Ab Ovo - Joep Beving (Piano Cover)

[@angiea2346]

Looking at how his hands stretch out so easily I think "dang idk if I can do this, but I'm absolutely in love with this song and the music so let's try!😆" I can already feel my beginner self struggling a whole lot, one day I can play it like a master though :)

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

Just keep practicing like you did and You'll make it ;)

[@adambergstrom3650]

Joep Beving is 6'10. That fact makes me feel better about myself when I have to rule this song out because I can't make those stretches.

[@Pietje900]

This was actually the first piece I learned as this was the piece that inspired me to start playing piano. As I discovered this piece I thought: "this is so beautiful, yet so symplistic, I could play this!" Without knowing how tall Joep Beving is or how big his hands are and how much he actually takes advantage of that. I'm 2 centimeters shorten than Joep Beving (he's 6'10, I'm 6'9), luckily I'm absurdly tall as well with a good set of piano fingers, but I've never felt this kind of cramping in my hands before with these chords. Also I really wasn't prepared for the ending of the piece, it took me three weeks to learn the entire piece, and about half a year to play it without hickups, consistently. I'd still say it's a great beginner piece since I never felt unmotivated to learn it, as long as you got big hands and feel something for the piece. Most of it is really easy, but don't forget Joep used the be a Jazz pianist and he needs to show off a little in almost every piece he composes.

[@Pietje900]

@@adambergstrom3650 there are clever solutions to it. With the chords just play the note he plays with his pinky one octave higher. The chords will sound almost the same. With the ending you can swing your hand from left to right as he doesn't play the notes at once.

[@anghungnguyen4973]

Oh God, I'm 5'6 and can barely reach the notes 😂. Gotta make some fake fingers to lengthen mine 😂😂

[@bananaman6862]

I absolutely LOVE that ending of the song! So beautiful.

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

Glad you loved it!

I'm glad you liked this! No problem. I hope you like it as much as I do!

[@tanushbhatt1419]

Thanks a lot! I was playing the sheets and something was sounding off in the left hand I was just so tired of reading (you know when reading just gets EXHAUSTING?) so I watched this and it's great!

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

I agree! Reading sheets is an exhausting task ;) glad you stopped by

[@maddiestewart309]

Is there a way to train your hands to be able to reach the bass chords? Or will I just struggle with small hands forever? Or is there a way to shorten the chords? Like an inversion?

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

You can short the chords by just not playing the top note. But your hands will grow bigger %100 so just hang in there

[@donyahaahemi9814]

My hands grew after a while of playing the piano

[@anghungnguyen4973]

Your left hand is amazing. I struggle to stretch my finger but can't seem to reach the note yet.

[@donyanaftchi2849]

hey, I don’t know if you already found a way that works for you but you can actually pick up some of the notes for the left hand with your right hand. In some parts where this isn’t possible you can also separate the notes from one chord and play them quickly so it won’t be too noticeable :) from someone with small hands lol

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

Did'nt even think of it in that way! Good advice! Thank you

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

Goodluck! Thank you for watching

[@b4N4N4XP]

I'm a beginner and been learning this piece. I came here to try and see how you transition your hands at 3:30. From the start of the video I began getting worried I was playing the left hand wrong. Then I realized I don't have man hands and can't possibly play the same keys you did lol. Forgot to say, you played this piece beautifully :)

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

Hello there! I'm glad you came across my video :) The transition is just little transition. If you do it differently and it works. Then keep doing that. And. You're a beginner. I've played for 6 years at the moment ;) And. I don't have manly hands. I'm not even 20+ ;) Thank you for your compliments

Can anyone recommend another version with shorter hands? 😭 i came here because i struggling with the ending from 3:25 but my hands are too short and idk how to play different keys with my left and right hand, is there another version? Another tutorial i could watch?

[@iamikra1051]

Your hands are beautiful :)

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

Thank you for the compliment ;)

[@ZackBOI-jl6co]

I remember a song that pianodeuss played and he wrote in the comments that the end of the video was for the shorthanded people and then I cried and then I looked at this and I was happy because he only did a nine key skip instead of a fifty key skip lol

[@Valentynno]

Can you please do a tutorial of Unus Mundus from Joep Beving as well? It would be a dream to me to learn it :)

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

There are unfortunately no sheets available for that piece. And playing it by ear is really difficult because there are a lot of notes. Sorry for dissapointing. But it's just really hard :/

[@architdongre1372]

You can order sheets now , he's released them

[@MakeMusic88]

Good Job !

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

Thank you very much! I love this piece.

[@thewarrenweston]

Is this in 432?

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

No! All these pieces are recorded in 440HZ

[@idoleyesd]

i can’t play this because my hands are too small for those chords at about 1:30 that’s so annoying

[@idoleyesd]

i can play the main riff tho

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

@@idoleyesd i understand that thats frustrating :/ but! Maybe you can alter those chords little to make them fit your hands ;)

[@idoleyesd]

@@PianoTimeOfficial I started yesterday since it was a present off my dad, i’ve not got any sort of lessons booked i’m trying to make my own way though like i did with guitar. any idea what shapes i could use instead?

[@PianoTimeOfficial]

@@idoleyesd you could try just normal major and minor chords for example: c major: C, E, G

Little too fast. Doesn't float like his does.

I agree on the fast part. The floating bit is always better in the original one. Because of the microphones and the piano he's using. It's always better than a virtual one ;) but I'm hoping you enjoyed!

@@PianoTimeOfficial yes. Its great for learning! I meant no disrespect. It just so happened in the same day a friend and I were discussing technic vs feeling. And I totally get the digital piano doesnt allow the notes to sustain as well as his do. The same way, a youtube comment doesn't allow tone and intention to come through. ;)
