When you have completed the game 100% and now you're just doing all the side quests from the beginning...
lol yup - new game + mode with allllllll the powers
Hahahahah that was brilliant!
Or the other way around. Completed all the side quests then take on the first boss.
thank you for unlocking my words that I can't explain😅😊
best comment
this man can process music faster then any cpu in this world
Hahaha completely agree!
no, literally, he can. i've done some work on trying to build some AI tools to help musicians play music by ear more easily, and i don't know any tool that can hear the first note of a song and immediately tell you what it is.
The universe has a beginning and an end. This man is the beginning of music@@PraiseYeezus
@@PraiseYeezusI can do this
No, he missing the move to Bb
I’m not a Dream Theater guy but each member of this band is so talented it’s sick.
Except James LaBrie lol
@@laaaliiiluuu lol!!! we all love James LaBrie we have to accept it ....
@@laaaliiiluuuhe used to be incredible but sadly got food poisoning so yeah now not that great
@@Gonzka_ Really? I haven't followed them for years but used to be a big fan. What happened after the food poisioning.
@@Podus81 I believe he raptured his vocal cords after vomiting a lot. They also went on a tour shortly after so he didn't have enough time to heal. So that made it even worse.
An absolute MASTER at his craft. Those of us Dream Theater fans would absolutely love a version of this video that is just the booth to see their reactions as these people learn what we've known for decades. I love sharing him and this band with everyone.
The booth reactions were fantastic.
Non-sequitur: It’s neat that your picture is the Reason logo… 😂
@@Koncs86 yep! Loves me some Reason!
Make this is a series with this man. I'd watch every episode. This was incredible!
Dream Theater baby!
Stay tuned ;)
Make it A series with different musicians!!!!
Like hearing Jacob Collier, Pat Metheney, Herbie Hancock or Aaron Goldberg would be cool- if you can pull it off lol @@PianoteOfficial
There’s another channel that does this with popular drummers. Piano seems much more difficult to just play a song off the cuff though. Super interesting content!
@@perks8334can you share the name that youtube channel, please?
As a 50 year drummer I watch the Drumeo series with the same format. This blew me away. Wayyy harder than adlibbing a beat. The man is a master of his craft.
Maybe, but he doesn't get Hip Hop...the backing track is in service to the emcee...this stuff is way too out front.
@@kernalbert4939of course, but this entire channel is piano first. It's not that he "didn't get it", how boring would it be if he just played a plain backing medley.
@@kernalbert4939 And you don't get this man's talent. He's insanely fast not only while playing, but also in his brain. I hear dozens of different awesome melodic ideas in there that are beautiful. He's not there to play a boring pop song, of which he can compose about 50 a day, he's there to show us how crazy talented he is.
His teacher went to his parents when he was very young to tell them how nice it was that he was taking piano lessons. His parents replied that he didn't take any lessons and that they didn't have a piano at home. He just sat behind a piano at school and was able to play immediately. He doesn't need to get hip hop.
as a 97 years old burger king worker i agree
came here for the same reasons and my hair is blown back
This is the first time that I’m watching a Pianote video and I am completely flaggerblasted. The way this man knows the keyboard, the velocity his fingers move and the way he just creates as he’s listening along is fascinating. Truly a genius.
Also, the first time he heard the track with the original piano, he instantly played the correct notes and then proceeded to have fun the rest of the time. That’s awesome.
He plays keys in Dream Theater. Everyone in the band is this skilled. One can be just as surprised watching videos featuring the guitarist, the bassist, and the drummer. Dream Theater's music doesn't appeal to everyone, but anyone can appreciate and enjoy the skills of every member when displayed like in this video. They are all iconic among players of their respective instruments.
@@centerfear-mysterycrimerec3627 Love Dream Theater.
@@centerfear-mysterycrimerec3627well put. Truly iconic. And very much not kept peoples cup of tea at the same time. Fascinatingly talented.
I wouldn’t put Labrie in there but maybe I’m wrong on that
@@centerfear-mysterycrimerec3627LOL love that you mentioned guitar, bass, drums... but not vocals xD poor Labrie, among such giants...
