Shining Silhouette he/him Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I love piano, piano guys, and cello! My parents went to see a show of theirs when I was younger and showed me their recordings when they got home and I was completely hooked. I love playing their music on cello and piano. One of my closest friends is a violinist/pianist so we switch off playing piano/string instrument (with the cello part transposed for violin). It's tons of fun 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted June 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I wanted to play the cello after I saw the cello wars video and I was hooked. My parents got a Jon Schmidt book that teaches how to play the piano and I flew through that pretty fast. 9 minutes ago, Shining Silhouette said: I love playing their music on cello and piano.

Do you have a third friend that plays piano because if you did you could play some songs that the piano guys play with Lindsey Sterling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat he/him Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) The Piano Guys are awesome! I've played piano for nine years, and All of Me is probably my favorite thing to play. I learned it about two years ago and I've literally played it hundreds of times. Waterfall is also really fun, and Perfect and Million Dreams are both good arrangements. I have the piano sheet music book for the album Limitless and have played through the ones where the cello isn't the melody (These include North Cape, First Dance, the others I mentioned, probably one I'm forgetting). Outside of the piano guys, I really like playing covers of songs in general, specifically from movies. There are some really talented people on YT that I usually buy sheet music from (Favorites: Francesco Parrino, Samuel Ramos, Kyle Landry, Magnus Baumgartl, Patrik Pietschmann). I'd definitely recommend you check them out, if not to play then just to listen to. But also to play. Classical style, Chopin is far and away my favorite. I haven't played much Rachmaninoff but I've liked what I have played. I could do without Bach as a general rule. I appreciate it, but... too technical for me :P. That's just the surface, I could talk about piano forever xD It's basically my favorite thing, ever. More so than the cosmere, easily.

EmulatonStromenkiin he/him Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I enjoy Piano guys, but cannot play an instrument. I can sing, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash's_eyes she/her Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I love the Piano Guys and all things piano! I've played the piano for almost 6 years. I finished learning Clair de Lune recently, and I'm now learning Moonlight Sonata. I haven't played any of the Piano Guy's stuff, but I have several of their books. I want to learn their songs eventually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still working on learning their music on cello first as I have more experience with the cello, but I am working to learn them on piano. Glad to have another person who loves the piano here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lego Mistborn he/him Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 Official notice that the Tubists' Guild supports the Piano Guys Club as part of @The Wandering Wizard's retirement. Also, I personally think the piano guys are a great group. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly unrelated, but anyone else here into composition/improvisation/arranging or anything like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spren of Kindness she/her Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 I've teared up to their arrangement of Story of My Life. I quite enjoy Arwen's Song as well! Lots of their other works, but those two stand out. I play piano! I don't understand the theory behind what I'm doing very much, but I can read the music, so I'm doing something right. I've played a lot of soundtrack music, and a lot of romantic, classical and baroque pieces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted June 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 I'd probably have to say Cello wars as that got me into playing the cello or Kung Fu Panda: Cello Ascends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
