Sadsap Music is the music publisher that knows you just can’t handle life right now because everything is happening so much, all the time. Do you even know music? Such sound, so beauty? Can you physically understand the complexity of life and the universe? Do you sometimes need to stop everything because you actually CANNOT?

If you look like you have it under control, but you do not, then Sadsap Music is for you. Our first release was You Suck at Piano, which sold so many copies overseas that the author could not even handle it and in the process totally lost it.

And if you are all like “what now?” and “¯\_(ツ)_/¯”, then bask upon the other titles Sadsap Music has to offer: You Suck at Piano 2: You Still Suck, 20 Piano Pieces for People with Emotional Problems, You Suck at Guitar, and The Nutsmacker. Yet be not still, heathen, as there are more surprises in store!

The author is pretty humorous. Lots of easy, slow blues stuff to play. Each chapter covers a different string. Kind of pricey for 98 pages, but if you're an adult who is struggling with guitar and want things explained to you in a sarcastic and simple way, this is the book for you.

"You Suck At Piano" book is well crafted, arrived earlier than expected, and is a fun look at playing piano with a lot to learn and play for a beginner piano player like me. I'll probably order the sequel at some point.

Enjoyed the insults in the first one so much, I ordered the second one. Nothing like being abused as you learn piano.

Sadsap Music

Sadsap Music-the music publisher that just can't handle you right now.

Sadsap Music was started in 2017 by Dr. Joel Pierson, after realizing that his girlfriend was really, really bad at the piano. But at least she knew it, right? Her crapulent pianism was oddly inspiring, so Joel began the journey of being the first person in history (we're willing to bet!) to write a piano method book full of comic strips, cocktail recipes, and relentless insults aimed at the reader. Joel launched You Suck at Piano on Kickstarter in the fall of 2017, and raised over $80,000 to get the book printed and shipped. Ayy, the shipping… what a nightmare.

In 2018 the follow up book You Suck at Piano 2: You Still Suck was released, along with a book of original compositions titled 20 Piano Pieces for People with Emotional Problems. In 2019, Joel began mocking other instruments as well, releasing You Suck at Guitar. The most recent addition to the collection is The Nutsmacker - a book of piano (or guitar) pieces set side-by-side with comics about an unlikely superhero who fights crime with a pantyhose full of walnuts. Sadsap Music has a number of ridiculous books coming down the pipeline, so stay tuned… if you can handle it!
