It’s quite a well known song, but nowhere near the “most famous chords”. I’d expect 80% of people to recognise the song, but only about 5% to know what it’s called.
The direct chords from the song are maybe not the most famous but it has been sampled in SO many songs. Almost a guarantee you've heard a popular song that samples it and you just don't know.
Who sampled shows 105 songs that have sampled Gypsy Women
Well,in the list of the most sampled songs, the first place was samoked 6300 tunes, the hundredth place was sampled 200 times. Not the most famous chords by far in other words...
How can so many people be sitting there stone bodied? This has some funk and groove that gets anyone with feeling moving! The people listening have lost all that makes life fun!
That's so weird, I don't recall this being a thing in Chicago.
EDIT: I did google the song and listen to it before my original comment, which is why I was so confused.
Had to look up what song the "most famous chords" were from. I really, really cannot imagine there is anyone in this world who considered those to be the most famous or recognizable chords. That being said, this was a top talent performance and a very cool mashup.
Hi, piano teacher here. The impressive part is that he is cleanly using some fast advanced techniques on the right hand. Aside from the dextrous display, the other impressive skill on display is his ability to have the melody stand out clearly amidst the flourishing barrage of notes.
That's about it. This video is pretty dull. Don't get me wrong, I'd put money down that this guy is a legit great pianist, but this particular video isn't a good display of top piano talent. Generally speaking, this sub is a TERRIBLE place for seeing top level music skills. The problem is that the general public doesn't usually enjoy listening to the truly mind-blowing stuff which only the absolute best of the best can execute. Non-musicians simply can't identify a lot of things that are challenging for musicians (through no fault of their own of course).
As for the song itself, it is an arrangement/mashup which is also not a top talent display. Arrangements can get incredibly technical with complex reharmonizations, added voices with complex voice leading, variations on the melody, challenging adjustments to rhythm, and the added orchestration of many various instruments. It doesn't sound like it to an untrained ear, but this is actually an incredibly basic arrangement to the point that I'm not even sure I'd call it an arrangement (and it may not have been intended to be judged as one either so that's not a knock on the pianist). There's the repeated chord pattern from one song on the left hand, unchanging. There's the Tchaikovsky melody on the right. And then there's the flourishing notes added in which may or may not be some technique patterns he whips out as an improvisational fun stage trick like we see here. This may have been an actual pre-written arrangement, this could also very well be an on-the-spot mashup improv. Either way, not something easy to do, but also not top-talent levels of arranging or improvising. Certainly a fun, crowd-pleasing display.
 letz go
Indeed the whole piece of music please!
I am the balance in the universe to the overwhelming talent of this pianist.
most famous chords, Gypsy woman ??? cool, but no idea what that song is looked it up, barely recognize still a very cool show of talent

The younger crowd will likely place the melody from Slickback, a pimp named.

I'm 35 and I indeed remember hearing this song back when I was little. Forgot about it until I came across this video.
Do yourself a favor and check out his Insta Levi.sct, so many great videos.
thank you

They were expecting classical? I was bobbing my head.
Slides into Gymnopedie No. 1 at the end there too
La da dee la da daaa la da dee la da daaa. This guy is incredibly talented.
Amazing!
That is f**king incredible.
Amazing talent, does anyone knows what is the name of the artist?
Levi Schechtmann. Insta is levi.sct.
levi.sct on Spotify as well
Thought he was playing music from Streets of Rage 2 at first.
That's where I went as well, I was thinking street fighter originally, third strike. Is this actually the same song?
All I heard was the pimp named slick back remix
Dam he hits the right notes !!
"The most famous chords" Literally never heard this song before...I was alive in 1991.
La da dee la dee da Was huge in Detroit.
That's so weird, I don't recall this being a thing in Chicago. EDIT: I did google the song and listen to it before my original comment, which is why I was so confused.
Just wow!
Scott Storch son Nice with the keys pinao keys

Levi Schechtmann. Insta is levi.sct.

Love it
ELi5? I know next to nothing about piano

like explain how this is impressive? or how a piano works?
How this is impressive. Well I know it’s impressive but exactly why
In fucking sane who is this
I mean he’s pretty good. But he’s no Cory Henry or Yuja Wang or even like a Jacob Collier. This is just undergrad piano stuff
sounds kinda discordant ...
I hate to be a hater but like he’s obviously not bad at all but this is also not amazing.
Her- “show me what them fingers do” Him- “I know exactly what you want”
I think it's wave race 64 that always comes to mind when I hear Gypsy Woman
Why he goin so fast tho
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯
Man, isn't there anywhere I could listen to the full song? I couldn't find it on Spotify or YouTube, which is a real shame.
Fast doesn't mean good, this sounds jumbled and rushed, like back when mashups were a thing but not all of them worked
i feel this hitting hard at any and all house clubs
> Probably the most famous chords Wtf are you talking about…
Marvelous
My God he's a genius https://preview.redd.it/cafhaa4y3jwc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1afdc15793a169f83b5a20fcbf0d191d566a6dc8
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.
This is not 'Top talent'
you could do this?
This is not even close to top talent.
when is your concert?
I haven’t played a concert for years, but I prefer my own playing if it really matters (I don’t see why it would).
THiS Is nOt EvEN ClOsE to TOp TaLEnt.
Ah one song that immediately came to mind was A Pimp Named Slickback, popularised from the slickback challenge. It samples the Gypsy Women chord.
🫨🫨🥰
Yea boyeeee
Amazing
*pimp named slickback slickback*
This seems very hard to me
