Pianist reimagines "Gangsta's Paradise" with a Loop Station

[@gnuble]

I love that the first "correct" guess was Amish Paradise.

[@Arcticsharpshooter]

Yeah I also noted that! Goes to show how huge the impact of Alfred's creativity is!

[@PickledMelon]

This would already be impressive as a loop remix of gangsta's paradise that was premade and rehearsed. But the fact that you come up with all this LIVE on the spot just pushes it to insane levels of talent. Keep it up Frank, you're amazing at what you do.

[@rmfriend4995]

More impressive even is that he thinks of changing the camera angles aswell. He is just a brutal mastermind!!

[@CribNotes]

What makes you think he's doing this live? Did somebody just phone him with this idea right before he started rolling? Yeah, right.

[@PickledMelon]

@@CribNotes huh?

[@CribNotes]

@@PickledMelon How many rehearsal runs did it take to do it "live"?

[@PickledMelon]

@@CribNotes none. Frank has insane skill and is definitely capable of creating these on the spot. But if you wanna be a skeptic then have fun with that.

[@_XRMissie]

I will never not be impressed by the skills required to use loop stations proficiently. Straight up hard earned talent and I love it

[@seanweber4252]

@@frankgrimes7388 ignoring all of the improvisational skill and proficiency with your instruments required to make any use of it XDDD

[@t1mz779]

Once u play this video, u just can't help but finish it. Wholesome 16min as usual from frank who's frankly the best talented pianist i've ever seen.

[@CRJCrombo]

lol nice pun 👏🎉

[@brianbru]

This was the very first thing I've ever seen from this guy, just came up randomly in the old recommendations... Utterly blown away. For the first minute or so you're wondering "I wonder if he'll do the lyric?" then about a minute after that it's "I hope it stays instrumental!" Absolutely amazing way to spend 17 minutes of your life watching this. Amazing talent. Don't watch live streams so much these days but for sure subscribed to this channel from this day forth. Good vibes to ya all.

[@BunnyFilms]

So glad this appeared in my recommended. Never seen such an art before!

[@Benholio1]

Jeez, how does someone get so good at looping and playing the piano while also lifting weights for 12 hours a day?? 🤣🤣

[@uobilo]

when he goes off with the elec guitar at 14:30 is genius

[@boydmerriman]

OK, you just added that banjo, now I'm thinking of Redneck Paradise! But in the end, this is The Piano Mixer Paradise!

[@bonethievery]

Frank, this is the first video of yours I've ever seen. And i am absolutely blown away! Gangsta's Paradise is an amazing song on it's own and I've heard so many great covers of it in just about every genre, but I think yours is the most impressive of them all. I had no idea you could shred GUITAR on the PIANO!! And the banjo fit in surprisingly well! I can't imagine how many hours you've dedicated to honing your craft, but I know I'm gonna be dedicating many hours to listening to it. You are incredibly talented and I can't wait to hear more of your masterpieces. Keep it up!

[@Gillozz]

When a talent is out of control!!Magician at work!!!!! Love y frank

[@LeeValentine001]

Omfg that banjo though

[@fatihtarik]

15:18 AMAZING DROP 🔥🔥

[@Benholio1]

🔥🔥

[@wahmadiatmika1568]

hell yeahhh. i cant stop headbang haha

[@dcr1978a]

Thank KZbin algorithms for putting this on my feed so I could hear it!!!! Subscribed now! Totally amazing and talented.

[@RealRickCox]

I love some of the improves you did on this loop. It's a beautiful re-imagination!!

[@83n80y]

The banjo surprisingly works really well! The organ is also a nice touch.

[@juicy_oranges5529]

I am on KZbin for over 15 years now and this is one of the best videos I have ever seen in my life. Was never expecting that something can contain so many good vibes compressed into 16 minutes! Absolutely amazing stuff.

[@danielsikr4041]

Brooo... that was insane! You are very talented person and I love watching your videos. You are doing amazing job...

[@hendryborn135]

If you do what you love in life and follow your passion.... beautiful things happen

[@MuntyScruntFundle]

Pretty well put together. I used to do loads of looping when guitar delay pedals became available, nothing like today's kit, but a great way to lose yourself in the music.

[@deviantdo11]

I've been a mostly quiet lurker on twitch for over a year. (Because I'm usually working while you're live!). I've finally found my way to this particular channel. I'm constantly blown away by your talent! I was just singing along with this absolute banger! Amazing work, as always!

