Thank you Niall!!!

The bass part: nailed it.

[@Harlequin1ok]

I almost started to cry to be honest! So touching. Thank you a lot for this impressive work!

Thank you, Stephan.

[@philipclayberg4928]

You're amazing. First you have two hands, then four, then five, then six. (Two hands is never enough for Pink Floyd.) Amazing job. Can't wait for you to finish the other songs.

[@julianmalarz5227]

Just know that you have inspired someone to take on what they never imagined attempting. Your play style has moved me and I now aspire to reach this level of playing. Flawless technique sir, your countless hours of hard work have more than paid off.

Спасибо!

[@andymooresmith5098]

Ranjit, thank you for your reply. Love Pink Floyd, grew up through that era, never saw them together live, but did see Dave Gilmour in concert. You definitely bring their spirit out when you play, the little moments when the piece is emphasised or the chords are slightly more complex, are just bang on. So glad I "discovered" you on KZbin today. Best wishes, Andrew London UK

[@RanjitSouri]

Thank you very much, Andy! From Ranjit, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

[@natalierouviere9396]

Hey Ranjit ! Thanks again. For a Floyds lover, this is beautiful. You should start a Patreon and let people pay for you hard work. Maybe this can get you advanced recording tools or sessions in a studio for a tribute album.

[@RanjitSouri]

Thanks Nicolas! A Patreon page is something I've been considering for a while. Thanks for mentioning it.

[@grahamreece519]

This is incredible. I know youre doing wish you were here in order, but is there any chance you could squeeze echoes in somewhere? I think you could pull off an amazing cover

[@putinscat1208]

Check out Vika goes wild for Echoes. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHqTl6yFlqlsars

[@croissantsforthought8502]

@@putinscat1208 That version was too short and stuck to the basics. I would be very interested in a piano cover of the entirety of Echoes: It would be very interesting to see his take on various aspects like the avantgarde animals sequence in the middle with piano. If he succeeded in converting Shine On you Crazy Diamond and Welcome To The Machine, with all their aspects and nuances so perfectly to piano, I think he can do it(No pressure, if you're too busy with other stuff).

[@putinscat1208]

@@croissantsforthought8502 If by basics, you mean the basics or professional classical piano, then I agree.

Wow! Ranjit you've done it again. This is awesome. Makes me want to fire up the K2600X and call up the patch "Shine On" for that low G gritty synth string sound! Keep these videos coming. Looking forward to future installments.

Hi Francois! I don't release my scores. However, I purposely use a camera angle that allows you to (hopefully) see the notes I'm playing. Also, if you play the video at a slower speed, that could help you figure it out too. Thanks for your support and good luck learning it!

[@RanjitSouri]

Sorry Andy, I don't sell MIDIs. Thanks for supporting my channel!

[@TeslasTeaParty]

Great cover but did feel a little rushed in places especially at the start like your timing wasn't quite there, not a criticism as this is an incredibly difficult piece to play on it's own without having to put emotion in your performance as well...

[@RanjitSouri]

I do agree that timing is one area where I am sometimes a little bit off. In the studio I would have to do many takes in order to try to get things perfect, and I don't want to do that. Thank you for listening to my channel!
