Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond [Pulse] (Cover)

[@carldouglas6610]

spot on... love it! one of the greatest tunes ever! covered so well! people forget that intro! nothing to compare to this on youtube!!

[@mb3official]

This is perhaps the most realistic and the best rendition of this song possible on a piano. Excellent interpretation ! Loved it.

[@cascalex]

Just one word : amazing !

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@Thewallbert]

Very beautiful this version, very crazy, very touching magnificent and perfect !!! Congratulations! You have a Pinkfloydian soul!

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@Tonkistador]

Very nice cover :) piano by itself gives it another dimension. love it

[@jvv8106]

Magnifique ! vous êtes un artiste

[@jsp4u2]

Merci!

[@SoundSunsets]

is the best version I've heard on piano.

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@HEXhibitionist]

One word only: WOW!

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@rcorreia80]

THIS WAS EPIC... THANK YOU

[@kike5176]

Amazing !!

[@douglaswilliams7720]

This is astoundingly fine.Well done Josh.P!!Best version I've heard.I am a pianist,not all that versed in how to arrange tunes...think I will get sheets for this,and copy your techniques for making the sheet music,which is not usually very good,into this kind of performance by you!!

[@jsp4u2]

douglas williams thanks! If you do develop sheet music for this, I would be willing to pay you for it. I’ve had a number of others ask for sheets to this, but unfortunately I just don’t have time to write them.

[@douglaswilliams7720]

If I can write them out I'll let you know.I am not a trained pianist,I have tried teaching myself by playing classical scores,because they are written out for me.I have found sheet music for rock songs to be generally bad,the arrangements usually suck,which is why I fiddle around playing a few classical pieces. They are usually complete in themselves. How did you manage this piece,is it by ear,or do you have knowledge of arranging tunes?It is spectacular nonetheless!!!

[@whatthe17]

Wonderful Josh! My favorite take on this great song!

[@jackmorefx]

8:51 Yes! Most of the players on KZbin always skip that part,but you really did a perfect job! Wonderful

[@timsboyd1]

Thanks for keeping me in mind!

[@dru109]

I'll have to repeat myself: simply amazing! I listened to it the second time this morning and I just couldn't stop smiling because of its awesomeness. I think this is as close as a cover can get to the original. Though there are videos out there that have more views I haven't seen any cover on youtube that can compare to this one. Outstanding!

[@franciscoortiz9767]

Wow, this is amazing

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@JorgeMorenojmdesign]

Thank you. This makes me happy!

[@Charlie_Olivares]

Amazing, really nice cover. Congratulations you are a very good pianist!!!

[@jsp4u2]

+Carlos Alberto Olivares Ruiz Thanks, I appreciate that!

[@timsboyd1]

Excellent cover an beautiful playing, proving again the piano is the most versatile instrument of all...especially in the right hands! Would love sheet music if you make it available.

[@marcoantonioaparecidoferre6597]

Bravo, Bravissimo!

[@adurandt]

Very good!!! congratulations, good job!!

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks! I decided to skip another part (about 10 seconds) around 4:05 (by accident, of course!). I had recorded the song several times to obtain a version with as few mistakes as possible, and upon reviewing the one I uploaded I realized that I had missed that section. In all my practice, I've never missed that section - but it was late and I didn't want to record again.

[@ЛаоЛао-з1н]

Ты большой молодец! Красава! Супер Пинк Флойд!

[@hagopmisak]

you are awesome you helped me to improve the way I play this thanks a lot man.

[@GENOBURRITO1]

I'll never be that good. Of course, I just started playing. You really did a wonderful rendition of this! In awe of your talent sir.

[@jsp4u2]

You just may - there are plenty of pianists that put me to shame. They're all over KZbin. Just keep practicing, and you'll get there. Scales are boring, but they really do help.

[@GENOBURRITO1]

Thank you Josh. I will keep that advice in mind. I am just now trying to learn chords and to me, that is pretty boring. Thanks for the input.

[@pirkaluc]

Josh Parker have you the sheets

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks! This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs!

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It definitely took some time to compose this one. Unfortunately I don't have sheet music for it at this time, but I plan to write it eventually. I'll be sure to let you know when I have it!

[@alpcanaydin]

this is the best pink floyd piano cover i've ever heard absolutely, good job bro.

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@georgianboxer]

Man, You're simly awesome. Greetings From Georgia ;) thank you for this playing

[@jsp4u2]

I'm glad you liked it, thanks!

