[@pfingstgraef9727]

You can clearly see how much fun he has playing the song and it makes it so much better. Absolutely LOVE it!

[@HibbelssMann]

Hey Jonny, I am 21 years old and ive been teaching myself how to play piano when i was 14. By now I have the honour to perform every weekend infront of a couple hundred people. Still I watch your videos and wish to have just 10 % of your skill and knowledge of the piano and music in general. Ive been noticing for a while now, that my left hand is pretty weak compared to my right hand when it comes to speed and activity. But only since I watched your videos I've found the motivation to really train my left hand. Im studying and learning your despacite arrangement for a while now and training my left hand with it and its going great. I just wanna say, THANK YOU for being such an inspiration for me and thousands of other people here on youtube. You are a great pianist and a great teacher, keep on doing what you do and know that you affect alot of lives in a very positive way by doing it. Thanks and best regards from Germany.

[@ptitebouille7494]

hey ! I play on my own piano and it's really REALLY hard. I hope i can become better ! Thanks to share your storie. I feel less alone. ( sorry for this englisch. I am french normaly :) )

[@djmartingarrix7360]

Good

[@anhkhoatruong905]

The best cover I've ever heard. It's full of Latin style

[@karebear4485]

his face and entire demeanor while he plays just lights up my day

[@gacuma3617]

it's not only the way he plays the song, it's the passion you can see in his performance. Amazing dude!

[@Касимовакбар]

Вот это да!Вы, успеваете и танцевать и ногами,и руками,и телом двигать.Вообщем Вы,заменяете один целый ансамбль.Я очень удивлён как Вы,ловко и плавно играете,даже пианино полностью подчиняется Вам.Невероятно,Супер! Спасибо Вам.Всего самого наилучшего!

[@MrNtlman]

What I enjoy most about watching musicians like you is how much fun you seem to have when you play. Keep having fun!

[@Yoy077]

That's the only version that I could listen again and again, and again. Great energy ! Awesome work !

[@melvinstanly]

I love the way he is enjoying the music while playing. Jaw dropping stuff.

[@MarijanPiano]

Holy...?! That's PURE DOPENESSS!!

[@jasveersingh3586]

What marjin he is here wowww

[@АлександрЯркин-й9я]

wow! its very cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo0000000000000000000000000000000ooooooooooooool !!

[@VintageKeys]

my man

[@love-nsky]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYvGlKBmqNaXfKc Check for the sheet...almost the same arrangement!

[@rochanaranathunga8429]

this is the best despacito piano cover i've ever heard!!

[@TheGugi12]

This one is great, but Peter Bence's even better

[@martinchristensen8090]

The problem with Peter Bence's is its not a "playable" piano cover, he uses sound effect's, even with that i still like this more.

[@김재욱-l1i]

lol what do u mean its not a playable cover it is playable with the loop station and loop station technically does not change the "sound" being recorded. it just saves the sound and repeats it over and over again. its not that Peter Bence's cover is unplayable. it just requires loop station, or many people to play it in harmony

[@tipslo2]

Nah this one is clearly much better, sry for your wrong oppinion.

[@김재욱-l1i]

lol ive seen the list of videos that you have pressed the like button, and all of them were the most boring shit ive ever seen.... no wonder how rude you actually are :thinking:

[@chayanka_kaushik]

Totally different. I love those who play it in their own style. Awesome man. You're the real pianist not like those who simply put arpeggios and finish it . You've put a different n new feel to the song. Those who are criticising (whether good or bad) don't know the real taste of music. They are the type of people who like to eat food with the same ingredients in it. I think this cover is the best of all I found in KZbin until yet. Cheers! Edit: It's been one year and I realise how rude I was in this comment. I want to change it but I want to keep it authentic. Anyway thanks for the likes.

[@anubhavbaishya9586]

Chayanka Kaushik *don't *like

[@chayanka_kaushik]

Anubhav Baishya Uff. likes*

[@jorge.iglesias]

Chayanka Kaushik Is very easy to put new feelings in a song which is just about flirting and having sex 😂 (great talented pianist, btw)

[@helenaville5939]

+Chayanka. I like your comment. But I don't like when you insult the people who are criticizing and say "they don't know the real taste of music". That's not a good attitude and here's why. Because no piano player is perfect and I'm certain Jonny would be the first to accept he is not perfect (although he is an awesome player - in fact my favourite player on KZbin!). So criticism is inevitable and should be seen as constructive. When people like you insult the critics for stating how they feel about Jonny's playing they may not post their critical comments as often as they do and we the learners would then be at a disadvantage because we learn an awful lot from the critical comments. And I bet Jonny learns from them too because feedback is probably the most valuable thing one can receive in order to nurture and grow a creative skill. So please, every person here is entitled to voice their opinion and it doesn't matter whether you agree with it or not, what matters is that they can feel free to do it without being insulted. It's a free world ..... let's keep it that way. I wish you well.

[@chayanka_kaushik]

Helenaville Thank you for spending your valuable time in correcting me. I certainly shouldn't have put it that way. I understand people have their own opinions and just like that I gave my opinion too. I am sorry if it offended you and others. I didn't intend to do so. My best regards to you.

[@gpow4318]

Amazing technique and such a CREATIVE and original arrangement. Your joy of music just bursts out man. Huge fan.

[@Noah-gw4tw]

No no no! This is mind blowing 🤯 That’s the best Despacito cover I have ever heard.

