Here after the news of his passing. What a fantastic musician we have lost
Same here. His music will live forever.
💯
WHAT?!?!
What a fantastic man we have lost. It does not come into my mind a fantastic musician that is also a fantastic man like him.
That’s better to says - how lucky we are too had met him and saw and heard his music message and messages in music -
We ain’t lost him.
He’s gone for a brand new place for an amazing new planet, man🚀
Dear Chick Corea,
I was a young boy at the age of 15 when I tirst heard this piece on" light as a feather".
This music touched me immediately and so I started to buy many of your records.
My love to Jazz has allready started and the adventure is still going on! At the age of 48 I started playing piano(much to late!!) and now I`m 54 and started playing "Spain" in an easy version.
But I am very abmitious to play it (nearly!) as you do! My teacher says it would be possible, if I work hard. And I will do so!!
Thank you for your music, it has changed my life in a beautiful way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kind regards
Theo
Damn, 6 years and at the best you could play an easy version? Guess this song must be some kind of difficulty that i cant even coincive....i wish you will play this piece! Best luck my friend!
@@mlggodzilla1567 it's a jazz standard, it's not too difficult if you have the level, it also depends on how disciplined are you when practicing
Great stuff dude!! Keep going!!!
@@mlggodzilla1567 I've been playing for about a year and I'm about halfway in after maybe 14 hours of practise in total. I don't play it like chick though, needless to say
@@Mrissecool yeah me too, i had some problems with the rhythm but now i can do the main part without problems, it was all about practice, maybe i should make a video.
just yesterday I was watching this video without knowing that one of the most important musicians in history had died. I have never experienced such an important death in my life as a musician, and now that he is not among us, the world is falling on me. This world will no longer be the same without him
agreed

A greater wizard than I will ever be.
Saruman The White I was about to encourage you until I saw your name lol
Saruman, pero tu eres multicolor.
Yes indeed, but there's not that much to it, Saruman.
Yes, greater he is.
Gandalf The Grey stop it
The days we live in.. you can not only see and hear in great detail what this great master is playing, But he also shares a lot of beautiful insights of his playing. There is no excuse to not evolve incredibly fast as a musician with all this benefits..we only need perseverance and, taking things from easy to this and beyond. I am closely to intermediate keyboard player but this still looks kind of hard to get my head around it. so i will save this 'lesson' and get back to it after i get better a understanding of the language and the voicings.
I've posted many comments expressing my grief at the loss of this musical genius leprechaun. I'm tired of the grief. I just want to bask in the joy that he shared when he played with his band. Look at the many youtube videos of him playing live. There's always a moment when he looks at the guys, and smiles. That is the joy of Chick. Thank you for creating the music magic, the complex bebop rhythm's of our life. RIP Maestro.
Best part is the light shines perfectly on the keys as they're being played. Easy to take notes. Thank you.
That unique instantly recognizable sound. How Chick gets that out of the piano I don't know, those harmonies have always fascinated me.
The man is nothing short of a genius in the true sense of the word.
These reharmonizations are simply genial! Thank you, Mr. Corea, for unselfishly sharing this treasure with us.
The word "genial" means "friendly." However, I've never heard of friendly reharmonizations. Perhaps you meant "genius."
or he may have just used the german or french term for genius, which is genial/génial
Exactly what I meant. Thank you. In my Bosnian language, ''genijalno'' means ''genius''.
Vic Toza well genial en español means awesome or great so maybe that. Either way hes right those harmonies are dope as hell
"Friendly" is a synonym for "genial" not a translation or meaning thereof. "Genial" translates as "characterized by genius", among other possible translations, hence a non-native English speaker Samir got it just right.
Great way to leave behind a memory so people will play it correctly in the future. I wish more artists would do this.
Ain't it wunderbar?
Not sure about "correctly" - he is more doing a theme and variations, no two versions the same. New real book has the original version, this is the master reinterpreting his own masterpiece.
