On this channel I pride myself with the best piano covers and arrangements of pop culture on the entire internet, whether through artistic arranging, skilled technique or sound quality. If it's uploaded, it's one of the best!
A little about me, I started arranging hymns while serving a 2-year mission for my church years ago, and that's what started my love of arranging music. It translated into other genres I enjoy, and now I want to share them with the world. My dream one day would be to just focus on music rather than adding the necessity of working a 9-5. I also would like to go on a date with Lindsey Stirling one day :D

Dungeon - The Legend of Zelda (NES) Piano Cover
Full Legend of Zelda (NES) Soundtrack for Piano: ruclips.net/video/y8rYjeGQosU/видео.html
I love this theme! A simple repetitive theme with some chromaticism with a dash of syncopation and that's all it takes to make a masterpiece. This theme also makes cameos in other entries of the series such as the Color Dungeon in Link's Awakening and Bass Practice in Majora's Mask. You all voted on a recent poll that I should include the theme from Bass Practice in my upcoming Complete Majora's Mask Medley; should I include this from the Bass Practice theme?

The Piano Medley Made Particularly for Under Appreciated Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Music
Просмотров 3,1 тыс.14 дней назад
Knocked out so many covers with this medley! I only have two more Majora's Mask left before I've completed the entire soundtrack! It was fun to play all these tracks, but it was not easy recording everything in one session. My phone ran out of memory, so I had to clear up my phone while it was mounted. These clips were not done together in one continuous take, I'm definitely too mistake prone. ...

Almost done with the Majora's Mask OST! I just have a couple more covers to go! I was dreading learning this particular track for years now, but after I got it down it ended up being a lot of fun despite the dissonance. Some of the timing is difficult, but I tried my best. Some repeated are not really humanly possible, but once again I tried my best. On a couple of occasions I removed some phan...

Even though this cover is a minute long, this cover was such a pain to record! I don't know if was all the unorthodox tritone chordal patterns or what. And it took forever to get the ti...
Majora's Mask Battle Medley - The Legend of Zelda Piano Cover
Просмотров 3,7 тыс.Месяц назад
Majora's Mask. One of the most unsettling iconic themes and leitmotifs of the Nintendo 64. This game was an incredible part of my childhood, and pushed the limits of creativity of game development. Majora's theme was essential to that unsettling, traumatizing, yet enchanting ambiance of the game. Majora's theme is played out in three variations, or even rather personalities in the final boss fi...

Full Legend of Zelda (NES) Soundtrack for Piano: ruclips.net/video/y8rYjeGQosU/видео.html Classic NES theme, but to be honest to me the music sounds slightly out of place for a LoZ ending theme... but the Legend of Zelda series was still discovering itself. Don't get me wrong I love this catchy tune! Not a very long cover, but I go through it once as written and then jazz it up with some of my ...

Onward with more Majora's Mask! I do a little showing off of my leaping ability, especially my left hand. Does it deserve the "but it's a little much.." title? I'm kind of torn on this one. Let me know in the comments. Learning covers you discover so much about the nuances of your childhood music, and wow there is a lot of syncopation! The second time through I add even more to give it that rag...

It's been awhile since I covered something from childhood fan favorite Banjo-Kazooie! This cover was not easy at all to be honest, but it sure was fun when I got the hang of it! I know I haven't uploaded much recently, I have been pretty busy. My Majora's Mask covers aren't ready yet, but I'm making progress. I might start doing more Banjo-Kazooie on the side since the music is so much fun! Did...
Clock Town - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask Piano Duet With Myself!

Clock Town! Another Majora's Mask theme down! For this arrangement I combined and fused the Title Theme and actual Clock Town theme together because I didn't want to two very similar covers. In this arrangement the key ingredients feature all 3 different variations of Clock Town, with a dash of Sun's Song and Majora's Mask theme. Listen until well done. I am aware I have some slight timing issu...

Appa! Yip yip! The live action remake gives me a great reason to do a piano medley for probably the best cartoon ever made. Such an incredible story, unmatched character development, with wonderful animation and creativity. Of and course, memorable music and themes that give you that dopamine hit! I chose what themes to include in this medley from polling my subscribers! I think I included them...
Super Mario Bros. Ultimate Piano Medley

My first piano cover in the synthesia/tutorial style was Kyle Landry's arrangement of the Super Mario theme three and a half years ago. Three and a half years later, I finally completed the iconic games soundtrack. I can't believe it took me that long to get around to it! It's fascinating just to see the changes in editing from my first video to my most recent one, all compiled in this medley! ...

