if this kid actually taught himself, it is amazing. Even if he didn't it's damn impressive.

Also he obviously has loops of music that he paches together on the spot.. like how Biggie would 'freestyle' about the same things over and over again.

1. why does he talk so stupidly
2. i dont know if he taught him all that, looks like he knows progressions and arpeggios
3. speed =/= skill

3. I never ininuated that at all. I much prefer the slower parts of his song. The end kind of ruins it for me.

I like 2:45-3:15 quite a bit. Right arond 3:15 if he progressed with that build up it would have been much better but he ruined it IMO

Australianz r teh talensted!

looks like australia has thier own ryan seacrest (at the end) lol

mrford - that kid has a 'typical' country Australia accent..... I've met plenty of guys that talk like that.

I remember seeing the adverts for that episode this is the first time I have seen it..... WOW! Listening to the chords and the melody lines he is playing it is quite feasible that he is self taught. I'm going to sound like a complete fluff-tard here (this is my B. Mus talking). The chords are all 3 notes and the progression is based on one of the more common progressions found in popular and film music. When he does use notes outside of the key of A minor they are blues-based which nearly everyone in the Western-World can recognise.

That being said...... what a freak his sense of rise and fall in the music is great and his facility around the piano is amazing.

yea, i guess its alright if you dont listen to the piano much.


the slow part is so nice because he goes into polonaise op. 26/1. i bet this kid listens to alot of chopin.

and just for some perspective.