At least it is the actual AUTHOR showing you. He is now a MASTER. Follow what he ells you.
How much closer to the truth can you get ? No trolling needed whatsoever ... No corrections by visitors here ... no addendums. No opinions. He knows what he wants to show
3:28 pfft!...Chick: c'mon man....you're kiddin?: How ridiculously beautiful is that ending folks?
And it's pretty simple too! Genius
What a beautiful gift for us! Your virtuosity is overwhelming and hypnotic! Something I must share: I've been a disciple of your music through the decades. When my son was 7 years old, I was playing an Elektric Band CD in the car and when he heard Charged Particles, he became obsessed with it and your music! It was an amazing, life-changing moment! On 8/12/17, we went to Detroit (he from Orlando and I from Columbus, OH) to see you in concert. It was his present to me for my 69th birthday. When you opened the show with Charged Particles, it was indeed a very special, cosmic moment for us! Thank you for the continuum of astounding compositions and performances you continue to bestow on humanity! You are truly an anointed maestro and a beautiful human! God Bless always!
Today is a sad day in our music world.
The legend has transcended to another realm where he returns to forever...
but the legend’s legacy will never end.
Dear Chick, thank you for the music and music 💔 RIP.
I was very high one night during my college days. I'd smoked some strong weed that made me very high, but gave me an exaggerated sense of awareness. I was alone all night, listening to a number of Chick's piano masterpieces, including his seminal album "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs". The music sounded magnitudes beyond angular and supremely atonal. Many notes were out of place and out of tune, yet the music was blowing my mind.
That night, I fully grasped Chick's genius and how deeply Thelonious Monk had influenced him. Said influence can be appreciated in spades in his second and third improvisations of this video. My favorite musician, and I shall play with you in paradise!
are you still stoned?
More than 50 years of Chick. His music will live forever. RIP Chick Corea.
Man oh man! Talk about talent? I've been playing for 4 decades. His effortless mastery and style is without peer. The fact that he's doing an overhead tutorial is incredible. Thanks a bunch chick!
The finest composition from the finest pianist!
Learning this with my teacher rn
It's such a beautiful piece, one of the best I've ever heard for sure
I've always marveled at the level of peculiar dexterity in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th fingers of Chick's right hand. Never seen anything quite like it. Respect and RIP.
What we're looking at is a master pianist, especially during the second phase of his video, showing us mere mortals (slowed down a lot) how this song was chord & melodically constructed. There are lots of budding pianists who may have hear the tune, but need a 'visual' blow-by-blow as to how to follow. Chick is a master of innovative "Jazz". Therefore, those who are interested in this (relatively) complex piece, should point their eyes forwards.
Chick has Returned to Forever. Thank you for the love, some call it music.
Continue in power!
🎶💖🎹💖🎶
I love how the original spain is kind of dramatic and deep and Chick's version makes people clap together whenever they hear the solo. Amazing work! Hope I can play it eventually!
this Legend remains my best, he used all the possible interchnage, both harmonically and scale wise OMG
I love how every time he alters certain chords one way or another. So much heavy genius in there.
god almighty. I've been listening to this song since I was a kid and it never ceases to amaze me. Chick you make it look so easy!
I could watch this for the rest of my life and I don’t think I’d be bored of it even then.
The song that got me in love with piano at age 13, and started me playing....you are will always be maestro #1 Chick!
I can't believe you're gone, Mr Corea. I can't believe you won't play again for us. Thank you for sharing your knowledge here while you could. I'll never forget your concert at La Défense, Paris, in the early summer of 2012.
A masterclass in voice leading!!! Thanks Professor Corea!
Rest In Peace to a musical genius who completely changed the way I look at music, both as a listener and piano player myself. I’ve always had a deep appreciation and admiration for Chick Corea. His music has accompanied many of the best days I’ve had, as well as some of the worst nights. I will never forget hearing this Spain for the first time. Something about the environment and color that his chord and voice selection made just hit me right in the face. His talents were otherworldly and I will forever appreciate the chance to hear this man’s music. Thank you Chick, may you Rest In Peace.
