NORD, please invite this guy to play more often. Can listen to him all the time and not get bored. After all, many videos on your channel with participants who try to take or surprise with speed and complex harmonies begin to tire. They, All, are very good, but once listened to, appreciated and that's it. But Rai, well, how to say... he is different, SPECIAL! Special in terms of energy, in addition to all his amazing qualities.
Apologies for the long winded reply. He can do all of that and most probably a lot more. He is probably the most awe inspiring musician I've come across. Truly gifted (I'm not dismissing the lifetime of practice He must've put in either) His dexterity, independence, speed, technique is world class. Not forgetting his apparent perfect pitch and knowledge of theory and harmonisation. As a drummer I'd love to play with him. It would be a dream. Just check out this video. No instruments, just sat in a car. His breakdown of the harmonisation and improvisation options over it are ridiculous! ua-cam.com/video/YKuuiqpQmnM/v-deo.html
This is why "pop" artists do nothing for me, and I constantly tell people there are actually very gifted people out there you should be admiring instead, like Rai. But alas, the people are retarded.
Sorry, now i compared, Rai played better than Valera in that video, cause he can at the same time playing bass, theme and singing the song. But I think, that Valera can do the same without problems, he virtuoso and biggest russian jazz talent. But i'm agree with you, Rai super musician! )
I don't know how this song didn't make the TOP 40 somewhere. It's got everything going for it: a high energy vibe, Rai's signature soulful vocals, and his amazing jazz piano riffs. This dude's really got it going on.
Like so many Rai Thistlethwayte tunes, he just doesn't seem to collect the audience he deserves. Back in Aus in the 2000's he was on every popular TV show or awards night performance with Thirsty Merc. He is truly a one of a kind musician, and can do it all.
This guy is a quiet storm. He has toured with Satriani, Louis Cole, and so many more - and this dude can play anything. Watching him play rapid fire "sequenced parts" by hand in that Louis Cole video is a mind freak. Serious respect for this guy.
Proof that he is not only a good keyboardist but also a good composer. There are so many talented keyboardists nowadays (with the accessibility of technology and more affordable instruments) that are not only extremely talented and virtuosos, as well as excellent improvisers, but you have to enjoy the moment only, whatever flows through their brain in those seconds. Few minutes later you don't remember what they created, nor them. it is part of the flow of the music naturally. But there are those that not only play, they also create memorable sticky lines, like this guy. And although he is also virtuoso, he doesn't need to display a show of speed to be memorable.
Absolute genius how can anyone listen to this and not appreciate his incredible talent, voice and well, grooving along is essential. Anyone standing still ain't got no soul!
Absolutely the best Nord out there. Everything on top here, tune, talent. And this is way better than the studio version. The full frequent piano, groove and voice is so dominant here and I absolutely love it!
Rai Thistlethwayte is the best!! Nord has to invest more in it because Rai Thistlethwayte makes music for musicians but for people who like to listen to good music
Whether my kids talk about pop stars like Harry Styles or Taylor Swift, I just show them this clip and remind them that way greater talent is objectively found in so many more people than just the shiny ones on TV, like Rai.
I have Stage 3, but piano samples are the same. The general idea is that he has made a split with the synth bass in the lower octaves and piano in the top octaves. Then, we was using the Release parameter to create than sample cutoff effect that Dirty Loops and many others have been known for. In solo part, it sounds like he had changed the top sample to wurlie and added quite a bit of Drive parameter to give it that dirty, overdriven sound. Hope this helps.
Great!! Is this one of the default patches on the Piano 5? If so .. what's it called? If not.. can someone describe how the patch was created? Ive got a Piano 5, but struggling to get anything like this. Thank you!
@@VitaminDada Many thanks. There's a quite a number. I was hoping for a guide as to which ones.. but I'll work my way through them. Cheers for responding

THIS
Cool chords, groovy bassline, amazing hand independence, WHILE HE SINGS?! What more could you want
This is why "pop" artists do nothing for me, and I constantly tell people there are actually very gifted people out there you should be admiring instead, like Rai. But alas, the people are retarded.
Omg I just realised this is the keyboard player from Knower 🤯🤯
Truly how does he do it? Where's the Rai Thistlethwayte Independence Technique book@@FlowieFX
Um, Duh, He's a Freak'n One of a kind, genuine, One and Only. Genius! He's Rai.
his left hand movement beginning at 5:36 cured my depression
He is the best musician I have seen the last 10 years
Not best ) ua-cam.com/video/MSQsrjJVWpw/v-deo.html

@@arthurburton7601 I must admit, these last ten years I have not been keeping an eye out for talent.
Just so happened to stumble on this video.
I do miss real bands these days. He is great, don’t get me wrong. But the WE is better than the I.
I’d love to see him play with victor wooten’s band.
This is the one of the best Nord Artist
One of the most underated artists today..... Glade to see Satch, Via & Johnstone got him performing with them!!!
0:49 Dude in checkered shirt living his best life
I was vibing to my boy!😂
@@TheItalianDrummer let me kiss those rings!
@@TheItalianDrummer boy busted out all his best rings too!
Singing and playing syncopated piano at the same time is already very difficult, then I realized that the bass synth was also played live...
We call this complete hand independence with vocals on top...
This is just god-tier level playing, what an incredible human
I don't know how this song didn't make the TOP 40 somewhere. It's got everything going for it: a high energy vibe, Rai's signature soulful vocals, and his amazing jazz piano riffs. This dude's really got it going on.

