This is the sound of my rhodes (mark 1 stage 73) electric piano from 1979. There is also a bruno mars song with the same title, but this one´s from billy joel.
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.
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

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!
It is physically impossible to only listen to this once.
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. :^)
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
9 years later and it still hits just as good 😁
11year later too.
My condolences to the 42 people who disliked this video 😞
They died of terminal cringe a few days later 😞
@@thelabs7128 I died holding my breath waiting for them to post a video showing what this guy did wrong. Apparently, the Liberaces posting here have only one talent: making up reasons to project their failure onto others.
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.
ViralTuber phase shifter??

@@SPAZZOID100 No, only a big amount of reverb this time.
This comment deserves a Pulitzer
damn dude... put ypur boner away please
Back here to listen to this again after many years. Still a fantastic performance. Thank you.
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.
The algorithm got us here see you all next random video
A great performance of a beautiful song, on one of the most lovely sounding instruments ever built. Gotta love the Rhodes.
One of the prettiest pop songs ever written.
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
Thanks! I guess you´ll like this one, too: th-cam.com/video/3xFMH3XDM5w/w-d-xo.html
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!
You´re welcome! Nice to hear & i wish you good luck with your rhodes & youtube channel, Greetings Daniel.
Thanks, Daniel!@@pianistjustforfun
THAT piano sound 🥰. What a fabulous rendition of this classic Billy Joel track. Thank you for posting 👍
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
Chet Baker once said " If it sounds right, it is right". This rendition sounds heavenly.
the sound is always a combination of a lot of different things together e.g. hammertips, EQ, pickups, tines-adjustment, effects, the way you hit the keys etc.
if your´s is too dark sounding check the hammertips & tines first...
pianistjustforfun hi, I am trying to get towards that sound with my 1975 Mark I Rhodes but I am getting nowhere... how did you make that recording? Would you mind sharing what was along the signal chain? Did you mike an amp or use some preamp or just sent the sound through an audio interface inside the computer and then used effects etc inside computer?
The first time I heard the jazz instrumental version of this song was way back in 1978, 2 versions actually, 1st is by Boy Katindig and the 2nd one by Ahmad Jamal, both versions were superb and I listened to them countless of times, now I have a 3rd version to listen to , great.
You played that Rhodes like cuddling the sound of a water drop. I got goosebumped like literally
now that sound brings me back in time love it this has made my day.... i will be back lots of times
Smooth af!! Nothing like a Rhodes
Absolutely love this song, I hope one day I can play it on an actual Rhodes
It's really pity you have to write this kind of description, to explain what song it is and that this is not Bruno Mars single...
P.S. Well played : )
Anyway Bruno Mars is one of the best artist around,he is in the same league of REAL singer/musicians , he would love this song.
I would love to write or co-compose music for Bruno Mars and produce it so that people listening to it would hear him reaching his full potential as a musician, instead of just doing “something that sells”. It would be more of a direct reflection on material like this.
Chord changes .. real lyrics ... what music is supposed to be ...
@@1241fifeanddrum Beautifully stated!
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. 😊👍❤❤❤
Reminds me of better times even though I didn't exist when this instrument was at peak popularity.
Wonderful. That old Rhodes just sounds like a creamy hot chocolate on a cold evening. Sounds of the seventies, but that sound is good in any decade. Makes me wonder what Vivaldi might have made of it….
Awesome played, fantastic sound from that Rhodes!
Thanks for the reply on the old video. Fixed it already together with the sheets! th-cam.com/video/vMzzMw8HpVA/w-d-xo.html
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
Beautiful playing of a true classic man! 1978 lives again!
at least you have one ! and b.t.w.: i´ve had trouble with neighbours, too & have to pay for the rent :-)
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
You´re welcome! Nice to hear. Greetings Daniel
Lucky to have that, I learned how to play 1970s from a English hippie named Billy Bell, But i can’t stand Billy Joel sorry
Beautifully nostalgic for me....reminds me of my grown estranged children I’ve not seen for twenty years....So sad am I.
Out of all "Just The Way You Are" covers, this one still triumphs and resonates with me ten years later.
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
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!
you´re welcome :-)
+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
This song is why Rhodes Piano is my favorite instrument. It's so gentle and calming.
8 years later but here we are. Love the cover, really nice job.
Oh man so well played sounded so beautiful those old Rhodes really sound dreamy good 🙏👍
“Recommend for you” - I couldn’t agree more 😀
same!
Great ! It's watching performances like this that makes me want to take over piano lessons again....
Impecable interpretación e impresionante el sonido en el Fender Rhodes Piano, Excelente uno no se cansa de repetirlo y disfrutar...👍😎👻
Don't go changing to try and please me
You never let me down before, mmm
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I would not leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far, mmm
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are
Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair, mmm
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard, mmm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
Oh, but what will it take till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you?
I said I love you, that's forever
And this I promise from the heart, mmm
I couldn't love you any better
I love you just the way you are, right
I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard, mmm
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are
I like the way you walk the left hand!
Es un gusto escuchar un tema tan hermoso, sobre todo cuando se respetan los acordes originales de Billy Joel 100%
Even it works as an excelent karaoke, maybe the best, altough cuts some verses, it doesn't matter, it's very enjoyable your play
Well, it´s not supposed to be a backing track. I would not play the melody while somebody is singing. If you hear me doing so, somebody can´t sing :-P
i use reverb, chorus and equalizer from the recording software (logic).
Great sound. Nice EQ. Loved this.
Billy or it's possibly was Richard Tee, uncredited, but using a Phase Shifter for the effect, not chorus, not reverb.
The sound of this organ is iconic, as a session musician I've heard a lot of organs, old and new-Wurlies, Clav d6's, dx-7's moogs, up to the Korgs and Yamaha Motifs. Even with the technology of todays digital capabilities, theyre still just patches. I doubt if anyone will "trump" Harold Rhodes invention of this organ.
its alwaysa matterof voicing and most are notproperely voiced ;(
It's not an organ, it's an electric piano LOL.
BubblegumShallow Haha it's true! Back then, the vintage keys- Wurlis, Rhodes, even organs like Hammonds and others were all hand made. Even though they may have a distinct overreaching sound, no two sound exactly alike. They all have their own idiosyncrasies and characters! But alas there's almost never enough space!
Organ??
I HATE it when people refer to E.piano's as being "organs"! Organs work with valves, electric pianos with tines or as in the case of Wurlitzers reeds
yesterday's kids - we know the real billy joel classic(!!!!!)
today's kids - don't know who billy joel is (?????)
what are u using for the effects? sounds gorgeous!
i'm sure billy would love to sing along to your playing!
and i would love to have a piano like yours! i envy u!
i use reverb, chorus & EQ from logic 9...
sounds great! have u had it serviced recently?
it sounds pristine!
Thanks! No, i do little repairing & adjustments by myself... b.t.w. my rhodes 54 would need new hammertips...
thats a 54? wow, talk about rare!
No, the one you see here is a 73, but i have a 54 at home and which needs repairing...
I thought it was the Bruno Mars's one, but I found something better. This Rhodes has a great sound and makes me feel relaxed 😍
Oh man!! The sound of that Rhodes is so good I don't even miss the phaser!
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
Mi hai fatto tornare al 1979 !!! :-)))
Esse é o melhor. A execução mais agradável. Perfeita. Parabéns. Lindo mesmo.
Thanks you TH-cam algorithm
Damn! 😳 brings back great memories! The sound of Rhodes is just so sweet!💚 thanks for making that video! 👍
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!
excelente jajaja 2:15 that finger amazing
my classical teachers will be proud :-)
Beautiful song, beautiful tones from the rhodes. Well done!
thanks, from time to time i´ll try to get the best possible sound out of it :-)
keep your rhodes in good shape & greetings from germany !
very nice my friend....great sound

