You basically sit in the same harmonic framework for the entire duration. Where is this improvisation going? What are you trying to say with it? It's actually tiring to the ears. Considering your statements on not needing to know music theory and blah blah, I'm not surprised to find this to be the case.
Overall it sounds like something I might hear in a doctor's office waiting room, or elevator, or watching the Weather Channel.
Also apropos, given your attitude:
Yeah, the harmonic framework on the chords is same that in the blues music. Only the pattern is different than normally. The improvisation comes from the melodies played by the right hand. The right hand plays only the hexatonic scale, on where is played all the solos in metal/rock, which normally are the best part of the song!
Even if you had played thousand of different chords in your improvisation song, it wouldn't make better the improvisation itself if there isn't any melody created. You can find thousands of songs of this kind on Youtube. You just have been taught what is "real" music and you also have learned it unconsciously. When you can hear the harmonies from the classical music, you automatically see it more as "real music". Everything is just learning in the life. Human beings are like biological computers. Those who have been listening jazz/blues/rock/heavy are more likely to like my songs.
Check a moderate improvisation on Youtube and then ask the same question. If you listen carefully, and try not to set your brain as a limit for listening, you can see that in a moderate improvisation there's not much melody at all. Only scales/chords played up and down. If some melody can be found, normally they are variations of some known pieces.
I didn't say you don't need to know anything about music theory. If you read the posts again what I wrote about that, maybe you can get it. At this point please use your brain.
About that picture you posted: I'm not telling I'm the only conscious person on the planet. Can you even realize that in depth? It's totally ego based idea what it is reflecting, everyone of those see the other
as they want to see. They can't get into others mind, so they want to think they are the only one who can understand.
There are many layers on this issue. If you can't understand how you work by yourself, how you could understand others? Even by posting a picture like that and telling it's my attitude, you are just telling about your self. When you really get in the level where you really understand things, you are not anymore acting like the people on the picture. You don't anymore care about others and criticize them even at the level of thought.
Can you see the layers on this issue?
1: You are one with a head full of fog and don't even think about those things.
2: You are one who thinks he's conscious enough and the others not. This is actually same than the first one if you think it more deeply.
3: You know the others do whatever they do and don't care about (criticize) it even at the level of thought. And this is again close to the first one... Just going with the head full of fog.
Only the perspective changes, the ego takes only a different form. Quite paradoxical I think.
I think you have a really "real" and positive outlook, which other people are misinterpreting as being delusional/arrogant. People seem to think famous pianists are godlike and exist on a whole different plane just because they're good enough to be well known. I guess the fact that you don't is aggravating.
The things you have posted may be opinionated/provocative, but I don't think they're dishonest about your ability (being one of those all talk sc*mbags). There are people who mislead themselves and others about their skills, but I don't think you're one of them.
This is probably what I think the most. If I bought a grand piano, wear a dress suit and played classical harmonic scales (or cover songs) with a very moderate touch (or a moderate arrangement) and without much melody, people would love it. Oh, also a full hd video resolution and edited properly.
Now when it is only VGA resolution, and I play with "wrong" harmonies/patterns, anything else doesn't matter anymore. As I said, you could get hundreds of thousands of hits and subscribers with bad cover songs... This is how the human brain works.
If one day I would be "world's best pianist", automatically then those my two first songs would be something incredible for anyone. Anyone would swear he can hear my genius in those songs. You see and hear what you want to see and what you have taught.
If the "incredible improvisation pianists" on Youtube really were incredible, they would do hundreds of those incredible improvisations. Now when they really can't improvise in reality, there are only one "incredible improvisation".
Tenk has been the only one to highlight the 'structure' of the piece presented..
With the first link provided, the LH is on a 2 bar loop.. using Fminor7 (iv) Gminor7 (v) and Cminor7 (i)…Takes about 8 seconds. repeats (pretty much exactly) for 24 times to so.. To compound this, the rh is pretty constrained in what it does as well...
Though being unaware of this, doesn't mean it is not (doggedly) there.
P-man… you may benefit from someone bothering to mention this.. You might look into some basic theory, if for nothing else, but to be aware from a 'literary' sense of what you are doing.
good luck..
Yes I already know this all. As said, the chords are same than in the blues music but the pattern is different and pretty simple. I will do songs with different patterns, but I like very much that one I use now. From the picture below you can see the most common patterns for the blues music.
I wouldn't say the right hand is constrained at all... Not in either of those my two songs. There can be found thousands of (classical) songs which are very, very constrained compared to those. I really believe that you only want to see it as constrained at this point.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-bar_bluesBTW: For me it seems that this all is some kind of threat to the classical music for some of you. Of course I was provoking at the beginning to get attention, and here's the result. A lot of debate, which is good. I think that this is the best start to start conquer the world
