I've said it once and I'll say it again, I can listen to Claudio play a Rhodes all day.

[@JonayPS]

I LOVE the sound of a Rhodes, it's so iconic.

[@ElBeeEss]

Ohhhh, YAAASSS! Bring on the Quincy! I loooooved him so much. I've got his autobiography on my shelf. His life was amazing, such a gripping read I didn't move off my sofa for about 3 days while I read it!

[@turpialito]

A single thumbs-up button is not enough for this video. Brilliant, Mr. Passavanti. Brilliant video.

[@pendaco]

The sound of the Rhodes heals the soul!

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Honorable mention goes to not to my first Chicago song but the first one I associated with the band name, “Feeling Stronger Every Day”. The first time I remember hearing it was around 1991. As I began learning about different instruments often used in rock music, I thought the electric piano played on this song was a Wurlitzer. I only figured out when I was 20 in 2000 that it was a suitcase Rhodes.

[@CarlDraper]

oh i got the goosebumps when you nailed Riders on the The Storm, my favourite Rhodes track ever!

[@jaycabkeys]

The chord progressions in One Hundred Ways are so beautiful. Same with Just Once. Kudos to Quincy Jones, James Ingram and all the composers. Some of the best music ever.

[@ruscular]

Rhodes is the holy grail for me, it was the riders on the storm that got me in my youth. Breakin it down for me, made me feel that much closer to the doors. I played the sax, and I use the Aerophone wind controller to play the raindrop. I work on it for several month, until one day my fingers took over and I wasn't thinking it anymore. It was a great day of victory.

[@bkhawaii]

I agree w/ this list, but c'mon no Angela (TAXI Theme) probably one of the most well know Rhodes themes. (; Maybe in part 2 ((:

[@nicholasmcfarlane9289]

Ain't no doubt - the Rhodes always grabs the ear. Fantastic sound and a cool piece of musical furniture.

[@EscutCavaller007]

The great Blue Weaver in How Deep is your Love!

[@Bashanvibe]

Have fun watching!!! Love your attention to details!!!it’s the little things that make the record!!!

[@robsargent8611]

Thanks Claudio you made my day with the electric piano ❤👍👍😊

[@bertvennemann189]

I missed "10cc - I'm Not In Love" and "Manfred Mann - Blinded by the Light" ! Maybe in a next "Best of Rhodes Piano" ! 😉 😇 You are an asset to this planet ! 🙏 🖖LIVE LONG AND PROSPER 🖖

[@alessandrobovolato]

I was also expecting "Sheep" by Pink Floyd... 😉

[@EixtremeDrummer]

Good sounds, great plug-in, thank you!

[@fran98832]

can't wait for the QJ content man, cool video, i learned a lot from it, keep it up !!

[@DarksideoftheSteve]

"Bloody Well Right" by Supertramp...one of the best Rhodes intros ever IMHO...😊

[@jeremymoyse]

Like a lot of others, I suspect, first thing I did was spin round to my keyboard and work out the "Billy Joel mistake" to check I wasn't making it! Love this episode but after how much I loved your "Big Band Bossa" breakdown I am, 'very sadly' looking forward to your Quincy tribute - absolute genius and a big loss. .

[@Borealia]

What gorgeous sounds! I would agree that on Living for the City it was probably layered. Watching a live version on KZbin the lowest bass note is played on a bass guitar.

[@Stu-Vino]

Sounds beautiful. What an instrument!

[@LuddyVonBeat]

Well done Marco! Good choice. When I think of Rhodes piano I think of The Doors, "Riders on the storm" (my fave) and Supertramp!

[@stevehofer3482]

I love all these songs. You really nail the sounds. Thanks for this video.

[@TheDarkHorse949]

I wish you had more time to teach . You would be a great teacher. You have many gifts.

[@GabeChurray]

Holy cow man. That Quincy tune sounds amazing!

[@drpsyence1560]

Loved the selection, however I agree with the other Supertramp fans “ Bloody Well Right “ and would also include Led Zeppelin Misty Mountain Hop. Can’t wait for the Quincy Jones special. So sorry to hear that your friend has passed, I know how special the invite to the Hollywood Bowl Birthday Party meant to you ❤

[@Miketotyetemp]

Your talent is wild. Great work as always

[@royevans4581]

Who doesn't love a bit of Rhodes. Thanks Doc.

