Shedal Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hi guys! :) I liked the new christmas single so much that I decided to make a piano cover. I learned it by ear, had to spend several evenings for that... I got even more determined to make a cover after I listened to the existing ones on the YouTube... I find those overly straightforward, and also not very accurate. I hope you'll like my version better :) P.S. I mounted the camera on the top, so that anyone who wants to learn this song would see the keyboard and understand what I'm playing.

TF5092 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 this is very good, nice job. Much better than Adrienna's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Champion Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Well, not much better, but better. Everything is great besides the lack of Chris' solo, and I don't like the "and I'm still waiting" part, maybe because I love it and I wanted it do be really, really awesome. But still I like yours better, good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shedal Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 TF5092, thanks! The Champion, thanks! You're right, the "and I'm still waiting" part was the toughest to learn. I'm not sure how to make it better. In the song, it's the piano, the voice and the strings, combined in a weird yet very pleasant harmony... I'd like to play it better. Maybe I need to spend a couple more evenings trying to perfect it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacek2015 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Adrienna's ? Is it compared to another cover by 0AdRiaNleE0 on youtube ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Champion Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 ^ That made me laugh :lol: Adrienna XD Shedal yeah I know it's hard. It would be good if you could sing because without, every cover will not be complete unfortunately. I watched a lot of covers and neither one is good if it's about that part. It's really hard to replace the singing and Chris sings this line so weirdly beautiful. Well I'm only playing the piano part because it still sounds wonderful, I play vocal line only in the chorus. I hope you're gonna pefect it and when that happens I want to listen to that again. Oh and please do the solo too :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
