Peter Buka is definitely a great inspiration to many pianists like myself throughout the world. I truly admire the way he arranges his piano covers. All his piano covers are nothing short of spectacular. I really like how you broke down all the elements / components that made his piano covers stand out from the rest - the octave jumps, the turns, the syncopated rhythms, etc. All these are commonly used and yet sometimes we don't think of using them. Thanks for breaking them down for us all. It really helps to give piano cover artists out there to spice up their piano covers.

How this channel dosent get millions of views will remain a great mystery in my life. You're amazing

[ZwartejasonFN]

we can all agree that peter is really insane at playing the piano. Just like Matthew!

[Staufi]

Peter Not only is a excellent piano player. That he is successful on YT he plays songs we all know and like. He plays them modern and with his style, with rythm.
We also like his way to express himself during his journey. Face, eyes closed, feeling.
And - I think this is almost 40% of all songs: He is young and we are impressed how such a young person can perform on this level.

The whole Peter package is attractive and makes fun to watch.

Interesting analysis!
Got my like!
And thank you for introducing me Peter Buka, he is worth listening to him.

[edwardniessen]

Peter is very talented. I love how intensely involved he is in playing the piano. He has the showmanship of the great Liberace.

[AB-sryv]

He is the best poano player on youtube. He is trained as a little child and has special touch..

You are quickly becoming one of my favourite piano content creators on Youtube. I really enjoy how you break things down and give us some of the why and how. It is really interesting and I enjoy it a lot.

Also since subscribing to your channel, Youtube has been suggesting some of your older video's and your format has improved a lot since your older stuf where there is no keyboard in front of you.

[vickydevaney]

completely agree with you Matthew. Great playing, very entertaining.... but I need a lie down in a quiet place after watching.
Keep your awesome content coming, I'm addicted to your channel and I'm ploughing through your back catalogue.
would love to see you do a public performance next!

Your music theory knowledge is insane man!

[MelbaMaldonado-nnkt]

Peter Buka is amazing. Not only on popular music arrangements, but listen to his classical Moonlight Sonata. Genius.

[bestbs]

I find it super impressive how Matthew learns the songs by ear so quickly and play them so accurately. I’ve always wanted to play by ear really well but don’t know how to start learning. Anyone have any tips?

[YorkshireTripper.]

Love to see a reaction to Gamazda . Always liked peters playing it seems so effortless . As my own piano playing slowly improves and i get more understanding It is quite eyeopening to learn that what i thought was impossible is not anymore and the tricks you see good players using you start to understand more.

[oryteraking]

it's really nice to see someone knowledgable analyze the music I like, could you also maybe do one of these videos for Tony Ann and Lionel Yu? I really enjoy your videos and this one especially, I'd love to see more!

I am more impressed by Matthews knowledge and skill of playing pieces ON THE SPOT than of Peters playing

[FrailSerenity]

Oh man, once you pointed out the turns, that's all I could hear! I agree that he doesn't need to make every song this HUGE performance. Pulling it back a bit would actually improve some of his pieces I think.

I love the way you break things down. It takes a piece from being "holy shit, his fingers can do what?!" to "oh, okay I can pick out all the repeating patterns now." I approach listening to music differently now because of it ❤️

[StrongBowGaming]

Glad to see the growth in the channel brother

[JohnnyByeYm]

Peters way of playing is very rhythmic and has a smashing drive. I think this is what people like. He turns his piano into a prime percussion instrument and makes everything almost danceable.
I als think a bit less would sometimes be better, but there are certain pieces that just suit his playing style extremely well (and others less).

[royale]

Got to appreciate how Buka has created more advanced piano covers of predominatly edm songs for those of us who struggle to play by ear - and as for the reverb, kawai pianos do naturally have a signifficant amount of reverb - agree that some of his songs could do with some more feeling when played, but each to their own.

My favorite piano guy...love his talent
