Rihanna- Sledgehammer- Piano Cover (Star Trek Beyond Theme Song)

Learned and recorded this one in 24 hours. First time ever trying that. Hope it came out okay!
oh btw I heart Rihanna

[@jamesonholbrook3969]

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

[@stephenjosiah1488]

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

[@guilbs88]

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.

[@MattGrossChannel]

Yes, Sia was partially responsible for composing "Sledgehammer". Stephen, thank you for sharing this!!!

[@guilbs88]

That makes so much sense. Even the way Rihanna pronounces "Sledgehammer" sometimes has a Sia vibe to it. Thanks for listening! And the comment. :)

[@MattGrossChannel]

I've taken the liberty of subscribing to your channel. I'm getting my talent agent license after having worked as a casting director. Hopefully the occasion will arise when I can call upon your musical talents.

[@guilbs88]

That sounds good to me. You know where to find me. Best of luck!

[@user-ht4ep6td4x]

Bro I hope all those five who disliked your video die suffering from aids, keep up much love

[@daphnenelson1304]

This is beautifully done! I love your arrangement so much! It makes me want to learn how to play it!!

[@guilbs88]

Thanks!

[@rorrante]

Very nice ! Star Trek brought me here. You're great on the keys.

[@guilbs88]

Star Trek brought me here too! As did Rihanna. It's like combining my two favorite things in life haha.

[@guilbs88]

Hahaha it's funny because it's true. Cannot wait for this to come out

[@JoeJenkins]

love this cover. just covered this song myself

[@elStarvingArtist]

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.

[@guilbs88]

I hope you continue to play. It really is a magical instrument.

[@elStarvingArtist]

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.

[@Samuel115s]

Absolutely amazing.

[@DanielaSpadini]

Stephen hello beautiful chanel, a collection of covers pop not indifferent ... that I have heard is fantastic, beautiful sound, beautiful interpretation!

[@janijurickova]

Perfect! Best performance..

[@KatherineGanzel]

Even if you didn't think this is your best cover, I absolutely love it! Thank you! It's awesome. :)

[@guilbs88]

Aw thank you so much. That's very sweet of you to say.

[@motrcrosgrl]

Beautiful. so lovely sounding.

[@guilbs88]

Thanks Alicia

[@DarioDaversapiano]

Subscribed to a fellow artist :D great work!!

[@guilbs88]

Thank you, Dario!

[@angel127_]

I am in love with this song, I wanna cryyyyyyy!!

[@JuanJGartner]

You did it so fast, yet so good! thank you.

[@guilbs88]

I think my biggest problem is that I rush most (all?) of my covers. Gotta work on that. It's one of those things that I know I do and I can't help but doing. Thanks for watching!

[@angelica-ru3ug]

Amazing! keep going u definitely have talent!

[@NorCalTravelBug]

You're amazingly talented!! Thank you!

[@guilbs88]

Thank you!!!

[@kiaralionel4249]

Wish I could play like that with my favourite songs. Amazing!! :)

[@guilbs88]

Thanks so much! You should try to imo. The piano is so much fun. Give it a shot!

[@kiaralionel4249]

Alright! Thank you!

[@guilbs88]

[@Sandman9811]

Thank you so much!

Nothing I'm bracing for the pain and I am letting go I'm using all my strength to get out of this hole I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer Yeah I hit a wall, I prayed that I would make it through, make it through I can't survive a life that's without you, that's without you, yeah And I will rise up from the ashes now, the ashes now Oh, the sparrow flies with just the crumbs of loving spilled, yeah I was bracing for the pain and then I let it go I gathered all my strength and I found myself whole I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer Submit Corrections A-Z Lyrics R RIHANNA Lyrics Search Request Lyrics Submit Lyrics SoundtracksMusic Videos Facebook Links Advertise Here Privacy Policy DMCA PolicyContact Us Powered by  RIHANNA lyrics are property and copyright of their owners.

[@guilbs88]

I've been doing this for five years. I have 61 videos and over 2 and a quarter million views and this has to be the best comment I've ever gotten. Rock on lmao

[@ashystyle]

This is great!

[@guilbs88]

Thanks!

[@user-gx6fv4kh1v]

[@daphalot8150]

Awesome job

[@guilbs88]

[@TaylorBrad100]

Te volaste la barda! Quisiera poder tocar así de bien :/

[@Jayden-we9ie]

Que si que

[@ayah1211]

This is amazing! Bravo!

[@guilbs88]

Thank you!!

[@elidao3316]

I want to learn this so bad 😫😫 good job tho 🙌🏼🙌🏼😊

[@guilbs88]

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!

[@RIVERKINGERIC]

Fine work, sir.

[@guilbs88]

Thank you sir

[@TonyDomings]

Awesome, dude!

[@NorCalTravelBug]

Dearest Stephen, I keep checking your channel to see if you have done a cover of the song by Bruno Mars - 24k Magic. I know you must be very busy... Perhaps in the future would you consider doing a cover? You're amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your talent!! P.S. This video, Rihanna - Sledgehammer is my most favor video of yours!

[@Trigga95original]

Great! I'm working on a bass cover!

[@guilbs88]

Send it to me when you're done!! Would love to hear it.

[@michaeldillon7780]

HOLY CRAP MAN!!!

[@guilbs88]

:-)))

[@sandrastoermer]

Great performance! :)

[@guilbs88]

Thank you as always, Ms. Stoermer!

[@JeroenMies]

very nice

[@guilbs88]

Thank you Jeroen

[@adrianjurjevic3564]

Wow, very well played!! :))

[@guilbs88]

Thanks!

[@adrianjurjevic3564]

Stephen Guilbert You're absolutely welcome :)) How long have you been playing the piano? :D

[@guilbs88]

I've been playing since I was five. On/off in high school and college but got serious with it again towards the end of college. Do you play?

[@adrianjurjevic3564]

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

[@guilbs88]

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?

[@jinxapologist]

wow wow amazing! do you have sheets to this or did you arrange it yourself? or does anyone know where I could get sheets?

[@guilbs88]

I arranged it but I sadly don't have sheets. Sorry :(

[@jinxapologist]

+Stephen Guilbert thanks anyway and keep going!

[@MrJeffParks]

What keyboard are you playing on?

[@ludensecho9317]

MrJeffParks i think its an e-piano from yamaha.

[@ludensecho9317]

i have yamaha arius. It looks the Same as this

[@guilbs88]

Luden is right- This is a Yahama Arius YDP-142. Love it. Best investment I've made in a while.

[@bebeywik9935]

pls covering sorry by beyonce lemonade

[@guilbs88]

Haha perhaps...

[@Stonehengoo]

I liked ur video, for reasons I will not elaborate on.

[@guilbs88]

Let me guess: The fact that I chicken scratched the lyrics on a piece of paper so I could remember the song? Haha

[@agnesraisyal6757]

can u share the sheet please?

[@guilbs88]

I don't have sheets, sorry. A couple of other pianists have them, though. Good luck

[@CMRNHILL]

This is very nice. Calming even. I covered a piano version of this song but yours is better.

[@guilbs88]

I like yours! You sing! I can't sing.

[@CMRNHILL]

+Stephen Guilbert thank you very much. You covered it?

[@guilbs88]

Just this version on the piano.
