Michael Jackson's Thriller Keyboard Tutorial / Deconstruction (Korg Kronos)

[@narfsounds]

This has got to be the most extensive cover I've seen. What a great setup! Creatively programmed with all sounds coming from one machine. Incredible job!!!

[@a.barnard3205]

Nothing unusual about that. With the proper workstation and big ears, most anyone can recreate anything musical from America to Zappa.

[@oberday]

The arrangement of the diller...chiller...thriller....here toniiiiiiiiiight is absolute songwriting brilliance. RIP Temperton, you were a beast of a writer.

[@UmutErhan]

Couldn't agree more!

[@interestingthings8598]

This is not a simple chord progression.

[@UmutErhan]

=)

[@youmilkpack]

Yup. Genius at play

[@Acbaker23]

Love the fact the speakers are on top of an architecture book.. it’s like you’ve tried to design your own stand, gave up and just used the book instead

[@UmutErhan]

Adam B 😂 lol. Nicely spotted. I was an architecture student back then

[@anishjc16]

Was trying to break down the keyboard bits for a show and I'm so glad I chanced on this. This is beyond amazing. Fantastic stuff!

[@sephrothguy]

Man I just discovered your channel and it's fantastic. I'm a drummer that's been getting into keyboard playing and these are a huge help with learning what things are and what they look like so thank you

[@samuels997]

Mind blowing arrangement with detailed notes on video. Hats off bro!

[@michelkeijzers]

Very nice video ... I really like all the explanations and keyboard split descriptions. (And the jokes in between). And most of all: it sounds really good.

[@turitamasnyirbator]

I would like to see more tutorials like this.

[@UmutErhan]

[@gruperomuzik944]

Umut Erhan did you do all the sequencing in the keyboard or protools or what’s better or quicker?

[@HookedOnSonics]

ExTREMELY well DONE, use of the color over key sections and chord overlay in video is just AWESOME!!!

[@UmutErhan]

+Hooked On Sonics thank you! =)

[@sirmidi5144]

Incredible work. Great playing, transcribing, programming etc.

[@UmutErhan]

+Semi Toleafoa Thank you so much! =)

[@davidmennomoyer]

Terrific - and very helpful! I had a hell of time figuring out the chords at the end of the chorus (the "killer - thriller - chiller" part), and this was exactly what I needed.

[@UmutErhan]

Thank you David! I'm glad I can help =)

[@robchrisaustinsteve]

Lmao most replayed part. Came for the same section!! Saved me a lot of time 😅. It’s Wild 🔥

[@UmutErhan]

Paul Everett Thank you Paul! I love the ending too!

[@themysteriousoa4466]

Don’t know when to start singing? This is the Time Stamp: 1:07 and this is the lyrics: [Verse 1] Its close to midnight and something evils lurking in the dark. Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart. You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it. You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes, you’re paralyzed [Chorus] ‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night! And no ones gonna save you from the beast about strike. You know its thriller, thriller night! You’re fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight! Ooh! ooh! [2nd verse] You hear the door slam and realize theres nowhere left to run. You feel the cold hand and wonder if you’ll ever see the sun. You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination. Girl, but all the while you hear the creature creepin up behind, you’re out of time. [Chorus] ‘Cause this is thriller, thriller night! There aint no second chance against the thing with forty eyes! You know its thriller, thriller night! Youre fighting for your life inside of killer, thriller tonight [Bridge] Night creatures call and the dead start to walk in their masquerade. Theres no escapin the jaws of the alien this time. (they’re open wide) This is the end of your life! Oh! [3rd verse] They’re out to get you, there’s demons closing in on every side. They will possess you unless you change the number on your dial. Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close together. All thru the night I’ll save you from the terror on the screen, I’ll make you see. [Chorus] That this is thriller, thriller night! ‘Cause I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try! Thriller, (Woo hoo) thriller night. So let me hold you tight and share a killer, diller, chiller Thriller here tonight! That this is thriller, thriller night! Girl I can thrill you more than any ghost would dare to try! Thriller, (Woo Hoo) thriller night. So let me hold you tight and share a killer Thriller, Ow! [Instrumental.]

