The Doors - L.A. Woman - Piano Cover
I think that every cover artist deals with the fidelity issue, I mean, how close to the original song I´d like my cover to be. I think that you can insert more or less new elements on your covers, and thats is an individual choice, a matter of taste or personal style.
In my covers, I choose to maintain the original features of the song, mainly the vocal and instrumental lines, trying to make a piano version that sounds as close as possible to the original.
So here´s my new one: this L.A. Woman Piano Cover. It took me a long time to make it, since it's a 6 minute song, with a lot of really great solos by Manzarek (1:57) and Krieger (love the guitar at 5:00), and all. But I had a great time doing it, in fact I added some "improvisings" in the slow section, upon the "riders on the storm" theme, you can check it out at 3:53 .
So, it is a pleasure to share this cover here, it would be very very nice to have some feedback from you guys. Thanks!!

2:18 best part of all time no joke❤
the face of satisfaction is priceless, I am 16, a week ago I started playing riders on the storm and the sound coming out of the piano is satisfying. Good vibes 👍🏻
That Jazz transition of riders on the storm is an amazing touch to the song! This cover is so tasty, bravo sir!

You really captured the lively energy of the song - just played this with a band at open mic last night and the bass player kept up that rumble for five minutes , as you kept it up , really creates the background against which the energy happens 😀

I totally agree! The background of the song is in this bass phrase. In my case, I spent some time trying to figure out how to adapt it in a way that would be natural for playing on the piano. And I also trained a bit until my hand was comfortable repeating this phrase for a good part of the song!
Dope af yo
Класс!!Вынос мозга!!
You totally blew me away! Your bass is so strong and your treble/accompaniment are also solid! I agree with you about keeping it close to the original. To be honest, I was hoping you'd do the piano solo in Riders, but maybe some other time. Kudos to you for your natural talent.

Thanks! I spent a lot of time working in the bass lines of this song, and experimenting on how to adapt it to the piano. Literal adaptations doesnt work so fine at most of the cases (and that applies not just to the bass, but to many other situations...). Anyway, the bass lines in this song are fantastic and it gives 80% of the movement, so I worked to preserve the original bass line as much as I could, and adapt it in a way that sounds sactisfatory on the piano as well. Thanks for your listening and your feedback!

This is how I’d prefer to hear covers. Not slowed down and dramatic... and tones of nonsense added. This is amazing.
Caraca, arrebentou! Vc devia fazer um canal tipo o da Gamazda.
That is one good sounding piano! Excellent performance .. accuracy and coherence of a classical pianist but it really rocks as well. Great driving left hand too!

Thanks for listening! You're right, I am a classical pianist, and I think that classical repertoire gives you the most solid technical and expressive basis for you to play whetever kind of music you wish. Since I always listened to other kinds of music besides classical, I'm enjoying making covers a lot! One of my concerns, specially in this cover, was to keep the bass line as close as possible to the original song, but in a way that works on the piano. Nice to know you liked it!

@@PanaroPiano yeah this covers amazing and you mentioning you think learning classical piano was important for the technicality of it is something i totally resonate with now learning piano. My main instrument is guitar and i never really had a teacher i just learnt from songs and live videos over the course of a few years. I've been playing piano for about 7 months now and im learning basically the same way i did guitar and i feel like a caveman on a set of keys, my technique i assume is pretty bad, the hardest thing i can play well is Martha My Dear haha. i feel like training classical pianos a whole different ballgame the techniques arent really something i find to be as intuitive, as in something i can figure out on my own with time like with guitar where everything just made sense, like the fingers when you do scales i keep tripping over my meathook fingers. Learning piano has helped me progress lightyears with theory though im so happy i have a chance to play it every day
WTF😮😮😮👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤❤
