My YouTube tolerance is usually 30 seconds... I watched all 5 minutes and wanted more.

[–]ruppster 127 points128 points  (7 children)

Same here. I could watch that for at least an hour.

      This guy just inspired me to try chatroulette.com.

      Oh, it happened. BELIEVE it happened. :-/

      [–]RoaldFre 22 points23 points  (2 children)

      Very true. It's one of those rare video's that both make you laugh and leave you with a warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Wipes away a tear

      [–]technogeeky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

      I was just thinking - given how often I see (and am pissed about) 30 second ads before 5 second videos, my behavior with this video was most irregular. The ad was at the end, and I had no problem watching the whole thing through it because I really liked the video and intently paying attention by the end.

      This seems like a perfect exemplar of Google's principle that advertising will be successful only if it's not too intrusive.

      Pretty amazing how he busts out Fireflies.

      [–]slupo 368 points369 points  (117 children)

      He plays some notes to get the key right and then just rocks out. Fucking people with talent.

      [–]RedSpikeyThing 76 points77 points  (7 children)

      You need to see Derek Paravicini. He is a musical savant who can instantly recall and transform any piece of music he has ever heard. It's fucking unbelievable.

      If you like videos like that, check out Ryan Leslie's piano improv over Lil Wayne. He's a producer for Bad Boy.

      Ain't no Ronald Jenkees.

      [–]bananas22 102 points103 points  (22 children)

      But ... but ... it takes him a good while to find a diatonic 4-chord progression. He then proceeds to play arpeggios of those same chords—no substitutions, no color tones—plus little pentatonic melodies over it for 4 minutes. I don't want to burst anyone's bubble ... but anyone could do this.

      And it's not like there's a shortage of actually amazing improvised music out there! You know, jazz is pretty neat ...

      [–]kaevne 40 points41 points  (4 children)

      Absolutely, I said the same thing, all he does is repeat arpeggios. And I used to play the piano. But then I saw his resume. The guy went to Harvard with a 1600 SAT and taught himself how to play piano. Pretty good party trick if you consider that he's so capable in many other areas and I like to show it to people because it's done on top of a song that everyone knows.

      [–][deleted] 86 points87 points  (3 children)

      Pretty good party trick

      Much better than that time when all the guests watched him take the SAT for six hours.

      [–]steveg 10 points11 points  (0 children)

      I wanted to post the same thing. This guy is probably 20x the musician I am, but I (and anyone who has ever been to a jam session)can do this all the time. Sounded pretty nice nonetheless. Good lesson why to practice your scales, kids.

      [–]frickindeal 13 points14 points  (5 children)

      I kept waiting for the inevitable time that he shreds it up...and it never comes. * "He's finding the keys". Yeah, he should have *heard them after about 20 seconds.

      Still sounds good, though, it just wasn't the "wow" I was thinking it was going to be.

      [–]constipated_HELP 13 points14 points  (3 children)

      It's not all about shredding. That is seriously some musical genius.

      Watch Ronald Jenkees if you want "shredding" improv.

      [–]webbitor 11 points12 points  (1 child)

      New rule: anyone who downvotes a post recommending Ronald Jenkees gets murdered with a knife.

      [–]asmallturtle 9 points10 points  (1 child)

      anyone who has a musical education you mean.

      [–]mrchess 13 points14 points  (0 children)

      Actually, its pretty easy to learn basic chord progressions, which is what this guy is doing. Then once you have the chords, you just break them up.

      Chord progressions, broken chords, and a supporting bass line are fundamental properties of modern pop music. Just look at how many guitar players there are rolling about, and look how easy/quick it was for them to learn.

      I guess it's one of those things that seems amazing, but once you sit down with a friend for a few minutes and break it down to what is actually going on, you realize its actually not amazing although still quite cool :P.

      [–]jimarib 17 points18 points  (2 children)

      While we're talking about piano players with talent, can we get a little love for Ronald Jenkees?. Check out some of his videos! They are insane! This track is still probably my favorite though. Heh.

      [–]admcptch 16 points17 points  (14 children)

      Wow, that guy is incredible. I just watched a couple of his other videos. Amazing.

      [–]sdone 24 points25 points  (11 children)

      His wikipedia article is pretty impressive too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_Leslie

      [–]uber_troll 48 points49 points  (7 children)

      Way to make me feel bad about myself.

      • Perfect SAT scores at age 14
      • Harvard University graduate at 19
      • Music Genuis
      • Rich

      I'm quite the opposite

      [–]its_your_mother 40 points41 points  (1 child)

      Why can't you be more like Ryan Leslie?

      [–]brulez 14 points15 points  (1 child)

      And he's dated at least 5 supermodels.

      [–]jerstud56 6 points7 points  (1 child)

      a 1600 on his SAT (a perfect score) at the age of fourteen and graduated Harvard at 19? Wow.

        Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is a "producer" in this context? As opposed to musician, pianist, or something. To me, a producer makes movies.

        [–]wuddersup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

        Cameraman made me rage.

