[ladiesmn54]

well done. Hope you go even further. bless your piano playing.

[PunKarmus]

that didn't feel like 3.40 minutes at all D: so good....

[mistersusan1471]

HAHAHAHAHA! WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THIS? XD Some people crack me up. It doesn't get much better than this

[dreamtheater1500]

jordan in my OPINION the best pianist he always, I'm very sick with this guy there, I play against low, more love the piano because of jordan, love dream theater, the more I have to admit that Jordan quit the band some day, will not be the same thing to me the dream theater, and the band will not be the same ................

[sunnylee84]

Jordan Rudess wins!

[xXAuthorAngelXx]

You're amazing... I don't know how many times I listened to it. <3

[AchiilezTheOne]

An absolute genius. The Mozart of our generation.

[Vizillar2505]

WTF

[werewolfgeorge]

Great Stuff

[freddiethebassist]

It's after watching the expression & the passion you put into your piano playing that makes me wonder why you never take a piano on the road with you with Dream Theater.

[BrolySuperSaiyen]

Beautifull =)

[devoid555]

hail to chopin the younger

[slpeepy]

i hope you to play in France....

[JOEtheHOE28]

[carl13220]

Very good piece of music, Maestro.

[razhul04]

I think under that pink blanket, there is a lying dead beethoven

[aletka3]

The 4 people who disliked this must be tone deaf.

[rainonline1]

One of the few good things in my life are your performances.

Its great! its incredible!

[ronwhite19]

rudess is came from a planet called KEY-PAX.

[cpuser37]

i really cant think of words to decribe this. Divine Beauty i guess... a miracle to the ears. your family are very lucky to be graced by such wonderous sounds for free, and thanks to youtube, so are we.

[0nag4]

oh god, mr, rudess, you are awesome.

[ClassicalGuitar1111]

Pure musicallity!

Love it.

[slpeepy]

merci Jordan, le piano comme j'aime

[malekbr]

@slpeepy That's not french... Sorry

[HolyGK]

@malekbr it is french

[malekbr]

@HolyGK french words, but it doesn't make sens...

[HolyGK]

@malekbr It does, learn french

[slpeepy]

merci jordan, le piano comme j'aime

[devthous]

what song is this?

[Craigomyeggo]

@devthous It's not a prewritten song, it's just random improvisation.

[chuckanmie12]

first time to see jordan singing..

[nikkitytom]

Well you just sold me on the Q3 .... I'm a classical pianist specializing in Baroque and your beautiful crystal clear cascades are the perfect advertisement for this remarkable little video recorder. Just gorgeous playing .... and the feeling of spontaneity is all there. Hope your piano is one of those digital things which has captured this session .... I'd hate to think it's a "one time" only .... write it down, man ....

[pocketfiend36]

After I watched this, I immediately notice that there was no clapping. I was expecting it that much haha.

[rapeli]

Just learn the basic jazz scales and you got this, sry. Talented "fingerist" tho :) love to hear him play

[IgnotusPerIgnotium]

It's so nice when watching Jordan improvising, to get a look of his 'inside' musical process of writing and making songs/ideas.

[welyyt]

Very very nice!!!!gooooooood!!!!

[AlfredoBoGu]

Impossible not to favorite

[christopher9000p]

I swear, if Jordan were a martial artist instead of a musician, he would be going up against Jackie Chan, Chuck Norris, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Tony Ja, Van Damme and Steve Segal and kicking all 7 of their asses at once!

[ionman87]

very Intense playing....I can imagine what you feel when you play. He's not only a good player but he can make people learn his feelings.

[miguelangelosantos]

Awesome Jordan, like always.

[pabloelbeckero]

.

.

Fantastic!!! you're the f***** best man!!!

I´m guitarist, but your album "Rythm of Time" has change my form to perceive the music, really. It´s gave me new perspectives.

Thanks for share your talent and music with the world.

(Sorry, mi english is not very well)

.

[thisiskellen]

we can hear you singing :D i can only wonder what it is you're saying

[benedictguerrero]

OMG! You could measure time and space to the pinpoint with a feeling as heavy as the glass moon!

