Mac Miller - Come Back To Earth - Piano Cover Dorian 2019-03-02 | In memory of Mac Miller. Thanks so much for watching! Please consider subscribing if you enjoyed this cover! A little bit about how I approach these videos:I typically don't arrange my covers. Rather, I spend some time learning the tune by ear and/or writing out a chart (just melody and chord symbols). Then, I take a few whacks at playing it in a mostly improvised arrangement. The best take gets edited and uploaded! I also throw in the chord symbols in case anybody finds them useful. These aren't necessarily the exact chords in the original recording, but rather, they're just how I'm choosing to navigate the tune.If you have any questions about how I'm thinking of chord structures, harmonic rhythm, etc. just ask below in the comments!
Sam Smith, Normani - Dancing With A Stranger (Piano Cover) Dorian 2019-05-05 | My rendition of Sam Smith and Normani's Dancing With A Stranger!

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker - Columbia Pictures Music Copy? Dorian 2019-04-14 | Whoops! I don't think this was done on purpose. I just think somebody forgot to go "why is this melody sticking out so vividly in my head?" before writing it into the score.
Green Dolphin Street - Dorian Jazz Sessions #1 Dorian 2019-03-05 | I thought I'd introduce a little bit of what I actually do on the piano! The covers are a blast to make, but ultimately, I was trained as a jazz pianist and love playing more improvised music in general. Here's a run through a severely overplayed standard, but still a great tune. Thanks so much for watching! Please consider subscribing if you enjoyed this video!

John Mayer - I Guess I Just Feel Like - Piano Cover Dorian 2019-02-28 | I Guess I Just Feel Like by John MayerI heard this song a few days after it came out. I've always been a fan of John's guitar playing. He gets into some nice stuff here! I transcribed most of the solo at the end, but cut it short because a filming technical difficulty.
