The Piano Guys (just a few of their awesome videos...)

The Piano Guys have a channel on YouTube that I definitely recommend if you are able to access it. Their story is neat - click on the first link above to check it out. Fun facts: The Piano Guys started in Utah. The cellist has ADHD and is super creative. A bunch of this group met by completely random happenstance.

Star Wars fans: Check out "Cello Wars" - The creative ideas in the video are great (light saber cello bows? Jedi versus Sith? Darth Vader plays a...what?). You'll never guess what Darth Vader plays...

"Mission Impossible" - This one is funnier when you remember that cellists have to sit down to play. Poor Steve is running around with a folding chair, and Lindsey Stirling, who guest stars in this video, is too fast for him to set up.

"Paradise" (originally by Coldplay) - Yes, the piano is actually up there. The Piano Guys have an operations manager who doubles as a "Piano Stunt Coordinator" because he's a fearless piano mover (as evidenced by where the piano is in this video).

"Rockelbel's Canon" (arrangement of Pachelbel's "Canon in D") - The cello part for this song is...repetitive...to say the least. The poor cellist plays the same 8 notes in the same order, in the same rhythm, for the whole piece. This can be bad when the cellist you hire for your wedding comes to the job sleepy...

Rock Meets Rachmaninoff - Check out the piano videos in the string family post - one of them is a Rachmaninoff piece. Here's a rocking arrangement of another Rachmaninoff piece, "Prelude in C# Minor."

I encourage you to check out more of their videos!
