Vitalij Kuprij, Technical piano demo HD, part 1 of 2

[Turbominchia2]

You scare the shit out of me Vitalij... you're too good man!

[edmega332]

3:45 is so fun to hear, guitar players cannot refrain from arousal

[timearchitecture]

"i have a hangover its killin me" lmao

[SparkShredder]

I finally saw a man from Outer Space....this guy is otherworldly!!! \m/

[rockithoney]

@KvK54 Yngwie would love to be that talented, disciplined and skilled. Vitalij has far more to offer than yngwie on guitar. I like them both, but totally different.

[TheNacionalist]

He was born near Kyiv, Ukraine. ;) Proud of him ;)

Вітання з України !!! ;)

[MerlinofChaos]

@TheNacionalist

slava ukraini :)

[ndroid604]

The Bach Fugue he's playing is Fugue #4 from the Well Tempered Clavier I.

It was hard to find because he's not playing it from the beginning.

[masterkuprij]

@ndroid604 Thank you so much!

Bach = God

VK Rules!

[Drummoturg]

УМНИЦА

[Goatchrist666]

@KvK54 You shouldnt say that or he will kick your ass, he hates malmsteen haha

[Marklar3]

I don't agree with what he says about strengthening your fingers. It's much more effective to learn how to relax the fingers you aren't using, and getting the strength from the upper arm.

[TMUSICIAN]

put this guy and yngwie together on stage... one of them will be dead in the end.

[walkover1]

HE KICKS JORDAN RUDES ASS BUT... I LOVE JORDAN ANYWAYS ...HAHAHAHAHA

[AKJY]

Steinway FTW

[anotherholywar]

my faveroute one is april

[Velocity4000fps]

The malmsteen of the keys!!.

[amato22user]

OMG seeing guys like these one really depresses me -.-

[mayorde18]

@amato22user oh really? look up 'Claire Huangcci feux follets' and get really depressed (a chick playing one of the hardest piano tune ever)

[JoseGabrielDiazPerez]

hes God awesome :D

[SuperReaper93]

what's the name of the intro song? is an improvvisation or is a classical piece?

[MargaritaShamrakov]

THese are really great !

[julneojazz]

I love the passion with which play awakening!!!

[Fate0fTheArt]

one of my favorite Vitalij albums is High Definition with guitarist Greg Howe...Greg's DESTROYS the guitar...

[ChangGang]

@Fate0fTheArt Yep that's my fav album of his. I was quite dissappointed with VK3. Knowing that the mulit-talented Tony MacAlpine was on guitar...I was hoping to see a duo keyboard shredding for one track at least.

[Fate0fTheArt]

vitalij is AWESOME

[divyx]

I've always loved Artension and Vitalij

[BSA2417666]

no beethoven no party!

[LiveSimpIy]

super duper mooper gooper fucking piano genius god

[MrSandmanMetal]

!O.O!

[rujiel17]

Notice how OCD this guy is? Look at how he touches the piano. My dad's a pretty OCD piano player, too..

[SirJamestheIII]

i hope more people begin to appreciate Vitalij. His Chopin work is fantastic. He has technical proficiency to match pollini but he doesn't let technicality go over his head. he blends personality with technicality so well. but most importantly he is an awesome song writer

[BEY0NDWARD]

and yes, i have purchased happily all of his music...

[BEY0NDWARD]

i love this man's personality!

i love this video

[evhgl87]

vitali, i just wanted to say you are a living inspiration for my music playing. i have been playing for 12 years and your ability is earth shaking, theres no words to describe what comes out when you play. an equal to beethoven in my eyes. just wanted to say thank you!

[ivotkl]

¿Cómo se llama la fuga a 5 voces de Bach que toca?

¿Which five voice fugue by Bach does he play?

[TheMetraller999]

he tenido la gran oportunidad de ver a VITALIJ KUPRIJ en vivo en la stazione birra y tengo que decir que me hizo temblar las manos con las introducciones neoclasicas,ecxelentes trabajos de VITALIJ KUPRIJ y participaciones en bandas.

[LiiChinHo]

turned into an advertisement in the end xD

[Teknakill]

The guy can't keep still for one second, he just wants to rip that piano in half!

[moska8215]

que animal, y pensar q no l conocia!!!!!!!!!!

[cheeseme2801]

i cant remember the name of it but theres a piano prince bought and it just looks so crazy. search princes piano. its pretty cool. like a condom from 2056

[losmonjes]

Ojala estuviera la version subtitulada a español de este tutorial... yo tambien soy pianista y tecladista y me gustaria poder entender mas claramente lo que el maestro Vitalij dice en este tutorial...

[gonzal0999]

saludos desde mexico" MAESTRO VITALIJ" vuelva pronto me gusta mucho su interpretacion del estudio revolucionario n12 op.10 de chopin" de uno de sus discos..me recuerda al gran sviatoslav richter y al gran Rubinstein" maestro kuprij me gustaria sacara una version de la apassionata de Beethoven

que este muy bien ,saludos..!...

[gonzal0999]

es uno de los mejores pianistas de hoy en dia y sera recordado siempre como el tal vez mas grande teclista en el metal progresivo recuerdo cuando escuche por primera vez "EXTREME MEASURES" que fue como descubri a este gran musico y supe de su formacion clasica realmente lo admiro ya que yo siempre he amado la gran musica de compositores como BACH o BEETHOVEN CHOPIN LISZT,..Y me gusta el metal progresivo gracias a el

[KronprinzAdam]

Vitalik Kuprij me parece genial!!! ¿Conoces también a Yngwie Malmsteen, el gran guitarrista?

[arpegiosamistikus]

I am a self educated painter.Vitalij's explaining of how to play piano is very helpful.There is lots of similarity between music and painting!

[sirloathsome]

Hahaha, Vitalij smokes pot!!

[cya4evernalways]

rofl xD

[guerreodeluz]

[nelsonhoyerofficial]

[WackoRhailent]

"Mind ahead of the fingers".

Some guitarrists really need to hear this!

[MagicNotes88]

I'm great fan of you, I have all your discography!!! :)

I love your gear too! but in the last presentation you changed the Korg Triton Pro X for a Roland rd 170 XD the Korg is cooler than the Roland in phisical appareance XD

[Surrender2009]
