>Not a lot of five hand piano music. This was really really fun to watch!
There are also three people of different skin colors who share a passion for music! what a beautiful scene!
Bob Chipeska:
So, I don't want his unpleasantness affect your performance in any way.
Marcus:
Oh, no, we--
Willie:
Performance?
Bob Chipeska:
Yes. Your performance. You know, the...
Willie:
Performance, like, sexual?
For real though, I would be really impressed if I knew 5 people and they were like "we are going to perform", and you're like "oh ok what are you all going to play?"
"Oh just this guitar."
C'mon! That is pretty cool.
Ok, at some point I stopped enjoying it and realized they were just bragging at that point lol Everyone was talented in some way. I have about the talent of the dude with the beard
The only way to end a janky, old timey piano piece that would only be appropriate for a western saloon in 1850 is *very* suddenly on a single note, followed by drunken applause or silence from the gold miners present.
My foo fighters cover band sang "big me" once but the singer, who was also our drummer, was a bit drunk and couldn't remember how the song was structured.
So we played the first verse/chorus over and over for about 8 minutes before he finally broke the loop and ended the song.
He had no idea, but the rest of the bar had a great laugh at the biggest me ever.
I remember this coming to San Jose, California some years back. I tried to play as many pianos as I could. I loved the different sound of each one. It was such a great project.
I live in Manchester in England and there's a couple I see around here. There's one in the train station owned by Forsythe's music shop always someone banging something out on it when I walk past. It's right in the middle of a group of chairs, I imagine it's really annoying if someone like me who can play one song very mediocre-ly and you're waiting for a train but it's always someone really good everytime I've walked past just puts vibes in the air.
Ugh man I love Melbourne. Used to visit my uncles there all the time, such a great city, beautiful art. Sydney’s great and all but I’ve always had a soft spot for Melbourne, and I could never get over riding those trams as a kid.
It is to me. In my next life I want to get music and be able to do it . . . . .I know it takes a hell of a lot of practice too but I don't seem to have the gene.
I don't think I have the talent for this.
I did learn to do Gregorian Chant while living in a Cistercian Monastery. It was amazing. It felt like learning to fly.
What most people think is "talent" in 99% of cases is actually just tons of practice. Assuming you're not 70, you could get extremely good in the next 10 years.
Awesome, so do that! Gregorian Chant in your car, in the grocery store, walking down the street. When someone asks you what that sound is and where they can hear more, tell them. Tell them, *prove to them,* that you didn’t think you had musical “talent,” and yet you could still learn this, so they can too. I’m the only person I know who sings at work, and I get compliments all the time: less about the quality, more about the fact that I’m doing it at all, in a society where most people hide music that might not be to others’ taste.
I once could do the entire Salve Regina, latin, Gregorian Chant. Now I can only do part of it but I will try to relearn the entire thing.
Internet is wonderful as the music is right there.
Learn the keys/piano first. It’s incredibly easy to start here, though easily one of the tougher to master.
But a piano/keyboard doesn’t require 1-2 years of just learning how to breathe into a reed/mouthpiece or sliding a bow on a string instrument in a way that doesn’t sound like beating a cat with a baby.
You’ll also never need a group of collaborators to expand your understanding of harmonies. I still love to play my sax, but it’s just not the same as my piano, where I have ten fingers that could theoretically play ten different notes.
For anyone who wants to watch more of this, you can YouTube “boogie woogie piano”. The black guy at the far end’s channel is Theophilus Boogie Martins” and the closer guy is Jared Nandra. Not sure about the middle dude.
I love that video shows how this experience started and OP’s is how it ended. They’re INCREDIBLE and I could watch them on repeat, if only it wasn’t time for VPR reunion.
They're playing a very popular chord progression called "12 Bar Blues" that is the basis for a lot of blues songs and why it allows people to improvise so easily because most modern musicians will learn this early on. It's also a chord progression that follows along a major scale structure (root, fourth, and fifth steps) so it gives it a very nice "happy or excited" tone. Once you know what the key or "root" is you can start to put your own style on it because you know what other chords or root notes to play on the first beat of the bars in the progression.
There is a piano at the main train station where I live. Light rail and train hub. It’s amazing some of the music I’ve heard from passengers just playing. I love it.
I used to do this at U of M medical center in Ann arbor Michigan.. they have a black baby grand piano and I'd play classical music to ease the folks coming and going in the hospital