I love this it's a eye opener for me. Long Live The Legend Sir Chick Corea
❤
What a gift to see him play like this...
:: I'm smiling and crying at the same time. Totally crushed and amazed. So long Maestro!! ::
I’m watching and crying. It’s like I’ve lost a close friend of 40 plus years. This musical loss has stung me like no other.
Didn't think it was possible but slowed down it becomes even more intricate and brilliant, or at least my mortal ear can appreciate it more.
One chord melts into the other just so beautiful. A real classic! Thanks Chick for showing every detail, how to harmonize and work out the rhythmic aspect!!
Rest in Peace Chick ! thank you for the music
Yes!!!
En paz descanse, Maestro ♥
Rest in peace, Master ♥
I’ll never forget meeting Chick at Yoshi’s in Oakland..His demeanor and warmth forever solidified why I count him Living Legend #1 of the ivory..
Never gets tired listening to this awesome piece of music
He has impacted every single Musician on the planet
Thank you. I have a lead sheet for Spain sitting beside me on my bench and a Slow Downer app. I’ve been working on those breaks and chords for months. This video is a great gift. All the best to you.
Thank you for your generosity! Great camera angle! Learned so much by looking at your hands. Once again, thank you Maestro!
After finding out of his passing, this is the first song that came to mind and that last phrase @8:34 is what I heard. Thank you for all the compositions which opened the door to higher places.
this song never gets old, youre the best!
Thanks, Chick. I first heard "Romantic Warrior" in my friend's dorm room, Fall 1976. Your music was/is a beacon and an inspiration...
Rest in peace great master !! ❤️❤️🙏
deeply feeling this right now -
One of thee most prestigious keyboardist of our time! RIP! May the heavens embrace your talent!
Thank you Mr. Corea for sharing this. It is truly a wonderful gift.
If any artist who made such a piece like this is reading this comment, model Mr Corea's kindness, this content is a major contribution in the quality of learning of everyone
It's such a double-edged thing. It is so, so beautiful, but it makes you instantly give up trying. I find the acoustic piano version of Spain my favorite (esp. Akoustic Band).
I'm with you on that! Akoustic album one of the best jazz albums of all time
Thank you amazing inspirational Maestro for circulating and sharing your deep expertise, but generally the beautifulness of music and art.
With a heavy and broken heart I bid another one of my musical masterminds a sad goodbye. Irreplaceable!
This is fantastic. I am struggling with my ii, V, I progression... and here it comes an overflow of harmonies and genius!!! :)
Fortuna di averlo ascoltato dal vivo,grandissimo,espressione latina💙💙💙💙💙
Hey Chick...I'm relatively new to your music. Saw you once in TN with Bela a few years ago. This video is an incredible gift to share with us, and I just wanted to express my gratitude.
Please, make more of these tutorials with transcriptions. I love the way you play! Thank you!
He never run out of genius ideas. Even if he played for 12 hours straight. That's Chick Corea 🎉❤❤❤
Chick, thank you for this fantastic gift... kiss from Italy
I love watching on the overhead video. It really helps a lot! And it's neat to see how effortlessly Chick makes it look.
You are the best muscian of this age.
Wonderful to see his fingers instead of his face when he is playing his music. I would really like to hear him explain his thinking behind his playing. His harmonic and melodic concepts combined with classical technique makes him an absolut master musician and pianist. What is so refreshing about his playing is that he is not a lick player like so many. He can play this song a thousand times, and every time his solo would be completely different; different motives, lines and shapes, different rhythms. And still, it will always sound like Chick. still, there are explainable concepts behind his playing. If he would only share them with us. All we can do is analyze his music and guess. Which is a good start of course.
