🚀Hey everyone! I'm thrilled to share my latest video: YMO's "Behind The Mask" Synth Recreation 🔗 th-cam.com/video/NMkxBBpOgPI/w-d-xo.html In this video, we pay homage to the iconic synth-pop pioneers, Yellow Magic Orchestra (YMO). I poured my heart and soul into this project, and I can't wait for you to see it! I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so please drop a comment and let me know what you think. If you enjoy it, don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more content like this. Thanks for your support! Stay synth-tastic, Andy 🎹🎶
Nothing short of wonderful!! Thank you, Andy. May sound strange, but it made me happy to not only listen but watch your hands playing so accurately and enthusiastically!!
Your covers of these classic songs are just incredible. I hear many covers to PF songs. Some are good and some are not so good. There are those who add extra chords or voicings to the original and although they may sound nice, I tend to like the versions like yours which remain true to the original recordings that Rick Wright composed so brilliantly. Excellent work!
This is insane I do believe that you have played it very perfectly , It just shocks me that Richard Wright is so old yet he plays it so perfectly in too dark & too bright places. Much respect for both of you pianists. Thank you very much for putting a real great piano tune.
Congratulations Master! I admire his work very much, I do the same work but with the electric guitar with the solos of David Gilmour, I have a Pink Floyd tribute band in Colombia for more than 15 years. but a synthesizer like you is not available, I would like to share my Pink Floyd solos since I have studied the Gilmour sound for more than 20 years. Thank you for readingme MASTER!
He definitely is! Btw, the electric guitar is part of the backing track i have downloaded from JamKazam. There are very good backing tracks, thou. Cheers!
Hi, any chance I could learn which sound samples you used on your Synth? I would like to replicate this but I am not sure which sounds I would need to use
Dear Sir Andy, You play the song perfectly! And yes by far the single best version on all of YT. Finally, someone got it exactly right! I saw Pink Floyd`s tour Dark Side of the Moon at the Los Angels Forum (I think that the year was in 1974 or 1975). I am also a keyboard player to and have been playing this song for many, many years- but not playing it right... (I also play by ear) and just like everyone else I have heard the song "Time" tens of thousands of times. And even though it is a relatively slow song HOW do you remember all of those notes? ? ? Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks, D
Dear Sir D, Thank you for your comment, really appreciated! The tricky part is the intro... there are a lot of notes and different parts to remember. For the rest of the song (when the Wurlitzer comes in) you need to remember the 3 chord (F#- / A / E) and play all the inversions. Here the rhythmic is very important, which gives the right keyboard flavour for this song. The chorus is much smoother... Hope this will helps. Thanks Andy
Hey! This is awesome, could you do Hey You any time soon? I love the Organ and Rhodes part but couldn't find a really good tutorial, and I love the way you play, just like Wright.
Hey, Andrea, how's it going? I wanted to know how exactly you achieved those Farfisa and Synth Bass sounds. What plug-ins, vsts or settings did you use to make them sound like that? I've been trying to recreate those on my own for a while, but, for some reason, nothing I try sounds quite right. Could you help me with that? Anyway, thanks for the awesome tutorial.
Are the sounds from the Kronos samples running to the computer? I would love to know because I’m really trying to play this song and other Pink Floyd ones and my keyboard’s organ is crap.
i can't hear the left hand at all :( :( and i can't always see which black keys are being pressed. i wish there was a visual for this b/c i want to learn it but i can't hear or see the left hand rhythms.
Wright didn't play most of the left hand rhythms in the actual song. In the intro it's mostly Gilmour on guitar. In the verses it's mostly Waters on bass. Rick does play some left hand bass notes in the odd bars on the Wurly, but on every start of every even bar he holds the bass note (F# or E on verses) on a VCS for that groany tuba sound you hear. The verse chords go F#m, A, E, F#m, and the bridge goes DMaj7, AMaj9, DMaj7, AMaj9, DMaj7, C#m7, Bm7, E. The song is flat-down in F#minor so all the black keys are C#, F# and G#. You can easily figure out the inversions from his playing but really, being a jazz-guy, Rick Wright simply does it in very closed voicing to economize hand movement and it always helps with voice leading as well. The only chord that's odd is the last one, to transition to EmAdd9 in Breathe (Reprise) which also means modulation to Emin that the Breathe is in, which Andrea plays as Bm7b5, but I believe the Floyd actually make that one a F/B - which opens it up and leads into the EmAdd9.
Can the keyboard parts in this song be categorized as the rhythm parts, while the guitar are playing the lead ? I’m having a hard time to differentiate the parts between guitar and keyboard in my band and might just follow how pink floyd did it
Hi Jose, I think you can categorise them as you said... The Wurly is playing rhythmic parts here, while the guitar is adding counterpoints to the main vocal.
Hey, It is a Wurlitzer in both parts, but with different effects. At the beginning it is softer, with chorus, tremolo and long reverb. After it is going through an guitar amp. Much more sharp and aggressive. Hope this helps. Andrea
I learned this for my tribute band, and except for the third to the last chord, I learned it fine from this video and proclaim here that it is THE BEST TIME TUTORIAL ON YOU TUBE HANDS DOWN!!!!
@@jamesstewart3239 hey, thank you. Happy that you found this video helpful for you PF tribute! Btw, the last cords are: B- | Bø | Bø7 | E- (where Breathe Reprise starts). Hope this helps. On my opinion they sound quite good. Let me know! Cheers
Hi, 2:26 - could you tell me how you made the left hand organ part for this please? (i have the exact same gear as you) i've programmed this many times and never got it as close as you have. many thanks 👍🏻

Stay synth-tastic,

50 years have got behind me since I first heard it
And still, is as beautiful as then
Good keyboards bring so much to a song. I saw a Floyd cover band at a small venue and watching the keyboardist was amazing.
Here in UK? Who was the cover band?
Nothing short of wonderful!! Thank you, Andy. May sound strange, but it made me happy to not only listen but watch your hands playing so accurately and enthusiastically!!