[@kikesahagun]

amazing job man... really beautiful

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@Sleepy_Dandelion]

How is Your left arm still alive? Btw really Amazing. I f*cking love Pink Floyd and SOYCD is one of my fav songs ever!!

Genial!

[@pietvisser9908]

Great men, thnx! Piet.

[@JustAnotherFamily]

Nailed it! Good job!

[@MarceloFSilvaRP]

Really awsome! Great talent!

[@davidwaldmann5028]

Absolutely brilliant! Have you made sheets?

[@jsp4u2]

Unfortunately I haven't written sheet music for this song yet, but check back with me later and I may have it then...Typically I'll write sheet music for a cover when I get enough requests.

[@synapticaxon9303]

The sheet music to this song is famously lost so it would be greatly appreciated by musicians everywhere. I have a fake book with the main themes but I'd buy your notation of what you played here. I'm sure musicnotes.com would too and the remaining Pink Floyd members may even bless it given the issue around sheet music for this song.

[@danielbelousov742]

Wtf 2018

[@DiegoSayron]

Merece uma arena, uma imensa platéia e aplausos. ah.. desculpe. A platéia você já tem: o mundo todo te ouvindo aqui. Parabéns!

[@jsp4u2]

Obrigado!

[@paulinecastex1894]

I can't say how many times I've watched this video, your cover is amazing ! If you finish the sheets for this song and comfortably numb could you post them ?? Thank you for what you do, it's awesome.

[@pirkaluc]

Pauline Clara do you have the sheets of it

[@borisperez2851]

Maestro de maestros, es una interpretación magnífica. Agrega la partitura por favor

[@karmelix]

great job

[@MultiZappa69]

excellent !!! :-)

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@sienacastricum8998]

i NEED sheet music for this D:

[@Zeisslermusic]

Woow, thats amazing :-)

[@mitkobekjarov3599]

shinx

[@carl.b8775]

Well done. I play this song. But I do it differently, I change the mode to Sync Brass and it makes the noise that Richard uses in pulse.

[@danielwhts]

That was really good could I invite you to play up here in Albany Ny. God I'd love to play guitar to that. so laying out all the cords Gm ........

[@jsp4u2]

I actually need to record another version of this. As a few have pointed out below, I made a glaring mistake with the 4 "iconic" notes at 3:10. I kept making that mistake over and over again throughout the song. Guess I wasn't paying attention to detail when I first covered this, but I know now!

[@danielwhts]

I couldn't tell well i am looking to starte a trbute band at some point in my life just searching out players. I try to do my own thing if I'm not playing to the albums. Check out my sound cloud, soundcloud.com/daniel-white-37

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@antoinebonnet1860]

Well done dude! ;)

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks!

[@jsp4u2]

You are right, I missed that.

[@ninapimenta9446]

Could you do the sheet fot this one please??? ITS AMAZING

[@jsp4u2]

+nina fernanda dias zacconi pimenta I do intend to write sheet music for this eventually. I need to set aside a whole day to transcribe it though :)

[@jsp4u2]

+Aaron S. I really would like to write the sheets to this song since I've had a few requests for it, but my day job keeps me so busy that I've just simply had trouble finding the time to do it. It is still my goal to have sheets for this and other songs - if you know anyone willing to help with transcription, please let me know.

[@ramongriffo]

I really want the sheets too

[@TJLMTJLM]

incredible man. i play the piano as well. did you learn this from ear or is there some sheet music i can reference. i have the pink floyd wall and dsotm books already.

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks Tim Mehl! I did learn this by ear, but I made a few mistakes and left out an important part early in the song. But I can correct these as I work to transcribe it into sheet music. It's just taking me a little while longer than I would like since I don't have much time to work on it. At least for me, it takes much less time to practice and record a cover than to write sheet music for it!

[@dorothyallspice1862]

Watching this while high, I feel like ascending…

[@jayn9291]

I think I just found someone who loves this song more than me. But do you love "The Great Gig in the Sky" more than me? Kidding aside, that was pretty amazing. Thank you.

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I would like to cover "The Great Gig in the Sky", but I don't feel that I could do it justice!

[@thecrummycook6955]

Hey! Love your playing! Did you ever write the sheet music? Would love to have it... it's so hard figuring it all out from your video!

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I haven't written sheet music for this one yet, but I intend to do so. Writing sheet music is pretty time-consuming, so unfortunately I won't have this one any time soon...

