    Hey Jonny, I am 21 years old and ive been teaching myself how to play piano when i was 14. By now I have the honour to perform every weekend infront of a couple hundred people. Still I watch your videos and wish to have just 10 % of your skill and knowledge of the piano and music in general. Ive been noticing for a while now, that my left hand is pretty weak compared to my right hand when it comes to speed and activity. But only since I watched your videos I've found the motivation to really train my left hand. Im studying and learning your despacite arrangement for a while now and training my left hand with it and its going great. I just wanna say, THANK YOU for being such an inspiration for me and thousands of other people here on youtube. You are a great pianist and a great teacher, keep on doing what you do and know that you affect alot of lives in a very positive way by doing it. Thanks and best regards from Germany.

    A true masterpiece. Keep coming back to this over and over again and would love to be able to play this some day. I'm sure many people would think that the arpeggios and runs in the right hand sound harder but the rhythm and jumps in the left hand make this piece extremely challenging. Would love if you found the time to make a tutorial for this piece one day. Feel like i would need to tap the rhythm out between hands without using notes in the beginning to really nail that syncopation . But yea, hats off to you Jonny, you have really out done yourself with this piece and I would hope to be, one day, as great as you are! Hats off to you, Sir.

    • @martinchristensen8090
      @martinchristensen8090 7 років тому +9

      The problem with Peter Bence's is its not a "playable" piano cover, he uses sound effect's, even with that i still like this more.

    • @김재욱-l1i
      @김재욱-l1i 6 років тому +2

      lol what do u mean its not a playable cover
      it is playable with the loop station and loop station technically does not change the "sound" being recorded.
      it just saves the sound and repeats it over and over again.
      its not that Peter Bence's cover is unplayable. it just requires loop station, or many people to play it in harmony

  • @chayanka_kaushik
    @chayanka_kaushik 7 років тому +658

    Totally different. I love those who play it in their own style. Awesome man. You're the real pianist not like those who simply put arpeggios and finish it . You've put a different n new feel to the song. Those who are criticising (whether good or bad) don't know the real taste of music. They are the type of people who like to eat food with the same ingredients in it. I think this cover is the best of all I found in UA-cam until yet. Cheers!
    Edit: It's been one year and I realise how rude I was in this comment. I want to change it but I want to keep it authentic. Anyway thanks for the likes.

    • @helenaville5939
      @helenaville5939 7 років тому +27

      +Chayanka. I like your comment. But I don't like when you insult the people who are criticizing and say "they don't know the real taste of music". That's not a good attitude and here's why. Because no piano player is perfect and I'm certain Jonny would be the first to accept he is not perfect (although he is an awesome player - in fact my favourite player on UA-cam!). So criticism is inevitable and should be seen as constructive. When people like you insult the critics for stating how they feel about Jonny's playing they may not post their critical comments as often as they do and we the learners would then be at a disadvantage because we learn an awful lot from the critical comments. And I bet Jonny learns from them too because feedback is probably the most valuable thing one can receive in order to nurture and grow a creative skill. So please, every person here is entitled to voice their opinion and it doesn't matter whether you agree with it or not, what matters is that they can feel free to do it without being insulted. It's a free world ..... let's keep it that way. I wish you well.

    • @chayanka_kaushik
      @chayanka_kaushik 7 років тому +14

      Helenaville Thank you for spending your valuable time in correcting me. I certainly shouldn't have put it that way. I understand people have their own opinions and just like that I gave my opinion too. I am sorry if it offended you and others. I didn't intend to do so.
      My best regards to you.

    Wow is all I can say to that. Since it’s 6 in the morning and I’m extremely sleepy and suffering from bad migraines , I was expecting to hear Desinfinado by Stan Getz, but was utterly surprised when he started playing this. I was about to turn it off cause it was not what I was expecting but I knew it’d be a sin to do, especially on a Sunday. This dude is a true magician on the keys. Magical to hear. I could listen to his covers all day long. Worst come to worst, I’d be entertained while I suffer in silence

I enjoyed this much more than watching Yuja Wang in person in SFO...the weekend of the US Open at Olympic.

    For me, this is the only version that shines like a beacon above the rest. Playing Despacito in such a way that it still has its rhythm and melody is extremely challenging for a solo piano player, therefore there are versions where great imagination will not help you and you have to read what you are listening to. This version is a balm not only for the ears but also for the eyes.. excellent...!!!👍

    Guy is truly an awesome pianist. Trying to play his version and man it’s hard. But slowly and steady. Not my usual style of play so a fun challenge

    This is great- it demonstrates the proper use of fast runs in composition. I couldn't ask for anything better.

    You are great pianist! I am pianist too, but I am teacher, now at home with my son 22 months old. We play this song too. You really inspire us to make new video! Thank you!!

      It maybe hard work but the annoying thing is that he makes it look so easy and effortless.

    Great octaves and arpeggios. Amazing stamina and technique. On a side note, I’ve never a Yamaha with a cup/candle holder?!
