Some people can carry on a conversation while they're playing. With me, you either get a cohesive musical phrase or a cohesive strung-together sentence, but never both.
I went to a steakhouse in Kansas City where they had a jazz trio playing all night. They were super loud, you couldn't even hear the person sitting next to you. Easily one of the best restaurant experiences I've had.
@@dondavir6658 I don't think so, he doesn't look familiar. The pianist when I was there was pretty young. It was about two years ago, so I don't remember any of the names unfortunately.
@@iLiekLemonade it's not really a song with a melody as much as with a beat. It could definitely still be played on piano, and sound fine, but it's just a really awkward request to get because how do you play atonal things on piano
You really nailed this haha, so relatable as a restaurant pianist and literally can’t hold a convo as well, I have to stop playing cus otherwise it kills my flow and then I’m audibly messing up (if anyone was listening in the first place). Make a part 2 !
Everyone: *enjoying the food and music The one guy who has 50 guitars and plays one of them once a year and thinks he's an expert on it: "PLAY FREE BIRD"
True, but I think he also has a point there. I'd much rather actually fully focus on the music, instead of trying to do two things (or more, if you're having a conversation) at the same time. I really can't stand the term background or elevator music, there's no reason these certain genres deserve less attention.
Kom'rk Ordo What you are saying makes a lot of sense. What Im saying that live music would be a great alternative to what most restaurants already play. (Mostly pop). Pop has a tendency to be attention grabbing, high energy music. Combined with having lyrics, this can be a much more distracting experience while eating. having a live piano would still being somewhat distracting but would make for a calmer and more peaceful environment. You wouldn’t have to focus very much on the music anymore to hear it and understand it.
@@ohhi5752 Actually, I feel like mainstream pop music is less distracting than live jazz, since it's so compressed and repetitive. Well... I guess it just depends. But yeah, I would 100% choose live music over pop at a restaurant.
On my last gig they just cut us off in the midle of the concert. Everyone was there listening and really enjoying the music and suddenly they turn off our sound and put their music. Without telling us. And before that the had us start 30 min late because they were watching a football match
Who hired you? The management didnt seem to like you very much. Can you charge for another hour as you had to stay longer because of the football game?
I think poudlard is like hogwarts in the french version or something (im not sure about what language) so its a reference to the magic wall in hogwarts XD
"Do you do lessons?" I'm a performer, not a teacher. That's a whole separate set of skills. Just because I know how to do it doesn't mean I know how to get someone else to understand it.
True, but you could always just say no. I think people will understand A lot of musicians give lessons as well as gigging, some even making it their main hustle, in order to get more 💸 💸 💸 (if they find that sort of thing enjoyable... or sometimes even if they don’t) so it’s pretty common
Thank you for recognizing this. Not all "teachers" think this way. They think if they're good enough to do it, they can teach it. And then they wonder why their students don't learn anything from them.
@@knickknack4338 I'm a TERRIBLE teacher because I had an ear for music from a very young age and had a lot of things easy from the get-go. I can't explain how to do it because I just kinda.. did the thing. The best teachers are the ones who had to work crazy hard to learn their craft every inch of the way. Teaching isn't showing how to do, it's showing how to learn.
Forgot the one where the random child starts banging away at the keys and the parents don't do anything to stop them. Then when you make any attempt to stop the child, the parents get super offended.
Those kids are the most annoying people in the world, my cousins do that (i'm not a performer and i'm not in any way near a professional pianist), but I'm still learning and I hate it when they do that
It's like two tripod shots, what do you mean. I mean, the dude has great comedic timing and everything, but the cinematography is pretty run-of-the-mill
I wouldn't call it revolutionary, but Charles seems to be quite good at pretty much all aspects of production. From sound (obviously) to lighting to acting to writing and editing....oh ya, and he plays piano gud 2 😅
Person: So how do you play like that? Piano player: Well I've been playing for years, every day and night. Person: It must be a talent! Piano player: Well maybe, but most of it is- Person: How sad that God gives talents to only a small group of humans. You are very lucky!
There is nothing quite as confusing as doing literally anything in the "arts realm" (drawing, playing the piano, singing, writing, etc) and having someone (especially a young child) come up and ask "how do you do that? How are you so good at that?" _what is the correct response to this vague-ass question?????_
I think as artists we forget that we were once in that spot also, so i made sure to never just reply with “just practice bro”. What I tell them i did (pianist) is that i began by learning one song (the scientist by coldplay) because its an easy chords on the left hand and right hand melody, then learn scales, basic theory, then your brain will start to make the connections and you’ll soon be capable of improvising in about a year or sooner if you genuinely love it and practice 40 hours a day. Because someone who generally wants to learn how to do this wont get past the learning Coldplay part.
