This man made every pianist question their abilities. Slim Gaillard playing with his hands upside down (1962)

That's amazing 👏 I bet his wife is a really happy woman.

Seriously mind-blowing! 🤯 Slim Gaillard was on another level. Makes you wonder what other crazy techniques are out there!

He’s like the michael Jackson of pianists.

Played guitar too

21 years earlier, a couple of comedians from a family of 5 made some pretty good movies. Here's a scene with a couple of them, wayyyyyyyy before CGI came along. IOW, they am truly playin'.

I saw him back in the eighties. He was also a great guitarist and endlessly entertaining.

Same aura ❤️

I knew a brother like this, played in a band with him. My bass amp stopped working halfway through a show and the mother fucker started doing stand-in bass while also doing his normal parts, and frankly his bass was better.

Those fingers were made to play the piano.

Can’t tell if all bots responding but that wasn’t amazing lol. I’m not a pianist, but that was meh. Compare to,

"Ese video es increíble. La facilidad con la que dominaba el piano de esa forma tan inusual demostraba un conocimiento absoluto del teclado. Era más un truco visual para el espectáculo que una limitación real. ¡Un maestro absoluto! 🎶🤯"

Insane talents lost in this generation’s obsession with giving value to market shareholders

Wh

:) @PierceLilholt Enjoy this day!

Vout-a-reeny-mo!

I would oink in amazement at those fingers moving like that

Super music 🎵🥰

Master.

performative bullshit

😂 love this!

Slim is having so much fun! We all need to discover pure happiness when we pick up our instruments. Creating pleasant surprises keeps dedicated players coming back for more!

@chronicshelbs 👏🏼

Wow, I didn't know Neil DeGrasse Tyson could play the piano.

Damn

His fingers are the instrument

Systems built to be flipped. Like expectations.

Watching him play upside down makes me feel incredibly untalented, but that rhythm is undeniably amazing

That's a bit of an overstatement, but he was obviously talented.

You might appreciate Leslie Lemke. Start with an old TV account of his beginnings called May's Miracle.

well thats not that impressive at all

Is he a magician?
