Top tip, If you start on a keyed instrument, it's much easier to work out the others. They all share the same 12 notes after all, a piano just lays them out in the most logical order that makes every other instrument make sense!

If the man wanted to be a rock star, he'd be one. He is ridiculously talented with music. I always find it rather astonishing he went into comedy with those chops.

He found a niche of being a comedic rockstar or rocking comedian, depending on the show. He's done shows with full orchestra's, and stand-up backed by jokes set to music. This man is a legend on so many levels. The haircut is a strong statement though. Next level mullet.

Why is there a boundary between music and comedy? Both are creative pursuits. Many musicians employ comedy (Victor Borge, for instance) and many comedians employ music (Steve Martin, for example).