The ignorance in the control booth is strong
Sometimes the internet give you a life changing moment! I am blown away. Thank you to all who put his production together. 👏👏👏
Never did I think I'd listen to the pianist for Dream Theater playing honky-tonk over Empire State of Mind, but here we are. And it makes my soul happy.
😮
Imagine if he had patches prepared
That's interesting. I feel like if you listen to Dream Theater you are basically constantly expecting either a honky tonk or ragtime second on every song, for literally no musical reason.
@@christopheroquist5738 "Musical reason" implies there is a set path for music to follow...more of a you problem rather than the composer's problem.
Honky Tonk? You mean ragtime?
I love when Jordan hears the full track, he’s like “oh ok”, plays the exact notes, and then proceeds to jam over the whole thing. What amazing talent!
Focused dedicated effort. "Talent" is something only talked about by people who can't comprehend that skills can be developed.
@@whatilearnttoday5295 “Focused dedicated effort” is only talked about by people who dream that they can achieve that level of talent.
@@whatilearnttoday5295still a talent😂
Takes very little talent to play over these simple pop songs, but Jordan just takes it out of the park
Beautiful
this shows how good the band dream theater is. Imagine all of them have this kind of skills with their respective instruments. Its unbelievable😮
They are all technically great, the problem is that the music they make isn't great
Too bad all that talent gets stained once James LaBrie starts to sing
@@tmondecar sad but true :P
Thankyou..... I've been a fan since the 90s, and since the 90s I've wished they had a better vocalist, I can't really listen to them these days.@@tmondecar
Yesss, LaBrie is so not on the level of these guys.
But who would be the best singer for them?.....
Myles Kennedy?
It's amazing to see the level of connection he has with his piano. His hands are flying all over the keys while his eyes are closed. His take is so complex, so much more than the original. Delightful
Ive neever heard a keyboard guitar solo sound this amazing before.
Check out Ronald Jenkees
And the fact he improvised it sheesh
@@marker113I was just about to say that. Wild that he is still known after all these years. It had to be a decade ago or more I first watched his videos
@@aesop2733All I ever wanted was to pick apart the day & put the pieces back together my way
Bro what was that?!
It’s interesting how, because the piano is removed, until we get to the chorus there is no indication of what key we are in! So Jordan was taking it in a completely different direction tonally! Then when the vocal arrived at the chorus he very quickly clocked the correct chords and by 3:20 was SHREDDING!! 😂🤩
Pretty crazy right?!!!!!!!!!
Do you bass , and note melody indication ( rap)
No because he can hear the elementary school bass toggle back and forth between keys and then go to b flat ultimately which leads into the chorus
Easy song to figure out
@@wendellhanes1no don’t discount or undermine his abilities
The amazing thing here is, it should be dissonant to the original but what he did just fits perfectly if you play it with the original.
i see... this is what talent + perfect pitch + passion + perseverance can achieve... wow...
The thing about Rudess, he’s such a cool dude. Very humble, quiet, but you can tell his mind is like a steel trap and he’s always thinking and seeing in notes…
The few occasions I’ve run into him have been a blast.
I love it whenever Drumeo does this w/ their guest musicians, and I'm so happy that another YT channel is adopting it for a different instrument. Bravo! Bring on more musicians covering different genres!
They are part of the same company, so it makes sense👍🏻
This happens a every church every Sunday ..
Crossover is always beautiful
Spot on, I thought the exactly same thing
I just wanna see jazz pianists reharmonize pop songs on the fly
This is like when, in the movie Amadeus, Mozart hears a Salieri's piece once and immediately learns it, improves it and then starts shredding over it
YES! 😂😂😂
And Jay-Z watching this like Emperor Joseph: “too many notes”
@@tylerleon8888Jay-Z would turn on the "Count Orsini-Rosenberg mode".
I just love the way not many people can relate to this statement😂😂
@@muzikimtaani precious few
Man I love his reaction when got the right key and hearing the song with the track then proceeds to work his magic.
What I love about this isn't just Jordan's skill and instinct but Lisa's genuine joy and amazement. I love watching her voice-appraisals and lessons because of her enthusiasm for music and people's individual tonality: she genuinely builds people. And that's what we're all here for. Seeing people having fun, playing with things and loving the process is just so infectious.
