  • In this video I attempt to work out the top 10 most iconic songs by ear in just 30 minutes. This list was put together by FreeYourMusic and they compiled a list of the top 50 most iconic songs based on science.
    If you think there should have been some other songs in the top 10, then let me know and maybe il do those in a future video!

    Next video play by ear to Indian songs challenge

      I reckon I could have a good go, Indian music uses different scales and some microtonality though so it may be tough on a piano! 😊

    Very nice! I found your channel quite lately, this is maybe 4th or 5th video I saw and I admit you are extremely good teacher/narrator. I also try to learn playing many songs by ear and it was fascinating for me to see that I have almost identical approach. But my skills and knowledge are different story... I spend an hour to learn verse/chorus and another 50 hours to combine everything with chords. :) Definitely will check this channel more often from now on. New subscriber.

    I like to hear you work out Film scores. Cornfield Chase, Chevaliers De Sangreal, Time, One day all by Hans Zimmer. Flying my James Newton Howard, Duel of the fates John Williams, The Knight King , Light of the Seven by Ramin Djawadi. Riders of Rohan, Bridge of Khazad Dum Howard Shore. My Name is Lincoln by Steve Jablonsky and maybe the batman theme by Danny Elfman
    Id like to hear your take on them with just a piano

    Tori Amos did a piano cover of smells like teen spirit. You’d probably enjoy listening to her version now.

    Maybe a song by a female musician would've been nice.
    Your skill is amazing Matthew! I love watching you play! It didn't even look like your fingers are pressing down on the keys. I can't wait for the day my hands look like that when I'm playing 😂

      @matticawood  4 місяці тому +3

      That’s an interesting observation! I wonder why the list didn’t have any in the top ten, there are plenty of artists and songs I can think of that could have made it in there 😊

    Tell me how to play by ear, please.
    I'm sure you're asking yourself now, "Why should I teach this loser how to play by ear?"
    But hold on and listen. My life is challenging:
    I have chronic pain, kind of struggle with depression and negative thoughts.
    Whenever I play the piano (even though I'm not good at it), I feel free from my problems.
    So, in some way, you could make my life more bearable.
    Thank you so much
