Do y'all like videos where I just play and don't talk?

This video proves that humans won't ever be beaten by machines.

I don't think anyone would complain if you did these bi-weekly, or maybe even weekly 👀 Keep up the amazing content man! I'm so glad I found your channel.

You are so original with your melodies honestly. I cant imagine how it feels to just be able to play what you feel like this.

Kind of Jarrettesque, very nice. Thank you.

As an amateur pianist myself, I really admire you ! ☺☺☺☺ You truly are immensely skilled and have a huge capacity for profound musical expression that I can only hope to have one day ! Keep up with these uploads, they are truly amazings ! 😊😊

Everybody tries to make midi keyboards play different sounds and instruments, but this guy makes the piano magical... Thanks man!

We all got to support this no talking thing.

That book on your keyboard is really good - my fav of all time 😊

I found your channel when I was looking for good music to focus on while I work. Greetings from Brazil!

Keep going brother! You are a kind of musician with very developed technique but at the same time so emotive, is a real pleasure to hear you! Thanks for sharing to us! Have a nice day! From Chile...

I got accepted to Florida State University’s College of Music a month ago, I just found your videos last week and they’ve been getting me so pumped for joining different groups to play with on campus this fall! Awesome video as always!

first couple minutes was a sonata that turned into a jazz song then back to a sonata😭✨

I usually play the morning jazz livestreams when I start the day, but now I put on SamTheBeardGuy

It’s you and Keith Jarrett!

Lots to digest - the sonics, Keyscape, your technique, your music, and the history which is encapsulated within. KZfaq enables encounters that are so unique. 15 years ago, we would never have had this experience. Sam - thanks, on so many levels. Not sure where this will lead but this was very inspiring. Very Inspiring. Nothing wrong with us hearing you speak, But its also ok if you decide you prefer to just play - your call., as long as what you do is consistent with how you wish to communicate on the day. Everything about the video stood out to me - great video quality, superb audio quality and the music as well as how it flowed from you was spectaular. You got lots stored up inside. Lots. Thanks for sharing. Thanks.

Man I’d love to hear your background and how you got to this point on the keys. It sounds like you have a jazz soulful influence which is super DOPE!

Hey, im sorry if my english is kinda weird. Im from south korea and im listening to this kind of video (improvisation for 1hr) everyday. Ngl. I really comforted and listen to this while i study, even when i get emotional state. Love your video so much, so i want you to make this kind of video more. Thank you so much. I wish you could know that your video is encouraging me everyday. Thank u

I like the talking tho, you can make this like a podcast with beautiful music being played. You have a good sense of humor too

Omg yesssss more of this! Thank you so much my future self will be so grateful

Another great performance that simply captures the listener and keeps them wanting more all the way through! Thank you for your great music!

Just watching this and the music is great and I love that you take the time to reply to a lot of comments

You are simply the best improviser in KZfaq I EVER see...congrats.

1:50 best chill jazz phrase I’ve ever heard on piano

Great atmosphere of new jazz.Jazz has no expiration date!)

These are like prayer sets at the International House of Prayer. But jazz haha

Amazing again! Iam totally in love with your style of playing. Its great to see what you make of the musical idea's during this improv. Its like an adventure of tension&release filled with great emotion . Also the licks you use are great along with your insane right hand. Then last but not least your voicings just make me smile. I wish there was more people understanding the value of your craft. Very underrated channel. Much love and respect from another pianist from Holland (;

Warming to the heart. ♥️💜❤️ Soothing. Feels like the start of a wonderful adventure. 🩵💙 Let’s go. Keep it up. ❤️‍🔥

Your videos are literally why I'm getting off my ass and beginning to practise the keys properly. Thanks so much for the inspiration :D PS - If you did an improv stream every week or smthn, man that'd be amazing, I'd tune in for sure. :D (++ Keyscape is beautiful, so its a win win win!)

Dude you play amazing

Tested positive for COVID last week, staying at home since then. This and your other improv video have been my medicine haha

Wanted to show some love man, this is great stuff

I really love your playing Man. Such a nice style. Sounds lovely too. Thanks

First time checking out one of your long videos. This is really nice to have in the background while I'm programming. Thanks :)

The algorithm chose you last week and I am still here. Great stuff :D

If you keep making these, I'll watch every one guaranteed. Huge fan of both your talking videos and just playing videos, but something about getting to listen to you riff and explore for an hour is so inspiring. Glad I subscribed :D

Sounds great man !

