Not as easy on the eyes as Pomplamoose, but if this guy releases an album I'm getting it. Fantastic arrangement of my favorite Stevie Wonder song:

And how about this, no vox, just a beautiful piano version of In My Room:

This kid has a bunch of videos on EweTube, I've never heard of him before! :scared-eek: Will be checking others out over the next week or so.

Nice! Quite talented, indeed.

Here, he answers some questions from the internet; most of them are pretty basic but I did learn that the human voice's overtones form a major chord, which I did not know.
But, at 10:00 or so, he demonstrates polyrhythms, 3 beats/measure with one hand and 5 b/m with the other (I used to be able to do 3 against 4, but just realized I lost that; the Police actually played that in Murder by Numbers). Then he demonstrates doing 5 polyrhythms with the fingers of one hand: 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 beats per measure, all at once. I'm nowhere near smart enough to know if he actually does it (I'd have to see a video synced to the sound, with transcription, to see it). Kid's an effin' monster!