Great playing! This video is helping me a lot with learning this masterpiece. Thank you!!
Awesome, mate. I'm trying to play this song by following your moves. Great job.

Thank you!
Simplemente magnifico.
Thank you!
Made my day 😀
Can you please do a step by step video on how to play time
Thanks again for sharing
Jordan ruddes is the specialist of distortion guitar tune maker
He definitely is! Btw, the electric guitar is part of the backing track i have downloaded from JamKazam. There are very good backing tracks, thou.
Cheers!
god damn, what a sophisticated part(
Yes Indeed! I liked it? Wow.!

Bien compare esta bacan
This was amazing. Can you cover some early stuff like astronomy domine or paint box?
Thank you DK
I love Astronomy, so, this is a good suggestion 😊
Genial 🎼💯🎼💯
Hey! This is awesome, could you do Hey You any time soon? I love the Organ and Rhodes part but couldn't find a really good tutorial, and I love the way you play, just like Wright.
Hi, thank you!
I might cover it soon. 👍🏼
hi. great stuff.
is it possible to have the isolated keys track?
if so, i would like to use them for my Time cover project.
thanx
Hey, Andrea, how's it going? I wanted to know how exactly you achieved those Farfisa and Synth Bass sounds. What plug-ins, vsts or settings did you use to make them sound like that? I've been trying to recreate those on my own for a while, but, for some reason, nothing I try sounds quite right. Could you help me with that? Anyway, thanks for the awesome tutorial.
Great job. Is the Farfisa the warbley saw tooth sounding pad or what synth is making that sound?
Hey, thank you for your comment.
Are you referring to the one in the intro?
Yes, that is a farfisa. 👍 Good catch!
Are the sounds from the Kronos samples running to the computer? I would love to know because I’m really trying to play this song and other Pink Floyd ones and my keyboard’s organ is crap.
Description
All Sounds from KRONOS: Intro Clocks and Clicking (Sampled), Bass Synth, Farfisa El.Organ, Wurlitzer.
Can you please post this, but with the keyboard completely isolated?
Hi Harley,
I will post a video explaining how I have created this sounds and isolate them 🙂 Stay tuned
@@AWLSynthCraft Thank you!

Music sheet? Love it
Hi Santiago,
No, unfortunately I have no sheet. All learnt by hear... :D this is the bast way.
Can the keyboard parts in this song be categorized as the rhythm parts, while the guitar are playing the lead ? I’m having a hard time to differentiate the parts between guitar and keyboard in my band and might just follow how pink floyd did it
Hi Jose,
I think you can categorise them as you said... The Wurly is playing rhythmic parts here, while the guitar is adding counterpoints to the main vocal.
did you learn this from isolated tracks, or did can you pick out all the notes from the main mix? that's impressive
Hi Andrew,
I study all the parts from the original songs. I try to be as accurate as possible...
I don't have a computer my keys are the korg r3 with vocoder and 2 Yamaha's. Thanks for the tutorial though
1:55
👍
Is there sheets online for this?
No sheet, my friend... sorry
Hey, what piano sound do you use in the ticking part and after that?
Hey,
It is a Wurlitzer in both parts, but with different effects.
At the beginning it is softer, with chorus, tremolo and long reverb.
After it is going through an guitar amp. Much more sharp and aggressive.
Hope this helps.
Andrea
@@AWLSynthCraft thank you
Do you happen to have sheet music for this?
Hi Flynn,
no, unfortunately. I am learning and playing songs by ear...
do you have the sheet music?
Unfortunately no. I am learning by ear
loved this Cover, let me know what you think of my cover, Thank's I also left a like
Sound of Distortion guitar was needed to be more melodic
Hi,
I have used backing tracks downloaded from JamKazam.
I am very happy with them.
Thanks
this is not a tutorial!!!!!!
Hey,
As far as you can see the keys... you can press the same ones on your keyboard... 👌🏻
@@AWLSynthCraft I can see the fingers of stevie vai on his guitar too, this does not mean, however, that the video is a tutorial.
@@florentcartalade6578 I hear you, but my technic is faaar away from Vai. We are talking about Time, not Juice... 😁
I learned this for my tribute band, and except for the third to the last chord, I learned it fine from this video and proclaim here that it is THE BEST TIME TUTORIAL ON YOU TUBE HANDS DOWN!!!!
@@jamesstewart3239 hey, thank you. Happy that you found this video helpful for you PF tribute!
Btw, the last cords are: B- | Bø | Bø7 | E- (where Breathe Reprise starts).
Hope this helps.
On my opinion they sound quite good.
Let me know!
