  • Does any1 knw how to set up them crazy sounds that mike bereal uses on da motif I wud luv to hve them...

  • I love the carefree leave me alone type face he has while playing ..I enjoyed this so so so very much

  • soon as he start..."Man,I suck..."

  • Those dislikes are the work of the Devil

  • @skyron19 That's a bit extreme don't you think? Just because someone doesn't like something you call them the work of the Devil? So if someone disagrees with your philosophy they are from the Devil?

  • @sab0nes lol sorry man...no offence, I was just joking around wasn't supposed to be taken so seriously!

  • is there a way to transcribe this?????!!!!! cuz ive seen some other cat do this..

  • Dude is smooth

    ...

  • That's it!!! Welp, i'm going back to the drums...

  • @sellerm1 hahahah man don't give up. But I can still see how you feel.

  • @sellerm1 loll really.....well then, i hope u have fun watchin Tony Royster loll

  • wow ur amazing!!!

  • Public Service Announcement: Those Six dislikes are just from people who press the dislike to piss us off. They clearly know that there is nothing to dislike about the video, the just love seeing the drama and comments it produces :) 

  • At 4:13, he just can't let it go. Sounds good though.

  • is dem 6 ppl haters of sickness

  • What if people could've steal people's fingers....he better be giving thanks with these fingers...

  • 6 people DON'T give thanks!!!

  • Mike is awesome I have his videos him in Jason are skillful

  • Six people disliked this... Huh?!!! Gotta be kidding me.

  • If I tried to play like this I'd break several fingers...lol

  • 4:04 is just monstrous

  • I've watched this a thousand times... im tryna pick up how he makes his playin sounds different than anybody else... sadly i wanna jus trew away my keyboard...

  • He is so fluid!! So sick!!!

  • man i absolute luv mike b playing his style is like no other i pray u get another tutorial wit him god bless!!!!

  • Actually he's playing in C# and the original is in Bb. @jboyd70, but that doesnt matter lol

  • The ones who dislike this video are evidently jealous, or they don't have ears!!...

  • Hey there "Hear and Play" this is Yaahn Hunter Jr. Mike B is Literally My ALL TIME Gospel Keyboardist. I have yet to actually meet him and talk to him. He's the reason (along with God Blessing with an ear for it) I began playing keys. Mike has the most unique style of playing Gospel Music. I sure hope one day I'll meet Mike! Until then keep up the work and may God bless you!

    Yaahn Hunter Jr.

  • Mike Bereal You Rock! Love Ya!

  • Praise God... I rocked all New Years Day 2011. GOD is so fresh and clean like this arrangement.

  • man how did he make the keyboard sing like that

  • looooool that someone would even try to say anything negative about one of the best, most accomplished and most humble gospel musicians out there...some people need some serious prayer boyyy, I'm actually shocked....this is MIKE BEREAL!!!

  • @MasterPianoGuy was someone actually trying to say something negative.....what can they possibly say? That he's showing off?.....if so he has all right to do so if that were the case!! Clearly, you can see this guy isn't even thinking about what he's doing so much as just enjoying it! You're absolutely right, we just need to pray for people....as for the 6 ppl who dislike it, well...I have nothing to say on the matter!

  • Hearandplay God has blessed you to be a blessing! I strive to follow your example of cutting a path! You are much appreciated! Your humility, humor, and excellence goes a long way.

  • do u mind breaking down that groove u did with oh give thnks??

  • he just does what practicing does to you. lol

  • did you have someone play the bass for you?

  • Hallujahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Mike B is anointed. U can't touch GOD'S anointed! Be Blessed!

  • THis dude is mad DOPE! I wish I could play like him and all the blessed and gifted pianist/organist

  • KILLING!

  • FJPolk mus be a jack not see all these vids on here wit him on there......do ur history on Mike bro

  • Hey everybody, no need to be nasty. It's evident that the minister has no idea who Mike is or that he and Jason White where the original musicians on this song. And you are correct, Mike can play in every Key on the board and at a level most can't even come close to. My advise to the minister is know your history before making uninformed comments. God bless!

  • FJPOLK

    Perhaps you should re-examine your references as well as your music theory.

    Observation #1: This song is in fact in C# and not E-flat as you stated

    Observation #2: That is EXACTLY the key that Mike is playing it in on this video clip

    Observation #3: Mike Bereal is one of the most well rounded, respected, talented, gifted, world-renowned musicians of this era. Be careful that you know what you speak BEFORE you speak it! Reference Proverbs 4:7 my brother. Be blessed

  • FJPOLK are your sure your a minister? You really don't kno who this is, just google Mike Bereal first and then you can come back and comment this video. Check out his references while at it... and you must be doo doo anyway bcuz I've neva heard of you

  • fjpolk u are a hater.... I dont matter what key a person can or cannot play, I bet u can play nowhere like this, this man i helping other people out so if u are a minister stop being a hater, I would not want to hear u preach...with your hating ass......

  • Comment removed

  • do you not realize this is the guy who plays this song on the record? he plays in every key. he can pick any key he wants. research him before you talk.

  • @hearandplay aint even gotta research, neither did i have ta no that his the one on the original track ta give him respect.... Anointed definitely!!!!!!!

  • @hearandplay I'm pretty sure that was Jason White playing keys on that recording

  • @trapped12 mike played organ. But they switch alot too

  • I wanna know if you have any videos on here that we can critique. Please say yes.

  • man mike bereal is the person you hear playing on the record dude. he is a master musician

  • Actually its Jason white who you hear on keys on the orignal but Mike is playing organ and synth on the original

  • Welll, that was back a few years ago, now mike is the man on main keys, and not only that he has also produced alot of albums tooo.................He's not jest limited to organ and synth, he killls on bass.

