"Fool's Overture" (Supertramp cover), written and composed by Roger Hodgson

What a masterpiece of song. Fool's Overture is, in my opinion, the greatest song of Roger Hodgson, as well as one of his favourites. Here I've played a cover version which I particullary found very hard to play, because I had to push too many keys and buttons! :D Anyway, I really enjoyed it, even with the mistake I made at the end, but I tought it was a minor mistake, so I uploaded it!

A tutorial would be awesome and very much appreciated, for those of us who are not very skilled at piano :-)

[@daxeric9193]

you all prolly dont give a shit but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!

[@giovannigannon5670]

@Dax Eric instablaster :)

[@beewardrobe]

Wow and thank you.

[@DrewSweetwood]

Absolutely brilliant man. I agree with the last posting, will you do a tutorial. You don't have to teach or talk. You're work is done, I think. If not a tutorial then just play it slow in parts??

[@gerardorios3326]

Grandiosa pieza musical¡¡¡¡¡ Excelente interpretación, Podrias compartir la partitura?

[@Militaryminiatureshq]

WOW, How did you do it? I see it but it's still hard to believe it. BRAVO!

[@JuanFernandez-ki7ol]

Increíble, asta el ultimo detalle, tienes un oído privilegiado y unas manos que obedecen a la perfección. Felicidades

[@Customsoftwarebyprestoninc]

Awesome versions of the Supertramp songs. Did you ever record one of Lover Boy? I can't seem to find it.

[@marcfnp90]

thank you. You make me a big smile in my face :D (is that well written? xD)

[@roquefortfiles]

2:26 (In your best bulldog voice ) We shall fight on the seas and oceans, We will defend our honor whatever the costs may be. WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER.

[@juanbetisjb]

muy buenoooooo

[@gabrielgarcia7561]

is that the wings album? are you playing it. 👍

[@jessykcastep]

you could make a tutorial?? i love this song please

[@dryhopped2]

@marcfnp90 Very Nice! I think Rodger would be impressed.

[@marcfnp90]

@wiiman250 thanks a lot :)

[@christiaantinga]

Although not 100% accurate (aww who cares! as if I could do this better) ; what a fantastic video! Indeed a master piece. Thanx.

[@HVYMETL]

02:10 is awesome

[@sergecampeau2844]

I don't know how you can strech your hand to reach these distant notes with one hand. It looks so easy. For me it hurts like hell to make the G-Bb-Eb-G and the A-C-F-A. Do we need oversized hands to play that song? Where did you get the music sheet? I think that mine is not accurate.

[@lightsun13]

I think so, but as you might know, Spanish is my mother language :P Anyway, you still rock :o

[@marcelx13]

@Metti2711 I think that too!! Need more feeling....

[@4FabBEATLES]

It's not an easy song, especially ecause Supertramp, and Rodger as an individual's music was/is so complex in music, meanning and lyrics. It always was meant for an orchestra- so capturing iton one keyboard isn't easy. I dont think ive ever even seen Rodger himself try to do that.

[@marcfnp90]

thnks a lot! :)

[@hanvanderveeken904]

what key is this in?

[@supertrumpy]

The second chord, once the lyrics/singing starts, you play a D in the bass with a Dminor chord in your right hand, that is painfully wrong. (among other things,) Dont use the D in the bass, use an A just as you did in the first chord keep the Dminor in your right hand. That's the way Roger intended the beautiful second chord to be. Good stuff and I always enjoy your interpretation on Supertramp.

[@gerardorios3326]

Could you share the partiture, please???? Podrias compartir la partitura porfavor????

[@pablofebe]

Buenisimo! I don't know how you do it...are you the "one man band"? o el hombre orquesta? LOL

[@flira77]

Acabei de desistir de aprender :P

[@marthaalcarazcanals3432]

Marc, excelente trabajo por supuesto, solo me sobran tus silbidos, aunque me consta la buena fé, se me hace imposible cantar tu pista. Congratulations anyway!!!

[@julianoenning]

yeah man, make! Very very good, i ever watch your videos, congrats! RT Jéssykca you could make a tutorial?? i love this song please

[@jaime598]

jajajaja q makina te lo has currado :)

[@Quiquemusic]

Very good, excellent, congratullations!! Please can you give to me the sheet this song. Thank you very much.

[@marcfnp90]

-.-' xD ok gracias por recordármelo

[@virginiamb]

a w e s o m e . thats all

[@TheLolilolou]

Where is Roger ? ;-)

[@tootking4477]

Omg everyone complaining about how fast it is should go listen to the actual song

[@tootking4477]

It's very hard, I tried earring the chords out

[@pacopallaresmate8068]

si pudieses substituir silvido por voz por que el silvido es muy bueno pero al igual cantando res mas buedno

[@tootking4477]

And you try playing it

[@tonyheymans6090]

Well played , but this isn't Supertramp neither Roger Hodgson , the title is misleading.. But right i see it's a cover.

[@marcfnp90]

@kerlosm Respeto tu opinión, pero no la comparto.

[@RuidoTriste]

so fast

[@marcfnp90]

@kerlosm Graba tu una version en lugar de criticar sin argumentos.

[@gabrielhhhbk]

Fucking good performance!! Congrats

[@adler474]

Hola, me parece que esta decentemente ejecutada, pero a manera de critica constructiva, creo que le faltaba mas tiempo de estudio, mas practica, tiene detalles como errores de dedo, tambien de repente aceleras el tempo o lo alentas, claro, como no hay nadie mas que vos tocando, comprendo que no hay una referencia, pero aun asi hay momentos en los que se te iba el tempo. Pero vamos, se oye bien, y me da gusto que tengas ese buen gusto por musica bien pensada.

[@commonsense7884]

Y so fast?

[@marcfnp90]

Hi! You can see by the date that this video was recorded and uploaded 10 years ago. Back then, KZbin restricted the lenght of the videos to 10 minuts maximum. It's not like nowadays, where there's no restricition (as far as I know). That's why I was playing faster than the original recording, because I tried to record the whole song in less than 10 min. However, if you listen to the live versions of this song, you'll find that in both Supertramp and Roger Hodgson's solo concerts this song is often played this way. Have a nice day!

[@commonsense7884]

Thnx for info

[@dawnlambert9369]

... Danmmm Ya Coulda Aleast Put A Picture Of Mr.RogerHodgson In His FluffySleeveShirt On The 🎹 Piano ... 😠 ... 😆 ...

[@Metti2711]

youve learned it very well, but played it without any feeling.

[@philgallagher7090]

you have to play a little slower!

[@ibehl]

Your cover is very good, however I think that you focus a lot on the technique, instead on the emotion, the feeling that the song projects, try to balance between both, just my humble opinion :)

[@doncook1278]

ibehl Imo, there was no lack emotion, such that I listened and watched till the last note was finished.

[@mikoloomikoloo]

not bad, but you need to learn the chords and play with more feeling. Especially the intro. Keep it up

[@norwegianzound]

Seriously? Ignore this guy. You did a great job.

[@anshelm222]

Good cover, but bad finish ;)

[@pisceslernin]
