@@Tautropfenoase Thanks Lucie, hope you're doing well?

@AdamFearnPiano Yes, I'm having good days right now. Thank you. I love your keytouch.☀️👋

@@Tautropfenoase Some pieces feel natural to the touch, and others don't. Can you relate to that?

@OutOfPiano Thanks Chris, were you familiar with Otto beforehand?

Vorrei poterti avere come mio dialogo interno!

@@IlkoBirov Thanks Ilko, I'm glad you thought it worked 🙏🏻

@@imaansharifi Thanks Imaan

@@HerzenJäger Hi Herzen, thanks. The sheet music is available online 👍🏻

Hi Michelle. This was on the Warm Grand piano type, but I don't know what settings I used for this as I change them regularly. The main settings I use are the reverb type (I normally use Small Hall or Live) and then adjust the reverb effect and reverb time on there. I like a lot of reverb if I can - as much as I can get away with, until the notes start bleeding together. When it gets muddy I bring it back a bit. It depends on the piece. If it's slow, I'll saturate it in reverb. I do play around with the virtual settings too, but only after I've got the piano type and reverb in the right area first. Hope that helps.

🙌🏻

Thanks Nik 🙏🏻

Thanks Nes, I only discovered it this month too. Haven't seen the movie Tabarly though. Not sure where to watch that.

È sempre un piacere sentirti Alba

Thanks Zuhur, although I'm very grateful to have Quality over Quantity, with such a disproportionately nice group of people here. I don't worry about algorithms and trying to feed the KZbin machine what it wants. It can have sad piano, occasionally, when I feel like it :)

Teşekkür ederim 🙏🏻

Thanks Erin, hope you're well!🙏🏻

Thanks 🙏🏼

Merci Carmino, ravi d'avoir de nouvelles nouvelles de toi

Thanks Nes, good to hear from you

Grazie Alba. Spero che tu stia bene.

​Anch'io voglio che tu sia bene. La tua musica fa bene a tutti noi ❤​@@AdamFearnPiano

Thanks. I started learning piano as an adult in 2018, but I did already know how to read music (not particularly well!) from when I was a kid, which definitely helps. In my opinion, half of the effort gets you playing 90% of the piece. It takes double the effort again for the final 10%. Getting the feeling right is at least as important as hitting the right notes in the right order.

@@AdamFearnPiano Can I ask you, in the intro section, second measure, where the left hand comes under the right a little bit, is your left thumb playing the C or D, while the right hand does D#?

​@@joehenriodYes. My left hand does the D-Bb-D-Bb run with a 5-2-1-2 fingering. My right hand position has thumb on the C and pinky on G, with my thumb retreating to allow access for the left hand underneath.

Grazie Sabato. È umiliante scriverlo sul pianoforte di un ospedale e poi vederlo scoperto da te in Italia.

@@AdamFearnPiano..non so precisamente (per ovvi motivi) cosa è stato.. Coraggio qualsiasi cosa sia successa,sei una bella persona ,si vede dalle note che suoni e ....da come le suoni . Un abbraccio 💫 (io sono alle 'prime armi', spero di imparare, il Pianoforte mi prende moltissimo. ..)

Thanks Rose. It's humbling to get nice feedback from a piano teacher who actually knows what they're doing! 🙏🏼

@@AdamFearnPiano Thanks Adam, I really enjoyed your performance a lot 🎶 Have a nice evening. 🤗

Thank you Rose 🙏🏼

So you moved to Germany and became a piano teacher. Impressive. Thanks for stopping by in our little dark melancholic corner.

@@AdamFearnPiano I love melancholic corners of youtube 🎶💙 Yes, I moved to Germany but was already a piano teacher before.

Thanks for stopping by Bob. It's really great to know that you connected with it

How humbling - thanks for sharing Nafis. It would be the easiest thing in the world for me not to bother sharing this, and it would be so easy for you not to make the effort to say something. But I did, and you did. This is why I do it. I love finding these connections.