This has been one of my most requested covers, and one I have been wanting to do for a long time. There are some more popular covers I want to nail it out of the park, it and this was one of them. I started practicing it in early 2021, but I never could settle on an arrangement I was satisfied with. Finally starting a month ago, it started coming together in a way the I was excited to share wit...

Hopefully your New Year's countdown in a couple days is a little more blissful than the countdown this music references to. New beginnings versus end of the world eh? Just a little different, but I was onboard with the theme of countdowns! 😅 For 2024 my new year's resolution is to finish the soundtrack of Majora's Mask! I think that's extremely doable. I also included 'Calling the Four Giants' ...

You're honestly so underrated. Please keep making content.
Your wish is my command 🫡
Fuck yeah, I just learned this song. It’s really fun when you incorporate the low G on the bass hand
The Best Zelda ever made !
So many of you have that opinion 🤔
Excellent as always ❤
Do you use sheet music or is memory because I’m learning this by watching this video 😅
Check the description!
@@RyanZPianoGuy Thanks 😊
i would go to a concert just to see you play this live. amazing.
I would go to a concert just to play this live. However each of these videos are the results of countless outtakes riddled with mistakes 😅 I’m not sure if I would be able to play all this live unfortunately, but I am grateful for your kind hypothetical scenario:)
This is my favorite cover of any Legend of Zelda music. It's just perfect. I've lost count of how many times I've listened to it, yet it still feels as epic as the first time. Is the sheet music for this exact arrangement available anywhere?
There is not, I’m sorry. All the embellishing was done by ear! However I do appreciate your kind words.
@RyanZPianoGuy Wow! 😲 Does that mean this was an improvisation? Or did you practice and just commit it to memory rather than paper as you went? I'm learning to play the piano (one year into it), so this would be interesting/useful information 🤓
Practiced and committed to memory!
@RyanZPianoGuy That's amazing 🥲 I'm probably nowhere near ready to play this, but one day I will! 🙌🏼 Even if I have to write the sheet music myself! 😅 In all seriousness, this is a beautiful arrangement, and you're amazing. Thank you for your gift to the world, especially to Zelda fans 🙇🏽♂️
😮 outstanding
Such a triumphant cover!
The legacy of undertake lives on. I just like the music for how it is. To be honest, I haven't actually played the game for several years. The last time I played it was 7th grade or something.
I’m hoping to revisit some more Undertale soon
Ahhh it's the horse race!!
‘Tis indeed 🐴 😊
My dad recently died and that’s about the same time I stopped playing on piano. I guess this was the only thing that could heal him from his sorrow. What a great man this song just reminds me of me and him acting stupid in the forest, swinging sticks and making dens
Sorry for your loss. I appreciate you sharing your sentiment, best to you mate 🙏🏼
In dreams is so beautiful
I love how it turned out!
@@RyanZPianoGuy ikr! Such good lyrics too, especially that last line being a reference to bilbos book :)
Masterful, as usual! I love your love for Majora's Mask. 🧡🧡🧡 I played a game with myself here to identify each piece without looking... The only one I messed up was 'Sharp's Curse', as I accidentally saw the text introducing it when I was checking to see if I was right on 'Ballad of the Windfish'.
I really do appreciate your recognition for the love of this game 😊 and thanks for sharing that fun anecdote! Sounds like your are cultured human yourself
@RyanZPianoGuy I was surprised you didn't include the song from the horse race against the Gorman brothers, though maybe I shouldn't be surprised since that song is originally from Ocarina of Time; and I can't expect you to include EVERYTHING, like the jam session with Japas. 😅 Thank you for playing. 🧡 For the longest time, my favorite Zelda game was A Link to the Past, but when I played Majora's Mask, I instantly fell in love, and it has been my top favorite ever since. I can't count how many times I've played it, how many hours I've spent happily poking around everywhere I possibly can in that beautiful world, drinking in all that it offers... I savor it every time. Anyone with ears to hear can recognize your obvious love and respect for this marvelous game, especially when they feel the same way. Hearing you play these songs so beautifully makes my heart swell with joy and gives me an itch to play it again. I will scratch this itch, gladly.
@@Piffle88 the feeling about the game is mutual ☺️ and I simply did not include other covers, for example the horse race because I’ve already covered it in Ocarina of Time. But don’t worry I’ll include it in the complete soundtrack coming up 😊
There are some really beautiful moments in this, and I love the way you ended it!
Thank you 😊 I’m really pleased with how it turned out!!
very well done my friend. please do more zelda like this.
