Piano Cover
on: March 08, 2016, 02:27:11 AM
Can people give me feedback on this piano cover?

Trying to figure out what I did wrong and right. What techniques should I focus on to improve?
I know I played it fairly fast due to how long most people cover it.
Appreciate it if you check it out.

I'd work on pedaling more than anything else. You're getting a mushy sound; while a slightly blurry texture is sometimes desirable with this kind of music, it's over the top here.
Also work on balance between the hands. The bass line and melody are being played equally here, making the bass line overpowering when it's just outlining harmonies.

Thats what I've been told about the pedal. I don't know why I play it with every song no matter what, I just like the echo effect, but I agree I probably use it.
