PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN Piano Medley by David Kaylor

[@aSongScout]

What in the absolute hell. How many hundreds of hours did you spend transcribing, practicing, memorizing, filming, editing all this. Just...what. I am truly impressed by the amount of work it took to create this video.

[@TheVarietyGuy]

aSongScout Maybe just a couple hundred ;p It certainly took a lot of time and hard work, and I'm so glad you can recognize and appreciate that! So glad you enjoyed, and thanks so much man! 😄☺️

[@gabrielcamacho1256]

I wouldn’t say better aSongScout! Lost of words 😍

[@PleaseNThankYou]

I was just gonna say the same thing. WTH. I just so happen to have a bottle of black rum in the kitchen. After this, I think you deserve one. I will drink it for you and promise not to spill a single drop.

[@Combobattle]

ACk it's a crossover!

[@oscarfernandomartinezvarga4580]

Santa mierda hermano, que buen trabajo hiciste

[@stevenpiule4172]

My guy … - 40+ minutes, no breaks. - One freaking take. No cuts. One take. - Near-Jarrod level difficulty across the board - No sheets - Transcribed to perfection before AI existed (I’ve tried to find many of these songs back then and they don’t exist for piano) - Exceptional execution - Without a single drop of rum. Doing any of these alone is insane… you did them all. As someone that can play Jarrods Pirates - I am astounded at what I’ve just witnessed. Good job dude.

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Thank you so much!! That really means a lot to me 😊

[@poorlittlesheep4098]

Seriously what's to dislike about this??? the fact that this man played the piano for 40mins straight alone deserves a like!

[@emiamsd9722]

lol I literally graduated from my 10 years of music school last week and I am still unable to play like that. I mean I Had to do over 20 minute programmes before, but i have no idea how you can still play like that. IT'S FREAKIN' EXHAUSTING ! HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY PLAY 43 MINUTES STRAIGHT?!WITHOUT SHEETS!! ARE YOU EVEN HUMAN,BRO??!! 😅

[@JackSparrow-hm7eb]

[@htm4106]

David Kaylor Me:"Which one is my favorite? Oh, Davy Jones plays his organ. Haven't hear it for a long time." Min. 15:65 scrolling over the time bar, "where are you, where... wait, is there any 15:65?"

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Haha omgosh! Someone else had pointed that out and I changed the description, but I forgot I had it here too. Haha thank you, it is fixed now xP

[@forcinalucas]

What shall we die for still under-rated ! :)

[@nathanielward2420]

I know, right! I absolutely love that track!!

[@marcaguilozdocor2410]

David Kaylor The first one was so bad

[@zhixiongzhang1747]

I just click "like" button even before I listen, 'cause I know it's gonna be another brilliant medley and I am going to love it!

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Zhixiong Zhang Thank you!!! 😄

[@lollo2179]

I think that less than 0.0001% of the world population will have just an idea of how difficult is realize this video... This is a truly talented guy as few in the world. This is an excellent job under any point of view! Great transcribing, magnific execution, filming, editing, ...

[@jamest5014]

That's got to be the best pianist I've ever seen... Seriously, that was amazing

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Thank you so much!! 😄

[@jackdimond7810]

I'll second that wow. Genuinely sounds like your playing with 20 fingers! What is this sorcery?

[@azamisark7082]

You are pirates,aren't you ！？ You have plundered my heart. fantastic！！！

[@anickslife]

One of the things that stands out most for me with the POTC scores is how many themes and leitmotifs there are (and how well they can all be woven together.) You literally paid homage to each. and. every. one.

[@Joe.Lipari]

I got all excited seeing a Pirates of the Caribbean piano arrangement.. But then I saw it was FOUR SOUNDTRACKS WORTH and was like HOW EVEN?!?!?! Incredible!!!! Great Job, Man!!!!

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Joe Lipari Haha thank you so much!!! 😄 I'm glad you enjoyed!! 😊

[@Joe.Lipari]

Also! You need to make a sheet for this... I keep coming back to it dying to learn it

[@cameronplaystrumpet6777]

This is nothing short of awesome

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Cameron Nielson Thank you very much! 😄

[@CaptainRG2]

As a pianist who started playing because I loved the music to these movies, I so appreciate the attention to detail, the respect for the SPIRIT of these tunes, the creative liberties, the inclusion of so many CORE yet under-performed melodies, and the obvious GARGANTUAN feat of labor that went into this!!