Thank you so much for making me feel better about pulling the trigger on keyscape I couldn't take it anymore and then discovering your channel and recent videos on the topic it inspired me to finally buy some monitors and keyscape hoping I won't need an external hard drive right away but I know it's something I'm gonna want and it's amazing to think you can get those new fast drivers with a tb for 150$ I often criticize technology but I've got to learn to embrace it they come so far so fast it's incredible I love your channel and passion keep it up for our sake and your's

its 3am, i have no idea who this guy is but man im vibin

Hey Sam. Same Music Style. Also a beard. Great Performance. Greetings and stay Healthy. ✌️

love your stuff man!

nothing short of amazing!

This is great, bro. Thanks

You know that you've made it when you got thumbs down even when you put out a surreal sound! Play it again Sam!

Amazing tone!!!!!

So jealous that you can play the Eb9 10th with your left hand!!! I can only reach 10ths on the white keys... Anyways, I love your playing! Sounds so good.

Nice! Seems like a dream xD Nice video/music format, keep it up! This great improv gives me a lot of motivation :D

The beginning reminds me a bit of songs from Ludocivo Einaudi, it's lovely

I absolutely love these videos man, totally on board with the periodic continuation as others seem to be. Perhaps we could hear some experimentation in some of the rhodes, wurlitzers, or even upright sounds keyscape has!

Post this and the other one on Spotify man, it's gorgeous

Wow , Amazing Stuff ❤️

Another great one!

Here as always! Fantastic man, I like all the style of videos you do! variety is a good balance imo :)

I'd love to see another interpretation of a jazz standard!

Please do one hour of ur gospel songs 🙏

Kilt it. Amazing inspiration.

I'm trying to get to your level, I watch you videos for motivation, you play beautifuly

Hi Sam, I dig this style of video. If I may be so RUTHLESSLY bold to suggest something, in addition to more of these, would you be interested in breaking down / demonstrating the round robin capabilities of Keyscape? No one I've seen has mentioned it, and Spectrasonics itself vaguely mentions it in some obscure part of the manual.

I love these videos!❤️

Amazing playing as always you really bring out the character of that C7. I find that the Keyscape C7 is only piano where you can really dig in, I have come close to breaking my A-88 a couple of times lol. Have tried using the C7 for compositions with string vsts? It is a great piano to just sit in the mix and let it do it's thing that is its strongest point I feel so easy to mix.

Hey Sam! Awesome improv session! If I could make a suggestion, it would be to find a way to remove the camera shake when you press the keys harder :D keep it up! we love it!

i just listen

thats my freakin dog right here. -b coop

Red Shirt seems to induce more views. I just can't stop clicking. Really. The red shirt is a big thing.

ha ha you got some chords.

Hello Sam, your playing is superb and inspirational. I am a beginner piano player who bought a SL73 Studio. I already bought Keyscape a few years ago because I produce music for a few years. Did you change the velocity curve for your Studiologic? It feels unnatural for me when playing with Keyscape. Thanks :)

As great as expected... play it again, Sam ! :-) By the way what is your keyboard make and model ?

OK, I listen to you. Listen to what you have to SAY. How much is that worth?

Amazing as always. Should the left hand always play softer than the right? If yes, how do you control it?

Yo man, great playing! What do you think about key action on this keyboard? I was thinking of getting one for classial play.

Trying to be able to play like this! What in your opinion are the most important things to practice?

Hey, Sam! Awesome video. Is there any reason for you to be using Keyscape over Pianoteq?

Play On

Love the improv bro... on a side note or question what book do you have on your keyboard in the background?? Looks familiar

Really enjoyed the improv! Do you like the SL88 and how the hammer action feels?

What is the longest time you have practised in a day in your life?

Great feel! What velocity curve do you use in studiologic with the sl73 studio?

Which preset in Keyscape is this? 21:00 to 31:00 pure emotional epicness - been playing that the last hour

How many hours a day for how long for this? To be able to improvise with such clarity?

Man I wish I could improv like this. How long does it take for one to play like this?

29:27

Please support his idea.

I love these improv videos, but I guess my only recommendation would be to break them into shorter videos to help beat the KZfaq algorithm.

Is that an rd-700 on your right?

Tell me bro! where you learned to play?

Dave Brubeck much?

We have club though. Want to join?

Hi please give me some exercices

Levels are OK

No dog in this one, 0/10 (jkjkjk

You think I don't notice?

You're probably too humble to realize it, but there are people putting out contemporary piano albums whose playing is not half as interesting as yours. You should release something.
