I would like to know more about the sound. I find this sound very interesting: a piano sound that has more overtones than any piano I've ever heard (acoustic or electronic), yet at the same time, it does not sound overly harsh (as would normally be expected), because it successfully blends in with the choir sound. Very interesting. Another poster said this is a "Roland G8". I just looked it up and it's thousands of dollars. Is there any cheaper way to get such a sound?

this is one of wakeman's best, and you played it so beautifully. it is amazing! what are your recording equipment?

[bubblabu]

Thank you.

I'm running a line from the aux out from my mixing board to a 5 year old (outdated) Sony DVD camcorder. The Sony has a tendancy to overcompress the signal, but I don't want to spend the money for aynthing else right now.

[surfeitmusic]

I see. I wish I had my own com to record stuff.. then I would get a mic. lol.

[kirkmach32]

Wrong key!

[bubblabu]

Thanks for your comment.

All I can tell you is it's in the same key as the CD I played with as I was learning it.

God Bless America!

Another great interpretation Chris. I don't yet have "White Rock" so now you've got me surfing youtube checking out the Wakeman/White Rock stuff. I might just have to pick that one up.

Anyway, man, you have a great ear! I'd love to be able to learn tunes that way. "Mary Had a Little Lamb", "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"...... maybe. Rick Wakeman compositions?....Not this week brother! :>)

Thanks for the great vids. You're an inspiration.

[bubblabu]

Thank you.

White Rick is available at Amazon, but it's very expensive. Last I checked, $59. It used to be listed around $600 (No Earthly Connection used to be that high too). Anything beyond $30 seems crazy to me. Even $30 is crazy. I may just get crazy one day and buy it, 'cause my vinyl LP is so thrashed, it would take too much filtering to convert to a MP3.

Anyway - thank you again for the compliments. I like your stuff alot too and look forward to new posts from you.

Stunning, excelent performance man, I had forgotten this song, and it's awesome

[WakemanFan90]

!!! This is amazing, i wish i could play like that!!, is it learned by ear or sheet music?

ive been trying to learn Wakeman pieces by ear, for a while, but its hard, this is truly inspirational.

Keep it coming!

Cheers from Norway!
