I see all these comments replying to EuphoricDan. So I go trawling through all the comments to find it. 11 pages later, I find his comment, here it is:
это ты все знаешь......а смог бы ты так сыграть....будучи им?даже на синтезе?много ты знаешь..но чтото я тебя не видела тут на роликах...так что просто утухни
Ronald this is beautiful mate! I've never seen videos with so many positive responses, so thank you for giving such pleasure to millions of people. YOU ROCK.
i like this guy because he always has a positive attitude and has a giant passion for music and encourages people to have a passion for music also peace
That was fun, realistic guitar fingering too. The old Roland DX7 had the best acoustic guitar I've ever heard (sounded much more like the real thing than any other sample I've tried) - I'd like to hear this with that patch. The problem with most guitar samples is that they typically don't modulate the "pluck" sound (almost an added thump at the beginning of the waveform) along with the key velocity like they should. Even so, this sounds great ... just could be better with the right sample.
Chill. He's just having fun. Do u have something against that? And if u like Ronald Jenkees you would accept he's nerdy face just like millions of people had already...
I love the sound, it has that Spanish Flaminco flavor to it. One of the coolest acoustic guitar music playing in my opinion. Keep up the radical jams Jenkees!
Anyone that contests this Ronald's work: I'd like to see you do better. This guy is a star, and is still on the rise. He doesn't care if he makes a dime, he just enjoys what he does. Ronald Jenkees is one of the kindest musicians I've seen.
I'ld like to see what you can do with a sax or horn instrument. I have had fun playing with those over my beats. All the best. Thanks for makin my ears happy.
ronals i could kick your ass...why this song is neither on your first nor on your second album? should i call you an agoist ? maaaaaaaaaaaaan i want this in a super quali...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW RON....That was soooo awesome man. I closed my eyes and kicked back and truly thought it was a guitar. Very amazing keep it up. I'm sending this link to everybody I know. Your a good man Ron dont let teenagers get you down their just jealous.
ron was rightfully taught by the "chuck norris" of music, he came down from the heavens and said, "jenkees", I will teach you to pwn all tunes ever made, and so the story of the Great Jenkees began. ......to be continued
You would think that this man's music would be bring people together instead of acting like a bunch of meatseeds. Have some respect for Mr. Jenkees because I what his fans say really means a lot, and in case you didn't notice... he's been away now for quite some time without producing any new material. I wonder why...
@EuphoricDan You're truly despicable. You're accusing people of suffering from amusia because they like this kind of music?
You stated your highly educated opinion? Don't make me laugh. Oh wait, you already did. Seeing someone with such a high level of both arrogance and ignorance is surely a rare and unpleasant sight.
If I sunk to your level I'd tell you that The Bad Plus - Prehensile Dream is some of the worst shit I've ever heard, (see continuation)
Btw, RJ, you are freaking amazing. Your music is so siqq ( in a good way ). Continue to make music this great. And again, I am blessed to listen to such great music.
Back off of RJ. Your comments are un-needed. He is just trying to share his music with everyone in the world. There is no such thing as "talent". Be blessed that you can listen to such a catchy tune. Ronald Jenkees is a really good artist overall. Show me an artist that can use that equipment and turn it into catchy tunes for the world to hear.
ok euphoricdan@, sit your educated ass in front of a camera and show us all what you mean! because the "link" you posted to show us "real" music was shit!
just because "jesus" hummed a tune 2000 years ago dont make it a hit when you play it! put up or shut the fuck up,
@EuphoricDan just enjoy music dude. Jenkees and I play music for fun, and you dont need to be all over him. this stuff is here for people who can enjoy watching someone having fun playing music. Step off
Any great musician can play any middle or lower grade instrument, and play something that will sound much better than you. Ronald Jenkee's is evidence of that. His gear is pretty good for his set up. He may not have the funds to buy the best.
If your so good, outshine Ronald in skill, not in equipement. Daddy's piano he bought you means nothing in the end. You can't match his standards.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This is the last time I will make this point. This man's performance might impress drunk people at a party, but to put him in a category of good musicians shows ignorance.
People who have absolutely no musical education might be impressed by this, and that's OK.
People who have degrees in piano performance understand, wholly that this is an embarrassing effort.
ya,, i know a million guys who can play every note ever writin untill you ask them to close the book and play from there own emotions and 90% of them cant even start to express an emotion that wasnt writen by someone else and in a book,
jenkees is honest, hes emotion and you cant teach that,
@EuphoricDan Bitter much? I do have a degree and have been in the business for a looong time, and this man is extremely talented. There is a lot more to music than being able to pull off a Rachmaninoff piece flawlessly. I've known many "real" musicians with schooling who could write a decent song or find an original melody if it bit them in their pompus ass.
Even educated people can have terrible taste. There are actually quite a few people who like a fellow by the name of "Bruce Springsteen". Can you believe that?
People on this channel are better off listening to Gaga than Scelsi. Nothing is wrong with that, it just means you are ignorant hicks.
