Jeff Vainio Music

by Jeff Vainio

Thanks to everyone for your views and comments! Mostly all of my Piano songs here on Soundcloud, are also in video form on YouTube. I started playing piano at 15 years old. Everything I do on the piano is by ear and memory only. I have never had a piano lesson and I can't read sheet music - even to this day. I never play a song that is exactly note-for-note, and I don't even know what key I am playing a song in. Lately, I have been learning my new material by watching other people's piano videos on YouTube, and specifically watching where their fingers go. I tend to learn a new song in 5-10 minutes if I know the song well. My range of music is very spread out across many types of music - Rock & Metal, New Age, Top 40 songs, some Country, and some Movie/TV theme songs. Since I am also a huge Rock and Metal fan, I also taught myself drums on a Roland vDrums TD 15 electronic drum set. I find a drumless song on YouTube and add my live drum solo on top of them.
