Drumeo and pianote should try to do this simultaneously

[@claire.morgan]

YES!

[@justinerb6975]

@scottsbasslessons for the bass part!

[@code_monkey_steve]

Yes, just replace each part of a song until there's a totally new song. It's a Ship of Theseus, but for music.

[@cjleongson]

And guitareo of course

[@davidramirezrodriguez3373]

YESSS!!!!

[@DVTOM]

I met him and talked to him. I'm a huge Dream theater fan but this guy is on another level in his head when it comes to music even from Dream Theater. His thinking and talent is unmatched. He is the best in the world all around and can play anything in every way as displayed here. He hears tones and patterns as you and i can speak. The best decision DT ever made was to make him a DT member.

[@Samuri5hit84]

The new one with Alicia Keys "Empire State of Mind" really has that effect of what you're saying. "Speaking with music the way we talk". Incredible musician that imo redefines what a keyboard player could be. He's both cool while extremely well versed in all music. No to offend keyboard/piano players, however most of them just don't appear as cool as Jordan does. His style and his music makes him a very good candidate for any keyboard players to aspire to be like him one day, and I do really hope he inspires a lot of people.

[@modelcitizen1977]

Hard agree here. There's nobody alive with more technical proficiency combined with an encyclopedic knowledge of various kinds of music, on top of being just a stunningly pleasant human being. He's the Paul Gilbert of keyboards.

[@timsarai]

That guitar riff on The Metal is one of the best riffs ever in my opinion

[@bernardodc9631]

to me is the worst, there are so many better songs from tenacious D in which kyle rock's

[@timsarai]

@ yes I imagine it’s an acquired taste. It’s pretty complex and there’s a lot going on. Sometimes the best riffs are the simple ones. Satisfaction by Rolling Stones is a prime example

[@alex_keidg]

We need full collaboration with Jack Black!

[@PianoteOfficial]

That would be INCREDIBLE🔥

[@DamienDrake]

I'm hoping that's what this inspires. The day I heard Tenacious D cover Britney Spears, part of me died. They need to rock again!

[@bmac4]

Get JB with his toy horn to play Panic Attack lol

[@aless3676]

Why not Jack Black as the new singer of DT

Jordan Rudess hasn't aged in 200 years.

[@DCJayhawk57]

Wizard blood.

[@ivanbrasla]

He's so good because he's been rocking the keyboard for 125 years

[@KitWriter]

What else would you expect from the Dragon Lord, Jordan Rudess? 😂

[@giancarlocoustenitzoff1640]

He was born looking like that... Only smaller

[@rap3208]

He aged quickly to 200 then stopped aging.

[@imiany999]

Control room: "What is he DOING?!" Jordan: **shredding**

[@jellyfoxmusic]

0:38 Person in control room: I’m gonna ask you a random question Jordan: *immediately plays ‘Do you know the way to San Jose?’ 😂

Amazing call out. 👏 🤣

Best part of the video.

[@Greg-om2hb]

Greetings from San Jose.

@@DaMorg3 even better that it was completely unnoticed lol

[@ShaunHensley]

She said “do you know..” and immediately he returns with that riff in response😂

[@lucasenglund4468]

2:25 I love how he actually got it just right on the 3rd Idea he tried

[@ClifHaley]

Ha me too! I had to rewind it to make sure he hadn't already heard it.

[@Mtaalas]

What blows my mind how in tune he's with his mod/pitch controls for the left hand... he has that stuff that solo guitarists do down perfectly and he's able to simulate IMPROVISING many things solo guitarists can do.. That's really god damn difficult honestly... he's been honing that for decades...

[@antoinebunel]

The talent AND ultra niceness of Jordan Rudess are both super endearing, I really love watching and listening to him ! Big thanks Jordan for your cool fun energy and wicked playing !!

[@DisruptedSinner]

Holy wow, that was EPIC! Jordan Rudess is an absolutely phenomenal musician. He rips it up and nails it every single time.

[@michaelberresford4291]

I love how easy it is to inspire this truly talented man.

[@garylayton5719]

Jordan’s improv skills are unmatched. The guy is insane. ❤

[@morbidmanmusic]

no/ fans....

[@ddawg3974]

Nah, he can play cra,y quick but it doesn't match the song at all.

[@UltimaPowers]

Love how he casually nails the main riff by accident and then goes "whatever".

[@garysmith8455]

@@ddawg3974 To me as a keyboardist that owns TWO of those Kronos boards, he is always about speed and lead. Like guitarists that continuously SHRED! It becomes a blurrrrr and leaves me wanting some TASTFUL, and heartfelt feeling and arrangement.

[@gringochucha]

So basically "Jordan Rudess noodles over extremely simple song" 😂😂

[@DMoragaA]

Hope Jack Black hears this 😍

[@kimmokyla-laaso4443]

I would have loved to see Jordan actually learn the songs and building them up with extra keyboard layers instead of watching him do impro solos the whole time. So much wasted potential here.

[@kaonashi4693]

I second this.

[@bassimprovjams3772]

I can agree to this, gotta be fair as much as I love Jordan

[@Zwopper]

Totally agree, now it's just wankery. To bad.

