- billsix 9y agoProof that Creep cannot be played using only white keys. https://youtu.be/mp64EY_WAcs https://youtu.be/mp64EY_WAcs Q.E.D.
- agf 9y agoYou're missing the point. He's not claiming that musically sliding a chord and playing the white keys are the same, he's saying physically they're the same. Both are physically natural and so could be chosen for physical rather than musical reasons. There are, of course, also musical reasons to select those options -- like you said, the white keys are C major -- but that is not necessary to motivate the choice in either case. If I didn't know that the white keys on a piano were C major, I'd still be likely to play them because they're physically convenient.
