You're a Virtuoso, man. Keep it up!

[@carlosalbertoteixeira375]

MONSTER!!!!!

[@jerzygawor958]

Love it. Add the best and highest quality lead guitar, bass and drums and you have Liquid Tension Experiment. WOW!!!

[@awaken77]

My favorite JR keyboard solo. It's in the traditions of classic prog (Yes, Genesis, Camel), rather than his usual metal noodling/shredding which leaves me cold

[@SignalFragments]

Totally agree! I find there’s quite a bit of cold technique flashing going on in the band in general. Lacks a bit of feel and love, but this one is awesome :)

[@pd_is_ethel]

I was just thinking that it absolutely screams The Lamb.

[@AtomizedSound]

Meh all of his stuff is amazing no matter what style

[@jarongittinger]

@@pd_is_ethel Sounds very similar to Tony's face melting solo in Down and Out

[@jamespeterson1630]

YES YOU SAID IT PERFECTLY exactly why I dont like most of his solos but love this. Awaken the Master solo is also pretty cool but Ill take Kevins or Dereks solos usually any day.

Thank you:)

[@pizzamahn1208]

Love it

[@leadpipejustice9253]

Super saiyan levels of shred

[@SignalFragments]

Hahaha! That's a good one XD

[@troymontgomery4541]

How long did it even take you to learn this? I mean anything written by Jordan Rudess is close to impossible to learn. Bet yet you play the entire solo key for key and note for note!🔥🔥🔥 How long did it take you to learn this?

[@warrenosborne6044]

Roll it man! Give us the Model D Moog, Are you working? This bass player hasn't done a gig since Jan 20. Thanks for the groove, oz

[@SignalFragments]

Happy you like it! I would love to have a Model D :) Christmas gift for next year I guess haha XD Please subscribe to support our channel

[@Upal_Chattopadhyay]

Can u tell me the steps how to practise this piece so that I can play it as flawlessly as u??

[@SignalFragments]

The best way in my opinion is to deconstruct the patterns and practice them individually. That way you can focus on each sequence on its own. If need be, you should slow down the fast bits in order to catch all the wizardry.

[@Upal_Chattopadhyay]

@@SignalFragments alright doing that, but even if im fasting up a little bit, im messing it up, guess i should practise it at a slower tempo fr now❤️

[@tvnja]

The blind faith unison reminds me a bit of this. Maybe because both are not mindless shredding.

[@SignalFragments]

Yeah unfortunately with Jordan Rudess it often is mindless shredding…

[@PhilistineTheArtLuvr]

I remember how back in the 70's there were some bands who have a disclaimer on their albums and it'd say something like, "No keyboards were used in the making of this record." Why the fuck would they say that?!

[@SignalFragments]

Hahaha, such a weird era indeed, but definitely my favourite for some of the best music ever made :)

[@victormunoz248]

What sound did you use?

[@PiJAlois]

😵‍💫

[@zcliu8614]

😂I did the same thing - putting a IKEA plank on upper tier to hold my MacBook and audio interface

[@SignalFragments]

Haha, that’s the way to go :)

[@awaken77]

how this program is called in Nord Stage? very much like classic Minimoog

[@SignalFragments]

Ouf! I don’t remember, I ended up creating a patch for this one, but I no longer have it :(

[@philskepsis9885]

UN BE LIE VE ABLE

[@hvsgtd]

🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@SignalFragments]

Thank you :)

[@joeyruimy3454]

[@davidkyle2073]

[@SignalFragments]

Yeah big time! I was never really a fan of Jordan Rudess, but oh well...

[@didinefertikh2971]
