*Eyes roll back* this is absolutely perfect. As a fellow pianist this arrangement is stunning. Thank you for sharing

That is so nice of you to say, Jameson. Thanks so much and thank you for checking out my video/channel.

Does anyone else think this song has a Rihanna-meets-Sia-meets-post-2007-Linkin-Park sound to it? By the way, thank you for everyone who has stopped by already. I'm sure a lot of you are looking for the actual recording of this song by Rihanna and found this instead, but I appreciate those who stayed to listen.

Yes, Sia was partially responsible for composing "Sledgehammer". Stephen, thank you for sharing this!!!
@guilbs888 жыл бұрын
That makes so much sense. Even the way Rihanna pronounces "Sledgehammer" sometimes has a Sia vibe to it. Thanks for listening! And the comment. :)

The more I hear this song, the more I like it. Your piano cover is equally amazing! I try to learn piano, but then my teacher moved away and I haven't practiced in awhile. Still my favorite instrument.
@guilbs888 жыл бұрын
I hope you continue to play. It really is a magical instrument.
@elStarvingArtist8 жыл бұрын
I will definitely try again soon. It's the only instrument I really want to play. I had no idea there was so much math involve though and I'm terrible at math haha. I did managed to get the opening of Adele's Someone Like You down pretty good so there's hope yet.

@guilbs888 жыл бұрын
Elida, it's pretty easy to learn! Chord scheme goes D major - B flat major - G minor (I think, haha). Only real variation to that is at the end of the chorus each time on the word "Sledgehammer" you could go up to C major instead of down to the G minor. I do that in this cover and it sounds like she does it in the song but either way sounds fine. Good luck!

Stephen Guilbert Hahah :D That kinda counts for me as well :3 I had one year of Keyboard-(sigh)-lessons in primary school, but I quitted it cuz, I really didn't care for this instrument back then :c ... I started with the piano then during november '13 cuz I really wanted to play some soundtracks from the Hunger Games :P Well.. since then I was taking it again more serious :3 I'm also sometimes uploading some stuff on yt just for fun :D Are you planning to study something with music in the future? :3
@guilbs888 жыл бұрын
Probably not...just continue with the piano and try to become a more diverse pianist. That's so cool that it was The Hunger Games that made you want to learn the piano. I have one cover of a song from The Hunger Games on my channel (Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift/The Civil Wars) and I loved playing it. What other songs did you want to learn?
