    I find it astonishing that we can interact with our musical idols like this today. Imagine in the past if you weren't sure how to play Eruption and you said "let me just ask Eddie"..and he showed you lol.

    Jordan's a cool chap. Got to incidentally hang with him watching a Steven Wilson show, while we made occasional commentary between one another throughout. Always seems to have witty things to say.

      It’s on cameo, it’s mostly for birthday wishes and stuff for 50 dollars, and I took the opportunity to ask him to do this. Best spent 50 dollars in my life! I bet he would have done it for free too, but cameo is an easy way to get in contact!

  • @cwjalexx
    @cwjalexx 3 роки тому +16

    Good to know that even virtuosos find fast octaves hard. Fast octaves are just SO hard to make sound clean. The most annoying thing is when you can play an entire piece at like 90% mastery but then there’s one section of fast octaves that you play at like 20% mastery and it sounds like crap.

    • @fredrikjohansson
      @fredrikjohansson  3 роки тому +4

      Yeah, and the audience will remember those 20 % 🥲

    • @cwjalexx
      @cwjalexx Рік тому

      @Shawaiz Yazdani the part at 1:40. an octave is the interval between, for example, middle C and the next C on the piano. what I mean by 'fast octaves' is when you have to play many different octaves quickly. it's the part at 1:40 where jordan says 'that's the hard part' and you can hear him mess up. i can move my fingers pretty quickly but with fast octaves it's more like hand speed rather than finger speed...or something....i just know I'm bad at it.

Great minds...(...sigh...) and to think, I taught him everything he knows...
