When you have completed the game 100% and now you're just doing all the side quests from the beginning...
-
this man can process music faster then any cpu in this world
-
the absolute bewilderment at the absence of pitch in the beginning is great
-
Every dream theater musician is unbelievably amazing at what they do.
-
Make this a series with this man. I'd watch every episode. This was incredible!
-
As a 50 year drummer I watch the Drumeo series with the same format. This blew me away. Wayyy harder than adlibbing a beat. The man is a master of his craft.
-
At this point, he and his keyboard are one and the same. Absolute unity.
-
An absolute MASTER at his craft. Those of us Dream Theater fans would absolutely love a version of this video that is just the booth to see their reactions as these people learn what we've known for decades. I love sharing him and this band with everyone.
-
Never did I think I'd listen to the pianist for Dream Theater playing honky-tonk over Empire State of Mind, but here we are. And it makes my soul happy.
-
Ive neever heard a keyboard guitar solo sound this amazing before.
-
It’s a magical thing to see someone with full musical fluency.
-
Honestly an Alicia Keys and Jordan Rudess Piano composition would probably one of the coolest and interesting crossover's for years to come if done right. Because they are just to vastly talented musician's with insanely different styles. I think it would be interesting to see overall
-
I love when Jordan hears the full track, he’s like “oh ok”, plays the exact notes, and then proceeds to jam over the whole thing. What amazing talent!
-
I’m not a Dream Theater guy but each member of this band is so talented it’s sick.
-
This is my 5th time coming back to watch this since it was released. Never gets old with Rudess!
-
I have been a hobbyist musician for 35 years and watching someone this talented perform like this is awe inspiring. Literally made my eyes water a bit.
-
Let's be honest. Jordan got bored by the chord progression so he decided to go bonkers and have fun.
-
It’s interesting how, because the piano is removed, until we get to the chorus there is no indication of what key we are in! So Jordan was taking it in a completely different direction tonally! Then when the vocal arrived at the chorus he very quickly clocked the correct chords and by 3:20 was SHREDDING!! 😂
-
i see... this is what talent + perfect pitch + passion + perseverance can achieve... wow...
-
Sometimes the internet give you a life changing moment! I am blown away. Thank you to all who put his production together. 👏👏👏
