Interpretation of someone else's music is the true litmus test of a musicians knowledge and skillset as a player. This guy can play. And at the end of the day that's what the game really is. Being able to 'play' with your instrument. Some get it. Most don't. But when you see and or hear it there's no mistaking it. Real mastery and ease of performing on display here.
Everytime I play a (good) Rhodes VST in my DAW, I think: "Yeah this is funky! I love the rawness". And then I hear the real deal and get reminded that the hardware is always superior. This sounds so incredible. Love it.
@@mr.smileytm keyscape is the best digital option imo. But still, the dynamic, the slight detuned imperfections, the clarity. It still doesn't come close to the real one. There's a reason why they are expensive, hehe.
I've watched this many times and it just blows me away how well he stays behind it and in the pocket. No over playing and nice funky syncopation with the left hand. The improv was subtle and again not overindulgent. Perfect. Just perfect.
just found this in my recommended. scrolled down to look at the comments and saw that most of the top comments had been posted in the past few hours. i would just like to take a moment to appreciate the fact that youtube simultaneously recommended this video today-
Sly that's exactly the thing though, playing daily will get you here. I've been playing bass guitar for 6 years but haven't played anywhere near daily. And because of that, there are two year players that can play circles around me because they put in daily time into their craft.
Kraz3e987 I obviously know that, it's just obvious, work hard and get rewarded for it, do something without giving it your all and you'll get half of what you could've gotten
Ahhhh....the Rhodes piano....the Rickenbacker 12 string of the 1970's....sweet, chimey, harp/bell like qualities; great solo instrument, outstanding accompanying instrument. Truly one of the greatest electro-mechanical instruments of all time. Thank you for your outstanding performance.
This was in my sidebar. I thought, 'Why not? I'll toss it on in the background while I look at other things.' Was not expecting this level of sheer _mmmmmmmmmmm nice._
I have heard this song in countless variations. This is by far the best. I have played it hundreds of times, and never once in the background. I always sit and watch in awe as it brings about an array of emotions that I know in my heart to be what true love feels like. Thank you sir
Why is everyone here from the past 5 hours?? Whatever, doesn't matter, this song is great. Really does a great job distracting me from the fact that the world is ending.
This improv is what I like to see! It’s not like most Jazz improvs I’ve heard which are all fast and go over the place. This one is kinda funky and makes me feel at ease and relaxed, thank you for posting this banger of a tune to TH-cam. :)
Bless TH-cam recommendations for giving us some good ol’ F minor non-emulated Fender Rhodes
insaneintherainmusic Ayyy
this is like, the clearest look at the algorithm ever, all the comments are from a two hour period
It's back in my recommendations a year later ✨
Amen
I mean, just take this track around the circle, it’s great anywhere.
Jazz keyboardists are the highest form of human being
Other musicians sometimes smoke a lot of weed too! *ducks*
Why?
@@MCFractal made me laugh more than I'm willing to admit
You got it right buddy
Don't forget jazz guitarists...
It appears TH-cam recommendations have brought us all together again - let us sit back, relax, and enjoy the keys.
You are right dude!
😎
@@diflimp7662 so people with similar tastes in music,(how rare is that), meet like ships in the night. thank you utube dj
DJ TH-cam strikes again
This. Is a community
I don't mind being nearly 10 years late to the party.
0:37 The one note that opens the left ear, wonderful!
Great kkkkkk
If I played like this... I would never stop :)
XD
hahaahh thats exackly what i was thinking , ill still be sitting at the piano jamming away till i have to eat or go to the toilet
to play like this you never have to stop.. no pain no gain mdfk
If you’d never stop, you’d play like this...
as a fender rhodes player my self i can sit at that thing for hours and enjoy every minute of it. It's just like playing with a big toy.