[@MyVinylRips]

LIVING for the city. Love the video!!

[@brink_music98]

My favourite electric piano of all times

[@MrPsanterIsBack]

Excellent choice of songs.

[@wdwnutjm]

What a GREAT list!!!!!! Thank you - I grew up with these (& my Dad's Fender Rhodes).

[@chantduplantier9871]

Love it! Thanks!

[@Braussie1]

Luv it 👏 came here because I Heard it Through the Grapevine 😅😅😅 maybe the next playlist. Subed.

[@robbierobinson6839]

Great tutorial!

[@catoblepag]

At the beginning of the video, I was thinkin' that How Deep is Your Love might be my favorite song of all time (at least a top three)... it's a nice surprise hearing it from Doctor Mix too! 🤝

[@crazypainter56]

Love the sound of electric piano -I have the Arturia stuff-how about -Mama told me not to come -3 dog night--sounds great

[@martingregory161]

Good list. Would add Supertramp's Bloody Well Right, with a great intro by Rick Davies.

[@Vittorio297]

Grande! Super intros, pure One Hundred Ways! ❤ Congrats Claudio 🖖

[@flicewatter]

One of my all-time favorite tones..nothing compares to a Rhodes, except for the Whirlitzer...

[@ivse9696]

Wonderful and I love it - another great Intro: Styx: Babe 👍👍👍

[@Ram84_1]

how deep is your love hehe that first tune.

[@neurokinetik]

Going to study and learn these!

[@djdrwatson]

Young & Co - 'I Like What You're Doing to Me' (12 inch version) Michael Jackson - 'I Can't Help It' Jamiroquai - 'Blow Your Mind'

[@Phil_529]

+1 for Blow Your Mind. Can't go wrong with Toby.

[@Phil_529]

Check out Azymuth. Villa Mariana - De Tarde has some great rhodes on it.

[@suspended]

_Music hit differently in the 70's_ _Thx for taking me back Dr. Mix_

[@ScoopexUs]

While there were stereo recordings of piano performances and recitals, and there were experiments even in the 1960s, rotary speakers drove home the point of a stereo sound system. It enveloped you! Very cozy, like electric organs. And it's even more exaggerated with this plugin (good thing). I know quite a few songs I would put here before The Doors... :P but top video! You nailed this upload, Mr. Doctor. :)

[@Ashfaq1999]

Great Video 👍

[@Peychamp]

Hello, thank you so much for this video - your talent is amazing - I read Quincy jone's bibliography - what a life! - In France, we are lucky to have an author who has written about the synthesizer epic, rhode included - incredible entrepreneur and incredible era. It's worth going to wikipedia to see how this keyboard was invented.🍳🛸

[@user-Wqir29482]

Rhodes my beloved ❤❤❤

[@Kouros-t6d]

baby come back - Player no quarter - Led Zeppelin

[@MrCrrispy]

+1 for No Quarter 🙂

[@piratemakers]

Bee Gees you're favorit of all times ? I love it :) thanks for all the good content ! You're the best !

[@pauleugene8286]

I love hearing the songs, and your playing Claudio! I can't wait to hear the next Rhodes song. I'm not sure you can top "Never can say goodbye..."

[@Keyswiz71]

Dammit I'm a sucker for a Rhodes piano! 😁😍

[@ewtam24]

Thank you!

[@nebelweiss6999]

Favoritt Roades song is Pekka Pohjola with sekoilu seestyy🥰 And of course Roades

[@danielduda6111]

We agree on places 1 and 4.

[@OneMorningSongs]

Rhodes, the perfect sound 🖤

[@MelihKoc41]

Nice ❤ Doktor 🎉🎉🎉

[@rcom9880]

Such tasty selections!

[@andretmadrid]

Very nice music class 🌟

[@Acostavre]

Oh que belleza escuchar todos estos intros

[@maxopher6386]

the dude such an incredible album forreal!

[@adamsaben3299]

Fun video!

[@andycaddell236]

You could easily make this a top ten and include "New Frontier" by Donald Fagen, "Still Crazy After All These Years" by Paul Simon and "A Spaceman Came Travelling" by Chris deBurgh. Great video and sounds Dr Mix.