[@shivamjain9121]

I never comment but you forced me to! I'm just blown away by the goosebumps you gave me through your work! Pure bliss. Thank you! 🎧😌

[@Flo2]

Brought me goosebumps! What a beautiful masterpiece!❤

[@Kevinnummer1]

This is honestly so entertaining to watch. Thank you for making me smile for almost 17 mins!

[@leesin5380]

i never thaught i 'd have the best 17 min of my life by clicking on this video :o Thank you Franck

[@LuizHartkopf]

I have never subscribe to a channel so fast after a video. This man has mad talent!

[@ericmasden4270]

You can tell he was really feeling himself during this. His enjoyment added even more to my enjoyment. Thank you Mr. Tedesco.

[@Tommytwohawks]

This is insane. You know the drops are coming but you’re still surprised every time. Sick stuff Frank!

[@Notler]

Amazing as always... You keep surprising although we know your skills!! That choir sound was stunning

[@jamieevans5979]

Franksta's Paradise! I love it. Great job! RIP Coolio.

[@HAGSLAB]

That's the coolest guitar solo I've ever heard played on a piano! Epic Gangstas Paradise version!

[@YJMystic]

That guitar solo part sounds amazing!

[@pianoekket]

That piano bit was so relaxing. Awesome work!

[@TheAcidbrush]

I can actually hear an orchestral in the background..amazing.

[@CRJCrombo]

I love how overjoyed he is every time something sounds good. And everything he does sounds great!

[@riaannel3053]

Frank, WOW !!! Stunning piece of work !!!

[@EpicAkuma]

this dude really takes you on a fantastic voyage

[@clutchhaze1036]

One of the greatest re-imaginings of Gangstas Paradise I have ever seen.

[@GoldenRatio-24]

Nice job! There is so many layers and it works so well, i love it!

[@oxy63nme]

This is more than outstanding, very well done sir!

[@RY-fe3rt]

Awesome rendition! I'm sure he was smiling down on your performance from gangsta's paradise. RIP Coolio.

[@sarangsuryawanshi4762]

Thank you Sir. Beautifully played!

[@SteveP0808]

That last guitar solo made me think of Ronald Jenkees Guitar Sound (but he uses the pitch wheel A LOT). Both of you guys rock so much!

[@FloridaManRacer]

that's exactly what I thought of. Guitar Sound...

[@toshing2]

You clearly know your equipment very well. This is the first time I saw you create music, and I enjoyed it very much. SUBSCRIBED! Great rendition of Gansta's Paradise too. Would have loved to hear you sing to it though. Lol.

[@idk_something301]

This is why I became a pianist. I want to be able to on the get go create stuff like this inspired by the best I suppose

[@mbo8922]

just absolutely incredible ! please make more tracks of your own and publish them in high quality ! If I'd make a series, I would absolutely hire you for the soundtrack

[@bullridermusic2054]

Phenomenal man, as a self taught pianist I have a nice keyboard and KZbin channel but man I wish I had that gear. Again amazing loop and harmonization.

[@neverendingfire]

Very Impressive! And the banjo actually sounded quite good! lol

[@nielevans2947]

Gangsta's Lullaby! Another masterpiece by Frank 🤌

[@Operaatoors]

great! In mid jam I figured out that I can take my guitar and jam along! Great backing track! Still figuring it out! :)

[@misterwoody_]

Such a banger! This do be a good one ❤

[@z-tech]

That paradise was my father's "desired paradise" from 5:49 and beyond. So many layers, and so many possibilities for the approach, to hear the music deeper, layer by layer at a time! And the joke is you're just jammin', just chillin'... it is just a bit of finger exercise... Thx man! :D

[@mido821]

Man you are impressively talented ❤ Thanks for the great time spent listening to this 🙏

[@SYN_Beezt]

A song played more times than most, yet none such as this... Thanks again.

[@blajesse]

If nobody here has ever listened to the original Stevie song, please do it. It's a haunting and beautiful song ❤

[@twocityfoodies8476]

Always loved the Stevie original!!

[@BigKieth420]

Id reccommend coolio version if you havent heard it yet!

[@LeeValentine001]

FYI Frank, learned piano in my early teen years until my teacher had to move away and I sadly didn't look for a new teacher. I'm now 33 and have been doing lessons again for the past 6 months or so, 100% inspired by you mate. Loooong way to go before I get to your level, but I can at least proudly say I can finally play my favourite piece of music - Liberi Fatali Reborn (Final Fantasy 8) - with at least decent proficiency. I've watched your vids for years and my understanding is that you're not a Final Fantasy fan, but if you're ever looking for a fun but also challenging piece to learn (challenging because it's very progressive in a classical sense, as opposed to typical pop songs), I think myself and all the other FF fans would be honoured to hear your rendition of Liberi Fatali.

