I think Andrew needs a style change in clothing

Just kidding

That's prolly how it's to see Criss Angel play a piano.
Playing was great to...

It just shows it doesnt matter how you dress you can still be a great pianist...
Every performance was great, the show elements are perfect, starting with the top model orchestra
That is what Andrew would need to put more emphasis on instead of the extravagant clothing, I bet the audience would be a lot wider.

Nah, Im not thinking of that one right now actually. I was thinking about Exodus
I foaund the backingmusic for it, where the pianopart is left out. And it would be so cool to play with that.
And it is so, oh, cant describe it... It REALLY took me If I can say it like that
Its a bitt different, a bit happy, sady, got action and runs in a tempo Im used to, so it will be a great challange and much fun at the same time i think

I see, you are preparing to make yourself busy for the summer, huh?
Hope you will post that one too... oh my... you are going to have a huge video collection soon if you are going with that rate...thats awesome
Im sure Andrew would be happy

HEhe, Yeah... I guess this piece will make me a bit busy, but I dont got so pressure on time. And I dont think I can play this piece good enough, in a really long time... So its a pig project I think. But the 4fingerchorduse is comming along. Now it the fingers would just get into position in midair it wouldnt be a problem at all Couse there is usually 3/4 finger positions to do the chords, and I try to use my(the one between the pinki and the middlefinger ) Since I need to involve this finger to make it better to use. I se maxim does the chords with that finger in use.

Ring finger?

Yeah I hear you, I would love my fingers to line up in the right position in the air

Weeeeell, I have learned 3/4 of a page(total 5 pages) :p And it is at 1/10 the speed so this one is a 3-4-5 month project to make really good =) Im practicing fur elise and victors piano solo some to, since im posting those very soon...

Heeey dont be too modest, 3/4 of a page is awesome!!!!!! You only learn it for what like a week??? Plus you practice other things too. You are doing AWESOME maaaaan (Wish I could learn that fast)

I still dont quite know what is Victors Piano Solo but at least I know Für Elise.
Für Elise is not an easy one, because you need a lot of feeling and skill to play it nice ( because there are millions who can just push the right exact note and the melody sounds like Für Elise but I wouldnt want to be one of them.)
I rather choose something which is not that wellknown

Well, actually 2days I got a whole page now memorised, but still I play reaaaally slow But still cool, couse I can recognize the song at a couple strikes And that is cool 4 pages to go, and the 4th page and 5th also, got a couple of really hard parts Thats why I think this is a loong project

Well then wait until the weekend and you will see my play Victors Piano solo, its really beautyfull I think

And Fur Elise IS REALLY beutyfull hehe... And I know how to play it with emotion, as long as the solos turns out great In the same recording, Ill be satiesfied :D

If you manage that in 2 days the harder part wont take you too much time either I bet.

Hehehe Well Im modest, but I feel I can put the emotions in. Couse I really do love to play it. Its the technical part Im woried about. It is still a bit sloppy a couple of places But, I promise. Saturday I will upload a vid, no matter if I do it "perfectly" or not. Perfectly in the meaning, as good as I can get it at this point
