I think that "Absolute Beginners" is one of the best songs ever composed. David Bowie's performance of it is just fabulous. And your version of it is superb. Thank you for this performance and keep up the good work.
Thank you, I discovered this song around Jan 2004, I remember it quite clearly. I love it. I know there are a lot of people who don't like his 80s work as much as earlier work, but .. I love the stuff he created from the 80s!
It's a masterpiece. Your right that it's not as well known as the other, more obvious, masterpieces. That somehow makes it all the more special though.
I like all your songs that you cover. I've been been following you for a long time. It amazes me how you play like that. I'm a musician. And although you live in Australia and I live in the USA, it would be so cool to collaborate with you. You are a gifted player. Just amazing. Thank-you for sharing your talent with us all.
2010gswgraduate100 thanks I appreciate your loyalty to follow me even though sometimes it's months before I get a chance to share something ! I'll be in the USA in less than two months time I enjoy visiting your country! Thanks for watching and for your feedback :)
I'm a little late to the party, but you did a fantastic job with this. Absolute Beginners is my favourite Bowie song. It's beautifully written. I play piano by ear, and if you don't mind, I'd really love to use your version and learn it myself.
Thanks, Jackson. Actually, I learnt it a couple of days after i posted that comment. It’s such a lovely song to play and I agree, those chord sequences are fantastic and pure Bowie!
Excellent stuff, really. Can you please explain, how did you programme strings, to cover only high tones and adding nice padding. I own a different synth so the explaining the concept only would do. Thanks!
BelvinSLO for the TH-cam videos I play the piano part first and film this .. after the video is recorded I then can lay other tracks to the audio project in Logic Pro x. So basically the audio is recorded as a seperate track and I then sync the footage with the audio . Sometimes I don’t plan on adding additional instruments or sounds but after recording it may sound too bland. That’s why some videos that have major parts i record two videos in one to show the parts .. but most .. are just subtle sounds . Hope that helps
Hi Jackson Taylor, which piano sound did you select here on the Nord Stage? I have an Electro 5D73, want to set the same piano sound in as this one. Thanks in advance. Very well played, this is simply magic.
I am Pretty sure the Nord “piano” sound is the lady d grand which you can download from Nord website .. and it’s layered with a Logic Pro press “chorused piano” I think it’s called. Kinda like a Rhodes / EP sound without the phaser .. I hope that helps

Yes indeed, if you need any help let me know. Its a fantastic piece of music, the chords used are just amazingly put together
Thanks, Jackson. Actually, I learnt it a couple of days after i posted that comment. It’s such a lovely song to play and I agree, those chord sequences are fantastic and pure Bowie!
is there a way to get access to the music sheet? I would gladly pay for it, it's amazing
I got a question, did you ever try to play "journey-seperate ways"?
Excellent stuff, really. Can you please explain, how did you programme strings, to cover only high tones and adding nice padding. I own a different synth so the explaining the concept only would do. Thanks!

Jackson Taylor Thank you it absolutely does.
Absolutely beautiful. Brilliant adaptation man. Are you playing in e major? Also for the run what chords do you play? Thank you

So I mean only pianosound. You layered a synth sound as well I hear.
I am

@@yew2533 thank you! I have that piano sound on the 5D as well. Gone try out with some layers as you mentioned.
🙂
the end and the beginning are great, but the intermediate to my taste you should not hurry, enjoy it but a little slower.
but I love it!!
