@@b0unce805 Been hearing that for nearly 40 years now, and it infuriates me just as much now as the first time I heard it. I never understood it, because I show anyone anything they ask about, but I can count the number of times someone "showed me that" on one hand. Sigh!
@@romimusic YES! I hate, hate HATE it SO MUCH! And it's always somebody who can play like 100% better than you who says it. I just want to hit them in the face with one of those big, heavy piano-styled foot pedals everytime I hear it (just kidding, love all people).
I genuinely cannot ever remember what I've played before, so I guess I do this all the time. People will be like "What'd you play?" And I'll just respond, "What did I play?"
I'm glad this guy acknowledged this! I've experienced this in my youth and now I don' care for arrogant church musicians, I don't even listen to church music! This guy is the real deal!
Those days are over with..The season of SMS is coming to an end. The STINGY MUSICIAN SYNDROME. Thank God for Sean Wilson, Alan Melville , Quenell Gaskins and others. Man even Glenn Gibson is throwing ibis hat into the ring for educational DVD’s. God is good..
Lol one of my mentors was like this for years until he got tired of me asking and looking over his shoulder; I was 12 then. I still use his moves to date, but only on old school praise and worship. He ain’t want nobody learning his style even a kid 😂
I don't know, sometimes introverted pianists can muster the strength to block the crowd out enough to perform, but get anxiety/ don't feel comfortable with teaching one-on-one. Especially if they only play by ear and can't read sheets. This situation is clearly someone choosing to perform for a congregation and avoiding sharing their tricks, which is kind of selfish if the person asking genuinely wants to learn.
@@bobkendomowitz9534 correct. but you also shouldn't feel guilty about politely declining a lesson when ambushed for one if you don't have the ability to read and play sheet music in-time and have decent communicative skills. I have neurodivergence and a stutter, so I can play by ear easily, can read sheets, but can't read sheets and play in-time. I would feel uneasy showing someone something on piano knowing I'm probably giving them wrong information or wrong technique, plus they have to trundle through me stuttering which nobody wants.
If you want to learn a lick it’s easier than ever to record it and take it home and slow it down. People acting like reading sheet music is how music got done for most of history.
Anytime anyone ever asked me how I did something on piano, I would show them. And if they wanted to learn it, I would try to teach them. Most people would give up anyway as they didn’t want to put the time and effort into it. But when someone got it, it would actually make me proud. Especially now that I’m getting older I want to pass on what I know to the younger generation. That way when I am gone, it will still live on in them.
The accuracy lol. I’m a guitarist and can dabble a little on the keyz, but always wished I could play better on the latter. I have asked keyz players similar questions on runs or theory and I get the same play dumb treatment lol. I’ve never understood why. As a musician, I love showing, teaching and learning
They might do it because in all honesty they don't feel like teaching in that moment and going through the trouble of trying to break down the theory for you
@@kennyr1161 So then they should be honest and say that then.. I mean c'mon its not that serious.. Boy I tell you, Selfish, Pride and Arrogance, such a shame..smh
@@evinmiller3204 Idk if its from all those qualities you just listed. Either way they're gonna be put in a negative light. If they you straight upfront "man I'm sorry I'm kinda tired right" its likely they could still be perceived to hold those qualities you listed.
@@kennyr1161 I understand what you mean but I can only speak for myself.. I play keys and for me, I would be willing to show anyone intrigued in learning anything I could have done on keys.. I mean how is one suppose to be taught with no one willing to teach? Sorry for the passion, it's just really disheartening and that type behavior has always bothered me since a young boy growing up. I just would never do that to anyone trying to learn is all.
@@evinmiller3204 No I understand, I myself have never turned anyone away who wants to learn from me or has questions. I just also understand how tiring it can be explaining stuff to people depending on their skill level and knowledge. Also somethings are better through self discovery than being told to be honest. I try to label people really quickly.
Man your vídeos are really funny hahaha. But i Wonder If oneday you could gives us a musical tips especially when It comes to Harmony. From Brazil,God bless u!
Lol years later and this awesome bro hit me so hard ... Now they ask me and I tell them I'm really not doing anything.... Cause I've done it a million times but I so know some great organ players when I was learning doing this...
Yeah well Seal doesn't even want to admit what he sang in Kiss From A Rose!!! What did you sing there Seal? "Oh just whatever you think I sang!" Was it Grey or Grave? "What did you hear?"
Oh man I've seen a guy cover his hand up with his other hand while playing haha. Or, what about the guys who want to show *everything* on their social media? "hol up hol up, lemme set up my iPhone tripod first then I'm ready"
Don't forget the classic "Sorry, I don't have the sheets" while the sheets are infront of the player in the vid. Or a Synthesia vid where they don't have the midi either XD
I’ve had someone hit a chord voicing in rehearsal and when I said hey what chord was that they caught amnesia….lol I was young then but realized that just like this video is showing us some musicians feel insecure or threatened and keep knowledge but I’m grateful for UA-cam so you can rewind and learn or even musicians who are patient and show you what they played….I always pass on knowledge because I don’t like that done to me…funny video…his elbow will hurt if he perform the same move twice..lol
Hahah so true and hilarious! However I do believe paying for a lesson could be the best way to approach it. Which I know Kevon speaks about in another video. The musician spent time and effort learning their craft so it’s an unfair expectation to have share on the spot. Those who don’t understand that will always behind the curve in just about everything in life.
Just like the old masters ask a question they play you an answer and that's it no explaining or slowing down nothing. Their attitude was if you heard it then you got all you need.
I'm kind of like this but for completely different reasons. I'm so terribly bad at explaining what I'm doing exactly half the time. The best I can do is just play it again and hope you figured it out just watching and listening lmao.
That's the truth tho. I'm a bass player and a lot of times after church service people will approach me and ask me to tell them "what notes I played in that run?" and I swear on my grandmother's grave that a lot of times, I really don't remember what they're talkin about. 😕
The opposite is funny too, when they're like "ah yes well that was a riff in B major but I pivoted on that D hyper-augmented flat-9 arpeggio and ended with the Giant Steps solo but played it in 7/69 swing time so it has that *feel*."
“You have perfect pitch?”
“Yes I do” 😂😂
This one took me OUT!
has perfect pitch but doesn't know that he played 👍
if you play keyboards you can often tell visually
Some musicians envy others that have perfect pitch.
It's all about the King. Except for this riff. That one's mine. 😆
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
"I ain't showing you nothing, it's the only move I got" 💯😌
XD
It be like that lol
"I can't play it slow".... Tell da truth and shame the devil😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
😆👏
😂
Musicians hold on tight to their signature moves😆😅🤣
Can you show me what you did?
Huh!?
“You have prefect pitch?”…. Not the elbow 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
The accuracy is astronomical 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 maybe beyond astronomical even😭😭
🤣🤣🤣🤣
How i missed you sir.

