It’s great to watch and hear the different physical synth pianos before the rise of famous ones. Both are remarkable. Love the muted and quiet sound of this
Dear author, I want to thank you very much for this video. For the instrument itself, for this composition, for your playing. The fact is that about 3 years ago I accidentally heard this composition on your channel and this partially influenced my initial interest in the Rhodes instrument. After this video, through the chain, I met Marcin Grochowina on TH-cam and finally made my choice in the direction of Rhodes. And as for this video of yours, at the beginning of my journey I spent a very long time making a similar arrangement, and later I even started my own TH-cam channel, where I display my creativity. Once again I want to say thank you very much and good health!
I had the same exact Rhodes when I played with a band in the late 70s. I had to sell it when I needed money and regret it to this day. Thank you for the playing this beautiful song that exemplifies the Rhodes sound 🎹❤️
Eu não sou pianista e estou querendo aprender tocar guitarra, mas esse cover do Billy Joel no piano Rhodes eu tenho que comentar porque ficou muito bom. Esse tipo de piano tem um timbre bem anos 70 e é o tipo de instrumento que os artistas não usam mais em suas músicas. Parabéns pelo cover. Se o Billy Joel ouvisse esse cover acharia muito bom.
For some reason in my earliest memories of hearing music i recall hearing this very same fender rhodes tone. Living in long island as a child and having this had been my parents wedding song I heard this tune ALOT. not even kidding when I say this is my favorite piano cover on all of youtube. I can close my eyes and I'm in second grade at mt pleasant elementary school again. I'd love to hear another billy joel song on this piano
Absolutely succulent sounding Rhodes. Dripping with fullness and character. Then there's the perfection execution of the playing. Far better example of this song than anything I hoped to find, frankly. ...tone of that keyboard is just sick. Mine is great sounding but this recording is ridiculous.
This video may be one of my favorites on TH-cam.. Whenever I'm feeling sad or whatever, I always come back to this video... that melody, that incredible sound, the way you arranged it reminds me every time how much I love music, my first and last love. Thank you so much for this
Best rendition of this classic I have ever heard...masterful and tasteful approach which is so spot on and a perfectly tuned Rhodes which nails the original track. It really doesn't get any better than this people. No self-indulgence here either...he just serves the music, just the way it is...pun intended. What a joy! Thank you for this it made my day!
+pianistjustforfun Just curious, I have an old Rhodes and need to tune it and start practicing...you have inspired me big time to get back into it. Did you tune it up yourself? Any recommendations for any sites that can help with getting mine tuned up like this? Thanks again and you have a new fan! Bob
tuning pitch is quite simple. you can do it yourself with a digital guitar tuner for example. just move the springs in the right direction. whole restauration is very complicated...
+pianistjustforfun Ok, it works just needs adjustments...I will try to do this I'm pretty handy I recapped my tone generator on my RT-3 (a real pain) so I should be ok. Thanks again
The sound is fine, the playing awesome, the best cover i have ever heard, and the view on your hands allowed me to learn the song on my piano : a thousand thanks, god bless you
Spot on! This is such a Beautiful Song and you play it well. I love the easy piano. TH-cam recommended your video because I listen to a lot of piano pieces on TH-cam. 😊👍❤❤❤
So many here write about the sound. When I find something like this I first of all look how he is playing. And your playing - makes me happy. It is absolutely flawless and I love in particular the precision of your rhythm. So I really hope that you became successful as a piano player and lead a happy life. You deserve it!
It's also a demo song on my super basic yamaha ez-200. I grew up with it and now that I found out the full name of this song, I found I like the one on my keyboard more than the official song on the album
Bruno Mars is a great artist, but a long way from writing classics like this... Amazing performance and what an instrument. Thanks for sharing this here!
my very first electronic keyboard, the Rhodes, I ended up donating it to a School of Music.....with the modern keyboards of today, you can get much cleaner sounding Rhodes and all it's variations.....you did a nice job here, as I am currently working on this song as a project and was able to follow all of your chords.....good work!!
One of the sweetest sounds that came out of the 70's.
Hey, i´m 60´s...
one of the few god things that came out of the 70s
@@doom5895 you must be joking, the best blues and rock is from 70s
@@olorb2618 yep no contest!
Back here to listen to this again after many years. Still a fantastic performance. Thank you.
Oh man so well played sounded so beautiful those old Rhodes really sound dreamy good 🙏👍
It is physically impossible to only listen to this once.
I feel like youtube's been recommending a lot of this old stuff to remind us of the good old times.
:-)
I like your outlook my man
Trust me... TH-cam has no interest or awareness of “the good old times.”
Good tiNes.
@@scottmccord7552 This is true...TH-cam algorithm sends like videos to your feed! Besides...TH-cam employees are all 20 somethings lol.
This song is why Rhodes Piano is my favorite instrument. It's so gentle and calming.
9 years later and it still hits just as good 😁
11year later too.
One of the prettiest pop songs ever written.
It’s great to watch and hear the different physical synth pianos before the rise of famous ones.
Both are remarkable.
Love the muted and quiet sound of this
I come back to this video all the time. You're killin it on that rhodes. Awesome work.
So you´re the one who is responsible for all those clicks... :-)
+pianistjustforfun I feel kinda bad - there should be more clicks from me, but I recorded it and put it on my iPod to play in the car years back. :^)

Looks like I might be the first one here - see everyone a bit later when the algorithm adopts this video! Good work dude.
It's been adopted
It really has. Which is good. Very well indeed ☺️
This is literally 8 years old, you’re not the first, lol. He was great though!
@@CephaLynchPod that's not what he meant. It is being readopted or rediscovered by the algorithm. See all the new comments and recent discoveries.
It's successful bro! Good job!
Beautiful playing of a true classic man! 1978 lives again!
Single release of this cover 2021-03-08 on Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music / iTunes, Napster, Deezer. See video description above.
Excessively excited for that, this is the most meditative video I’ve seen on this website
You played that Rhodes like cuddling the sound of a water drop. I got goosebumped like literally
A great performance of a beautiful song, on one of the most lovely sounding instruments ever built. Gotta love the Rhodes.