[@thecrummycook6955]

Josh, you could always just play it on an electric piano and record the midi version and convert to sheet music... just saying'... I'd be happy with just a midi version myself!

[@jsp4u2]

Erwin, that's in fact how I usually do it. I use garage band in os x to generate a rough draft of the sheet music as I play it. The problem lies with how the software performs time discretization. It is sometimes horribly off in timing, often fusing together notes that I intended to be played separately. I try increasing the sensitivity of the timing analysis to alleviate that problem, but then I introduce other very odd timing side effects. I usually have to break the song up into pieces, play and record each section, and then correct the timing of each prior to fusing them. The process isn't too bad on a short song (< 2 min), but this song is relatively long and would certainly take a while to transcribe. What makes this song yet more difficult is the fact that it has jazzy, laid-back rhythm to it, a style which is not very conducive to music transcription (especially the beginning half). If I have some free time this weekend, I will try the process on a portion of the song and see how it goes. From there, I should be able to determine how difficult it will be to transcribe it.

[@thecrummycook6955]

Josh Parker Have you tried Sibelius 7? (Or Sibelius First, the "free" version). It gets great reviews on MIDI Input. I haven't tried it yet, but for sure it is much better in creating & displaying scores than Garageband. I am going to play around with Sibelius tomorrow and see how the MIDI input goes. Good luck!

[@thecrummycook6955]

Erwin Gerrits Forget Sibelius... Go straight to Cubase Elements 7 (free 30 day trial at Steinberg.net). I've been playing around with it today and it is the most accurate of all MIDI recorders I have tested. Pretty, pretty good.

Waw !!!!!!!

[@daehelttaR]

damn.

[@gbg3663]

that is ingenious. share da TAB, mate

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks! I would gladly share them if I had them, but unfortunately I don't have them right now.

[@josecarlos1969]

Si señooooooorrrrrrr

[@arturs3503]

Where can u get the sheets for Piano for this song

[@jsp4u2]

Unfortunately I don't have sheets for this song right now, but thanks for the interest.

[@mrjohny193]

I think the famous 4 notes should be A# F G E and not A# F A# E, great cover nonetheless!

[@andrewschwartz2112]

Technically a Bb not A# because it is a g minor scale

[@michaellogin9835]

Does it just seem to me or is it for real that starting from 5.40 there is some electric-organ-like underlying sound supporting the main theme? Or is that just the quality of sound of this specific piano?

[@jsp4u2]

Michael Login it’s just the piano - although I can see what you mean now that you mention it. The piano is a Yamaha CLP330.

[@michaellogin9835]

@@jsp4u2 Thank you for your reply. In case you've missed that - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ21h6GMZd6co5I

[@jackmorefx]

Don't worry :) even if you skipped those 10 seconds,this is very pleasant to listen to though

[@igorAaudio]

Thanks for this cover! I t is better cover I hear before!!! I very want sheets this cover.

[@lucianomello7207]

My God, very good. You have inherited the spirit of keyboardist pink Floys. That's perfect. Congratulations. Pass on my channel as well. I played a pink floyd. Thanks.

[@jsp4u2]

Thanks! I checked out your cover of Comfortably Numb - very good! I especially like your use of synthesization. I have a cover of this as well: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaXUYoubba6bn7s

[@Atlantichronos]

I need sheets my friends :D Life's or Dead's matter haha

[@jsp4u2]

I have gotten lots of requests for the sheets to this song. I don't have them now, but with this many requests I must write them soon!

[@Atlantichronos]

yessssssss!!!!!!! Incredible arrangment

[@jsp4u2]

I will let you know if/when I have sheets for this.

[@meelion5953]

Have you gotten sheets?

[@TripleGatan]

*slow clap*

[@BytebroUK]

Would love to hear you play this on a 'real' piano. Good work nonetheless!

[@jsp4u2]

Keith Willis I wish I had an acoustic piano - digital pianos just aren't the same.

[@BytebroUK]

Find a town where they are doing the "Play Me I'm Yours" thing with street pianos - I'd pay to see the rsults, buddy :)

[@BytebroUK]

I hear you. Myself, I just wish I had actually paid attention when my grandmother was trying to teach me (she was a piano teacher) - so wish I could play! But stuff as you played lifts me - please don't stop - if I ever win the Lotto(!) I'll buy you a real piano :)

[@jsp4u2]

It's never too late to learn to play - it just takes diligence. I just wish I could make a living playing - I have lots of ideas for covers, but due to my job there's very little time to practice and record them.

[@miwila]

Wow, this is amazing.