8:48 when he changed "Empire state of mind" to "Saloon State of mind"... this man is brilliant... how do i play like him, to know things off of a whim...
Some of the extra colors when he first started playing straight piano along with the beat were actually phenomenal
agreed. mad funky. He was following the expressions of Jay
4:51 ! These happiness!🔥
Asking Jordan rudess from dream theatre to play a pop song is like asking a 7star chef to make a bread toast
In a world filled with talented people, Jordan Rudess is truly in the upper echelons. Had the pleasure of meeting him 23 years ago when he first joined Dream Theater, and have been a fan ever since. This was a joy to the ears.
Wow.....ur so lucky😊😊
This is one of the most impressive videos I've seen in the past 10 years on UA-cam.... this guy is so talented I almost shed a tear...
There's "talented" and then there's "gifted."
This dude got into Juliard at the ripe old age of 9.
i did shed tears
What's crazy to me (as a guitar player) is he recently started playing guitar and he's absolutely amazing.
@@ActuallyEric He went to Juilliard Pre-College at age 9. The program is for kids aged 8-18.
I said the same thing
The instant creativity and ability to swap between completely different ideas are inspirational. I do not know one thing about music, but I play around with improv acting as a hobby and really do admire the speed and range of his creativity showcased here. There's a lot of multitasking going on in flowing smoothly from one idea to the next. Neither getting stuck with in train of thought, nor getting jumbled with too many ideas at once. To keep that headspace whilst performing requires 100% pressence and a deep rooted technical ability.
I take my hat off, sir!
I've been a mega fan of his since the late 90s. Seen him in Dream Theater 6 times. He's... magic. A straight up wizard.
I love how everyone in the control room looks as astonished and amazed as I feel while watching this. Jordan is one of a kind for sure. I think Jordan is just as important as John Petrucci when it comes to the sound and feel of Dream Theater's music. Jordan and John together = magic.
I thought they were more laughing at the ridiculous over the top of it. Doesn’t fit the vibe.
@@Technocosm Exactly, it's all about fun. Obviously he's not the guy you would call in for an actual studio recording for Alicia Keys. You can get anyone for that, won't matter.
@@Technocosm still he did an amazing job. He's the wizard.
Actually, it was Portnoy and Petrucci the double magic.
He is the real star. Dt fans just don't see it because guitars are cool.
The moment @10:50 hits something truly special happens. It’s like the original song never truly had a dramatic climax and out of some other dimension he pulls what is perhaps one of the most beautiful 20 seconds I have ever heard. I have no idea what happened, how it happened, and I don’t think I’ll ever find another moment that transcendent.
That is the word! Transcendent!!
You were taken to the Jordanverse. I've visited on occasion, when he does something that gives me chills.
He's playing augmented fifths for a triumphant sound, similar to the Rocky theme
@@skyd171 Ah ty!
@@graham1403for me, it's the song Blind Faith from SDOIT. Chills.
Jordan is one of the musical geniuses of our time. Nothing to do, but enjoy him and his creativity. I'm so glad he's now available for the new generations to appreciate too.
What a gifted musician Jordan are. It's always a privilege to see him playing.
The existence of this video significantly improves UA-cam. Astonishing in every regard. I also love enjoying the responses of the production team! True audiophiles.
Astonishing, you say? 😏
I remember Petrucci saying that when Jordan join the band, he did throw his most complex licks at him just to see Jordan processing and replicating them instantly. It was a long time ago so I can remember the exact quote, but still... this man is amazing.
Dream Theater is just amazing
Portnoy said the same about Bumblefoot haha.
I think Petrucci said that he writes and Jordan perfects it
@@sixmillionaccountssilenced6721really?... Petrucci is on another level than bumblefoot..😅😅🤭 his musical technicality is just insane..
@@allenalla7498bumblefoot is a freak of nature
First saw this with drummers on Vimeo. Now with a keyboardist. I'm loving it. Watching great artists create their own spin on great art...just the sheer joy of musical expression and experimentation. Keep going!
Jordan= Dream Theater= Improvisación=EXCELENCIA. Mis respetos y admiración.
This is mind blowing.
My favorite part : 8:37 when he starts playing ragtime style. I don't know why, but I had tears rolling down my face.