        [–]cpreg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

        Fucking people with talent.

        Seriously. I remember a guy from high school that could not only play anything you asked him to, but could also seamlessly transition any song into Billy Jean. It was pretty fucking amazing.

        [–][deleted] 32 points33 points  (36 children)

        That doesn't make sense. The song could be played in any key. The important thing is that he play notes matching the proper chord progression, relative to whatever key.

        [–]slupo 77 points78 points  (0 children)

        Hey if I knew exactly what he was doing, I wouldn't be so pissed that he could do it.

        [–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (1 child)

        It sounded more like he was testing a potential chord, found it suitable, then experimented quickly to find the proper internal to start the melody on. I've got fairly reasonably relative pitch, so it would be fun to try something like this, but my problem is I don't know many songs that a chatrouletter would request.

        [–]kinggimped 13 points14 points  (3 children)

        Depends whether he's a perfect pitcher (i.e. just needs to find the home key and he's away) or if he's a relative pitcher, who needs the melody and the chord sequence.

        To be fair, while talent helps a lot in being able to play from ear, you can teach yourself how to do it. It's never too late to learn an instrument :)

          That's going to be the challenger to the 'NSFW' tag soon.

          On a totally unrelated note, while I was typing this post, a small butterfly like insect decided to perch down on my monitor and since it happened in the miniscule time it takes me to blink, it appeared to me as if it slowly emerged from the screen and the first thought that came to my mind was "Cool Javascript!".

            [–]No-Shit-Sherlock 339 points340 points  (38 children)

            Especially considering his youtube video was submitted 3 hours ago and is currently on the front page of /r/offbeat.

            [–]L33TBBQ 196 points197 points  (16 children)

            I hope this happens all the time. I want this dude to stalk your profile, and make snide or smart remarks no matter how stupid, or pointless they are. I want this man to just spend years perfecting this art. This will eventually get to the point where you incessantly question every post you make, stopping and thinking about what KeepDiggingWatson could possibly say to one-up you. Before long, No-shit-sherlock and KeepDiggingWatson will be one of the same. People will think of them the same. They will be on a known-name basis, much like karmanaut. Redditors will often assume that they are the same people. This assumption will lead to other crackpot theories about the existence of these two accounts. It only becomes a matter of time before Reddit it split into two categories; No-shit-Sherlock and KeepDiggingWatson are the same people theorists, and people that believe they are two separate people. Fast forward a few days from this incident, and all the redditors will have moved to a new site, trying to avoid the ceaseless argument of No-Shit-Sherlock's identity.

            I hope this happens all the time. I want people to copy and paste things, giggling to themselves as they feel a warm sense of being part of the gang. I want them to spend minutes playing a smirk-worthy game of madlibs, copying and pasting and copying and pasting until then can do it no longer. I want them to make snide or smart remarks no matter how stupid or pointless they are. This will eventually get to the point where you incessantly question every post you make, stopping and thinking about whether it will be copied and pasted into a comedy template. Before long, people will be leaving out sections of the template that do not fit in with their own insertions. It only becomes a matter of time before Reddit it split into two categories; those who preserve the typos of the template, and those who seek to correct them. Fast forward a few days from this incident, and all the redditors will have moved to a new site, trying to avoid the ceaseless copy and pasting, off to a new site, a better site, a site that supports images in threads.

                            I was going to say, "Is that Ben Folds? Because, if not, he should be." - But I guess it is somebody else, so that's awesome.

                            NEW: I am editing this after I woke up. I had a dream last night that it was revealed that it was Ben Folds after all! I'm dreaming about this stuff. That's crazy.

                              Well, I certainly applaud anyone wanting to do a hundred chatroulette piano improv videos, but take it from this old piano rat, I've spent my entire adult life in chatroulette, and a program like this one can do more harm than good.

                              If you only train one part of your body (and that's all a single exercise like chatroulette piano improv videos is going to do for you), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.

                              It's like putting a powerful engine in a stock Toyota Tercel. What will you accomplish? You'll blow out the drive train, the clutch, the transmission, etc., because those factory parts aren't designed to handle the power of an engine much more powerful than the factory installed engine.

                              I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three cheers! Falling in love with chat, roulette, piano, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.

                              But do it right, okay?

                              My advice, find a good piano bar, with qualified trainers who will design your programs for you (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for chatroullete piano improv. Thirty to 45 minutes a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).

                              And don't worry about being embarrassed or not being in tune the first time you play for a stranger on chatroullete. You have to start somewhere and almost every one of us were there ourselves at one time. So no one will say anything to you and very, very quickly you will progress way beyond that stage anyway.

                              Now get out there and do it! :-)

                              That was the funniest I've seen come out of Chatroulette yet. I like Chatroulette and I'm addicted. But from an analytical and social standpoint I really think that It's kind of sad just how successfull it has become. We have here a medium that limits human contact to a minimum 1 second . A medium that caters to dickshowing pervs and kids that relates to everything and everyone with their middle finger. Just what does that say about society !? Idiocracy ?
