Hi Trev,

Young Yohan sure is a talent and a half! I love the rhythms that he creates by the interplay between his two hands. This is really hard to do and he makes it seem all so easy!

Thanks once more for posting the work of 김요한. (That's Kim Yo-han -- I'm practising my Korean.)

I agree Jeff, I didn't even see a single bead of sweat. He's just mucking around. Damn!
What a way to have fun smile

This is what you can achieve if you give up your childhood and take piano lessons from age 5.

Sunny is a great tune to throw into Biab and apply about 10 different styles to. It's one of the songs I use to test styles. Biab can do a great job with this using anything from jazz swing, to reggae, to latin fusion to rock to funk to whatever you can think of.

Did Yohan Kim give up his childhood? I must have missed something in the translation. Did that happen? Sorry, reviewing his music and background, I didn't pick that up.

I play like this every day....



Ok, in my dreams, but still
I got some mad skills ...
In my dreams

Oh yeah...


In my dreams I even throw in some nasty Hancock chromaticism.
Some deft Kenny Kirkland licks
Lots of Joey Calderazzo madness
And some weird augmented scale harmony


But when I wake up, my skills have magically disappeared.



Where did they go?



Weird, or what?

By the way: check out Lot2learn’s version of Sunny. Dig it!


Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums.

All I really meant by that comment is anybody who's that good spent a huge amount of their free time practicing and learning to play. But the definition of "giving up your childhood" can certainly vary. This is from the About page on Facebook.

Yohan was born and raised in Seoul. He has perfect pitch and can reproduce any melody on the piano after only hearing it once. While he started playing the piano very young, he only started uploading videos of his music to Youtube when he was ten years old

Perfect pitch is a great start but it does nothing as far as actually learning the piano, hand independence, velocity, touch, all that stuff. That takes years of practice just to learn the physical part of it.

On his YT site he mentions he started playing at age 3. I would assume that pretty much consumed his childhood but who knows? No mention of formal lessons though.

Bob, reasonable points. I get the impression he just loves this stuff. I doubt he needed a lot of persuasion in his younger years.

His talents go much further than just piano.

Check out his latest video



Amazing technique.

I mean this could be Bob James, David Benoit, The Rippingtons or any of the contemporary jazz greats. Instead, it's all delivered by one teenager.