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Thank you so much!! I really appreciate your kind words, and am so glad that you appreciated my attention to detail and passion in this medley 😁

[@hpb7980]

The amount of work that went into this is insane and commendable by itself. But its heartwarming to notice that you genuinely enjoy playing this music, and that you're just having a bit of fun

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Thank you very much!! :)

[@RossKMS]

Incredible. Even if you dislike the movies, you can always appreciate the soundtrack.

[@paulwilliamson7707]

Unbelievably awesome! Can’t believe anyone watching this cannot know the level of genius behind this!!!

[@sarahbarnhart617]

My wrists get sore after playing Radnich's version twice through... I cannot imagine the stamina required to play this. Excellent job!

[@christophereddis9272]

Great work, David. Also, for anyone wondering, the Pirates of the Caribbean 'theme' that is from every movie is 'He's A Pirate'. David's rendition is superb.

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Christopher Eddis Thank you so much!! 😄

[@adamkowalczuk4924]

Great!!!

[@jeffreytan2333]

Wow, love this! Just seamless transitions once again! Great work!

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Jeffrey Tan Thank you very much!!! 😄😊

[@予蝉]

i'm 16 years old and i will be taking my grade eight exam next week, tbh, i always question that if it worthy to spend so many time on an instrument, however i stop doubting when i watched your perfomence, it is just amazing and breath taking, thank you so much for posting it.

[@TheVarietyGuy]

予蝉 Thank you so much!! I appreciate it 😄

[@Kennythesinger25]

Hands down one of the BEST!!!!!! Pianist of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Waveistar]

Dear sir, you are an absolute piano god. How this medley doesn’t have millions upon millions of views, I don’t understand. I’ve probably watched it myself close to 50 times. I aspire to be what you are on the piano. God-tier stuff.

[@jordanlea1502]

You my friend are a legend, one day they will write songs about you 🤗🙂

[@seraf8520]

Your rendition of One Day at 29:34 was simply spectacular. It's one of my favorite tracks from the whole Pirates of the Caribbean score, and when you played it gave me goosebumps! I had seen your La La Land medley, so when I saw this in my recommended I knew it was going to be fantastic! A brilliant job, as always!

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Sera Fuad Thank you so much!! 😄 I really appreciate it. ☺️ "One Day" is definitely one of my favourites as well - it's so beautiful, and I was so excited to see that they re-incorporated it so much into the new film. I'm so glad you feel I did the piece justice! Cheers! 😁😊

[@lmtgaming8325]

Agreed, both of you👍

[@jadeowings4269]

Whenever I look up the definition of skill your name is always there

[@ryanpatteson1309]

I'm impressed by the shear talent and skill. most impressed by the fact you played all of it with no sheet music.

[@TheVarietyGuy]

ryan patteson Thank you! 😁

[@amandajamison8650]

I've honestly been listening to this piece on repeat for literal WEEKS. I seriously can't get over how absolutely stunning this arrangement is. I heard the Star Wars medley before this one and I was blown away, but this takes the cake. Can someone please get this man a recording contract?

[@tangdole]

6:37 He's a pirate was just absolutely beautiful :o instantly subscribed

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Tang Do Le Thank you so much!! 😄☺️

[@WhiteWolfPaula]

It's so cool that you played so many different soundtracks in a row so fluently and with that great passion, just wow.

[@mysticreviews2932]

One of my favorite videos on KZbin

[@sarine3282]

I have been listenting to this medly for years whenever I need to really focus and crank something out. I listined on repeat through law school and now in my years as an attorney. Thank you for this beauty!

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Aw, that makes me so happy to hear! I'm so glad you enjoy, and thank you so much! :)

[@heejonghan77]

I am a beginner playing a piano in self-study. I have no teachers but, if I have one, he is you. You are my role model. This is first article in KZbin. If you give some advises or resources to help my self-study, I could not be happier and I am honored to be taught. Sorry that I am not good at English.

[@TheVarietyGuy]

HEEJONG HAN Aw, thank you so much!! That means so much to me 😄☺️ I don't really know what advice to give, haha. I still have so much to learn myself. But just keep practicing and stay dedicated, and always play what you love! 😊

[@Hanger1712]

Best potc medley in the universe

[@saraacena451]

I don´t know how to thank you enough. This music is my f***** childhood

[@vfgjasminebaker]

The crackling fire in the background really adds to it. A true man of ambiance!

