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!!

    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!

    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!

    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!

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