I resonate with this so much! I’ve had guests ask my trio to turn up, turn down... you name it. I played for a party once where it was nighttime, everyone was on the pool patio, and they stuck me out under a tree about 50 feet away. Also I’ll never understand why people think it’s ok to talk to musicians while we’re playing. 😂 Great video!
“Nobody actually wants to hear live music while having a meal” No... no. Please drown out everything and everyone so I can hear your lovely playing while stuffing my face
"Cool music! You know, I was in a band in Highschool, we were called the Fart Tatum Orchestra, because we thought it was funny. We mostly played covers..." *goes into unnecessary detail and the story takes up the rest of your break*
My favorite was in marching band playing at the Peach Bowl when a few drunk fans demanded that we play Free Bird or they were going to copulate with our glutious Maximus.... Fun times high school... Fun times...
"Nobody actually wants to hear live music while they're trying to have a meal" hit me so hard. A band I was in played on the floor above the dining area, in a corner by the entrance.
"In reality, no one WANTS to hear live music when they're having a meal" Me: 😲 I LOVE live music when I'm at a restaurant or something. It's like listening to your own music but you can't control it and it's just really nice to listen to, especially in conversation gaps.
The manager at the last place I played before taking a 12 year break from jazz piano (in favor of folk guitar) would ask me to keep it down if I played a fast song. then I would play a slow ballad and he would ask me to liven it up. I don't think he was even remotely aware that music has different tempos and dynamics. The audience always seemed pretty happy except the guy with the hearing aid who would always end up seated 5 feet away from the piano. And the manager actually liked me compared to the other guy because I didn't play "The Snoopy Song" (Linus and Lucy.) At least it was a halfway decent Kawai grand. Thanks for a very relatable video!
So I'm not a pianist but I do sing with a pianist for these kinds of gigs a lot, and the "can you play uptown funk" one made me laugh out loud cause one time some knob came up to us and asked if we could play Chick Corea's "Spain" and honestly that was one of the funniest requests we've ever gotten. And before anyone asks, no, we did not manage to play spain with just a piano, hand drum and voice
Love the beard today lol v fluffy Edit: This is the reason i never complain about music even if its too loud! I know how hard yall work and all the other shit you have to deal with. Also theyre always more talented than I'll ever be lol So unless they're screaming into a mic and I cant even hear words I just let it go! (it might be just because I only go to a nice enough restaurant to have it like twice a year lmao)
I'd love to have people like you as guests instead of being told constantly to turn it down. One time, the keyboard was literally set below a quarter volume, no exaggeration, and I was playing quiet music such as Debussy's Arabesque No. 1, and yet I was still told to turn it down! At that point, it was hard trying to get it quieter without muting the keyboard completely!
Actually that last bit is the annoying truth they won't utter about their uppity yet unlearned wine and brie crowd who can only digest musical cotton candy.
I'm getting annoyed about how real this actually is Expecially the noise one because i play bass and someone once asked me can't you play it without an amp, that keeps the noise down
Bruh, there's no way in hell I'm going to show all the way up to the gig for them to tell me that there isn't enough people so they're going to have to cancel, nope, you're gonna have to pay me anyway, I'm already here, you should've called and cancelled a few days before.
Our band got booked for a charity gig. They didn't work hard enough selling tickets to cover their costs so they wanted us to "donate" our fee (naturally telling us _after_ we'd played). Funny that they didn't ask the caterers to do that.
The "background music" one always kills me. I once played a grocery store gig with an 18 person jazz band. They really put emphasis on being quiet for no reason. Really hope they learned the lesson not to hire a full band for background music. Such idiots

Expecially the noise one because i play bass and someone once asked me can't you play it without an amp, that keeps the noise down
These scenarios are a very familiar pain.,
Bruh, there's no way in hell I'm going to show all the way up to the gig for them to tell me that there isn't enough people so they're going to have to cancel, nope, you're gonna have to pay me anyway, I'm already here, you should've called and cancelled a few days before.
Yeah have to make a living too.
Our band got booked for a charity gig. They didn't work hard enough selling tickets to cover their costs so they wanted us to "donate" our fee (naturally telling us _after_ we'd played). Funny that they didn't ask the caterers to do that.
When I was a child I would stand close to the pianist and watch. Now my family owns a piano and now I’m going to learn to play!
People are, a bit much.
The "not enough reservations" excuse, so true.
The "background music" one always kills me.
I once played a grocery store gig with an 18 person jazz band. They really put emphasis on being quiet for no reason. Really hope they learned the lesson not to hire a full band for background music.
Such idiots
You cheered me up. Granted I'm still crying, but I'm not spiraling after watching this video. Thanks man.

The manager saying "quieter" each time is my music teacher when I play anything on the piano.
