Progress on All of Me by Jon Schmidt
Sort:
I remember seeing the official Piano Guys cover of this song first as a small kid, and years later, I finally decided to give learning this a go. I don't take piano lessons, but I generally would say I have an ok ear. Nonetheless, this is a big jump for me piano wise as my previous hardest, H in New England, is a slow, quiet piece, so going from that to a piece this fast has been an adventure. I started with the right hand and I'd say I have that 85-90% down now. There are still sections that don't sound quite right, so I might grab the sheet music and check that to be sure. I obviously haven't been doing it all by ear, some parts I need to reference tutorials I found online, like the fast run right after the intro sequence, as there was no way I was figuring out how that works without a visual. I so far haven't used sheet music, just memorization of the notes from video tutorials made in synthesia mostly. The left hand is a different animal, I made up my own simplified one that works well enough, but for the full effect I'll need to learn all the little ins and outs, many of which are out of rhythm with the right hand, so it'll be tough. But I think I'll eventually get something pretty nice sounding. Here's a vid with my current progress. I'd say It's only about 60% complete, and still lots of mistakes that I need to iron out, although part of that was just the pressure of having to record probably. https://jmp.sh/s/5pUchEGUfbQsHbEaBxXe

TLDR learning a new piano thing
Thank you! I wouldn’t call it exquisite yet though, there’s still much work to do on it
