basic chord patterns, comfortably, with both hands, I am never going to stop expanding from there.