My favorite line is:
"You got it, doc!"
If I had it, I wouldn't have asked you to show it to me!

What about the guy who says "oh I was improvising I forgot" 😂

That would be me....not remembering how I did played it LOL 🤣
😂😂😂😂 not the elbow surgery
Im weak
Meanwhile plays masterpiece

no pianist should feel comfortable teaching (and even be teaching in the first place) if they can't read sheet music
@@bobkendomowitz9534 You can play and teach without reading sheet music.

You have skills My Brother! Keep up the awesome work 💯
My elbow lol I'm weak 🤣😂
“Im just a vessel” some of the stuff we say in church😂😂😂
The worst ones are the musicians who wont help the less experienced musicians during the service.
That's when you get on the organ and play awful and refuse to get up...just play loud and awful......Im just kidding 😂...but am I? 😳
During the service? What do you mean? There's no time for lessons in the middle of praise and worship.
Lol years later and this awesome bro hit me so hard ... Now they ask me and I tell them I'm really not doing anything.... Cause I've done it a million times but I so know some great organ players when I was learning doing this...

More than twice might affect my Surgery on elbow .. oh man that was the funniest 😂
Oh man I've seen a guy cover his hand up with his other hand while playing haha. Or, what about the guys who want to show *everything* on their social media? "hol up hol up, lemme set up my iPhone tripod first then I'm ready"
💀 “that’s the only move I got”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bruh that statement at the end is me!!! I only have a few moves I just mastered them in every key!!! 😂😂😂😂
It really be like that out here. Don’t be so stingy doc, share with us young bloods😂
That is literally me I don't like to show them how I play it 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
“If I do that move more than twice”😂😂
...won't give it up (for the kingdom)🙄
Lol😂👍kingdom indeed
Lol elbow injuries from playing piano? Ima start using that
You forgot the "oh I forgot what I played, I was improvising man" 😂
Hello Kevon..
Nice playing keyboard.
I'm from Indonesia 🙏🙏
So true Bro. 🎹🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎹 If I use the PIANO EMOJI more than two times, I have to have that surgery too. 🚑 🤕🩹
If the other dude has perfect pitch, he wouldn't need to ask 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you!
Don't forget the classic "Sorry, I don't have the sheets" while the sheets are infront of the player in the vid.

Mr. Kevon,, this is you😂😂 I hope you’re convicted...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol what me and my cousins say is , "naw, we keep that in the family." LOL!
I honestly seldom pay close enough attention to what I’m playing to even think about remember.
You almost got me until the elbow thing hahaja
I know a guy who wasn’t like that who helped take my playing to another level.
Great shirt bro. Praise God 🙏🔥
You have perfect pitch..YES I DO🤣
“That’s the only move I got”😂😂😂😂
Or the ones that all of a sudden can't hear you anymore :)
i have perfect pitch 😂like fr i stay telling them they keys at church
This is literally how it is😂🤝💯
The elbow part killed me lolol

"He like to pour at the people"😆
"You see, if I do that move more than twice I might pull my elbow"
Honestly, I’d like to learn that move just so I can pretend I can play piano really well and then come up with excuses when they wanna hear more.
aint no need for all them excuses...if someone ask you to show you what they played...YOU SAY NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
Not risk injuring the elbow 😂😂😂😂
I am a church organist and I have showed plenty of chords. Everything belongs to GOD
Let your own cup be filled, so you don't run empty like this fool.
