i guess what matters is that people might find that this guy provides a way to start interacting with the instrument and have fun with it. that could well be an end in itself. if i hadnt found something parallel early on, i doubt seriously that i would still be playing 30 years later and still finding new/strange possibilities in/on the piano.
what i do not understand is why anyone would promote producing flinstone covers as the access to playing an instrument at all...unless you link this to other things (like learning how to organize sound autonomously) it seems a pathway to servility. which it too often in fact is.
nor do i understand how pecking out tonics for poptune basslines is playing the piano.
but whatever: there are lots of people out there who could do really interesting things on an instrument like the piano, but who feel shut out of the possibility for stupid reasons (piano lessons shoved down your throat as a kid, for example): if this helps to give even a few of them access to the instrument and a reason to develop as a player, then why not?