[@derbitcoiner8688]

YEAH!!!!! WTF you killed it ! damn coolio should have asked u to Produce it WOW! by far my most Fav Version of Gangsters Paradise out of an Impro Loop session. Damn Frank Killa Perfomance Dude ! Thanks for upping it to YT its sooo goood! i will listen to this on a daily routine now. Look what happens if ur down tired and start to loop songs INCREDIBLE!

[@hangugeohaksaeng]

Wow, that was awesome! Did not expect to watch the whole thing, but it just flows!

[@barrysaliu4804]

Bro, this is amazingly good!!! Awesome

[@JulianGaming007]

That last big drop was SO GOOD, holy shit

[@emsss78]

OMG...This made me speechless, my jaws were dropping throughout the whole video !!!!!

[@_the__man]

so great...I am speechless !!! thanks Frank 🙂

[@gautamu.9708]

Amazing music, never heard something like this before.

[@larrymages9304]

Frank, this is so moving. I could never imagine that I would be crying to Gangster Paradise.

[@anijon]

Fantastic Frank!!!

[@iamXnl]

a-m-a-zing! No other words. just amazing!

[@ZanderMorrison]

Guitar solo on a piano!! That sounded AMAZING!!

[@DollieGifford]

Bruh. "You want me to destroy my own loop with a banjo? Im down, im so down" lmao im dead

[@redjazzjrSRM]

Welcome to the Amish Paradise!

[@HossamMohsin]

It's really strange how gangster paradise music never dies

[@ΓιωργοςΚαρυοφυλλης-π4π]

I am speechless!! Perfectly executed!!!!

[@BasktkatSue]

I totally agree with Pickled Melon. You are fantastic with your on-the-fly lewps and we TedesCrew love it and you!! P. S. The banjo sounds great.

OMFG this is simply FECKING AMAZING.

No need for me to make some cool comment just wanted to say I admire your pure Brilliance and musical talent Frank!

[@jokeeffe007]

There are so many up votes I want to give you for this video!!!

[@chester82gtstang]

Frank I'm equally inspired and discouraged LOL. You sir play guitar better on piano than I can play on the guitar.

[@GoAwayNow247]

16*60 + 44 = 1004 seconds, all of which were worth it. You are a true scholar Sir. I salute you

[@SC2Villares]

3:35 Shout out to Jeffel5, the only person in chat that mentioned Pastime Paradise of Stevie Wonder, the song that was later sampled by Coolio. This original song is part of one of the best albuns in history, to those who haven't listened yet, i can't recommend it enough.

[@Caddynars]

It’s a really good song.

[@MrKunwarAnkesh]

Go straight to 13:42 minutes for the epic drop and who needs guitarist at 14:19 😅. EPICCCC.!!!!! 😮

[@paulwhetstone0473]

TBH, I didn’t think I would even be able to listen to 30 seconds of this interpretation. I was delighted and surprised to be wrong and enjoyed listening to all 16+ minutes.

[@zombiun]

Damn! This is booming, and I only found this now?! Thank you KZbin, and Frank!

[@MeAMuse]

Hey Ted! have not seen your vids in a while but great to see you killing it here.

[@D0NL]

That's really awesome ❤

[@McBeast22]

He is just too flawless with realizing ideas. Frank ''The Real Deal'' Tedesco

[@trevorfornash23]

Frank my man where you been all my life? Love the content just found you through Mr. Wilkins. I know you will succeed at whatever you do in music. Producer for sure. You fill a song all by yourself friend.

[@arkpulsesayen1154]

oh gosh, can i cry please.. ? it's so beautiful, i so much love it😭🙂

[@Lucas_Pit]

Been way too much in the gym and bought way too small t-shirts :). I’m just kidding m8, you are an absolute genius and have gotten talent of the gods. You sir are a legend. Kudo’s

[@mikesappleton]

Spectacular!

[@JeremyEllwood]

This was absolutely fascinating!

[@thiviii6079]

Honestly, we kinda need a Frank x Harry mack. a sick beat with the best freestyle rapper. Love what you doing frank❤

[@derrynj]

Bloody epic! Thanks Frank

[@erenguzel5816]

I guess I'm watching it for the 100th time from the beginning to the end. Love u Frank keep doing this! If you can cover some Turkish songs I bet you'll be super popular on Turkey. (Just a friendly advice)

[@minien90]

That was sick! 🔥🔥

[@Scott_03]

This made me subscribe. So good, thats all I can say.

[@0rigpumu]

great, Frank! thx!