[@periodinstruments8651]

Nice sounds. The intro of the Riders of the storm is not correct though , as in original song, there is a full bar with only the Ostinato bass notes before the descending cascade of 16th notes which imitate the rain. The key signature is also Also the melodic between that doest start on beat 1 but between beat 3 and 4 and finally the original key signature is different. It is so iconic. Other than that , well done.

[@汗をかいたアヒル]

The ears on this man!

[@InXLsisDeo]

Yes, it's amazing how he can recreate complex chord progressions on the spot !

[@coldacre]

"Riders on the storm" is in the wrong key??? the songs in Em, your version is in Dm? strange

[@habbi1974]

i also noticed this, maybe because it simplifies that descending line in semiquavers, by using just white keys

[@docroxchannel]

Grande Claudio,in the Heart

[@33ad1]

Awesome !!

[@benjaminprietop]

I have to admit I've never heard that James Ingram song, I'll listen to it right away!

[@BrockLanders-u9g]

Yes to this.

[@saniarightone4446]

Bee Gees In My Heart ❤

[@SoundsToBlowYourMind]

All great! Have you tried No Quarter ? That has to be up there with the best of them!

[@fredhuybens2783]

Living for the city , not ‘leaving’.

[@harryjones5260]

my fave rhodes intro santana 'dawn/go within' from moonflower

[@craigcousins6718]

In the mix.....with dr mix!!

[@sylvainrenault]

Dope !

[@cellpat7392]

Hi Dr. I had no idea you were Culture Killer at another time. Its great to see you again, and your keyboard colection is most impressive. What model Roland is it you are playing at the beginning? That workstation looks huge.

[@kidsonicofficial]

2:54 it's Living for the City.

[@groovindj]

He's not leaving any time soon.

[@blackjackpinoko]

Superb

[@onesumatra]

I don't believe you have missed Stely Dan Babylon Sisters song!

[@raulflechamayordomo4357]

I recommend you the solo intro of Rhodes piano of Juan Pachanga salsa song, played by maestro Papo Lucca. Regards, Claudio!

[@AugustusBroadford]

thanks Doctor - 🎹❤

[@marcellobencardino]

Thanks for the relaxing time, with these Rhodes sounds... How about Styx - Babe? Classic!! :D

[@BillVincent]

Wonderful! Please tell me that you had to practice some of these before recording to get them note for note! Otherwise I'm feeling very inadequate as I slop some of these sometimes!

[@defrigge]

The Rhodes Anthology is nice in a certain range of not too dynamic play, and mostly covered in its effects. Outside of that, the small sample size in connection with some kind of modelling does not deliver the same Rhodes quality as The Famous E, Keyscape and Scarbee deliver. Still I like using it for some special use cases, with the Sparkletop variation better playable and not as problematic as the original or NIs version of it, just offering some pleasant vintage sound. Attack and release also can sound a bit unnatural in this new Rhodes plugin. And the modelled amps are only static snapshots and not well adjustable. Finally its midrange heavy warmth, while sounding pleasant solo, is quite problematic in a mix, and it doesn't sound good any longer for my taste, when you turn down the mellow mids: this plugin is incapable of kicking butt with a more agressive, less lower mids heavy sound, like a real amped Rhodes is very capable of doing. To sum up my experience with it: Lots of limits, and some really nice sweet spots.

[@InXLsisDeo]

Until now, the Rhodes VST of reference was AAS Lounge Lizzard, it's a great plugin but their price is ludicrous, more than twice that of Rhodes ! So the choice is a no brainer.

[@AnthonyCodringtonTopCat]

Mark 1 rules. I’m biased because I have one lol. Seriously though most of the classics were made on a mark 1 stage or suitcase so I had to get one.

[@carmafons.a.3403]

You shall put "Babe" from Styx instead of "Riders on the storm"

[@marcusunivers]

Riders on the storm brings me back into the streets of NFS Underground 2 😎

[@EjuEj]

10cc I’m not in love?

[@jcbermu]

The Rhodes sound is made with the same stuff the dreams are made...

[@Mr.1.i]

Rhodes piano is a unmistakably recognised baritone sound

[@valleyken]

- Cool.

[@MrKoi13]

No.5

[@lthomas63]

awesome video as always but how could you possibly forget Bob James Angela, also known as the theme from taxi!

[@SonictrainkidDoesFurryStuff]

15:54 and i am about to cry too