The word was said at the beginning of the video : he is a wizard.
thanks for pointing that out. I wasn't thinking of it that way but you're right! that was badass!
YES! so good!
Best part of the video indeed!
Totally made me laugh, what a musician.
I had tears rolling down my face too.
I AM TOTALLY HERE FOR THIS FORMAT!!! I'm familiar with Drumeo doing this, but we definitely need a piano version of that! Please keep these coming!
Agreed...obviously drawing information from the superb Drumeo videos like this. What I believe would make these special in their own way is how much more freedom a pianist has and how much more they can do with a song. This could be very cool when they get the right people.
These series where these incredible artists can put their own interpretation to songs are amazing to watch!
make it as a seriessss!!!! this is what we need!!!! jordan is so freaking perfect, just a peek of the song he manage to play it like original! so happy by watching this
Yes, I second this. I love the format of this. Space for self-discovery and then remixing the original. Please consider making this a series with Jordan at the helm, and your wonderful reactions.
There are pianists, then him 🎉🎉🎉
He's something else!
Amazing ❤, more of these sessions please 🥺
Can't decide if I should be inspired or totally frustrated.
Right now I tend to lean towards the latter.
Honestly I'm thinking about throwing my piano out of the window and switching to Jaw Harps...😁😉
During covid times, i watched him playing guitar and its insane.
Skill wise, Nahre Sol could give him a run for his money, both of them are Julliard graduates
What a genius !!!! OMFG... no words...
The reactions from both the control room and Jordan were priceless.
This video should have billions of views. Jordan is a national treasure 🫡
The way Jordan mouthed "oh my god" and that face of happy realization when the piano track surpassed his expectation made me smile. Alicia Keys definitely hit you in the right spot which made this song so iconic. Witnessing Jordan's moment of joy and jamming to the song totally made my day. Thank you!
Please tell me that you are just kidding.
@@mantelmann13more often than not, less IS more
And the way he thought It was "clever".. I was like oh at least he thinks the Queen is clever 😂....the last versión yes...needs to go back to the studio with her!
What are you talking about? This video only solidified my long held opinion that hip hop isn't real music.
@@michaelpark5681 You're allowed to have an opinion, but calling hip hop not real music is a bit much. Music is just a string of sounds strung together and its meant to move you the way the artist intends to. Hip hop is trying to move you with words. If its not your thing, fine, but straight up calling it not-real is just being ignorant.
When he selected the Pull me Under Preset... Ok here we go my man! Big DT fan for years
Jordan is simply incredible. He is operating at a genius concert pianist level… his “guitar” playing is better than 99% of players out there… just astonishing…
Been a fan of his since he joined Dream Theater in ‘99, and the guy can still make absolute magic, and make it look so effortless and playful.
Same bro! I was in 11th grade when I first heard DT's SFAM, and WOW! I've been a fan ever since....I'm 38 now.
Oh he’s from Dream Theater? Hmm would’ve been nice if the video actually stated that at all.
@indilandojones Almost the same experience. When I was in high school my drum instructor introduced me to Dream Theater. I just happened to buy Scenes From a Memory as my first album of theirs and to this day still consider it the best. That album did not leave my car's cd player for over 1 year straight my senior year. I listened to it over and over without end. The best was when I would pull out of the parking lot on a Friday and it just so happened the last track had just kicked in "Feelin good this Friday afternoon..." I'm 40 now.
@@ababafgatg It...it did though. It's also in the description
Jordan is a freak of nature man. The guy is so knowledgeable about music in general, but his ability with the keys is from another dimension. It is a joy to see him playing
"A freak of nature", Mike Mangini just released that song too lol
A literal wizard!
this video makes me cry, This man has a way of transmitting the music that runs through his veins. its just amazing, thanks for this masterpiece.
Bro, that brought me to tears! Your mastery is unreal.
That chromatic run down into the chorus is so incredible.
if alicia hears this she will 100% play that the next time she does this live 😆
@@andrewtregoning 100% and she should :D
Could you tag the time stamp, please? 🥺
@@Ger360Master 7:46
That whole chorus hits like crack, so good sheesh
Even as a drummer it is mesmerizing to watch him play so effortlessly
I love how giddy the 'that was awesome' was at the ending, she's genuinely blown away. Great content.
