One of the best things about YouTube is the talent that tends to trickle to the top. There is a constant stream of very talented individuals and groups that upload their creative works for the world to see. Every once in a while I like to share some of my recent favorites and today is one of those days. Actually, this week is one of those weeks. Over the next three days, I’m going to share some of my recent favorites.
First up is a video that I found yesterday. It features Steven Sharp Nelson, of the Piano Guys, playing an electric cello. I didn’t even know there was such a thing. Not only is the music rockin’, the performance features a very cool Star Wars theme. Star Wars, electric cello, and visual effects… that’s a wining combination in my book. Also, Vader makes a rather humorous cameo.
Pretty awesome, right? Here’s another from the Piano Guys, not quite as epic, but it has a major feel good vibe.
The Piano Guys are really creating some fantastic music and videos. The cool thing is that they are just regular people, like you and me. Also, like most of us, they dream of something bigger. They dream of being able to quite their day jobs to pursue their passion for creating music.
Right now they fill all their spare moments writing and creating fantastic music and videos. Those spare moments come after work, and often after the family has gone to bed.
The Piano Guys Vision
Our vision is to create music and videos that inspire people. We want to take that music to the world and make a difference. We have something different to offer from any other YouTube channel. We like to put a new spin on classic stuff and a classic spin on new stuff. Whatever we do, we put our heart and souls into every note and frame.
I like to support these amazingly creative people when I get the chance, and I’m hoping you will too. Right now they are looking for donations so that they can make the leap from doing this part time, to making it a full time gig. I encourage everyone to help out if you can by donating here: http://www.thepianoguys.com/music/
Be sure to check out their YouTube channel for more great videos. http://www.youtube.com/user/ThePianoGuys
Check back tomorrow to see another great YouTube music sensation.

What a great couple of videos. Being a geek, I love the Star Wars one (and yes, electric cellos are very cool) but I just love the piano guys and their passion for music. It’s a great goal to want to make music for a living, and I’d say they are well on their way. Thanks for some fun video watching this morning!
