Hey VGChartz,

I'm not the most famous member here but sharing my piano solo arrangment of Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars.

It's played entirely by ear and arranged by myself.

Havent touched the piano in months due to injuries in my hand, arms and legs, the ring rust is really evident. (I can still play games though LOL), 

I  hope you guys enjoy the song despite me not playing to my potential. 

Thank you so much for your time to listen.

Very nice! Wish I could play an instrument like that.

How long did it take you to get to that result?

I played the piano since 5. I'm now 30. I studied classical piano. Then I taught piano , both pop and classical at a school.

I learnt pop by myself (Theres classical elements in my playing). My skills really deteriorated badly due to injuries and illness.

But starting next month, I'll be learning jazz piano from a very famous performer and I'll practice hard and get good again.

You don't need to play for many years to attain this result. However, playing by ear and arranging your own style is quite difficult because we don't rely on music scores. We play whatever we "feel".

If you practice hard under a good teacher, I think just 2 years and you'll play better than me. In my school that I taught previously, one of the students was so good, he was asked to teach. 

very nice! I hope you have recovered from your illness and injuries!

Sounds good to me.

On a side note, I like to pretend to play piano.

Ah, when I saw the thread title I thought you meant the Billy Joel song. Sometimes i feel as old as I am.

Your interpretation sounds nice, the original sucks (the B. Mars song, not the B. Joel song).

Thanks everyone for your kinds words! =D

OKR I did not know this song until a few days ago when I heard it lol. I also thought its the Billy Joel song.

Nikkom: The doctor is still investigating. And my working hours is so long Im not allowed to see my specialist for my test/scan results next month. sigh.
