Every pianist on YouTube attemps Animenz's UNRAVEL WALLS

[@notalentpiano]

*edit: at 1:46 - in left corner “8 points of notalentnesss…” something I forgot to delete from my old videos:((( sorry, I didn’t mean to say bad about Xeter’s performance, but my usual complaints of my skills… *original: Why isn't the first WALL included here? Because it's easy. Do you trust the words of the Worst Pianist ?

I trust them... coz I deserve a medal for being able to do worse :)

[@Fanchen]

I always advocate hand redistribution to make things easier, especially if the music won’t be affected. We have to work smart, not just work hard sometimes.

[@notalentpiano]

Ayy I’m super happy to see one of the Legends stumbling across my crappy video haha. “…if the music won’t be affected”. Perfectly well said. My simple mind couldn’t possibly thought of that fingering and resorted to believing Animenz’s fingering as standard (which is normally only for super duper big-handed guys…) And btw if you’re truly the original one who came up with that fingering then I wanna say Thank You especially to You for helping me feel like being Animenz for mere seconds 🗿🗿🗿

[@zek2713]

I literally learned the hand placements from you for the wall, you made it so much easier

[@Mogi_Man]

1:40 "But Animenz recommends only the thumb... I forgot where I read that" I'm pretty sure its in the beginning pages of the physical popular anime songs songbooks vol. 2 where he describes 3 walls in detail

[@notalentpiano]

Ahhh thanks for confirming it for me!! :D

[@notalentpiano]

Let’s assume it’s a test for those who actually read All Details in his music books 😎

[@jimiyu.]

anyone know why this is the case? swapping for index felt much easier for me i also have pretty big hands (12th) so weird fingerings often work better for me but ehhhh

[@minnie-piano3969]

woah I'm surprised I made it here 😆 I was inspired to swap hands after I watched Fanchen's cover. Thanks for making this video! I've watched most of these covers, and it's super nice to see them all in one video.

[@notalentpiano]

And I’m surpised that my video actually reached you! 🤣 thanks for watching. I was very happy to see a very few people (such as you) who performed that swap hands at that Wall!

[@boredPianoAdv]

This is so cool! I love how you turned all your research into a video; I really enjoyed the comparisons. It's worth noting that both Mason and Aliblame have modified their recordings to remove/fix wrong notes via MIDI editing (pretty obvious when you watch in slow motion) - they're super talented piansts and I doubt I'll ever be as good as them, but it's important to know that what you hear isn't exactly what they played. MIDI editing is super commonplace all over youtube and I even do a bit of it myself; I point it out here because you're comparing against pianists who played on acoustic pianos and could not fix their performances in the same way

[@notalentpiano]

Oh really they editted ?? Damn now that’s another story. No wonder why I thought how could they play it so clear and clean.

[@leonardsmith9870]

@2mimi834 As much as I enjoyed TheIshter, he was a salt machine before he just disappeared. All he did was talk down on people and say everything everyone did was fake, or they shouldn't be doing :/

[@boredPianoAdv]

@@leonardsmith9870 iirc Ishter condones MIDI editing (in his discord he said that it was the norm and that only purists take issue) so idk if he was calling out Animenz (probably the other way around if I remember his discord message correctly) Anyhow while Animenz does midi edit, he only started doing so in 2020 so his unravel is 100% accurate to what he played

[@boredPianoAdv]

@2mimi834 Thanks for telling me about the NieR edit - I didn't know about that before and will be looking into it. I'm worried your view of Ishter is quite narrow - he's never come off like that to me in the livestreams and videos i've watched of him. Do you mean he was lying in the video where he defended pan piano? I haven't watched him a lot so if you have specific examples of him saying these things (like how you had a specific example of animenz editing with the nier video) that would help a lot

[@boredPianoAdv]

@2mimi834 also, to clarify, that's not MIDI editing at 5:39 in the nier video, because it's an acoustic recording and that steinway had no MIDI playback/recording system; it's an alternate audio take spliced in because the sync of the audio and video gets worse briefly for that section (and the stereo perspective of the microphones is different and more off-center) and then gets back in sync again after the edit

[@TheWackiestDood]

[@Nole2701]

I also do the hand swap on the downward arpeggio, but for the "thumb wall" I just alter the piece in a similar way to how animenz has done in live concerts before. The first "wall" with the double octave jumps is still hard but in its own way. You can get past it by just retrying and re-recording from the beginning until you get it right. The other walls require a technical skill that cannot exactly be cheesed in the same way.

[@erckupazo]

Your unravel cover is boutta be the best one of all time I have a feeling

[@notalentpiano]

You mean a full version ? :3 Allow me to deny, mine would never best anyone’s, especially Animenz’s. It is the nature of No Talent Piano to produce the worst possible piano performance man could do despite all his effort.

[@erckupazo]

[@SimpleChipling]

This is literally created so that no one could perfectly play it. Only the man himself Animenz

[@potatodude5327]

as someone learning entry to music theory as a mandatory course in uni rn: yeah, nah man, i'm glad i draw as a hobby.

[@brankye517]

I also attempted the walls. Personally, I think the thumb wall is harder to play, but I found the thumb fingering 11 11 121 121 to be much easier than 11 11 111 111. I also remember Animenz recommended to use all thumbs in a fans meet up. For the fastest wall, I feel llike it's the easiest. The first wall, big jumps, is pure muscle memory. It's easy to hit wrong notes but not that hard to cultivate this muscle memory.

[@matthewclarke5008]

Don't put me there. That's one of my worst spots, the repetition on my upright is slow, that didn't help...

[@rodrigoespinoza4833]
