It took some time before I understood that this part of Dancing Mad is actually a remade version of Kefka's theme... When I did understand my brain melted. Just imagine what happened when I saw this guys vid!
I just learned the third movement of the Dancing Mad final battle all the way through by ear, but I can't even to *begin* to imagine how I'm going to learn the frenetic bassline of the left hand at the beginning of this! Watching your hands may help.
uhg... dancing mad is a lot more than just the final battle theme, its the WHOLE fight. not just where you fight kefka would love to hear this person play the full song
You are really good, I think this is the best cover I've seen. My friend and I are going to learn it but he'll be on bass guitar and me on keyboards. I recently learned the third movement of Dancing Mad.
I bought a song book for an electric piano this guy recently inspired me to buy. I noticed that instead of spanish (which is the normal second language instructions) it was japanese. Yamaha knows us much to well. =P
You know, funny story. I was actually attempting this song last year, but could never get past 0:22 found the rest impossible. I now have the insparation to play this song again. :D
I think that this keyboard is a Yamaha Cp33 This performance is the cleanest version that have ever listened from a youtube user, i really like this, nice job ;)
@malonbu It could be the quality of his recording. Seems to me that he got his connected but i might be wrong. So you might notice the bass being a little louder because all of it is recorded evenly through one output. But never the less. It's his version of the song. He can make it what he wants. Also he arranges lots of his songs louder then normal as in his sheets. But i mean. That's just the way he made it. Bigger cords, More notes, ect. To make it sound better. Makes it more challenging too
slow down this and the original version if you can't hear it, it was written somewhat dissonant...his left hand is doing the bass line from the original which sorta sounds like a bass guitar, his right hand is doing the melody, which sounds like a percussive (?) organ or something in the original
Thank you for that wonderful comment. I hope that people voting down on it does not discourage you from sharing such knowledge in the future. For me, at least, it added a lot of meaning to the music and I'll keep what you said in mind the next time I play this. Cheers!
@MrAvengersAssemble Asians are known to be naturally talented. If you think about it, the great pianists were classical artists. Nowadays, most of the best composers for video game sounds and other things like this are all Asian, mostly Japanese , lots of good composers there. Uematsu is a great one as a point. I'm Asian and I don't play the piano good, I fit most of the video gaming stereotypes though.So you're right. He's good because he's dedicated. (and being Asian helps too ;o)
Either you are so good that cameras can barely catch you, or you sped up the video, removed frames, and generally used camera tricks to make you look better. If you DID play that though, you are a god.
I think it's counting measures for the keyboard recording. It doesn't correspond to his playing at all, but it doesn't need to. He just wants to record it for audio instead of just using the camera, which would sound worse.
Lord Keftka is my favourite villan in the FF series, and you played this part of Dancing Mad really well! :) Can you play the whole song for us? Lord Keftka would be so proud but then he would kill you afterwords! Keftka forever!!! :)
This song sounds very familiar I've never played FF6 but I've played all the FF after that one... maybe it's in some other also? I was almost sure I've heard this somewhere else specially at 1:47 Or maybe it just sounds simillar to some song I've heard before...
@MistressMareth: Actually it's his final boss theme (and only the epic 4th movement of the rest of the epicness that it is) but otherwise you were pretty much completely and entierly right. Great job with the playing Faint1pulse. 6/5 ... Yes, I'm giving it one more point than physically possible, so what? It seriously deserves it.
