Martin Leung VGP ?
on: January 31, 2006, 10:35:45 AM
Hey

Some of you might hate him, Some of you may love him. Well love him or hate him this man is the king at improv. Who has heard him improvise? He can listen to any tune he has never heard and just play it, many people can also do this but this guy is the king, theres something about his playing.

What do you guys think?

Got some recordings of his banana phone and simpsons, they are just.... wow!!!!!!

lol whatever!! ;D

Yeah, when he still did those live internet broadcasts, you just had to let him hear a tune, no matter what tune, and he played it immediately, very impressive. Someone once let him hear the Mortal Kombat intro tune song and he played it and improvised all kinda other famous stuff between it, that was very cool!

Yea i heard a couple from hi slive internet performences. His Old McDonald improv is classic  ;D

Its nothing in comparison to Cziffra's improv but Marting Lung is still young and has many years to inprove his impressive talent of improvisation.