The way he ended that second run through improved an already great song! He's so good
More of these types of videos pleeaaasseee 🙏😭😭. I'm already addicted to the drumeo ones and this was satisfying on a whole new level!
yes please @pianote
I concur. I am a Pianote member, but I watch Drumeo Live Streams a lot because they have awesome musicians consistently. For 7 years in, somehow Pianote doesn't seem to have cut their chops yet!!!
Same. Watched loads of the Drumeo ones. They’re great.
Bingo !!!! huge follwer growth with this type pf content and truly shows masters of their craft
Brought me to tears. A world class new York pianist vibing out to this track on piano for the first time
I really love that you could see the pleasant joy on his face when the original piano track is introduced. He probably never thought they would go together and he instantly fell in musical love with the idea and just went to town.
Jordan would be the best demo man on every exhibition
Its honestly mind boggling that so many artists exist in this world who would never even hear a song and have the chance to add something to it, and seeing what he did in such a short time was inspiring and at the same time heart breaking.
This guy is my hero and I just heard him for the first time. It's literally how you envision wanting to know music when you first start playing. Protect that man at all costs. Mind blown.
Dream Theater :) You won't regret listening to them.
Dream Theater my friend. You're welcome.
Go and listen to Dream Theater man. 😊
It’s the thoughts in your head when you’re listening but if you could actually play it in the moment, absolutely amazing
@@perks8334Everyone can play given the time but what makes someone unique is the ability to put melody into it
His mind has full of tones and sounds, this is the top of the iceberg
4:05 omg wth 🤣🤣🔥🔥
Had the opportunity to see Jordan perform countless times, met him twice, such an incredibly talented guy.
Such a nice guy in person. Petrucci was super chill as well! Met them both at a meet and greet before they performed on the self-titled tour cycle!
If you are not familiar with Dream Theater then you have missed out on the band that turned most musicians on to this incredible player.
You misspelled it *Liquid Tension Experiment
@@AlanJohnPeachuniversal mind!
@@AlanJohnPeachnah. Way more people know Ruddess through DT than Liquid Tension
Whole Dream Theater :-)
@@zennyfrommogaFair I suppose, from my experience was the opposite. I and nearly any metalhead friend I had found Dream Theatre's vocals kinda naff, and didn't bother, but heard "acid rain" and put it on repeat over and over
he maybe the greatest pianist/ keyboardist in the world ive never seen anything like it
😮 AMAZING. Guitar part was so DOPE.
Truly a wizard of the KEYS.
Thanks for bringing him on the show.❤
The Ragtime bit was just absolute mind-blow that came out of nowhere. What an absolute Legend.
2024 and still think that the way he played is out of this world
You gotta go all in and make this a series, find music unknown to him. This is how new style of music is born.
Utterly mind-blowing musicality. Yes, he's shredding, but it's never mindless or uncalled for. I love every minute of it and could watch it for hours.
lol, 90% of it was mindless shredding. The vast majority of it does not fit with the song whatsoever and is just a shredding showcase completely overshadowing what any part of the original song is doing
@@TheChillMelodistjust sounds like he's messing around and having fun with it to me
@@TheChillMelodist What Jordan did was make the original at least someone bearable to listen to.
@TheChillMelodist
Yep, that's Jordan Rudess allright. He's a very accomplished keyboard player, but he just LOVES overplaying. "Too many notes" is his method operandus unfortunately. He doesn't pay heed to what the song needs, he wants to show off and plays the most tacky, tasteless improvisations.
I actually like show off musicianship, but Jordan Rudess is too much for me. (Rick Wakeman falls into the same category).
@@Deadman6699 ahh yes another prog music elitist who MUST hate any form of mainstream music.
My dude just upgraded those hit tracks by 5000% in an improvised session! That's why I love Progressive Music!
For anyone unaware, this guy is in dream theater. All of them are insanely talented let alone by the fact that jamming together is how they come up with new ideas for songs. This is the equivalent of having a michellin star chef make pancakes
This man is amazing. His ability to think on the fly and use an instrument that makes the song even better
The orchestral additions this guy just made.. relaunch the single with it
Jordan Rudess is an all time great. Seeing him in concert with Dream Theater is always worth it!