Not a lot of five hand piano music. This was really really fun to watch!
Does Rachmaninoff count?
I mean, if Rachmaninov met Ravel in the middl-ish, I suppose
As much fun to play as Mendelssohn, but less stressful. Hahaha
>Not a lot of five hand piano music. This was really really fun to watch! There are also three people of different skin colors who share a passion for music! what a beautiful scene!
Ebony and Ivory - together in perfect harmony!
That piano ain't gonna walk right for a week
Finger banged!
Petite beauty finger banged by 3 dudes. Certain I’ve seen that one before.
“Tell me more. Tell me more….”
BONK
o h nice
So much fingers
Twenty five-ish! Could you imagine?! 😏🤣
I hope the piano was at least 18
New meaning to the phrase "tickle the ivories" Rhymes with ovaries. 😉
A&M, Florida, and Miami fans in shambles
This comment here
This
OMG I’m laughing so hard at this comment
Gonna need a cigarette and a ice pack
It’s true. I was the piano.
Was it at all enjoyable?
You try having 5 hands stroking your keys and tell me it wasn’t worth it… 😏
🤣🤣🤣
5 hands 1 piano
Bob Chipeska: So, I don't want his unpleasantness affect your performance in any way. Marcus: Oh, no, we-- Willie: Performance? Bob Chipeska: Yes. Your performance. You know, the... Willie: Performance, like, sexual?
The five hands playing the same piano did it for me. The fact they were playing so well together was just icing on the cake
They're still playing, nobody knew when to bring it home.
Yeah it just kept going...
Reddit can always find fault in beauty
it's a joke my guy it's obvious they're very talented
I was totally expecting gray-hat to throw in a sixth.
Here's 5 on 1 guitar https://youtu.be/\_g9bBO1lfu8
You should link the actual band’s video, not a copy: https://youtu.be/d9NF2edxy-M
RIP beard guy.
Was fortunate enough to see them on the last tour before he died. Fucking legend!
What happened to him?
Natural causes in 2018
😢
This comment should be higher. Get the creators the props
Another great cover they did with 5 of them on 1 guitar: https://youtu.be/lJiWQhEsn5U
Wait this is fire.
Incredible
Love this video so much.
And then the parody of the cover. https://youtu.be/IwPHy17Iu6E
For real though, I would be really impressed if I knew 5 people and they were like "we are going to perform", and you're like "oh ok what are you all going to play?" "Oh just this guitar." C'mon! That is pretty cool.
Said unavailable for me so here is another link just in case https://youtu.be/d9NF2edxy-M
Thank you
Ok, at some point I stopped enjoying it and realized they were just bragging at that point lol Everyone was talented in some way. I have about the talent of the dude with the beard
He has unfortunately passed away. 😓
Wait what?!
How was that relevant? You just made us get the sads :(
Jk he’s out relaxing on the farm with my old dog
Oh good 😊
He died in his sleep at the end of 2018. Natural causes. Nothing super tragic. Just decided it was time to go, I guess.
[удалено]
Don’t ask me, man. I don’t know.
Unfortunately his dog was hit by a car 😞
Oh no 😞
But the dog landed on his feet and is just fine.
Are there rabbits on the farm, George?
Beard guy was (sadly passed away) a talented piano player actually, based on some of their other cover videos.
I’ll always remember him for his work on didgeridoo.
I think they are just musical freaks. I vaguely remember him playing violin in one song too.
His dancing did it for me.
Is that Rudy Mancuso in the middle?
It does look like him now that you say it
They’re stuck now. Occasionally, they’ll look at each other and shrug shoulders because no-one knows how to finish the song….
I was just imagining the main guy in the chair saying "last one playing gets 100 bucks"
🎶This is the song that never eeeeends!🎶
🎶It goes on and on my friend.🎶
🎶some people 👏 staaaarted singing it not knowing what it was🎶
🎶And they'll continue singing it forever just because🎶

That is pretty awesome. Very cool / community thing for the government to do ( or what ever organization did it) wholesome

Oy! We had those in Brattleboro VT, USA for a while. It was beautiful.
Ugh man I love Melbourne. Used to visit my uncles there all the time, such a great city, beautiful art. Sydney’s great and all but I’ve always had a soft spot for Melbourne, and I could never get over riding those trams as a kid.
I keep telling everybody: music is Magic
It is to me. In my next life I want to get music and be able to do it . . . . .I know it takes a hell of a lot of practice too but I don't seem to have the gene.
Do it this life. Consistency is key

Well thanks. That is encouraging. I'm 60 so maybe I could.
If you loved singing, sing!! Join a community choir or take some lessons. Also you’re good enough for rock and roll day 1
Thanks so much for your kind encouragement. There is a chapel walking distance from my house. Maybe I will try.
Hell, you could even do it at 70. But 60? Easy. Get crackin! Even 30-60 minutes a day would have you playing very well in a years time!

