I've been practicing the same solo piano composition for over six months and I still can't play it all the way through without making several mistakes. This morning I happened upon this Youtube video.

Well, as a rabbit with an average lifespan of only three years, you'd better get this figured out soon!

Did you see his Joined date?

He's well beyond his expiry date.

He missed a note.

And Pete, I've been playing for 46 years and still can't get all the notes right.

Don't give up.  

I hate child prodigies too...

(well, not really. But sorta.)

Holy crap!

Don't worry mr Rabbit- that kid has probably practices about ten times as much as you.


I like this GG one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB76jxBq_gQ

Yeah, just wait until his hands grow bigger and he discovers video games...

(I wonder if he can even play chopsticks?  Probably not.  )
 
Anyone else notice that it looks like he goes from being a little kid to suddenly transforming into someone channeling a professional pianist?  It almost doesn't look real...

Craig, I noticed his antics too.  I wonder how they ever get him to practice?  Or maybe he doesn't...

I also noticed how he kind of "zones" into the composition that he's playing as if there's some kind of transformation going on as Craig said. It's almost a bit eerie.
 
He does make a few mistakes but continues playing as if it never happened. As soon as I make a mistake I am compelled to stop playing and replay that part correctly before proceeding with the rest of the song, which makes the mistake even more noticeable to anyone listening. I am also compelled to shout expletives whenever I hit a wrong note. I don't mean to, it just happens.

Apparantly he has a gift. Sadly I do not have that same gift.

Practice smactrice, something else is definitely going on.

I feel like a idiot next to this 5 year old kid.