@02:00, he got it and there was no turning back...really amazing!
Haven’t thought of Jordan in years. Forgot how incredibly insanely good he is at the keys!! And perfect pitch?! Whaaa?!!! 😮 So inspiring. Haven’t felt so inspired since watching clips of Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum years ago. Super cool vid!! 👏 👏 👏
I've been a fan of Dream Theater for 30 years now, and while Jordan hasn't been with them that long, he has been with them for somewhere around 20 of those years and I have never been more impressed than I am right now. That was awesome.
Thank you for getting him in the studio to do this. :)
Dream Theater - such a legendary band. Ahhhh...
Been relistening their first albums lately. Masterpieces of such an uncanny caliber
When you meet someone who's familiar with them - you simply know you're dealing with a fellow men of culture 🙏
I'd say 20yrs is quiteeeee long
It’s been almost 25 years dude.
@@SixStryng Yeah, that's "around 20" years.
@@SwedeSpeeder No, no it's not. It's closer to around 25 years smdh.
The one thing about people with people with perfect pitch, is that they’ll let you know they have perfect pitch
haha thats so true
That last riff on the first take was insane
Ladies and gentleman, the greatest keyboardist of our time. Bravo!!!
I could watch this for hours and hours of him doing this to tons of songs. This should be a weekly series with him lol
Worked with him a few times. Such a great musician and super kind and sincere. That will not fade in a memory.
It's always struck me over the years how genuinely nice Rudess and Petrucci are.
They really are. Every time I’ve met either one of them, they’ve sat down and talked with me like I was someone really important, and I’m a nobody.
that hand man, this man lived a magnificent life from that hand alone. its a clear gift.
Seen Dream Theater with Kevin More, Derek Sherinian and Jordan Rudess. All masters.
Dude we need more of him.
Jordan is a genius. His knowledge of music is phenomenal. And his ability to adapt to and create music is truly incredible.
Always love checking out what’s running through Jordan’s mind.
The guy can make you laugh and cry all at the same time.
Inspirational… Thank you!
It's so incredible to see a musician on this level just shredding and sounding soooooo beautiful!!! LOVE IT!
I didn't think I could love his performance more, and he kept stepping up levels. Ridiculously good! I hope Jay Z sees this and gives Jordan a call. We need a reboot!!
Let'ssssss Gooooo! Would love to hear that version happen! 🤘🏻
Yeah they totally need this arrogant keyboard nerd trying to steal spotlight and not listen to anyone.
Except that this was horrible and nothing he played at any moment complemented the track. Period.
What lol @@albiewitz2686
The man just invented progressive pop 😅
Actually, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys did it with Pet Sounds, then The Beatles copied him and from then on, many psychedelic rock and prog rock bands were influenced.
Without The Beach Boys, there would be no prog rock.
Listen to some Frost*. Jem Godfrey takes the "prog pop" idea to an insane level, and he's nearly the same calibre of keybordist as Jordan.
😂 😉 👏
Ever heard of "It Bites" just to name one of the great pop prog rock band
Listen to Thomas Lang is an amazing drummer, he has an album called progpop, is mindblowing 👌🏻
I remember when I was young watching my grandmother play piano. What I called the “united way song” was my favorite. I was in awe of what she could play. Watching him, I can hardly keep my haw off of the floor. Absolutely amazing!! Makes me wish grandma would have taught me!
He took the song into a different universe 😭😭🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love when Jordan closes his eyes and starts to 'lock in' on what he is hearing. Simply phenomenal.
Lisa, I also LOVE your reactions as well. Proud to be part of the Painote journey.
8:00-8:06 is so perfect kinda wish it was in the actual song instead of the original lol
WTF IS GOING ON HERE!! THIS IS NUTS
WE NEED A SERIES WITH THIS MAN!!!
The second part of the video when Jordan listens the original song and included his arrangements reminded me the ‘Amadeus’ movie when Mozart first meet Saglieri. 😅 Jordan Rudess talent is simply amazing and he is the real wizard of the keys ! 👏👏👏
Exactly what I was thinking! Even had a little chuckle in there.
Ha! That's exactly that!🥳🥳🥳🥳
Es lejos la mejor parte del video 🔥(siempre se las arregla para tocar un ragtime xd)