Beautifully nostalgic for me....reminds me of my grown estranged children I’ve not seen for twenty years....So sad am I.
8 years later but here we are. Love the cover, really nice job.

A lot of American TV shows used the electric piano. I love this song well played ❤
THAT piano sound 🥰. What a fabulous rendition of this classic Billy Joel track. Thank you for posting 👍
Me encanta el sonido del Rhodes, y mas con semejante melodía ❤. Cuánto quisiera poder tocar asi .

Oh man!! The sound of that Rhodes is so good I don't even miss the phaser!
Out of all "Just The Way You Are" covers, this one still triumphs and resonates with me ten years later.
Great ! It's watching performances like this that makes me want to take over piano lessons again....
Самый лучший видео- ракурс! Пожалуйста играйте так все произведения, потому что это помогает видеть и учиться какие клавиши надо нажимать. Спасибо.
The sound is fine, the playing awesome, the best cover i have ever heard, and the view on your hands allowed me to learn the song on my piano : a thousand thanks, god bless you
Impecable interpretación e impresionante el sonido en el Fender Rhodes Piano, Excelente uno no se cansa de repetirlo y disfrutar...👍😎👻

Just a gorgeous sound. I didnt like mine when I was a kid and now I see what I have on my hands. 1979 too, but mine is a mark II stage 73

I like the way you walk the left hand!
Reminds me of better times even though I didn't exist when this instrument was at peak popularity.
Awesome played, fantastic sound from that Rhodes!
This is the real Rhodes sound in all its glory - beautiful!
I can feel the warmth of the sun with this song even in Siberian winter.
Woww.. the real Rhodes.. thanks for this awesomeness! Your playing funastic!
Beautiful song, beautiful tones from the rhodes. Well done!
Esse é o melhor. A execução mais agradável. Perfeita. Parabéns. Lindo mesmo.
This cover has the same magic as the original composition.
You have made me emotional again.
Congratulations.
So smooth love the vibe... talented indeed . Fender Rhodes ...nothing like it.
Amazing sound from this old Rhodes electric piano. The player is also quite skilled...
What a beautiful rendition! From here to the moon!
I never get tired of this one
wow. that's many hours. And hours. Simply beautiful like a big bass that's released.
11 years ago? This is still very fresh, musically to me.
Brilliantly played! My ALLTIME favourite Billy Joel song and he claims it to be his worst!
Least favourite rather than worst.
Probably cuz it was ex wife
Very cool. Love the Rhodes. It remains a quality sound. Excellent.
Beutifully played and wonderful instrument.
Chet Baker once said " If it sounds right, it is right". This rendition sounds heavenly.
Always loved the sound of those pianos. Sounded great.
There's too much Loveliness in this video!
Bringing back my soul to 70s era. Where there's no gadget and many other complicated things. Life was so simple.
that´s true, i was a kid back then... ;-)
Beatifoul melody... I love the liryc of song
Beautifully played wow.
Excellent cover. The Rhodes sound always reminds me of Donald Fagan and also the first time I discovered neosoul. Love it.
Love that Rhodes sound. And Wurli, too.
Piękna piosenka pięknie zagrana dzięki za wspaniałe wrażenia oraz podzielenie sìę swoim talentem.
Dziękuję Ci bardzo
Mi hai fatto tornare al 1979 !!! :-)))
yes I am another who can not stop listening to this cover....
👍
Nicely done! Straight up ear candy!
This tune was the demo song of my old yamaha pss 270 keyboard. You brought me back to my childhood :) Great playing btw!
It's also a demo song on my super basic yamaha ez-200. I grew up with it and now that I found out the full name of this song, I found I like the one on my keyboard more than the official song on the album
Finest music, impressive "old" Rhodes all in hands of really sensible musician: excellent!
Smooth af!! Nothing like a Rhodes
Espetacular. Que performance!
HERMOSA VERSIÓN!!! TE FELICITO POR HABER LOGRADO UNA ARMONÍA TAN BELLA!
I love it the sound of the keyboard is amazing!! You did a great job!!
Bruno Mars is a great artist, but a long way from writing classics like this... Amazing performance and what an instrument. Thanks for sharing this here!
I used to have a casio keyboard when I was a kid and this was the pre programmed kind of example song it could play
I remember the same
Outstanding performance of this incredible song by billy joel. And your Rhodes sounds incredible!!! Hurras from argentina ! Clap clap clap
Damn! 😳 brings back great memories! The sound of Rhodes is just so sweet!💚 thanks for making that video! 👍

Very Good. Soothing. Thank You.
Wow very very nice 👌 sir 👍