Absolutely! It's like, your art is incredible, and I genuinely enjoy the experience of appreciating and connecting with your music. It's not just about the art itself; it's about the enjoyment I get from your unique perspective and talent.😍😍

@@nafisdakhili2135 ❤️

Thanks Chris. Have a good Christmas.

Thanks Carmino, I will put together the sheet music for the piano

Hi Heinos. Yes, of course. Spiderland is truly something else. Good luck putting the video together. Looking at your other stuff, I'm sure you're going to make a great job of it.

@@AdamFearnPiano thank you so much!

Merci Carmino. C'est vraiment un plaisir de partager avec les autres 🙏🏼

Thanks Aria 🙏🏼

Sometimes you have a long tiring day, and then a complete stranger says something sweet. Thanks Rehab 🙏🏼

I had some keyboard lessons in the late 80s when keyboards were cool. I learned all the bangers, like You Are My Sunshine and that sort of thing, so I quickly grew tired of it. In 1991 Nirvana came out, so my keyboard was traded for an electric guitar and that was that. I had learned up to grade 5 on it before I jacked it in. Then I had a gap of around 20 years, and like any right-thinking man, I developed a hankering for playing deeply miserable piano. I bought a digital piano and then taught myself to play pieces that I *wanted* to play, and it's been really cathartic and enjoyable, in a mopey kind of way. I'm not that familiar with any of the modern online or app based resources to be honest. As boring as music theory might be, I'm not sure it's possible to shortcut it. Others may be better informed than me, but I think learning a few scales, reading sheet music, and playing dreadful pieces like You Are My Sunshine are something of a rite of passage and a necessary evil. Sorry that's not the answer you probably wanted. Good luck!

Sure, I needed it to be portable as I don't have room in the house for a permanent piano currently. It had to be something I could put away straightforwardly. Having said that, I've since had my ES920 integrated into my work desk, so I can just open or close the lid to switch between a desk and a piano. www.reddit.com/r/piano/comments/tx3w5e/home_office_piano/?

@@AdamFearnPiano thank you Adam. I do have the space for a larger piano so now I am torn between the CA49 and the ES920. The CA49 does not have a line in/out option for ease of recording later on down the road so I am currently researching how to navigate around that as my local piano shop has a very good deal on a white CA49 that is now a discontinued model.

Hey Christine, it was a Roland FP-30 at the time. I wanted something affordable, small and portable so that I could put it away afterwards. I didn't have the space for a piano then. In fact, I still don't. I've since integrated the Kawai ES920 into a desk so that I can switch between work and piano by opening the lid.

@@AdamFearnPiano amazing, I have the FP30 now. I have played for a couple years, thought not at your level yet and I wonder when I can justify the upgrade. I hate the sound from the speakers now so I only play with headphones. It is between the ES920 or a Yamaha P515

@@Letstidytogether I was in the same boat. I could get it to sound alright with headphones, but the speakers and line out really limited the sound. I've had the Kawai for quite a while now and I still like it. The sounds are really malleable and expansive.

@@AdamFearnPiano yes I can’t stand playing without my headphones. It is very uninspiring. It is also such a huge decision but I have heard so many great things about the ES920. How do you find the action to be compared to your Roland FP30?

I know the Yamaha 515 is supposed to have a much heavier action

Usually the reverb is dialled up to 10, but for this sound I had a new button fitted which lets me put it to 11.

Merci Carmino. La musique transcende le langage 🙏🏼

Thanks Osman, appreciate the note. The whole reason of doing this is to connect with people. How are you getting on with your ES920? Hope you get on okay with the sheets.

@@AdamFearnPiano hi Adam, tomorrow i'll print the sheet and work on it. İ loved the song and also your playing. Es920 sounds are really very rich but i changed it with ca901 last week. Actually i'm amateur but every evening working 1-2 hours and watching the piano songs. You are playing very pure and clean that makes me happy when i watch you. Thanks a lot for these songs.