[@tomryberg9650]

To be fair, I’m wondering if it’s even in his wheelhouse to approach music in some way other than this. His shred skills are undeniable, but maybe he can only hear his own outermost layer on top of everything else, rather than figure out how to elevate and support what others are creating? Or he’s just not taking these challenges seriously/creatively. ETA…okay, just caught his Animals As Leaders video. He crafts actual parts that blend on that one! Much more satisfying.

[@MikeDBZ]

Gotta agree, this video doesn't do much to inspire. Its just shredding, might as well be in his room with some cream and tissues.

[@damiworld]

This is going to be absolutely fantastic.

[@PianoteOfficial]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rubenyanezoficial]

Is was :,)

[@alkaliforever9051]

Please pair up with drumeo and do a full song with a full band each having their part removed from their track.

[@jeffleonhardt7173]

The first time I listened to Jordan was a demo for Spectrasonics Omnisphere. Been a fan ever since!

[@ReadABookAndLearn]

So I’ve been playing piano for about 1 1/2 years, and have been watching your videos just as long. And videos like this inspire me as well as blow my mind with Jordan’s playing.

When Jordan Rudess comes along and plays guitar better than any guitarist... on his keyboard... I hope the D does a collab... so cool.

[@Neydayofficial]

We need a collaboration between Jordan Rudess and Tenatious D 😂🤘

[@caseyessod]

RIP Tenacious D lol

[@metalmaniaclukeuk]

The fact at around 245 he worked out the main riff perfectly with 3 pattern examples is sensational

[@lilkujo]

Holy hell... what did I just read? 🤣

[@philipkarovski281]

​@lilkujo he means that around 2:39 he plays something very similar to what the main riff is

[@auradmg]

The guitar was cut out of the listen-through but the bass wasn't, so he was able to get a feel for the rhythm key. It's not a very complex riff!

[@PerpetuallyTiredMusician]

Jordan is a better guitarist on keys than most guitarists are on guitar.

[@rockywoolverton9596]

He's just enjoying himself. What an awesome demonstration!

[@brianskinner5212]

Dream Theater played tenacious D songs as the house music before their scenes from a memory shows in 1999

[@donericdisante]

Oh man, that was back in their Mr show days. Those would have been old demo versions of the album that would be released in 2001.

[@brianskinner5212]

@@donericdisante it actually might have been a few years later when they toured with Kings X and Joe Satriani

[@donericdisante]

@@brianskinner5212 I wondered if that was the likely case. It's hard to keep track of things that are more than 20 years old

[@biorythmicshifter]

Nothing can outsmart this guy…

[@Gurlandia]

Jordan's a total beast oh man the technique is just out of space!

[@jdanielortega]

You can clearly see how he's trying to cram up all 16:34 minutes a Dream Theater Song usually lasts in those 3 minutes of song. Bro didn't even breath to maximize the notes cadence.

[@rudysal1429]

Yea, kinda not as interesting. He seems to only go ham and not have any dynamic moments.

[@uraniumcranium2613]

@@rudysal1429 Fantastic composer and writer but improv is definitely not his strong point.

[@pecesdeciudadmx]

Look for the "Animals as leaders" video and his dance moment. I'm a composer and work as this way, put music and then cut off all unnecessary when no time to multiple hearings of original material not mine.

[@sickofyou4408]

​@@rudysal1429 tbh this song isn't the best choice if you're looking for interesting dynamic moments, i don't think it's wrong to just shred mindlessly for a metal song

[@gamebred1910]

@@uraniumcranium2613 you gotta be kidding me lol...the guy heard the song for the first time and improvised in a total metal way like he is used to playing, totally his style, and made a very fun improvisation, i was sceptic at first but then I got into it because he put all his energy and style in the improvisation and had so much fun, why is that bad to you? You probably never watched Jordan before with that statement lol

Ich habe Dream Theater mit 15 Jahren zum ersten mal gehört und seit dem inspiriert mich diese Band! Mit 14 hab ich mit Klavier und Keyboard angefangen! Heute bin ich 50 bin immer dabei geblieben und spiele heute noch! Tasteninstrumente zu lernen war die beste und schönste Entscheidung meines Lebens! Ich liebe es und kann ohne nicht mehr leben!❤

[@Rickles]

I wish there was clarification of the purpose. Are we trying to come up with an original part for it, or learn the song?

[@twiddlinbits]

Mr. Rudess is a mad wizard. I wouldn't want to run across him on a long and lonesome road.

[@brianbutterworth6107]

For me, Jordan will always be "the keyboardist on Vinnie Moore's album 'Time Odyssey'"

[@vitoranfrizio]

1:41 when Rudess makes you wanna quit music, but you remember that is your job and you go back to work.

[@DontalkJushoot]

I’ve been a DT fan for almost two decades. I love everything you guys have done with Jordan so far. I want to say you guys can probably get the most views if you do ‘Jordan hears ____ for the first time’ videos, by letting him hear songs that are more radio/mainstream friendly. I can’t believe I’m promoting this, but there’s a reason why the Alicia keys video has the most views since Jordan came on.

[@GrahamsYouTube]

Jordan is an entity of awesomeness!

[@sachabaptista]