this guy should be a brand ambassador for Nord Piano
I like his singing but his piano is just from another planet in terms of grooving. Thank Mr Ray.
He is actually just unreal
Absolute genius how can anyone listen to this and not appreciate his incredible talent, voice and well, grooving along is essential. Anyone standing still ain't got no soul!
Ridiculous! So good. Favorite thing about his playing, to sustain a chord or note-he holds it down, no sustain pedal😆🎵
Incredible performance. I’m proud to be able to realize how talented this man is. So talented that he will only be famous to our community 😢
Multitalent. Love this performance.
Seen multiple live versions of this song on UA-cam and they are all a little bit different but all AWESOME
Phenomenal performance...
Love every bit of it...
Watching From Nigeria/West Africa
NICE!!! I came from the KNOWER video where Rai plays that INSANE one-handed piano solo!
5:10 🔥🔥🔥🔥 SING! Nice tritone sub 👌
I believe that's what the kids these days call a pro gamer move
Rai is out of this world good! Green checkered shirt guy know's where it's at!
Rai is just one amazing Musician.
He's brilliant.
Rai!!! Wooooooo! 🙏🏾🤙🏾
The passion!!
Rai is genius!👍 I really enjoy it

Voguing to the beat son
Crazy goooood… awesome Rai
My man killed that Nord! Fantastic!
Wow, incredibly groovy!
This guy is a keeper! Bravo…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love Ya Rai! You're Next level Genius!
Absolutely the best Nord out there. Everything on top here, tune, talent. And this is way better than the studio version. The full frequent piano, groove and voice is so dominant here and I absolutely love it!
absolute fuckin fire. my lord
Rai has been on a couple tours as a part of Joe Satriani's band and he is amazing! I saw them in Denver two years ago and it was a fantastic show.
Holy fuck! That was a vibe
I didn’t know James LaBrie could play keyboards so good like Jordan!! 😝😝😝
So good!!
Guy in green loves it 🔥
He's in the ZONE, baby! Let's goooo.....
Rai Thistlethwayte is the best!!
Nord has to invest more in it because Rai Thistlethwayte makes music for musicians but for people who like to listen to good music
Jesus, he SINGS!! And his voice is VERY interesting as well! Bravo Rai!
Amazing! Vert gifted musician
More please. Fantastic! Thanks Rai.
Good feeling
He's genius 🤟🙌
Best yet ⭐️
WOW!
Talent!!!!!!!!!
great groove
Awesome
Genius
Brilliant
Whether my kids talk about pop stars like Harry Styles or Taylor Swift, I just show them this clip and remind them that way greater talent is objectively found in so many more people than just the shiny ones on TV, like Rai.
New trend bro !! So good
musical genius at its finest imo
Nice!!
Propuesta fresca, altísimo talento y vocales perfectas,más invitaciones a Raí al Namm
Impressive, very talented guy i like it 👌👍
Esse cara é muito bom. Gosto de muito de ver ele tocar. Parabéns!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
wow!!!!
DISCO-FUNK RULES! Form a band in the vein of Cerrone...Patrice Rushen...Chic...etc...Rai!
Wow soooo gooood man.
Rai is soo goood! I bet these Nord keyboards are very good, but I saw him playing very cheap keyboards, and it was just as brilliant.
This guy quite literally has more talent in his left thumb than most have in their whole body
Sounds great! Reminds me of Michael Ruff!
He is overseen..... like hell
Why isn't Ray a global Superstar?
The very same goes to *Louis Cole*
"…but the people are retarded" - Osho (RAJNEESH)
Probably the simplest answer.
He is simply too good....
”Work for hire: Rai’s bassplayer”
Esse cara é fantástico
Why doesn't the album version sound as amazing as this?
probably cause this performance is the result of nearly a decade's experience of playing this song.
Да! Да! Да!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Til the Ligthts Come On - Spotify
MUITO BOOOM 🤯💓
that guy in blue/green check shirt gets it
I have the same Nord piano 5 and I’m wondering what piano he used sounds very good 👍🏼
I have Stage 3, but piano samples are the same. The general idea is that he has made a split with the synth bass in the lower octaves and piano in the top octaves. Then, we was using the Release parameter to create than sample cutoff effect that Dirty Loops and many others have been known for.

@@eugeneprystupa5075 thank you for the idea I will check out.
TOP
He plays with Knower as well, he's a weapon on the keyboard.
Rad!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Someone needs to transcribe this
This is insanity
every time the monitor in back shows the black guy's bald head, Rai also touches his hair :))
Somehow... Better than the studio version.
There are videos of him playing with Louis Cole and Knower...no wonder..
Great!! Is this one of the default patches on the Piano 5? If so .. what's it called? If not.. can someone describe how the patch was created? Ive got a Piano 5, but struggling to get anything like this. Thank you!
you can also download their patches in the website bro.
@@VitaminDada Many thanks. There's a quite a number. I was hoping for a guide as to which ones.. but I'll work my way through them. Cheers for responding
😮
Brilliant performance. Great upbeat tempo! This needs some air time.
