You know what it is.
- It's time for Ling Ling 40 Hours. - 40 hours!
Where all the talented people come together,
and share their awesome memes!
Completely not biased,
scientifically the best subreddit in the world.
Wow!
"You can learn more about the process in the comments."
So this is by...
You know what's a strange combo?
Lychee passionfruit jelly with...
Taro milk tea.
Plus mango.
And cheese foam milk.
Actually, what is the worst combo you can actually put?
- That's pretty bad. - I don't know.
Anyway, anyway...
This is about the epic artwork.
Is this like, pencil graphite?
It looks so realistic.
Do you know how hard it is to draw hands, dude?
- That's insane! - Those hands.
What are the comments saying?
Yeah...!
- Of course! Yes, that's right. - You know what it is!
Yeah, and you just read it!
- Damn, you guys are like, predicting the content. - You guys know everything.
You guys are making the content for us.
I mean, in 12 more hours,
- it would become something else, right? - Yeah.
- Good idea, nice. - Nice.
"Find the process here..." What's this?
So you drew the pants first.
Alright, I guess you drew the guideline,
and then you just worked your way up
from the bottom to the top.
- I'm not an artist... - But I would start from the head.
- Yes, like, when I draw, I start from the head. - Yes.
- But that's cool. - Yeah. That's an interesting way.
Can you imagine, though?
Instead of like, having C sharps and D flats and all that,
imagine the black keys were letters.
♪ A, B, C ♪
(both) ♪ D, E, F, G ♪
(both) ♪ H, I, J, K, L ♪
That's weird!
I don't understand the context of this, but
it's giving me TikTok tutorial vibes.
You do not write on the keys.
- Mm-hmm. - Yes.
That's very sacrilegious.
- Relatable. Relatable. - Yeah, that's so true!
Dude, every Asian has to play the piano.
- Almost, right? - Yeah.
Piano, violin...
If you're gonna learn a wind instrument, it's usually flute.
Flute, yeah.
Closely followed by clarinet.
- And cello, cello's there too. - Oh yeah, cello.
- They usually... - Yeah, I wonder what the actual list is,
- in terms of popularity. - We should do like, a statistical poll.
But, as the meme says,
- we do usually play the piano. - Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I would say, too.
- "I do. But it's not because I'm Asian, trust me." - Yeah. "It's not because..."
Oh, I can relate to that!
And especially for like, Tchaikovsky moments it's like,
"Can you go from here?"
It's like, I can't figure it out.
There's so many runs, you have to just start from...
Maybe not from the top of the page,
- 'cause that's pretty ridiculous. - Yeah.
But you know, from other places, yeah.
I feel like that's especially me with like,
something like a Bach fugue.
- Yeah! Yeah, yeah... - It's like, if I start from the middle, I'm just screwed.
Or like, some crazy passage run.
And you just have to rely on your fingers
- to just... go. - Yeah.
Oh, here we go. Alright, more of these.
Oh, you talked to him about it!
- Whoa... - Actually?
(Oh my gosh.)
(Yeah, he's faking, that's why he's...)
- Dude... Yeah. - He lifted his bow, but the music's still going.
(Oh my gosh.)
Oh wow.
I mean, respect to whoever posted this.
You confronted them, but without being overly rude,
- in my opinion. - Yeah. Yeah.
I'd be so scared to like, go up, but...
Yeah.
I love that people are understanding that it's a scam.
And that people still value integrity.
- In this subreddit, we still care. - We still exist!
I love this comment.
- Dude, that's like a meme now. It's like... - Yeah, it's 8 frames out of sync!
His bow's completely in the air?
- Nah, it's just 8 frames out of sync. - Yeah.
- Whoa. - Oh!
Okay, that's very different.
- Whoa, what a 180! - Change of mood.
- Yeah...! - Yeah, whoa!
- It looks very strange... I can't... - Guys...
- ...decide how to feel about it. - Just reviewing Ling Ling 40 Hours.
That photoshop is next level.
