Hey there "Hear and Play" this is Yaahn Hunter Jr. Mike B is Literally My ALL TIME Gospel Keyboardist. I have yet to actually meet him and talk to him. He's the reason (along with God Blessing with an ear for it) I began playing keys. Mike has the most unique style of playing Gospel Music. I sure hope one day I'll meet Mike! Until then keep up the work and may God bless you! Yaahn Hunter Jr.
do you not realize this is the guy who plays this song on the record? he plays in every key. he can pick any key he wants. research him before you talk.
looooool that someone would even try to say anything negative about one of the best, most accomplished and most humble gospel musicians out there...some people need some serious prayer boyyy, I'm actually shocked....this is MIKE BEREAL!!!
you are a beast on keys,love ur improvisation, keep blessing us musicians with ur annointed hands, be blessed and thanks for the great music that u keep presenting.
God doesn't give everyone the same talents. The majority of us at the tiptop of our game will not rock this like this. That's why I thank Him for what He gave me.
Hearandplay God has blessed you to be a blessing! I strive to follow your example of cutting a path! You are much appreciated! Your humility, humor, and excellence goes a long way.
It is truly a blessing to see and hear how God will annoit and create a vessel to be used by him.I have been following this man since West Angeles COGIC and Jason White and now he is the head keyboard player for my Presiding Bishop Charles Blake. ps Mike im here in Wichita, Ks with your uncle Edward Bereal he is always talking about you!!! keep killin it dude!!
I have met Mike personally. He's one of the most personable individuals, very down to earth. He occupies the seat Sunday mornings @West Angeles on Crenshaw Blvd
yo shoutout to yaahn its good to see cats dat ppl know of and r hot in their own right humble and showin love......this comment alone makes me respect you more than on a level of musicianship....
@ 2:50 is where you shut your instrument down, pack it up, and go sit in the middle of what the keyboardist and the bassplayer are doin...bring your ears, a loose neck, and maybe a notepad...
But always remember this. For every musician you see, best to know there's always someone, somewhere...who's even better. If you can imagine, maybe. Don't get me wrong at all, Mike is a Master of his craft. Just makes some of us desire to practice, practice, practice. .The only way you get better over time. Styles change then change again and sometimes full circle. Only new thing are people. Quality pros keep pushing their limits and when you find one, work it out until perfected and almost thoughtless. It's like our fingers have...eyes. I close mine sometimes when I play and it takes you places special. So never quit, no matter what you hear someone else doing. That's them, their thing. Discover your thing and style and find an audience who follows every note. How it works. No fear, just determination. Listen again and "borrow" whatever licks but integrate them into a personal style. This is a good template with some of his nice fills. Interesting the variety of chords mixed with short runs and accents can turn a boring beat into something you hear one time but the ears enjoy. Church musician talkin here. I love listening to others play. Hope it's likewise as well.
Wow, Mr. Bereal indeed you're blessed among those who seek him first. This is great.. I enjoy it very much. God Bless you and the entire Hear&Play family ministery. JoshuaandRick
I love this! Purchased the DVD, however, this song was not on there. Was really disappointed. Still love his playing. Really want to learn to play this!!!!
Listen i just want to know, what did he do to get to this level of playing, study classical piano? practice 8hrs a day? run scales? study theory? What?????? other than simply watching this clip...i want to know the steps to playing like this.
Mike, no c'mon man! This is so Anointed! I jumped out of my seat!!!!!!!!!! I thank God for you. Now, can you give a tutorial on this and slow it down for a preacher trying to learn? LoL..........God bless you MIke... Do you have any intermediate videos? I must learn........To God be the glory!!!!!!!!
mayn, i was sweating this morning to get the fingering right for the first 5 chords he hit. Just such unusual voicings from those I'm used to. Imma study this and better my pianoskills :). Here I come, doc!!! I got ur dvd, lots to cop!!! He's groovin like crazy. He is a BEAST... If I had to compare him to a real beast he'd be like the KRAKEN!!! Immense impact!!! Leaving bystanders awestruck.
playing like this will get you paid, for everybody who's never played before please shut up lol. everything hes doing actually fits the song, a lot of guys just play all kinds of stuff all over top of the song when they shed, but when it comes to the session they dont have things they can play to color the song. mikes been in c sharp this whole video and he didnt do one lick twice.
Great clip but I was kinda upset because this song along with a couple of more clips didnt make the DVD. Now I looked on the back of the DVD case and it said something about Master Class vol 2 with Mike Bereal so lets hope and pray that this songs make that DVD!! LOL But overall the DVD WAS AWESOME!!!! I'm Learning soooooooo much that Ive always wanted to learn!!!
Let me just be the fist to say that 2:40-50 was so anointing in a a happy joyful way. This is the first day i've seen this and its like my 12th time..SOMEONE MAKE HIM STOP PLEASE!!!
Just when i thought i've heard and seen the best, here comes along another cat who is just about.....(speechless)...He's just smokin, this man can stomp down play...Lawd have Mercy!!
Public Service Announcement: Those Six dislikes are just from people who press the dislike to piss us off. They clearly know that there is nothing to dislike about the video, the just love seeing the drama and comments it produces :)
Just don't make NO SENSE! You need yo back wo' out, killing it like that. On a real note, many blessings for the skill and dedication to your craft before the Lord! Tarzene
I've watched this a thousand times... im tryna pick up how he makes his playin sounds different than anybody else... sadly i wanna jus trew away my keyboard...
This is 2023 and this jam still gives me chills
