Jordan Rudess Master Class 

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

simply genius....Jordan Rudess u rules!

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

Jordan already has all the infinity stones in his hands

Absolutely fantastic. Also, a shoe appears at 20:38.

great skills...but I prefered him when he was kurzweil artis in 90s....i had all kurzweil k series model and I had for two years the kronos, simply it doesnt sound same, more outdated samples but Ks have such a noble sound, kronos always sound thin and bidimensional.

Is it just me or am I hearing an "adel mic on piano like sound"?? Listening on laptop speakers which is why it could be an adel.

Jordan is the reason why sometimes dream theater sounds magical

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

This guy is absolutely incredible.

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.

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.

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 RU-vid 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.

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.

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

No more Korg Kronos, what is the next best keyboard???

Kratos playing the piano

0:00 piano performance 3:32 Kronus performance 1 7:08 Kronus performance 2 12:25 C-Board explanation 16:30 C-Board mellow sound performance 18:18 C-Board lead sound explanation 22:22 iPad performance 27:32 piano + Kronus performace 31:47 another performance 39:40 interview . . .

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

One of the best keyboard players in the world.... with him Dream Theater become a fantastic group.

Feeling Boring after some time. too many runs..and same root

Absolutely great! Thanks Jordan, thanks Korg

The goat

Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing this.

100% pure class.

The best pianist that i've seen...

Nothing can substitute grand piano hammer action :)

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

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

Korg page yet plays a Yamaha grand 😂

Jordan is a master !

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!

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

A Cool thing about Jordan is that he is the first person I saw giving keyboard and technology advise on RU-vid…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. You can tell this is old because now seaboard never happened it’s osmose right now…….same fate as seaboard.

Fucking amazing.....

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

Man... That touch sensitive keyboard is just, the coolest instrument !! And I'm a guitarist! I also think J.R. would be the one to take it to heights as well !..

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

Awesome concert and some history... But where's master class???)))

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

His playing is perfect but the sound design on those instruments though... Now that we have MPE the standard sound design sounds so dated to me. I see no reason why digital instruments can't be able to sound as good as acoustic instrument.

Jordan with multiple keyboards on stage??????

que gran honor para el yisus tener el privilegio de tocar con jordan rudess

Incredible Moonchild version!!!! Thanks guys!

Master indeed

If only this guy could write pieces ,like Tony Banks did in the 70´s

대단하고 아름답다 미스터치 무시하고 열정과 진심이 느껴져서 얼마다 위대해지려고 악기광고 하는데 저렇게 팔려고 할까 사줄께 비인간적인 사운드 ㅎㅎㅎ

Did anybody catch the name of the small, wireless keyboard at the end?

Does anybody knows what plugin Jordan plays on iPad? at around 23:00

Such a remarkable human.

I find Dream Theater boring, but this guy is a bona fide genius.

I saw you in the MIM for the Electronic Music section

Everytime he plays he misses a note. He misses the note he'll play next.

What was the last incredible piece on piano? Thanks!

Can you play Bach on the New Instruments?

I liked the video, I would just like to request two things - Activate the caption so that other people from other countries can better follow the video - The name of the support keyboardist in the video description

King Crimson's Moonchild on an I-pad and it's great!

I could listen to you on piano all day Jordan , such a talent, shame the lead fell out of the iPad demo but still a brilliant idea😊

Amazing!

Is Jordan having problems with his back because with every year he seems getting more of a hunch? I hope there's nothing to concern, really love his playing! And awesome Masterclass! Thanks Korg for the upload!

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAAAA...BUEN TECLISTA MUSICO Y COMPOSITOR..CON UN POCO MAS UN GRAN Disc Show Man..Bien animo y vayamos todos con alegrias...dando buenos momentos...

Jordan Ist einfach nur pure Schönheit. Period.

that keyboard sounds fabulous. wow

He just put soul in every keyboard...

He's a musical wizard!

"Explorations" is perfect!!

his beard is like a black-metal logo

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

I used to like Derek Sherinian more, little did I know that this guy redefines a keyboard player entirely. Best adition to DT. I'm convinced that the band WAS what it WAS because of him, JP and MP. All due respect to John Myung. I'd really love different vocals in DT.

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.

Top 1 in the World...

YEAH!!!Great Music!! You Rock!!

Simply wonderful.

Muy bien,de lo mejor como teclista y músico interprete por si solo a un que va equivocado con la evolución y su interpretacion musical en la cual debe de hacerlo como grupo con otros musicos..Mi admiracion por su nivel interactivo y un gran aplauso...Pero YO si voy bien por el camino de la evolución de las cosas como Disc Jockey,Musico,Compositor,Interprete solista de los aparatos musicales modernos y a la hora de compaginarlos mediante MIDI avanzado y la evolución de las musicas modernas haciendo los Direct Sesiones con canciones propias y intrepetandolos en vivo y en directo,tocando,mezclando,combinando,muteando,etc..Mis queridos amigos animo con todas las cosas y vayamos todos con alegrías y felicidades..a bailar todo el mundo...Very good, of the best as a keyboardist and musician, I interpreted by myself a person who is wrong with the evolution and his musical interpretation in which he must do it as a group with other musicians. 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 ..

Amazing .....!!!!

Saw Dregs in bar in Lawrence KS decades ago. stood in front 6 ft. from Steve Morse. Awesome, of course. Someone said welcome our new keyboardist blah blah. Here is this cat with a Kurz, or rwo? (I think) with charts strung everywhere on stage... reading everything madly. I was fixated with him.... so dug in. Wonder if that was JR?

Yamaha in the 80's manufactured many parts for KORG. The M1 keys are from the DX7

the best modern player easily...with the worst ever beard

Where I can find notes for piano, of concerto on 1:22:43 ??

Congratulations to Turkish keyboard player Eren Başbuğ, it is a great chance to be with such a master.

Master keyboardist !

Kraits plays the Kronos

This man is from other univers ...

😎😎😎😍😍😍🎹🎹🎹🎶🎶🎶🎶....

The Johnny Sins of Piano

Must be nice to have perfect pitch... I hate to make excuses, but there would be no limits.

One question I've always had was how does he get his backing tracks to play? Are they coming from his Kronos or something else?

Jordan Rudess is not just a keyboardist . . He's such a talented musician . . He has holy & heavenly fingers . . Amen

What is the name of the song at 7:10?. He is an amazing musician, Jordan is the best!!!

he is einstein in music

jordan piano or througt

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

The Seaboard was really neat. I was wondering what those were when I saw NeonVines play one.

What is the concert in 1:22:43 ?

.... Conry Henry também... tem um feeling massa porém são estilos diferrentes

So, the seaboard basically is like a continuum, but easier to play

King rudess ❤

The game is end