- Brett: It's actually pretty good! - Like, I can believe someone looking like this, you know?
Parallel universe, Brettina!
Near the top, everyone knows about it.
And then under the sea, you start to get...
- Oh, okay. See, I didn't even know Medtner. - Medtner. I don't know Medtner.
Scriabin's the god tier, hey? That's interesting.
- See, I... - I know Scriabin.
- I listened to a bit of Scriabin, but... - Yeah, I don't know.
Who's Sorabji?
Actually, I'm really curious. Let's listen to a bit of Sorabji.
Ooh, I like this.
Yooo!
Dude, I love how he started the first 3 notes,
it's like, you know what you're in for.
This is what I would picture to be
in between Impressionism and Atonalism.
- Like, Debussy and Schoenberg, in between. - Yeah, 'cause there is a bit of that like, that chord, this one here.
- Yeah yeah yeah... - That was... Yeah, the mp was nice.
Well, there we go. We got edu...
Wow!!
This subreddit is so intelligent that we're getting educated
- on our own channel! - Yeah, thank you! Whoa!
Who has a pager?
- Uh-oh. - Trust me, that's hard.
Imagine you were actually a bassoonist,
you hated the actual bassoonist in the concert, so you just
buzz your phone, so you can like, take over the solo.
- Take over...! - And play better.
Yeah yeah, and it's like, the Scheherezade
- so you're like, "Oh, you don't want to play." - Yeah!
- Wow. Yep. - That's pretty epic.
Nice!
Always good to practice.
- Always good to take care of yourself. - That's really good!
But 1600, how many hours?
1600 minutes...
- Oh, my math is so bad these days. - 150 hours?
No, it's 2...
- 236 hours. - Brett: 200... Yeah, that's right.
Of practice.
- Wow! - Look at this!
"Edit: 60 minutes done."
"210 minutes."
Keep it up, another 1590.
- Oh, okay. That's a good one. - Oh yeah. Alright, this is sick, dude! Who drew this?
Wow!
How long does this take?
That's amazing!
Whoa! That's the...
Dude, I'm not wearing it! No!
That's so cool!
I really like this style.
The TwoSet Apparel...
That's so cool!
- That's kinda true, hey? - Yeah.
It starts all nice...
That's how you feel playing any like, virtuosic piece.
Afterwards, and your hair is all over the place.
- And you're just like, "Aah!" - Yeah.
- Yus! - Yo!
Let's go.
Ling Ling!
- Oh, wow! - Whoa, that's cool!
Custom shoes with Clair de Lune on them.
That is so cool.
- That's actually sick. - I would wear that.
You're walking on the moon.
Probably it's like, a concert pianist.
That's true. Under pressure, everything just falls apart.
- I feel like class is more pressure than performance. - I think so.
- 'Cause all your classmates, peers are judging. - Peers, other musicians.
They're watching.
"Does this person really practice?"
Yeah, it's like, "Ooh, he slipped there! Ooh...!"
Actually, isn't it historically, Handel like, got all the gigs?
And Bach just died poor?
I don't know if he got all the gigs,
- but he definitely was rich. - Yeah.
Maybe that's why Bach's pushing him, he's like...
"Damn you, Handel!"
"I make better music."
- Oh, that's cute. Aw. - Dude, the cat is so chill.
I want a pet now.
Dude, the cat's living the life.
Actually, it depends on...
(both) ...how well they play.
I was just kidding.
But judging...
Yeah, judging by the cat's expression,
- your playing is very good. - Yes.
Whoa!
What's custom viola fabric?
Violas have fabric?
- Like, shave the viola wood? Yeah! - Like timber?
I think they mean like,
- the... alto clef. - Alto clef, yeah.
- That's sick, bro! - That's actually really cool.
A little bit of viola appreciation, because that is pretty epic.
All right guys, that's it for today.
Thank you for watching the most talented subreddit in the world.
As always, remember...
When this video ends in a few seconds,
you have to go practice.
No more faking, all real playing.
Bye-bye.
