Jordan Rudess Master Class

[@dylanaguilar6545]

Jordan already has all the infinity stones in his hands

Jordan is the reason why dream theater sounds magical. Fixed it for you.

[@dennisbickley9813]

His talent is godlike. All the guys in dream theater are totally amazing. The tightest band I've ever heard. I have the dream theater dvds, score celebrating 20 years, chaos in motion, and live at luna pier with the new drummer mike mangini, record holder over 1200 beats a min. Love mike portnoy still. You just cant compare the 2. Back to Jordan though, his composed pieces have brought tears to my eyes. Talened people like that come once in a lifetime. For anyone out there who will listen, those DVDS are a must have. It'll leave ya speechless. If I ever got the chance to meet any of those guys I'd probably have a heart attack. Thank you Dream theater for all the amazing music that has blessed my life

[@Nonconform14]

yes a good, right Komment, Bro

[@AgEyal]

This guy is absolutely incredible.

[@jeremythornton433]

Nobody HAS to like it but I for one think his playing is magnificent and very soulful.

[@bahritkharakor9257]

simply genius....Jordan Rudess u rules!

[@bubusdeolivos]

IMHO, genius is, for example, Gregg Rolie for his Oye Como Va Hammond solo or Keith Emerson for his TARKUS riff or From The Beginning Moog solo.

[@elcapitanneurona]

+bubusdeolivos I'm a musician from this generation asshole ! And the future is near with this kind of musician , the masters of the 70s are the master , but the future lives with the spirit and the knowledge of JR

[@bubusdeolivos]

+Os Musick if you are so fond of JR...pendejo...why don't you get a room with him and praise his speed...you're so fast... Tired of your kind of rookie musician. You need someone to change your diapers.

[@smileclever9528]

The best pianist that i've seen...

[@keyman8164]

So giving of his time. All the videos he's put out to help anyone who will spend the time to listen. Not boastful, prideful. He knows he's gifted and is using said gift to share his music. I would guess he doesn't sleep much. I've only met him in videos on KZbin and he appears to be a caring, humble, sincere individual. Behind closed doors he might be the raving lunatic taking control of any situation....but I doubt it. How many musicians do you know of that spends this much time doing demonstrations, touring, writing apps for IOS, writing books, developing new instruments, is married, recording, etc...and still takes questions and will do a meet and greet afterwards? Really? Some may not like his music but you have to admire his dedication, if not, you're missing the boat. 17/8 time signature....could you count that for me please? LOL. And "he lacks heart and soul"...well then...go listen to whatever it is that turns you on but do it over there. This is a different kind of musician. Perhaps most of us don't quite understand, and that's fine. But until you try to attempt playing a keyboard please understand, it takes decades to get to this point and for me, I'm glad he's still doing it. He said it a few times...passion.

[@jolteon43]

I'd love to meet him someday, what an inspiring musician!

[@amandapanda7416]

What? I think i tuned out

[@KevinRyan-MouthAlmighty]

@@jolteon43 - An obviously amazing musician and a man with a good sense of humor. I did get the chance to meet Jordan in New York City. We happened upon the same street corner and i recognized him immediately. i thought rather than impose, i would have bit of fun. I asked Jordan, "Say, have I ever seen you out playing in a piano bar or karaoke maybe?" - I asked with a smile, sending the message that I knew exactly who he was. Rudess replied, also with a smile..."Why yes, I think you might have."..and with that, we parted.

[@stellaborealis4846]

Whoever is saying that “he lacks heart and soul” is totally BS ing. I always feel warm and fuzzy when I hear Jordan’s piano. He is unique and a magician. He’s so wholesome.

[@christianweidtke7439]

Absolutely ... Can't await to see Jordan live again.

[@GregoryE.Bolton]

This truly is a master class!!! Thank you Jordan very much!!! To continued success for you and your band mates!!! G. Bolton 😊😊😊

[@jiahanghe8032]

I saw him with DT several days ago. it's 2019 and he's already 62... but still have the passion like the 20s.

[@mikelambert4492]

Seriously though, you played amazingly Jordan. Thank you for stepping into, and filling a position, that was ultimately made for you in Dream Theater, that through that journey you would spread your wings and fly multidimensionally. Into a career defined only by your ambition. Thank you sir. For the beautiful tones.

[@promethiousb1489]

100% pure class.

[@Synthonizers]

C'est fabuleux, punaise un vrai concert, merci de nous faire partager

[@TheGilounet]

Absolutely great! Thanks Jordan, thanks Korg

[@markaprill6501]

A Cool thing about Jordan is that he is the first person I saw giving keyboard and technology advise on KZbin…he got me totally sold on the idea that iPad was the wave of the future for music and even was uses an iPad on stage…this has not happened but he was right it is an amazing tool for making music. I see he has one on stage now.

[@leonardovmusic]

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@watdahek2]

I a pianist have had the privilege to see this maestro 5 times with the band Dream Theater, and once front row. Amazing fingers!

[@DatAnydex]

Jordan is such a genius. Every dumb comment about what ‘he does not do’ is irritating. When one can play like Jordan, anything musical is achievable. It’s people like Jordan and Guthrie Govan that take us into realms of music previously unrealized.