[@DANGERTGM]

I can play piano myself so I know how hard it is to memorize songs. The fact you memorized all of this just blows my mind!

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Primitive at Best Thank you so much! It sure wasn’t easy :p

[@thisdreamsalive]

I can't concentrate when I'm listening to songs with lyrics which is why the Pirates of the Caribbean scores are perfect to work to, but this has become my favourite video on KZbin

[@QuinnsieCrows]

I CRIED! THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Elana Atikian Thank you so much!! ☺️

[@minio6285]

Can't believe this long take is happening for real. WHAT A GIFT.

[@Polterghoost]

Absolutely amazing. This is my favourite thing to listen to when working or just relaxing. Love every song you've incorporated into this melody and it sounds incredible. So much hard work and preparation, well done!!

[@anickslife]

My god, how have I not seen this until today? This is sheer brilliance and I hope to death that you recognize how truly gifted and disciplined you are for being able to accomplish something like this.

[@janesun1053]

This is the best piano video I ever seen!!!!

[@mouthy_maestrod2992]

God those articulations from 3:00-4:00 are absolutely impressive. The dynamic contrazt between the playing in that short time is fantastic.

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Thank you!!

[@Luca-vb3xo]

I was planning on playing this in the background. But I couldn't take my eyes off

[@MrLasty12]

Still one of the best performances of this music I've ever seen. Wish it could be downloaded!

[@tomasplesek907]

This is literally my first ever comment on a KZbin video, but when I listened to/watched this, I actually felt compelled to give my sincerest and deepest appreciation to the gentleman behind the instrument. The amount of work that had to go into this and really execute on an idea like that is absolutely freakin' insane. Truly amazing sir, words cannot describe my utmost respect for your accomplishment here. I cannot even begin to fully comprehend how much time this had to take. Bravo, and of course, your performance is brilliant. Thank you

[@apollochewbacca6151]

i liked and subscribed after the first 30 seconds once i realized i was watching someone who plays better right now than i could ever even over a million lifetimes.

[@TheVarietyGuy]

[@karenc.jordan9792]

David, your Pirates of the Caribbean medley has now become a proverbial and beloved member of our family! We have a 7 year old son and tend to theme most of our activities to music. This has quickly become one of our most often played and thoroughly enjoyed pieces. You are an amazing talent and thanks so much!

[@TheVarietyGuy]

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Shachar Har-Shuv Thank you so much!! 😁😊

[@JackolynSparrow]

I don't normally listen to piano medley's, but this was absolutely stunning. You played a lot of songs that I never would have expected to hear on piano (To the Pirate Cave?!?! Angry and Dead Again?? LOVE IT!!) 42 minutes and 50 seconds of my life well spent! Incredible job!

[@TheVarietyGuy]

JackolynSparrow Thank you so much!! 😄 I really appreciate it 😊

[@MrLasty12]

I've listened to this so many times in the past 6 months, loving all piano music particularly film scores. It's one of the best pieces of piano music I've ever listened to!!

Have you ever been so overwhelmed by music and the talent one possesses that it hits you square in the gut?

[@janicechang4788]

HUGE FAN! I personally play the piano (although I'm not even close to your level) and your compilations (especially La La Land because that soundtrack is the absolute best) continue to astound me. You make me want to try playing other styles of music and although your sheet music seems a bit hard for my level, I will learn eventually. :)

[@TheVarietyGuy]

[@CybertroninfiniteOfficial]

It is, I wouldn't be able to learn it in a few weeks

I've only been playing for a bit less than two years and I'm improving very much thanks to you. I love pirates of the Carribean in fact I live in Puerto rico. I want to get to play as good, as fast, and as amazing as you. Love Ariana Zoé

[@TheVarietyGuy]

Thank you so much!!!

[@lamlegends9821]

So it would seem

[@ArielSubotzky]

With the amount of time you put into this, I expected worse. A few hundred hours should not be enough to complete a full transcription of the best of PotC with all the crazy chords in this. How you fit it into merely 42 minutes for it all is frankly stupefying. Consider me vastly impressed

[@yuishizu2]

You're very welcome. And thank you very much! :)