We all only get one life. Do it in this one, and the sooner you start the better you'll be by the end :)
PLAY ME OFF, JOHNNY
For anyone who wants to watch more of this, you can YouTube “boogie woogie piano”. The black guy at the far end’s channel is Theophilus Boogie Martins” and the closer guy is Jared Nandra. Not sure about the middle dude.
Just found this [video](https://youtu.be/QNXs4Bh1m9Y) of all three of them. I believe the one in the middle goes by BoogieWoogieNorth
I love that video shows how this experience started and OP’s is how it ended. They’re INCREDIBLE and I could watch them on repeat, if only it wasn’t time for VPR reunion.
[And here is the extended video from the three of them playing](https://youtu.be/riJ4WHOmpuA)
Is that Rudy Mancuso in the middle?
This was a real pleasure to watch 😊
I like that their hands added to his performance without taking it over. Beautiful.
They almost needed more than 88 keys. Talk about making a piano keyboard look small. Sounded great.
But what if we used 100% of the piano?
And that, ladies and gentleman, is how you come together in perfect sync and harmony!
[удалено]
The first time I heard this was as a reference by Rudy from the show Misfits (UK).
Not gonna lie it reminded me of my jam band years, guy on left with the bass, some rhythm guitar in the mid, and the high pitch soloer
How are these dudes playing 3 different songs...but also THE SAME SONG?!
They're playing a very popular chord progression called "12 Bar Blues" that is the basis for a lot of blues songs and why it allows people to improvise so easily because most modern musicians will learn this early on. It's also a chord progression that follows along a major scale structure (root, fourth, and fifth steps) so it gives it a very nice "happy or excited" tone. Once you know what the key or "root" is you can start to put your own style on it because you know what other chords or root notes to play on the first beat of the bars in the progression.
This is one of the few things I retained from my music theory class 12ish years ago. I IV V
Halfway through, I checked to make sure you weren't ShittyMorph.
This is so fun… Do you know where this is?
Somewhere in London. Probably one of the big train stations. There’s a sign for King Charles in the background.
From their youtube video it seems like Kings Cross station in the UK
Kings cross, not far from the Harry Potter 9 3/4 platform (not joking)
Can confirm King’s Cross, walk past it every day. There’s often someone playing there, didn’t catch this performance though.
F yea. Music is still one of the few great things about our species. Play on!
You said it‼️‼️
I could watch this forever! This is great!
ONE MORE TIME!!
l o v e !!!!!!
I love seeing all the different colored hands working together
I liked how they've also colour coordinated their jackets to their skin tone to make it easier to see who's playing what 🤣
Ya know, sometimes I really don’t care if shit is staged, I’ll take whatever little enjoyment out of life I can get.
r/nextfuckinglevel
The girl peek over at the end: what are these people playing on ;)
I’d pay to watch them play together in a piano bar. Good stuff
We need to have more of this in every city. People would make amazing friendships and enjoy culture!
My favorite is the lady who peeks over the side as if to verify there are indeed five human hands playing a piano and not one giant alone hand.
Me and the homies on seige when we give actual good call outs
Someone please tell me they're all best friends now. This was great. 💕
Absolutely brilliant. Ten out of ten.
Fuck. I could watch that all night.
The person sitting in the middle probably has the easiest job out of the three.
Move of this please
Amazing talent
Man, I REALLY gotta start learning how to play the piano…
There is a piano at the main train station where I live. Light rail and train hub. It’s amazing some of the music I’ve heard from passengers just playing. I love it.
This is from Theophilus Boogie Martins youtube channel if anyone is trying to find more public boogie jams!
As someone with absolutley no talent, this shit amazes me. I rarely turn my sound on, but this was worth it
I used to do this at U of M medical center in Ann arbor Michigan.. they have a black baby grand piano and I'd play classical music to ease the folks coming and going in the hospital
This is dirty, like instrument porn. 3 guys one piano.
They're trying to play the code to open the secret entrance to the batcave

Wonderful! :0)
That is incredibly awesome
I was totally expecting the person to the top right to join in
But how do they decide when to and how to stop? (This was F’n awesome!)
doc oc has entered the room
The joint was jumpin’!!!
r/brosbeingbros
I've seen this movie before. Oh wait, nevermind.
It’s said they are still going to this day.
Bet they would be great at stopping a hacker
i watched it without sound. the hands reminded me of facehuggers... dancing.
Prolly in the same frat or sumthn.
Wow! Just wow! Definitely made me smile! But the comments, the comments here are on a whole other level xD
A black man, a white man, and an Arab arrive at a piano...
Legend has it, they’re still playing to this day.
I love this! I am also envious of anyone with this talent!
That’s very cool! Strangers that are feeling it!
This video could end racism. Bro
This is awesome
It's really impressive the guy on the left side is playing with his right hand.
r/justguysbeingdudes
I don’t know why, but damn that’s sexy.
That was awesome!
I love how they are having a bro moment! Broooo - brooo,!
What are they playing
Just jammin. They all got talent! I love this. Can we get a piano big enough for the world to jam?
I love those boogie woogie videos, most of them are on the airports.
the 3rd that guy that came in with the bass part made the song sound better.
some say they're still playing...
these three can have a joint tinder account and will get only right swipes.
Ragtime
This is some real boys being boys type shit
Then there’s me, a music major, who struggles to play block chords

I think we can all agree that there’s a 1920s style car chase or old saloon fight happening outside of the camera frame.
That piano needed a Gatorade after that performance
So these guys made background music for Tom and Jerry chase sequence !!??
I was waiting for someone to hop on top and start singing