[hughh20]

Hey Jordan, are you saying words or humming the tune during the improv? Sounds beautiful.

[Patcharapon94]

Jep jordan jordan jordan

[cobhcuchiha]

wirman are best

[PalidFingers]

@cobhcuchiha Different styles... it's hard to say. But I've never seen wirman do stuff like this...

[ClassicalGuitar1111]

Fantastic playing!

[Z3nith555]

that scale from 1:26 to 1:28 blew my mind =')

Nice improv Jordan!!!!

[EvilSkeltos]

Mr.Rogers on acid :D

[agm2004]

wow jordan, this is sooo beautiful

[chunkyostrich]

That piano sounds so good!!!!!!!!!! Really nice improv too!!

[crisdd0302]

@eheister2006 is such an ingonrant

[Hammetallica92]

Amazing ! never seen a better improvisation on any kind of instrument

[eheister2006]

The guy from Dream Theater is better than this amateur

[thecrookinc]

he is the guy from Dream Theater

[willidub1]

@thecrookinc lol nice discovery

[P00TANARA]

@thecrookinc no shit?

[thecrookinc]

@P00TANARA im sure i was responding to someone asking who he was.

[erlendwizard]

obviously u haven't got the sligtest clue of what you'r talkin about :p Jordan Rudess, from dream theater, is one of the, if not the best musician that ever played the instrument. ! all honor to Rudess !

[JoeliF]

hope this comment isn't serious....

[entropiaan]

:D:D

[madeinNorwayAM95]

@eheister2006 This is the guy from Dream Theater you amateur.

[mapurunga123]

Awesome!!! He is the best!!! Very nice improv...

[kigawman]

Beautiful! I'm left speechless...

What's the song's title?

Hey Jordan, I wonder if you could make an studio record of this song with you singing.

[ironwolg]

it's not really a song, it's just him playing semi randomly. he's making it up as he goes, that's what Improv is

[kigawman]

@ironwolg: Improv or not, whatever. It doesn't matter... I like it!

I think it should become a song.

[Slashe50]

The best part is definitely the pink pillow.

Oh, and the piano playing was nice too.

But the PILLOW!

Awesome playing, Jordan xD

[sden1982]

great job

[dannybp9]

awesome man. love the chord choices

[Electric888]

Just discovered you on yt.

You are a great pianist!

Very nice improv.

[MrXorHomer]

Lol he's part of a major band.

[TheRuss70]

Most talented member of Dream Theater in my opinion

[MrXorHomer]

Equally as talented as Petrucci.

[TheRuss70]

The only reason I favor Jordan is because he has been playing longer. John Petrucci does kick major ass though!!!!!

[ironwolg]

i'm a guitar player so i prefer Petrucci lol although JR has got me into keyboards and ipod apps XD

[Slashe50]

If you like him, definitely check out Dream Theater. GREATEST BAND IN EXISTENCE.

[TheRuss70]

I totally agree!!!!

[Andromeda21x]

jordan this is probably one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard from you. thank you for letting us hear this. you've inspired me to play piano and one day i hope to be as good as you. but i know that will never happen so i'll just dream of it. thank you!! =]

[Croketas]

Wow I love that melody at 2:52

[Angstimwelt]

Now, if Jordan doesn't get to have a piano composition on the next Dream Theater album, I'll be surprised. Could be a nice interlude =)

[zeppelin25101980]

@Angstimwelt ha you predicted "far from heaven"

[TatoTox]

i really wish i could make improvs like that..

[PsyckBtu]

Oh My Jordan, you play with such a feeling... this video makes me feel like I'm in your place, playing this supreme song... so wonderful.

You are indeed a Music Master. You have my total respect and admiration.

I love you.

[satyu131089]

this genius has a unique way of playing the piano thats so different from the classical world.....yet it sounds so brilliant...bravo rudess! you're god of prog rock and the proper successor of rick wakeman

[sarangapa]

Jordan you are so spontaneous, that masterpiece is so pure and unique... Congratulations Jordan...