[@korgman2k7]

Great work, and great playing. Love these videos!

[@UmutErhan]

Thank you man! =)

[@a.m.stanti6149]

It sort of sounds like the This is It version of Thriller. Cool

[@UmutErhan]

+A.M.S Tanti haha I love This is It =)

[@impianizzanizz4517]

woah!! SO COMPLEX!!!! Oh my! thx erhan!

[@muratselcuk6556]

Good job bro!! It's good to hear real, quality transcriptions on KZbin!

[@UmutErhan]

Thanks! =)

[@miguelpinheiro_]

This is AMAZING!! Congrats

[@bethshapiro1011]

I want to learn this....awesome arrangement...great job!!!!!!

[@LucasDiMario]

Just amazing!!! congratz!

[@Bashanvibe]

sering u perform this on Kronos gets me closer to the reason why I need to have this board with my set up!!! I'm a Roland lover but this will make my job look even more easy with everything it has to offer!!!

[@dynamitekid8967]

Do check out Uptown Funk: Korg Kronos Demonstration by David Champagne running time on video is 19:47 you'll love it! And sooner or later you'll want to by it! This video and that video now makes me want to get a Korg Kronos 2 88 keys. I'm buying one next week! I'm so excited already, sorry Kurzweil PC3K8 your just so hard to program. This would be my upgrade from Korg M1. Peace everyone!

[@Bashanvibe]

+Dynamite Kid yes I did check it out sir!!! the Kronos will soon be in my hands really soon now!!!

[@dynamitekid8967]

Bashanvibe whoa! I'm so glad you liked the video that I shared with you! now I'm really blown away by your answer! Advance congratulations on your soon to be your new board Korg Kronos 2! Have a nice day Sir!

[@Bashanvibe]

+Dynamite Kid no problem so as I get it I have a lot of digging to do really fast I want to maximize the performance this board has to offer!!!

[@UmutErhan]

I used other keyboards before Kronos but this is really something different. It expands the possibilities a lot! And you can discover new things everyday with just experimenting!

[@jerry77028]

I've had the Korg Kronos 2 since June, but NEVER played, I'll start to learn it next week. You made it sound really, really good.. THANKS. I also have the Yamaha Motif XF7, and I love it's ease of use.

[@dynamitekid8967]

You have the same setup rig like the keyboard at Westlife boy band, he has the Korg Kronos 88 keys and Yamaha on top of it! Which is a very good combination! Take a lot of practice and patience you'll learn the Korg Kronos in no time. As the saying goes, if you build it, it will come! Take care and God bless you Sir! Peace everyone!

[@gracegeorgeabraham4725]

Seeing everyone own great keyboards makes me feel inferior. I'm a keyboardist, but still can't afford even a Kross.

[@Aleks-jo4eg]

​@@gracegeorgeabraham4725 А какая цена синтезатора KRONOS 1/2 в вашей стране ??? И из кокой вы страны??? Где вы живёте??? Заранее спасибо!!!

[@josecarlosvazquezdiaz5844]

What a nice way to explain this song

[@alphasxsignal]

Glad to see people use the Kronos for songs of all types and show them playing it and the chords etc used in the songs for other people to learn a bit too.

[@dhpstudios2009]

THE Kronos does it all

[@hardikkksolanki]

awesome brother, best videography and awesome arrangements and playing........ very smartly used all functions of Kronos..... hats Off to you

[@UmutErhan]

Thank you man =)

[@GreNadeMusicNL]

There is one mistake, in the intro the instrumental bit that you write down as C#m7 - E - E - F# - C#m is incorrect. That C#m should be a E with a C# in the base. It's played as an inversion, so B E G# with the C# note in the base. So a C# m7. Great work otherwise! Very, very nice

[@maximusfrank2835]