Coming soon to a screen near you 👀
Nice one and amazing cover! You have skills, but I think you made it a bit more complex than the original.
I did 😅
Beautiful
AMAZING
What a performance!!
WHY DO I HEAR JOJO BIZZARE ADVENTURE SIXTH SEASON THEME WHAT THE F
Seriously this touches the heart so much. What a beautiful, beloved melody and again, you truly capture the essence of these songs. What's more is that you add your own touch to them, giving it renewed life. It's even better than the nostalgia. This melody makes me think about the constant struggle of them repeating through time, never growing or changing but an infinite loop. It's sad but beautiful in its own wonderful way. Because even if it's a repeated struggle, it's one we love because what the journey means to us all. Cheers man.
Thanks, I greatly appreciate everything you have said. Cheers.✌🏼
You all have made a difference with your kind words. Thank you!
HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME
This is so soothing to me. All of my favorite songs. Thanks, person or Thank you, person
I’m glad you enjoy them 😊 hope you like Majora’s Mask because I should be coming out it’s version in a month or two
Here we are again with another banger upload from the most underrated channel on RUclips. Keep it up king 🙏
Your wish is my command 🫡
my words are useless. you play the piano very well, but it's sad why you have few subscribers :(
Yeah I haven’t been particularly blessed by the RUclips algorithm, but that’s ok :)
When the music is so good it sets your soul free. Thank you, your love for this music is felt greatly. You've captured the soul of this and truly expressed it for all to hear, feel and see.
Appreciate you sharing that with me:)
Well I appreciate you first. Lol! Cheers my dude, may you shine in all you do.
@@Ryan-gw3yv 😆😊
love how you're not afraid to change the original version and create your own spin on it. It's nice to hear the song I've heard countless times arranged in a refreshing way that keeps the same formula of the original piece while being different at the same time. I also enjoyed some of the leitmotifs you put in like the opening to OOT. Wasn't expected but fit well ^^
I like mixing it up a bit! But you’d be surprised how many people are against that. A couple days ago someone commented my cover of Song of Storms was terrible because I changed it up and strayed from the original 😕
Killing it with the Legend of Zelda covers my friend, this is incredible
I can keep going 👊🏼
Very excellent! This is of the same quality of the ALBW official OST, if not higher!
I consider that high praise!
@@RyanZPianoGuy I hope you do, it was a great cover as always!
I wish you could get your covers on Spotify or Tidal, that would be incredible.
Yeah but copyright issues 🤷🏼♂️
Reminiscent of the Swedish Radio Orchestra Zelda medley. Slower, menacing tempo is clearly the way to go. Well done!
Got a lot of inspiration from that!
The Z in his name stands for Zelda
Really clean performance btw
@@mt2r-musicAppreciate it! Always look forward to hearing from you!
@@RyanZPianoGuy and I look forward to hear you play haha
Beautiful transition at 0:38! Amazing job!
Thank you 😃
Always loved how eerie yet relaxing parts of this song felt. Great job! 👍
Yeah it’s quite the dynamic!
Thank you so much; I just stubmed on this! Life is hard, but this tune makes it feel like everything is ok
Best song i've heard in a while
musicalbasics/we are one (other piano channel) needs to learn from you. in a lot of his takes, he leaves those inaudible notes in the midi so the synthesia overlay looks messy a lot of the time. i appreciate you for taking the time and effort to take those out of your recording to make it clearer
also i just gotta say 0:33 was so clean holy shit you played this amazingly
Yeah it drives me nuts when the synthesis looks unnecessarily messy, so it means a lot to me that you appreciate that practice! 🎹
Sensational sir. Goes right through you❤
Thank you so much for made this piece for us. It’s an honor be listening this in 2024. Such an amazing work btw ❤🌹🌹 I was born in 1998 so basically I grew up with these games 😊🥰🫶
Absolutely my pleasure 🤗
Holy shit. That's all I have to say.
Your Gerudo Valley is unbelievable, well freaking done my man
Thanks my guy 👊🏼
If only I had four hands, then I could play this piece.
If only
Man, why can we feel something called music? Koji Kondo really made it feel like it's depressing... Did you somehow remixed at the end of the Final Hours part?
It’s strange to think certain combinations of wavelengths make our emotions react in different ways. And yes I added that in at the end:)
You're so fast with your hands what the hell??? 😎
After :40, Bowser slams the piano cover on Kamek’s fingers and demands him to find out who Mario is and walks away. Kamek: May I lift the cover? Bowser: Not yet. Pain is the best teacher.
Genuinely one of the piano performances I’ve heard
Genuinely one of the piano performances I’ve played

dude, I have never heard anything like this, I know it's just a cover but it sounds so unique and beautiful
Thank you 🫡