Opeth & Dream Theater the best bands ever!!

Greeting from Mexico!

[Manny1222]

Thank you Jordan for that wonderful music.

[DannyMiami09]

i like the run at 3:04, well cool.

[coimbravivi]

Amazing!

[JRTET21]

dude you're such a beast.

[xorganizationxvx]

If I could play like that I would never stop. Ever.

[JRTET21]

Even if you developed arthritis, or ALS?

[djdochte]

You're passion for music is very inspirational Jordan, Thank you.

[BOOLAURENTIS]

Jordan and Dream Theater as a god!!!!!!

[elpagna]

It's really beutiful, and with your voice it's even better =). You seem to be animated by a magic force and that's all the magic :)

PS: Zoom Q3 video recorder has a very nice quality !

[PhilCollins93]

Wonderful

[TheWindWaker01]

this is better than most things you hear on the radio. and he made it up on the spot.

[xMACx982]

wow. im speech-less. so beautiful.

[benigno41]

wow... the one.. fantastic..

[Digitalman841]

That was the best thing i've heard in a long time! Don't know how you do it JR.

[Tobal1234]

I wish you play with this feeling with DT.

It was awesome. Thanks

[Roleren]

Playing with that much feeling with DT would fail deeply, DT will always be an extremly progressiv metal band, not a jazzband :P

[bittnerchristian]

I started to cry at the end.

[TheLogick]

Amazing. Keep up the good work :)

[gatogordo1990]

Amazing and lovely sound!

[davemustaine999]

John, I lve you as a keyboardist, but you are an even better pianist. For the next album, would you maybe consider doing a strictly piano song such as kevin moore did in Wait for Sleep, or just post one on youtube? This is amazing, by the way.

[DreamTheater1994]

John? You mean Jordan?

[davemustaine999]

Wow. I really did say John didn't I? Lol. Yes, I meant Jordan.

[wannabekunok]

some of the best i've seen of Jordan, the Wizard.

[amaltoadie]

How the hell can anyone say Jordan's playing has no feeling?

[leugimigop]

Sir I love your playin' and the pink thing which you sit on. May I post this video on my facebook account?=)

[LifeStreaming]

as usual that was a terrific improv.. however i think the most interesting part starts at about 2:38

[rodolfostanic]

Man, I love suspended chords...

it sounds beautiful, Jordan!

[jakepollack399]

amazing! this is exactly what i was looking for!

[Petchx]

BEAUTIFUL! Great job! I'm loving the lap steel and EBMM case behind you by the way, rocking music room!

[mariokeyboard]

Amazing song Jordan... By the way I can see your lap steel behind you ;) this improv is very inspiring

[doblr]

man... I love you!!!! hahahahaha

you are my god!!

[SjPedro]

and this is why YOU sir are The Wizard

[Zonataz]

fantastic improv.

[Bastardoom]

That was truly amazing jordan, thank you :)

[elledammers8]

So very lovely... gorgeous <3

[chaveznieves]

pink piano benches FTW

[AdamantVision]

I love the fast bit, the whole second half is spectacular, as is the rest—great stuff! So inspiring! There really can never be enough of your piano work on DT albums, Jordan!

[suchass]

beautiful improv. sounds amazing. i favorited it:)

[mulanovich]

God i just LOVE his impros!

you know what i'd like to see?

A pink floyd piano tribute by Rudess! It would be EPIC

[wandersontoup]

Great improv!!

[Irockman1]

This is a beautiful improv. Only from the best.

[Brehmen2112]

Amazing!!! Thanks for all your art... It's great to be close to you.. Thanks Twitter & You Tube as well.... I've already finish my work day.. your music relax my mind...

[eman1967]

I would love to have dinner with this guy and just talk about music. He is so down to earth. Excellent improv.

[jazzman07]

i do improv aswell on my guitar, the only thing is, i need to learn more scales and chords so i can expand my playing. I would really like to be able to improv over modal interchange.

[fingerboy18]

I would be more concerned with learning how to portray different emotions in different contexts. That is the true meaning of music theory.

[193lespaul]

cool beans