Having watched people like this for decades and studied on my own as much as having a full time job allows…..I have concluded that they are just much more talented and intelligent than me 😊. These guys could do amazing stuff at 10 years old. Sure they learn harmony and practice a lot but they’ve just got some innate ability that allows them to master the keyboard (or whatever instrument) in a particular way.
@@roddykennedy9476 Agreed, except that I wouldn't necessarily assume that a talented person is also an intelligent person. And as talented as Chick obviously was, he was also a very hard worker, and was the sun of a jazz musician who had connections to some of the best musicians at the time. So, just being talented may not lead to brilliancy as it did with Chick. I would have given my last shirt for the opportunity to take a lesson with him!
Thank you very much Mr. Chick Corea, youtube is a miracle!! It was worth waiting for this gift.
the run at 2:12 made me fall off my chair
What a legend. Rest in peace.
I can rest easy now. After Mr. Corea showed how it's done so clearly.. thx so very2 much for your time . The intro is the hardest of the song. Now I can play.. awesome thanks again..MAESTRO.. I SAW YOUR CONCERT IN MELBOURNE LONG AGO YOUR WIFE PERFORMED AS WELL.
RIP Maestro 😥😥🙏🏽🙏🏽
Ok who transcribed this, I know one of you did. Absolutely amazing!
Wow! such a treat to see and hear this from this perspective. Incredible.
Dear Mr. Corea,
Thank you so much for sharing your handwork. I have listened to you intensely in the past. My first exposure was when I was about 15 or 16.
My friend had the album, Where have I known you before ? RETURN TO FOREVER. I love that piano piece(Where Have I Known You Before) and the song Day Waves i think its called.
markbra
RIP Chick. A legend...
1:38 Bm7/Maj7
Amazing Chick ! greetings from México !
So incredibly inspirational
Thank you Chick and the team. Massively helpful.
Amazing magic fingers! Truly an extravagant composer/musician!
Thank you so much! Absolutely inspiring for decades!
I love this song since ever ...it's always a great opportunity to see the "composer" and "Maestro "play it ♥Thank you indeed !!!
Love this song. Miss chick....
Thank you for the lesson, I hope I can be like you to be an extraordinary pianist. You are my favorite and my idol.
Thanks a lot Chick. You're a magical pianist !!
Ah...so glad to have found this You Tube Channel. Been huge fan of Mr. Corea since the 1970's. Ahhhh...a YT Channel I can just click now when I need to clean my brain of clutter. And get my serenity back. Peace!!
I asked Frank Cunimondo who he thought was good. His immediate response was: "Chick Corea. He's better than me."
I was like: "huh?" Still am, because I am learning reharmonization from Frank's work, both live and in recording.
Thought I'd pass that along.
Frank taught me, too. The things I learned from him enable me to understand what Chick is/was doing.
Chick Corea was one of the greatest music genius of all time. 🎉❤❤❤
Mr. Chick on beast mode!
Who the hell dares to dislike this gem?
Breathtaking composition and play from the master himself
This answers all of the questions I didn't know I had about piano.
Fantastic! Best regards from Portugal.
Those beautiful chords combinations ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻🙏
I Miss this dude
Mr. Corea is on piano like god. Omnipotent and omniscient.
You are the one and the only in this World Chick..!!
Amazing to find this . I must have listened to chic playing this with Bobby about 300 times growing up .
I'm so jealous of chics big fingers , very easy 10ths..
Return to forever!! Thank you Master!
Since many years i love and play Your wonderful tune, a source of inspiration for me. thank you Mr Corea ! :-)
Merci beaucoup Chick pour ce fabuleux partage !
Chick, that looks so easy... Infinite and exquisite imagination. Thanks a lot!
Simply huge to have Mr. Chick Corea do this tutorial. Thank you so much for what feels like a personal invitation to spend time in the same room with GREATNESS. Would you consider doing a tutorial for "Where Have I Known You Before"? Still love that solo song by you from early RTF. A novice like me would love to learn it from the master via a tutorial. RTF -YES !!
