You know someone has done a good job when you are singing along throughout ... let's face it, we know all the words... and here we are waving Brenda and Eddie good-bye. Very clever, arranging and playing the piano part, the vocal part _and_ the saxophone. Superb.
Incrediebly good! I started playing piano for about three quarters of a year ago. I have seen amazing progress. Playing blues and rock, and incorperating some jazz in there too. New York state of mind is fun to play, all kinds of Elton John tunes too.
you are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. you are making me tear up your talent is mind blowing considering its one of my favourite songs it makes it even more emotional. I'm speechless.
Im starting over with my piano myself after i listen to Billy Joel and really want to play his songs so whats skills should i focus on to be able to play those?
If you find a piano in a public place, please sit down and play this. People will stop and listen and you'll make them forget their problems for a few minutes.
Is there any chance you could make a tutorial on this song? It includes the melody and that’s hard to come by with just general search. Also this is crazy impressive.
@@paulrahme I really would´ve loved the sheet music, but I can´t even be mad at that, playing it by ear is even more impressive than this already is. Nice arrangement :)
Unfortunately not, I did this arrangement by ear. It seems to be gaining a lot more popularity in the last year or so, perhaps it's time for one of my "Tutorial + downloadable MIDI file" videos (I feel I could probably also do a much cleaner performance now than this 7 year old one)...
+Grace Walker: (not sure why your comment doesn't have a "Reply" link, hope you see this) Unfortunately not this one, but if you search iTunes for my name you'll find other similar piano arrangements :)
WOW! that was tremendous! I laughed, I cried... MUCH better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again. Seriously tho, I give it 2 thumbs up (the dam computer would only let me give it one) You got another follower. :)
Dude, what’s with all the rolling chords? Your a good player. Not necessary. It’s annoying. Just play the tune with some heart and guts and it plays itself. It’s blue-collar Bar piano not ballet class.
He's playing even more than Billy Joel did, because without the singer, this guy is incorporating the melody. Fantastic!
Not to mention the saxophone and clarinet parts
Billy Joel was the one singing, while playing the piano
Imagine traveling back in time to an old west saloon and playing this banger on their piano. The patrons would go absolutely wild 🤠
If I were to ever encounter a genie and he gave me 1 wish, it would be to be able to play piano like this
Favourite Billy Joel song!
I agree with you
My favorite part about this is the emotion that he incorporates into the way he plays and moves his hands. Beautiful playing!
If Piano Hero was a thing, this would be the finale/final song
no that would be angry young man
I think that would be La Campanella
There should be a game called Piano Hero 😂
And or Vanessa Carlton thousand miles hands down!
the final boss lol
I was waiting for 2:50 piano solo
I wasnt disappointed

Brilliant. Piano is one of the coolest things to me
BEAUTIFUL
If anything has ever deserved to go viral it's this video.
That might have been the best piano arrangement I've ever heard. Love it!
Liked after 10 seconds. Beautiful.
Same here! Great job!
Incrediebly good!

Great job. Great arrangement - really loved how you fill in all of the parts, including the horns through the Dixieland section! We’ll played, too.
Phenomenal. Is there any way I could get the sheet music or MIDI for this?
Great Job!
Difficult song, Billy Joel is one of the greats.
I don't understand how so few people have seen this

Nice.
If you find a piano in a public place, please sit down and play this. People will stop and listen and you'll make them forget their problems for a few minutes.
you're amazing!!!
What your piano model, màn? Its sound great
Thanks! This one was a Yamaha P-60 from the early/mid 2000s.
Is there any chance you could make a tutorial on this song? It includes the melody and that’s hard to come by with just general search. Also this is crazy impressive.
I've been going back and doing tutorials of some older songs, so I'll add this one to the request list! Thank you for the compliments & support :)
@@paulrahme would love a sheet music version too please!
Excuse me you messed up once I want an apology
Wow!
10/10!
Great piano cover, even better than Billy Joel playing also the melody!! I play piano but not even close to that!
4:20 best solo
did you have sheet music for this?
Unfortunately not, I did the arrangement by ear.
Paul Rahme I have the sheet music to the song from the Billy Joel Vol. 1 and this rendition is much better
@@paulrahme I really would´ve loved the sheet music, but I can´t even be mad at that, playing it by ear is even more impressive than this already is. Nice arrangement :)
Wow
Is there anywhere that you could buy this in sheet music?
Unfortunately no sheet music, I did this arrangement by ear.
please tell me you have any, ANY, sheet music written down for me to go off of!
Unfortunately not for this one, did this arrangement by ear!
Amazing! Anywhere I can find free sheet music for this?
Unfortunately not, I did this arrangement by ear. It seems to be gaining a lot more popularity in the last year or so, perhaps it's time for one of my "Tutorial + downloadable MIDI file" videos (I feel I could probably also do a much cleaner performance now than this 7 year old one)...
@@paulrahme Yes please! (Fantastic work by the way)
@@julesd1805 Ok I've added it to the list of older ones to make tutorials of :D
@@paulrahme I think you should definitely do that! This is absolutely incredible!
Any sheet music to this by any chance?
Bradley French check billy Joel vol. 1
Do you have sheet music or are the extra bits improv??
Sorry no sheet music, I arranged it by ear!
nice

You got another follower.
:)
I would love to learn this myself, do you have sheet music for this song?
Thank you! Unfortunately no sheet music, did this arrangement by ear.
Madness - I could never do two different things with my hands at the same time 😂😂😂😂😂 let alone move em about a lot
So few like why doesn’t everyone who watches this like it
Lol how the hell did you turn a ballad into ragtime
Hugh Le actually Id say thats how the song goes, beautiful brilliant composition. Amazing lovely cover too
That's how that part of the song goes.
How can I be as good as u?
If Billy Joel saw this, he'd want lessons from you
that's a stretch
yeah waita blow up billy joel's shit.
wow is all ive got to say
Great playing but the piano solo was too quick
Thanks, and yep, I'll agree there. I tend to uncontrollably speed up in that section :|
Dude, what’s with all the rolling chords? Your a good player. Not necessary. It’s annoying. Just play the tune with some heart and guts and it plays itself. It’s blue-collar Bar piano not ballet class.
Was good up unto the solo then it was ALL WRONG SMH
