I enjoy great pianists especially when they are as humble as you. Its really refreshing to see talented musicians that arent cocky and arrogant with the gift God gave them. Keep playing!!! By the way I could listen to this recording all day everyday.
Doc, if u had come to Atlanta playing like this i would have been out of a job! Sheeeshhhh man!!!! That i have decided 2 follow Jesus SLAAAAYYYYEEDDD me Reverend!
I remember all of these songs. Many were my mother's favorites. I agree that this kind of music ministered to the heart as well as ushered people into the presence of God. Back in the day, music was truly a ministry as opposed to today's entertainment gospel. God bless you for posting these powerful hymns.
Almost 8 years later and still a fresh anointing. What a blessing to hear you play these songs. God has really gifted you. My prayer is that when God sees fit to bless us with musicians at our ministry, He will send musicians that know these old songs (or willing to learn), also has the same sound as the sound you are able to produce. Love your style. I know exactly what you mean about the effect the old songs have verses the more recent ones. Nothin lik'em! Be blessed in Jesus' name...!
@sabiamah Thanks a lot. No special arrangement or anything. I really just sat down and started playing. What you hear here is just what happened to come out at the time.
My brother, this is just pure worship, and it's heartening to see that there are still some young musicians who know the hymns. Stay in the flow of worship, and may you continue to be the conduit of true worship. (",)
Good to see a fellow SDA musician. Thanks posting one of our most important elements musicians don't focus on. I give you props for keeping the melody and reharmonizing these songs. Most guys like myself included jazz up these songs with no one recognizing the tune. You gotta share some tips! The passing chords got me making ugly faces!
Hey Fred, I really needed to hear this. I've been going through and there's nothing like the Hymns being played (like you played them) to help clam your spirit. Thank You and God's Continued Blessing on you Brother................You're A Blessing to the Body of Christ.
I feel revived in my soul, GOD BLESS YOU! I am sooo happy to see a child of God using good equipment for the glory of the Kingdom. I wish I had you skill instead of being a beatmaker..lol. But never the less Keep on going on for christ because its what we do for Christ what matters.
@71letitbe45 Thanks a lot. It's the "powergrand" piano sound on the Motif classic. It isn't on the ES. I try to always list the complete specs of my videos in the more info section. But it's kinda hard to find since this last youtube makeover.
Loved the video, man. Definitely keep it up! I do the same thing when I'm not feeling well, play hymns, because its just something that they have that these new songs don't (like you said). Simplicity is the way to go. Really enjoyed this! God bless, man.
I play this vid before I study my bible and before I go to bed, right before I start my homework. So just...thanks for this bro, the power of music and in particular hymns are very underestimated.This brings a soothing mood of meditation. Not too much crazy runs,substitutions and tritones, yet a smooth flow and sometimes a suprising aproach to certain parts. Great playin bro.I wouldnt mind having another vid with the 20-30 most popular hymns hehe Blessings
Dube praise be to God, I love your playing this clip just does it for me. please do more instructional, to help teatch some of us who have just started, I do anything to play like you do
Vee Bran thanks a lot! I sound a lot more polished these days. I kinda cringe watching my old stuff lol. But I keep it up to have record of my progress. And people still enjoy it.
@thomassan17 It's an Apogee Duet audio interface. My motif's l/r outputs are connected to the instrument 1 & 2 inputs to record in stereo. it's connected to the mac via firewire to record into Logic. A lot of people use protools and the MBox 2. Same idea...
IVE BEEN A FAN FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW IM ALSO A DEDICATED SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST MUSICIAN. I WOUDL SAYI AM AT THE INTERMEDIATE LEVEL WANAN GO ADVANCE NOW. YOUR PASSING CHORD R GREAT PLZ SHARE
@praisethelord20 Descending Eb harmonic minor scale. The typical ascending Eb harmonic minor scale is Eb F Gb Ab Bb Cb (B) D Eb. I played it going downwards starting on from Bb Cb Bb then on down. Fingering from the Bb down is easiest if you go 4-3-2-1-3-2-1. (I hope that makes sense) Left hand chord was a Bb7#9 (minus the Bb)...D-Ab-Db. Which could have easily been a Bb7b9 (diminished voicing).
This is really nice and pleasant. And good wholesome music and origins. This should be cut to vinyl and CD. But I respect that you are not in it for the profit. You share your God given talent freely. May the Lord bless and strengthen you in your faith and walk, as you carry your cross daily. It is ironic how the Lord can produce beautiful music through our sufferings.
I so enjoyed the way you played these hymns, they still sounds like hymns. Would you consider doing Because He lives, Near the Cross, There is a fountain, Holy, Holy,Holy, Doxology? It's refreshing to hear someone who can still play hymns. Blessing upon you, thanks.
I remember watching this video 12 years ago and Ive just come back to it and it still blesses me
Never forget your hymns and traditionals musicians. They'll be your closest friends for the rest of your life!!!
Would always come back to this. God bless my brother
4 years later... This is still my absolute favorite video on UA-cam. Thank you for keeping this posted.
How about 7 yrs later?
@@brothercaleb 😂
10 years later... God Bless you

As the Sabbath comes to an end this has been a blessing to me.
Amen! I totally agree with you. Happy Sabbath to you! There's nothing like "Sabbath Rest."
Interesting that Im listening to this in 2020 finishing up my sabbath.🔥