Gerard Guitarist on display, indeed.
I went to school for jazz and this one video singlehandedly influenced my playing more than any other thing that's ever blessed my ears.
😎
After 13 years, the beauty of this performance remains the same

Here I was not 1 month ago thinking I could accurately synthesize this sound
Lol @ me
The ones in Keyscape are pretty damn good though... and you don't need to shell out several grand xD

I've come back to this video a bunch of times over the past several years. Love the sound of that Rhodes!
welcome
Has this been recommended to all of us today? Amazing gathering here at the comments section
YEP
Kind of ironic were having a gathering given the name of the song lmao
RNG BAHAHAH
yooooo how's it going
F1_Lockwxd pretty good bro wbu

Agreed! A mature, expressive, proficient technician.
That's because he's a pianist not a guitar player. 🧐
A legend was lost, but the soul of his music lives on ♥️ RIP Bill withers
Watch 'Still Bill" BBC Documentary - you won't be disappointed
Rhodes piano by the window with a little sunshine, and Just the Two of Us by Grover Washington, PERFECT.
SOLID. Absolutely gold man.
It's a shame they don't build BBQ's like this anymore - great way to spice up a party.
Underrated comment - 10/10 Comment Rating Society
I was just starting 7th grade when this video was posted. I'm happy this showed up in my recommended having just graduated from university! LOVE IT!!
Holy shit congrats xD
WHOA
I always come back here even after many years... Thank you Marcin
I come back to this video 2-3x a year and just sit back and enjoy. Such a nice experience.
Same, It gets recommended once a year, and every time, I drop whatever I'm doing and listen to the whole thing.
Gave me shivers when the melody started. Wonderful playing.
I don't play piano but whenever I watch a well-played Rhodes, it makes me wanna learn.
Very rarely do I sit and watch an entire piano cover completely entraced the whole way through. This is fantastic.
just found this in my recommended. scrolled down to look at the comments and saw that most of the top comments had been posted in the past few hours. i would just like to take a moment to appreciate the fact that youtube simultaneously recommended this video today-
was posted in 2011 but just now blowing up. Good things take time and this- this is excellent.
;)
Most talented players make me wanna cry and never play again. Something about this guy makes me want to practice for 10 hours a day.
You may bet he did practice 10 hours a day to be able to play like that.
Alan Huff he could also be 30-40 years and only playing 2 hours some days

