Let's hope he can get the timing of the Mario 1 overworld song properly.

Much better, but I think he needs to get over the whole "blindfolded" thing. (And doing the one-up chime is awesome)

Leon: Uh, no, He's right. He's off time on a good deal of time (especially with the lower notes), not nearly as noticeable as the first two videos, so it's not that big a deal.
BTW, here's a sound clip of a bassist and a drummer doing the mario theme.

I don't watch a lot of pianists in action, but I have to say that was dman impressive.

Since when does stating technical issues of someone else mean that you yourself can do better? I can notice the fact that he has timing issues but I can barely do a basic major triad chord on a piano without taking all day.

I agree that he made a few mistakes, but saying he doesn't have a good sense of rhythm is the overstatement of the century.

I wouldn't say he's got a "OMFG BAD SENSE OF RHYTHM" but he really should work on getting the timing down right before worrying about blazing through the songs.

But the fact that he kept the beat most of the time does. He wasn't so far off to say he doesn't have a good sense of rhythm.Tre said:

I agree with you, not with the guy that said he's "probably got a bad sense of rhythm."Tre said:It doesn't matter, the point still stands

I was mostly talking about the SMB overworld theme. There were still issues on other ones, but they were faster songs so it was harder to notice. It's always easier to keep a rhythm if it's faster, the SMB theme is not only slower but doesn't really have a constant "backbeat" part, so that tune is where his true skill (and any lack thereof) in keeping time was shown. On other ones like the underwater theme he does much much better, reason most-likely being because his left hand has something constant going that keeps him on track.
What I said is very subjectively interpreted, I'm not saying he's incompetent or anything. And saying he doesn't have a good sense of rhythm is not saying that he has a bad sense of rhythm, just that he has some ways to go. I'm a musician (guitar) and I've had a good amount of experience playing with pianists. I can tell by the way this guy plays that if we were to play together, he would need to listen to me in order to keep his time. He would be able to do so, so he doesn't have bad rhythm, but he probably doesn't have good rhythm if he can't keep it by himself. Very much like my earlier days where I could only play songs on guitar that had my arm in constant motion.
Don't overstate my critiques and understate my praises just because you are very impressed by his performence. I've been doing music for a long time and stuff REALLY stands out to me (lets just say I almost always agreed with Simon 100%). In music generally you don't just want to do it right, but you want it to be so natural to you that you can even subtly add in your own personality and feeling to it. Music without feeling is like food without seasoning, it may get the job done but I'm not going to praise it a whole lot. Technical skill shows your hard work, but it doesn't show your gift.

It's a relative term, maybe people like Simon would say that he's doesn't have a good sense of rhythm, but most others wouldn't
Very nice! There were a few mistakes but hearing those 1-up sounds (not to meniton the song at 9:15, one of my favorite mario tunes, thats some crazy shit with with his hands) I'm willing to overlook any of that. Makes me want to learn how to play the piano so I could do some stuff like that.
Love the SMW stuff, that game had some great music.

I agree with some of the others, this guy is kinda fun to listen to, but he really does need to work on his timing. I don't play the piano, but that doesn't mean that I can not keep a beat, or sense bad timing. His is going a great just but his timing is very inconsistant. He needs a metronome
