Rock music attracts exponentially more fans than jazz ever has, the obvious reason being that it is better music. Both have record companies, marketing and backing, and anyone can listen to anything; the majority eschew jazz, because it sucks. It's pretty much the only genre where people don't play well with others - everyone is a band except jazz players, because they all need to be the star.

It's not about the fact he's playing music, it's just sitting like that for more than a couple minutes definitely isn't great for you, but still really isn't related to the music or fact he is playing the keyboard. His core and arm posture is good, just the slight lean and hunching over at the neck might cause some problems. Although, really who am I to say anything about his posture if it means he can play like that and it doesn't seem to affect him (he does play keyboards standing a lot from what I know so it might just be he isn't as used to sitting down playing an upright or grand piano)

Also Light My Fire came out just a few years earlier (in 1967). So everything seems to fit ^^. Now you could argue how likely it is that he hasn't played it all the time since then. However it doesn't seems to be unreasonable. Think of something you've done when you were a kid that you haven't done since then. There are always things like that in everyone's life.

They teach classical music in which the interpretation is limited to articulation and a little tempo fluctuations.

@@eddiejohansson1949 classical music in the baroque and classical period were full of improvisations. Even composers from the romantic period were improvising from time to time. I think it was only til the 19th or 20th century did improvisations in classical music die off, which is a shame. I really wish I was taught to improvise when I learned piano, it would have improved my ears so much more.

This guy is absolutely incredible.

Without even looking at the keyboard, smiling at the camera instead. His hands have minds of their own

I quit piano when I was 11. I picked it up again later. I was the same way, I learned the piano organically before I ever had lessons. We had one at home from the time I could remember. Before I could even get up on the bench or see the keyboard, I would reach up and feel the notes, listen, and pick out songs. Sometimes I think I was lucky to be exposed to the piano as just an object with 88 buttons that I could interact organically with instead of being told how I was SUPPOSED to interact with it. Of course later when I got into lessons, I would start improvising "other stuff" with the songs I was assigned, and especially at our weekly group lesson, my teacher would have to stop and explain to the group what I was doing, and that while it sounded good and was technically not "wrong" what I was playing appeared nowhere on the music. To this day people are amazed when I can listen to a song once or twice, and play my own interpretation of it.

Me: I think I'll play piano. Loudwire: Dream Theater's Jordan Rudess Plays His Favorite Keyboard Parts. Me: *walks away*

He looks so happy when he plays and you can hear pieces of his personality when it comes out in his playing. He is a true musician, one like we've never seen before

This is the shortened ‘KZread version’ of his solo tour. It was honestly amazing and so personable to see his personal journey with music. Also got to be in the first people to hear one of his Wired for Madness songs sung. I asked him in our meet and greet to play four notes of the unreleased Distance Over Time album which he laughed at and didn’t do haha.

Jordan you are such a gift to music, your storytelling and explanation make watching you so enjoyable, thanks for all the lessons and videos on your playing, truly amazing

The irony of not allowing him to improvise over Bach Preludes despite the fact Bach was famous in his lifetime as a virtuosic performer who improvised.

My philosophy with 'making' music is that limiting improv also limits your ability to experiment. Some of the best stuff I have ever made is after hours of improvising when I finally hit exactly what fits/what sounds great to me, which is normally nowhere near what I thought it would be (or piecing together the best bits over the session). Not improvising is like a writer not having multiple drafts of a novel, and I don't care how good a writer is, everyone needs to edit something in their work.

Jordan is so good it's like Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin and a grand piano itself had one giant orgy, this would be their genius prodigy kid: Jordan Rudess! It's like in groundhog day when Bill Murray learns piano, except Jordan must have been stuck in that same day for about 4000 years, he's that good.

he still feels every single note after so many years he playing piano. i love this.

Wow, Jordan, this was like a master class to me. I've always loved your playing ability but now I understand it deeper. And I got a few good hints along the way too! Thanks for sharing!

That lead on Overture 1928 is what got me into Dream Theater. Bravo Jordan!

It was a pleasure to watch Jordan talk about and play through his history as a pianist! There are many awe-inspiring Rudess moments in Dream Theater for me, but my favorite is in my favorite song of all time: Octavarium. His keyboard section that brings in movement III, "Full Circle," is still as much a joy for me to hear the 200th time as the first. I'll always be grateful that Rudess brought his immense talent to rock music.

That entire song to me is a masterpiece. The Continuum blew my mind in the intro. When I heard it for the first time, I thought it was Petrucci on guitar. That song is truly a gem. The synth solo in the 12th minute is right up there with the solo from Home.

I simply cannot smile wide whenever he plays a fun run or arpeggio because he establishes mood by adding harmony to the atmosphere of every song. His DT stuff is mind-blowing, yeah but seeing his takes on classics just make my heart full of joy. God bless this wizard.

I love Jordan's solos in Dance of Eternity, the whole song sounds like an epic boss theme and his parts nasty af🤘. All DT members are monsters of their craft. I can really see that he lives for music, the joy that he has for reminiscing and playing is great, you'd think playing Dance of Eternity would get old after the 700th time playing it but he clearly loves it. Simply a Legend, nothing more to say.

To be honest The Dream Theater is one of my latest discoveries. Sounds funny but nobody's perfect. Combination of all of you sounds great, massive great mixture of heavy sound with progressive rock sound. The Liquid Tension Experiment - I was sitting close to two hours listening all from start to the end with you and Tony Levin and Petrucci and Portnoy. I am hooked. All the best from Europe /Poland Marek (55)

Absolutely mesmerizing and inspiring watching a man who's dedicated his life to music, the best of the best. Thanks Jordan, the world needs more like you.

This man leaks love for music.

I absolutely LOVE the effort Jordan went through to make this video, not only his enthusiasm, but the sheer effort and time he put into the different cool camera angles, explanations, etc. Dude gave you probably $1k worth of piano lessons in 20 minutes. Bravo.

Years of practice has made this man the best! I would love to be able to attain magical skills like this....

i am literally watching this every day and trying to learn from You Jordan, bro. BRO. You are still an inspiration to us all, i hope to rock out like you on stage one day!

One of those guys you hate to see age cause you want him to play forever he’s just the best there is I never tire of listening to him

Jordan is so amazing! His playing is so clean and precise. Such an awesome player

some people are better at what they do than others and these guys are on the top of the list

It’s rare to see someone who has truly mastered something. I hope i’m as good at something like he is it the piano before I die.