i really want a Fender Rhodes piano!!! ...
perfect sound!!!
"...tone of that keyboard is just sick. Mine is great sounding but this recording is ridiculous." Quote ViralTuber
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!
Thanks for your nice comment & greetings!
Fender Rhodes. best ever
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
espetacular esse timbre parabéns pela execução
Very cool. Love the Rhodes. It remains a quality sound. Excellent.
2024 anyone ❤❤
Such a beautiful sound. Hardly ever hear it any more. ☹️
Still my favorite video on TH-cam since 2019
Superb - really like it. Allthough, for my taste and intepretation, you play it a little too straight - I like some more "lifts" here and there ("before" the downbeat), but thats just me
A lot of American TV shows used the electric piano. I love this song well played ❤
Legit
Excellent cover. The Rhodes sound always reminds me of Donald Fagan and also the first time I discovered neosoul. Love it.
What a beautiful rendition! From here to the moon!
This is the "Just the way you are"' I'm pretty familiar with.
Extremely beautiful. Thank you so much!
you´re welcome!
Great performance.
I hate that I sold my Rhodes Piano !!! I really miss it !!! 😞😞😞
This cover has the same magic as the original composition.
You have made me emotional again.
Congratulations.
Amazing sound from this old Rhodes electric piano. The player is also quite skilled...
Great video man! Your playing is really good!
Great progressions I love this song ❤️❤️😭😭
If you'd never tried lifting a Rhodes... they weighed a Ton.
And i had an 88 in high school...i weighed just north of 120 lbs. It was close to that. 🤕
@@Scadaboy that was it - an 88! I'd forgotten that. Hello from deepest rural England.
yes I am another who can not stop listening to this cover....
👍
Still my favourite song played on my favourite keyboard! I'm wondering why your upper notes have that distinct "hoarse" bellish sound whereas my 88 suitcase has more bark but less of the treble even with the treble pushed all the way up and the bass all the way down. Something2do with the positioning of th upper tines? Maybe closer to the pick-ups? Or did you enhance the "tops" on Logic?
+Karl Haese The way the attack angle is set up, inside of the piano.
i could listen to this for hours (: ...and i did!
I can only think the 'Thumbs down' comes from some very bitter and twisted people. Grow up.! Or get loan of instrument and do better FFS.
Awesome job. The anal comments below are funny. Not the kind of thing a creative person would say. Thanks so much for posting this excellent cover. The Rhodes is such a fabulous instrument and you coax out its potential.
beautiful! thanks! bravo!
also, wonder how Kieran Rhodes from AGT would sound on that Rhodes, haha?
well, from time to time i do some adjustment or repairing... i´ll try to keep it (& myself) in good shape :-)
Nice. This sounds in great shape and in tune!!!
i don´t know the yamaha demo songs, and i didn´t work for yamaha in the past. perhaps there´s a japanese clone of mine, who´s playing is quite similar :-)
Oh I would love to get my hands on one of these. I wouldn't do it justice like you do, though.
So smooth love the vibe... talented indeed . Fender Rhodes ...nothing like it.
I love it the sound of the keyboard is amazing!! You did a great job!!
Nice .... But you gotta put the MXR Phase 90 on it ..... That's the Sound !?
