How hard is it to play the piano...

[MikeMike]

ok, so our school had our annual NHS variety show, some decent bands, some good bands, some funny skits. But what i know EVERYONE loved was a "band geek" who played the piano. it was fvcking insane he got a standing ovation. the song he played was Bumble Boogie and the thing was freaking fast as hell. does anyone know this song and the difficulty??

yea that was it. it was a piano solo only though no background, i cant tell yuo which piano line in there he played, but its the one that gets the solo partway through. was inSANE.

that version also sounds like a song that would be used in SimCity.

My favorite instrument is the piano...if I could, thats the instrument I'd learn to play.

the mc's also had a "real american heroes" skit, to the fanny pack wearer.

that was classic.

Meh. Also known as flight of the bumblebees.

Listen to this, Arcadi Volodos playing in interlocking octaves.

piano's hard. unless you're good, then it's easy.