[@nathangatt9048]

You're amazing. You probably have the best covers on all of youtube. I love how you personalise each piece and put your whole soul into it.

[@GrzegorzKierat]

The best cover of "This Unknown Song" I've ever seen!!! So many piano techniques over one simple song making it so advanced! I love it!

[@AMan4Given]

That means to live every notes , to love music , to have a real passion and to deserve more subscribers , views and respect.Thumbs up for you brother , keep on going 👍

[@JonnyMay]

Awesome comment - thanks!

[@josiasjuarez3428]

You got your wish. Three movie songs you should never play in ragtime.

[@908hanhouni]

Thousands of people tried to make different arrangements of this song, but none were able to make it sound this good. This is what I call true talent. Bravo!

[@es6066]

This is the best version I've ever heard! You have a perfect sense of tempo, nice job 👍

[@mmariedelle5511]

I think I've watched this a hundred times already and it's just so wonderful to see him play... Isn't Johnny May the cutest when he's almost dancing while playing the piano...?

You've put a different n new feel to the song. Those who are criticising (whether good or bad) don't know the real taste of music. They are the type of people who like to eat food with the same ingredients in it. I think this cover is the Best of All I can find in KZbin.

[@JonnyMay]

Awesome comment man! Thanks :) I've got a new cover in the works - Ed Sheeran's Shape of You. I think you'll dig it.

[@hembaruahpathtarazanjorhat5030]

Very nice arrangement .Your style and frequency is just Fantabulous. I also play piano . And I also like jazz.......I also saw your free falling on bluthner piano

[@Lincolnnew]

I bought your sheet music. I love it very much. I also posted it on KZbin just before. Although I have some mistakes, but I hope you enjoy it. I share your channel with my family and some of my friends, they all said you are brilliant. I support you Professor Johnny May. Can you post more? Thanks! I will continue to share your channel to others to subscribe your channel. Good Luck!

[@mr.everything5960]

Just bought it. I hope to learn it and play it well

[@ireekey5151]

Wow!!!Magic fingers!!!

[@なん-k6r]

[@elleondejuda4681]

Muy buena técnica mi hermano. Very nice technique Johnny you sound great ! You are as good as George Gershwin !

[@mikedelon3802]

That was seriously amazing maybe astonishing keep it up I'm really inspired and interested beautiful pieces that you play hard work but amazing.

[@matthewiles5714]

It maybe hard work but the annoying thing is that he makes it look so easy and effortless.

[@GerardoPerez-qd3fj]

la mejor versión que e visto

[@0983Blade]

Wow is all I can say to that. Since it’s 6 in the morning and I’m extremely sleepy and suffering from bad migraines , I was expecting to hear Desinfinado by Stan Getz, but was utterly surprised when he started playing this. I was about to turn it off cause it was not what I was expecting but I knew it’d be a sin to do, especially on a Sunday. This dude is a true magician on the keys. Magical to hear. I could listen to his covers all day long. Worst come to worst, I’d be entertained while I suffer in silence

[@awaisyusufazad3138]

One of the finest instrumental version heard ✌️👍 keep rocking

[@omglouie5114]

beautiful music!!!

[@hanna-j]

Great !🌺🌻🌺 You are playing fantastic! Greetings from Germany Hanna

[@execdd17]

Nice! I especially liked the section that modulated, and all the interesting variations on the main riff

[@cirilloz]

I love your musicality and zest. Your technique is really beautiful and you give the music such flare and dynamism. You are an inspiration and a natural talent. I LOVE YOU. :)

[@dxkiller2220]

thx for making this cover I think I will make this my study week background music HAHAHA really nice like it~~~

[@haitrieuchau2052]

So jazzy 😎

[@aldohemanth4791]

This is the best one I've ever listened to😍

[@HeavyMix3]

Hundred times better than the original.

[@Topcheck12]

I agree.

[@HeavyMix3]

Who cares about the title, music is meant to be enjoyed listening to it. His cover SOUNDS better than the original song in my opinion.

[@YuvalSalomon]

Check out my version too ❤😀

[@Felms99]

I don't get why people compare INSTRUMENTAL COVERS and real songs. Of course it's a great cover, but you can't compare this.

[@HeavyMix3]

Maybe you guys judge a song by its lyrics first, but I personnaly look at the overall thing and how it sounds, whether there is lyrics or not. You can compare music with music, if by "real songs" you mean music with lyrics, so you're judging a song is better than an other by its lyrics, that is an understandable point of view. Get in mind that there is multuple ways to listen to music and look at a piece of art, you just have to accept it. And fyi, i find the original quite enjoyable.

[@kevinbloom]

Who are these people giving constructive criticism? Never saw this guy before, but my daughter and I are in absolute awe. I've never seen someone this good play this well and enjoy it so much. I enjoyed this much more than watching Yuja Wang in person in SFO...the weekend of the US Open at Olympic.

[@ashabapat133]

What a fantastic version of despacito. Loved it.He plays with such passion and really seems to enjoy it.

[@robertlulek1634]

Johnny thank God God has gifted me with the ability to physically play any piece ever written. I don’t have the talent to make things up like you do but I have the talent to play and thank God for people like you to put it down the music so I can play it thank you!

[@akmatthew5323]

You are the real genius!!

[@debanjanbhattacharya2005]

This is the best cover I have ever heard. I wish if I could play like you. Could you make a Piano tutorial on it with MIDI notes ?
