FAQ ABOUT MY PIANO ANTICS
Q: How long've you been playing?
A: Since I was practically a toddler.
Q: Where do you get your notes?
A: All my stuff's done by ear. I don't have the patience to read notes
Q: Can you put your songs into sheet music?
A: I mmmmmmay get around to it someday.
Q: How about MP3's?
I'll get to making MP3's sometime soon. When exactly? I dunno...... but soon.
Q: Can you make tutorial vids?
A: Sorry, but rather than posting ANOTHER video for tutorial purposes, I'd rather be playing new songs. Therefore, I WILL IGNORE such requests.
Q: Do you take song requests?
A: Sure. Depends on whether or not I want to play them... or like them.
Q: Do you write your own material?
A: I suck at it... so no :D
Q: How come you don't use your right pinky too much?
A: I guess it's just a comfort factor. Aware of this, I try using it a little bit more.
Q: I noticed a few mistakes in your playing.
A: Ugh... that ISN'T a question. And yes, I DO quite often make mistakes, as they are generally inevitable. For the most part, I find them right as I'm playing. Besides, I play piano solely for fun, and I'm not seeing it as my profession.
Q: Why does the audio sound clearer in your latest vids?
A: Because the audio from the piano goes directly to my laptop. However, the audio quality still sounds rather... underwatery. Though it does make better audio quality for downloadable MP3's, which again, I'll be working on.
Q: Do you take random friend invites?
A: Yes :)
Q: You used to upload more frequently. What gives?
A: Hey, I'm in college, cut me some slack! :P
Q: Do you realize you joined Youtube on--
A: YES, I KNOW, DAMMIT!!

Hobbies:
To start, I love video games. Zelda, Mario, Final Fantasy, Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Metroid, Zelda, Metal Gear, Resident Evil... Did I mention Zelda? Anyway, I'm into the whole fantasy genre; elves, dwarves, etc. 60's/70's culture has had an influence on me as well. Hell, look at my hair! ---|--- I'm kind of a late bloomer to anime. To tell the truth, I used to hate the stuff until Cowboy Bebop started airing on Adult Swim. Now I'm way more into it, but I still only like about 1-2% of the anime that's out there.

Actually, I do often use it on my left hand, and I'm noticing some improvement with the right (in fact, I'll change the FAQ box now). But hey, every person has his/her limitations, so I'm not entirely complaining :D. As for improvement on playing, you should have seen the way I played the Zelda theme when I was little. God, I'd get lynched if YouTube had existed then :P
And I will be doing plenty more FF in the future, with "Not Alone" from FFIX sometime soon. Requests are welcome :)
To tell the truth, I hadn't heard of them 'til you brought that up :D
I hadn't really gotten into power metal until Blind Guardian, which was about 3-4 years ago. I've mostly been listening to classic rock and game music, so I'm still slowly getting into the genre. And who knows, I'll probably find a Sonata Arctica song that I'll want to play :D
Thank you for asking, and sorry for the long response time.
Battlefield, MGS Theme, A Past and a Future Secret and Another Strange Me - Divine :D