[@antony.emmatty]

After all, dream theatre is like a pack of cards. 4kings in a row!! :-):-)

[@InnAyyur]

hahahaha, nice one !!

[@andrejbanovcin6909]

Nobody can say so about LaBrie 😁

[@emperoring112]

Andrej Bánovčin Disagree, James is a talented singer too. He does well given his age and two vocal injuries later, can’t expect him sing like he did when he was younger.

[@CTeves97]

Sky Quest Music Official 2? When was the 2nd one?

[@edsonree3251]

he's really really very good. He's a great pro keyboardist.

[@vewilli]

J. R., the best there was, there is and there ever will be! The magician!

[@rustyshackleford4743]

One thing I want to point out is that people like Jordan have the luxury of spending so much time messing with all this new gear because he's already technically adept and able to write amazing music. Of course there's nothing wrong with noobs or intermediates doing this as well, but I recommend doing it in moderation. And the reason is because it's incredibly easy to spend too much of your time getting lost in finding the best gear and learning how to use it. Don't be one of those people who spends their time arguing over analog vs digital in the forums when you really should be spending that time practicing. Just focus on writing and recording good music WITH WHAT YOU HAVE. Find something that allows you to achieve good tone and that has the features you absolutely need, then spend your time working on your technique and writing.

[@___xyz___]

Rusty Shackleford I think my problem is that I'm a pianist, but I've got five guitars, drums, a pair of bass guitars, a dozen keyboards, percussion and various orchestral instruments. I also have tons of studio gear that goes to each instrument. And I actually try to maintain it all and keep it in good shape. Half of it is stored with family and friends. I spent everything I earned since middle school and barely ate food while in university. The idea was that I'd provide my band with instruments and a place to practice, because I come from a home of scarcity, in a neighborhood with friends who couldn't afford such things. Of course, by the time I'd acquired a band's worth I was no longer playing in a band, my friends had moved on, my time was limited by studies and interests had changed. So now I'm basically living in a condo together with a zoo of musical history. And I can't play shit, because I spent all my time trying to figure out how stuff worked and how best to afford anything. I'll probably end up donating it to a children's music institute or something. I prefer listening over playing today anyways. Such a wasted youth...

[@kurzed4904]

[@Yizak]

word

[@gringochucha]

Most guitar players I know are absolutely obsessed with gear and pickups and pedals. I have a Squire guitar and sometimes I'll tell people that what I recorded was on a Fender. Nobody has ever been able to tell the difference.

[@faruzzy]

This is so true for every domain of life. Focus on the how and not the what!! Time is your best asset. So use it wisely!

[@MikkoRantalainen]

1:16:35 "All the tools in the world won't necessarily help you to make music, but may help you to have a really good time." and then Jordan continues to demo awesome playing with iPad + 3 octave wireless keyboard only. Respect!

My admiration for his interactive level and a great applause. ..But I am going well on the path of the evolution of things like Disc Jockey, Musician, Composer, Soloist of modern musical devices and at the time of combining them through advanced MIDI and the evolution of modern music doing Direct Sessions with their own songs and intrepetandolos live and direct, playing, mixing, combining, mutating, etc ... My dear friends I cheer with all things and let's all go with joys and congratulations ... to dance everyone ...

[@stjemmacommunications5068]

Pwolichu muthe

[@matthewalchin576]

there are people who don't like this? I guess thats ok, but a little weird! a game changer of a musician.

[@Virtuoso80]

Jordan has such a weird hand technique. It's very finger-y and he keeps his wrists low and back away from the keyboard. I've never seen a concert pianist do that, so I wonder if it came from his classical training or if it's just a habit he got into doing himself.

[@siwhotmahendra]

"At nine, he entered the Juilliard School of Music Pre-College Division for classical piano training, but by his late teens he had grown increasingly interested in synthesizers and progressive rock music. Against the counsel of his parents and tutors, he turned away from classical piano and tried his hand as a solo progressive rock keyboardist" Taken from Wikipedia

[@mycarrysun]

In his loudwire video he said one of his teachers would force his arm down the piano while doing arpeggios to get him used to that motion and that it just needed to flow with the speed of the music. Pretty sure that's where that finger-y style came from. You can tell he doesn't contort his arm around to fit fingers on keys which is what he mentioned was part of the technique he learned from that teacher. He was like 7 or 9 years old or something.

[@pipemusik]

la verdad suena muy bien que rico que cambiara mas de tonalidad para la interpretación

[@TeclasBrasil]

What is the concert in 1:22:43 ?

[@Ioakeim]

[@zainb.9416]

he's getting old. :-) hope the best for him.

[@AngelsPiano]

Who isn't? lol

[@AlexisGitarre]

indeed

[@FrancisMaxino]

A lot of it has to do with his posture and technique, he needs to lift his left wrist higher and relax his shoulder blades back, unfortunately some people develop bad habits and keep on with them only to lock themselves into bad muscle memory that sets in to make them look a bit contorted when they play.

[@ChrisMichaelsChicago]

What was that time signature again? Johnny asks enthusiastically.. Jordan replies, "Why it's 27/8 for 3 bars, then every OTHER 4th bar it's just standard 13/8, except following the coda, in which it's replaced by 12 bars of 3/4, then Back to infinity on the fade out