  • @Smooth4Days and kit too

  • and drums

  • @fjpolk lol dang these people on here was killin u hahahaha. U cant talk about Mike Bereal. He gets too much respect. He's not cocky like some musicians and will help. I've talked to him and errthang. He cool. He played the song on the CD. If i were u i jus wouldnt comment or look at anymore videos on youtube if u hating on a gift. He did nothin to u man. He aint even heard of u. Nobody has

  • Wow, Mr. Bereal indeed you're blessed among those who seek him first. This is great.. I enjoy it very much.

    God Bless you and the entire Hear&Play family ministery.

    JoshuaandRick

  • Mike, no c'mon man! This is so Anointed! I jumped out of my seat!!!!!!!!!! I thank God for you. Now, can you give a tutorial on this and slow it down for a preacher trying to learn? LoL..........God bless you MIke... Do you have any intermediate videos? I must learn........To God be the glory!!!!!!!!

  • this guy can play, so all you haters out there just suck it up. go mike.

  • Mike Bereal is my overall favorite pianist/organist, along with Jason White, Kevin Bond, David Smith, and Derek Jackson! but as much as i enjoy hearing these kats play, i don't wanna play like them, for the simple truth that God gave me my own style for a purpose! now i will definitely take certain things each one of them do and apply it to my knowledge to further enhance my style, but the world doesn't need anotha Mike Bereal, it needs Me, as well as You!

  • I Totally Agree!

  • My dvd is on the way!!!! I should get it any day now!!

  • playing like this will get you paid, for everybody who's never played before please shut up lol. everything hes doing actually fits the song, a lot of guys just play all kinds of stuff all over top of the song when they shed, but when it comes to the session they dont have things they can play to color the song. mikes been in c sharp this whole video and he didnt do one lick twice.

  • To those downin this Vid....I wanna see ur videos i wanna see ya'll rip fat chords and rifs and runs.....Im sure u can't because any true musician wit an annointing and Musciial sense appreciates his taste of playin this song....Especially because the normal way is SSSSOOOOOO Repetitive thankz Mike...

    To Haterz Be BLESSED SONZ...love DAD

  • This is Good stuff and im sure aemeill knows whats hes talkin about check out some of his videos and you see just what im talkin about!! Type in "Izzy In Awe Of You" And youll find him as one of the videos that plays that song and also check out Izzy if you never heard of him That song is crazy!!!!!

  • dat boi be jammon...

  • hmmmm....sounds like a jam session!

  • colorful

  • One more thing, thomjz you can go get some old Bob james albums if you want this type of sound in your playin""

  • This is the new offering cut fa-show.

  • Now to play like mike hear is what you have to do. First pray and then listen to Jazz/Gospel/Funk everyday and practice you but off and then pray again and the some day you might i say you might play like Mike

  • dont forget fasting also then pray again after that...go through the same process everyday for 5 yrs.. hopefully after that you'll at least be able to figure out his licks and stuff...P.S i didnt guarantee that you'll play like him..

  • Mikey bad like that. Fonkay, fonkay cold medina. I just can't touch him.

  • The supreme sickness of this is...WOW!

  • just when you think you was gettin close someone shows you some more stuff.. thank you.. practice time.

  • 4:43-5:00....YESSIR plenty of OIL in those changes brotha!

  • I've been playing piano for years and no amount training or practice will make me able to play like that, God has truly bless him and the rest of the crew members of hear and play. I truly feel bless learning these chord progression. God bless!

  • Not true. You can do all things thru Christ. Listen to Jazz/Gospel/Funk. Its all there.

  • r u serious...if u practice the right stuff, playin like that will just come natural...but yea he is a blessed person!

  • God doesn't give everyone the same talents. The majority of us at the tiptop of our game will not rock this like this. That's why I thank Him for what He gave me.

  • bass playa killin

  • Lord have mercy! Love it!love it ! love it!I must learn to playmusic like this

  • i wonder why this wasnt on the dvd?

  • who u telln i ws highly dissapointed lol

  • To Bro.Marshall. The Bible says that we are destroyed because we lack knowledge! I simply said that it was nice because Db is my favorite key also and it was tight. So when you think about a hater take the mirror and look at it. Youre not mad at me, its the annointing that you're after.I'll continue to pray for u.God Bless.

  • I got this clip on MySpace but I still can't get enough of it so I come back here just to listen again. Why is this SO TIGHT!?! Man!! I love it! This is a neck noddin groove!

  • O MY GOODNESS...never heard this played like that before....

  • Yeah.!!! This is Nice!!! In Db.

  • You sound like a hater..... he just played it in this key because this is the key "MOST" of "US" play in, which is a crying shame. When you hear someone play like this, you know they can play in ANY key!! Can you do it? Thank you!

  • Dang! i dont think he/she meant it like that, lol... just enjoy the clip

  • Lord, I thank you that I play like this, in Jesus name. Amen

  • is he using a motif keyboard

  • he is using vintagecase on motif

  • so a vintage motif.... ok

  • sweet!!

  • the flavor is aaaallll over this, brother. tasty, tasty, tsasty! - marcoNuovo

  • Good gracious sakes......

  • SICK!!!!

  • Oh My...Thats all i can say

    the the guy on the keyz is killin'

  • the little riff he has at 2-50...i dunno about it but i love it

  • Listen i just want to know, what did he do to get to this level of playing, study classical piano? practice 8hrs a day? run scales? study theory? What?????? other than simply watching

    this clip...i want to know the steps to playing like this.

  • Mike has been playing since a child...the keys his claim to fame; but he also plays bass, drums...the whole family is musical. We love him at West A!

  • oh yeah, u best believe i am studyin it.