I'd guess he's in his 40s
what a beautiful sounding xylophone.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!😂🤣
its not a xylophone
@@upload7799 ikr, obliviously a drum set 🙄
its the Rhodes Piano
@@n4ndawakoto are you tripping? thats clearly a roland TR808 with the cowbell voice selected
Just the 700,000 of us brought here by TH-cam recommendations...
Edit: So we meet again, old friend
11 year old video and the YT algorithm suddenly summons us here.
I'm here due to same reason too :D
Indeed
dang same😂 so happy about it
I've been here for years mate
never stopped coming back to this
i think the sound quality fits the mood: 2011, vintage keyboard, just the two of us, literally perfect
The most beautiful arrangement in the world. A stand-alone new art work. I take several doses each month.
Shoutout to the TH-cam algorithm for bringing us together to hear this beautiful music😌
This is the very definition of the word ‘mellow’. Well done!
Anyone else just keep coming back to this?
No,i just got here,but i will be.
everyday
Just at the first 4 bars I KNEW I was in for a nice treat. Great playing!
I could listen to you play all day long...subscribed.
I remember watching this a while back, and youtube still recommended it for me.
Jesus what a gorgeous keyboard
First thing i immediately thought of!
@@baileybeukers3987 its a fender rhodes mk 1, they sound amaizing
It's a wonderful Rhodes! Amazing !: And a great jazz pianist!😍😍👏👏
TH-cam recommendations bringing tears to my eyes ones again. The first notes he plays; man I love the warmth of the Rhodes!
Sounds like crystal raindrops.
Here because of the algorithm of march 2021
Right. I give up. It's been in my recommended for like 12 days at least. I give up
And hey it slaps so it's ok lol
Amen
Me too
Was about to say same until I realised it's now May
I think i've listened to this like 70 times. I can't fucking get enough.
The Rhodes' tone is magical
Yes, the tone is magical, but carrying one to the gig isn't!
Ahhhh....the Rhodes piano....the Rickenbacker 12 string of the 1970's....sweet, chimey, harp/bell like qualities; great solo instrument, outstanding accompanying instrument. Truly one of the greatest electro-mechanical instruments of all time. Thank you for your outstanding performance.
Very good, my right ear would recommend
By hitting that high f at 0:38, the audio signal finally got stereo!
kind of glad the first 30 secs didnt have stereo though, great for a sample layer with some depth
Oh sure, especially with such high quality audio...
mine worked the whole time. your speakers are just weak
The algorithm giveth and the algorithm taketh.
Joe Mode it’s amazing
The tone on that thing is beautiful
It took 10 years to find this?
what the fuck, this is good.
Yup
I could just listen to this forever. That tone.
Great touch, getting that 73 to bark at the right moments. Respect.
Looks like you just hit the recommendations jackpot. Congrats, you deserve it!
Just breath taking, I hope to some day have a musical understanding that even approaches a fraction of this person's..
I initially intended on just listening to a snippet ( short attention span ), but before I knew it, it was over. Mesmerizing.
This was in my sidebar. I thought, 'Why not? I'll toss it on in the background while I look at other things.'
Was not expecting this level of sheer _mmmmmmmmmmm nice._
Wish I could play and improvise like that. Absolutely AWESUM!!!
this is beautiful, my left ear was just a lil jealous
hahaha
7 years since this upload an it still holds up so well
at times like these you love the youtube algorithm
damn right
Oh my! That rhode sound brings tears to my eyes! The best version I've heard!!!
This is currently my favourite improvisation on TH-cam. Thanks for this.
There's nothing I like more than a Fender Rhodes piano.
I have heard this song in countless variations. This is by far the best. I have played it hundreds of times, and never once in the background. I always sit and watch in awe as it brings about an array of emotions that I know in my heart to be what true love feels like. Thank you sir
Why is everyone here from the past 5 hours?? Whatever, doesn't matter, this song is great. Really does a great job distracting me from the fact that the world is ending.
Probably because this vid rules and got bumped up by TH-cam recommendations so now more people are seeing it when they open their app.
Lol 😂 Great distraction indeed.
@@MajorMkor why can't I like your comment? Lmao what you said is great, but TH-cam won't let me for some reason
Hmm if you thought the world was ending 8 months ago around August 2019...
Looks like we're here for the real one April 2020.
I've commented on this before but I still think this is perfect every time I listen to it.
Amazing. Uploaded 7years ago, and pops up in recommended videos.
You have made me cry with just the pureness of the sound and soul. You touched my memories and heart.
I always come back to this video just because the sound is so beautiful.
Man I hope this instrument is still sat right there. It's where it belongs
the improvisation we didn't know we needed
This improvisation was gorgeous from top to bottom. Thank you
Excellent tempo and jazz improvisation capabilities. Can't stop listening. you are gifted.
I knew something good was going to be played, just by looking at the instrument - not disappointed.
Listening to this makes me glad to be alive
That instrument has the greatest tone, and you have the perfect touch for it. Delightful!
Still delightful in November of 2021. Thanks for posting.
BLESS THE ALGORITHM
nice
want algorithm to share this with more so more people can enjoy this amazing experience

Brilliant! Even 8 years on. Well done
i am simple man. i see fender rhodes, i click like
You cannot beat the sound of a 70s Rhodes. Lovely arrangement too
Thanks so much for that. Got sent here by a YT suggested video, and i was glad it did. Love the sound of the Rhodes.
Straight up Fender Rhodes mastery. I don’t even like this song but you brought life to it.
amazing control of dynamics!! loved the phrasing of the bass lines to sound like an electric bass! and all that in the groove! great job
Sounds like xylophone sometimes... Só beautiful!
The power of a rhodes piano
short blips on left hand excite me the most
You can see the left hand doing runs just like the right hand. That's admirable.
really enjoyed this, thanks for the video (8 years late but hey)
Anything with a Rhodes has got my attention. Thank you, sir, for an excellent video.
Thank you for listening
Why does youtube randomly reccomend these great videos years after they were released?
your flow is gold my g
Glad the alg is giving this video some love, I've been coming back to it for years! Such a great performance, always loved it.
Can't describe how much I love the sound of a Fender Rhoades!
i just about fk came myself over how nice that sounded
well put
🤨
Why’s he playing beautiful music on his barbecue?
Fish Ed sir that is a Rhodes
@@andrewbraun3303rhodes bbq..
It does look like a grill lol
Lol
idiot
This is legitimately my favorite version of this song
Around 2:22, love the dreamy and gentle tone the song takes on. Could listen to it til I die.
And afterwards, too. I've been told that this is heaven's waiting room music.
What a blessing you are to my ears.