I am bitter btw. I hear virtuosic musicianship from Ethan Iverson and Matthew Bellamy (at least with absolution) every day. Yet... here is the flock, waiting for more bad music.
Wow..do you even listen to yourself when you talk?
As for Ethan Iverson, have you read his articles or his blogs? If you have I think you must have missed something. I believe that Mr. Iverson would enjoy this and give the guy a pat on the back.
@EuphoricDan Man, you're just a douche tbh. By your logic, people who listen to this music are "ignorant hicks." Your logic is flawed and it would seem you are the ignorant one. You completely waste your time preaching to people about how this is "bad" and how your shit is better. no one's going to listen to you.
@EuphoricDan not to sound like the dead poets society here, but who cares if his music doesnt meet your "virtuosic" standards? people like the sound, so why exactly do you feel the need to show off about your piano performance degrees and bring all this pretentiousness to the table. if being an expert in playing piano leaves me with the arrogant, overly critical attitude you have about music then i hope to stay a novice forever.
@EuphoricDan Hi. I studied music theory. I know what a minor pentatonic is. I also know what a Mixolidian and phrigian scale is. I know what a G#min add9 sounds like. I know that there are three types of minor scales. I know what Bach created a note called H (which is just a Bnat) just so he could spell his name.
What I am getting at, sir, is that I know music. I know what makes music, music. I know the math behind the scales. I also know this guy is freaking good!
@admit1person that thing about the H note is just false, that whole thing started with a drawing mistake of a lowercase b. that is the real story, i should know we actually use this (C-D-E-F-G-A-H-C) here in norway
@EuphoricDan He uses amazing chord progressions as well as chord inversions. He has mastered just about every scale there is. What do you want him to do? Sit down and write a 3 piece movement sonata? Or perhaps a full orchestral composition? Shit man, you do what this guy does! Sit down in front of a piano and show us how a real virtuoso plays.
first of all, this is youtube....no one is making you watch his videos
secondly, if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all....didnt your mother teach you that as a kid?
I think you need to grow up and mind your own business if you dont like this guy's music. and until you put a bunch of videos up of you playing the keyboard/piano and prove what "real" music is, shut your mouth and let us enjoy his music
@EuphoricDan Oh dude! So you have an album out and are making tons of money having fun playing what you love and are extremely popular because of it!? Oh wait... no you're not.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
As far as I am concerned, I may as well be having a musical argument with a rap enthusiast. There is no point, I stated my highly educated opinion. That's all I wanted to do. I have no need to argue about music with those who suffer from idiocracy and amusia.
@EuphoricDan "highly educated opinion" I lol'ed a little inside when you said that. Go make your own music before you judge others. He might not be the best, but before you do something better I'd shut up and not listen to it if you don't like it. Saying someone isn't good really shows just how "highly educated" your opinion is. You don't need to hate on it just because you don't like it. That truly shows just how stupid you are.
@EuphoricDan Typed more stuff... deleted it. Lots of arguments are not worth having.
Maybe my gmail will be fee of hatemail soon. I've made a lot of comments (a whole lot more damning than mine here) over the years among lots of musicians on lots of videos. You are simply the most aggressive and single minded group of fans/video watchers (whatever) that are on Youtube.
Enjoy your guitary keyboardy stuff, really... I mean it.
@EuphoricDan So ignorant about music. Saying shit about other music if it isn't up to "your standards" or if the music doesn't go "your way". Well, lets see you "improvise" You have no proof that you're a "highly educated" musician who can flawlessly play piano. You say you just "listen to others play the piano", not "I play the piano professionally." Upload vids of yourself playing all this, not someone else. Write down comments that are acceptable, not embarassing
@EuphoricDan dude just because you can use big words doesnt mean your highly educated. The epitome of exgroggualating music is bethernestanic more than the comprethinterhine crap that you so higgerboold posess.
see dont i sound just like you? the best part is you cant understand what i just said, i dont blame you, only the "highly educated" would understand it and well, you just dont fit the group.
First of all this: /watch?v=BZBer-pSaLI is extremely slow and boring. And at 5:30 is becomes something short of a retard having a fit while stroking as many keys as possible.
Now the fact that he can manage to thorw himself at his keys and hit them as quickly as possilbe to make something that almost sounds like music is slightly impressive. But this guys talent is short of being called REAL MUSIC or IMPRESSIVE PLAYING. Do us all a favor and dont bother posting here.
@EuphoricDan if you know so much about composing, you should remember the first thing u ve learned the day you started playing. music doesnt have to be complicated as long as it sounds good, this doesnt always require perfect timing or using fitting chords. being experimental and daring enough to try new combinations is what music is about. If everything was played by the book, everything would sound the same unless u would play 500 notes each second. you dont have to be good to make a nice beat
@EuphoricDan LOL i saw all these people hating on EuphoricDan so i went to his comments expecting him to be some random kid that's like "LOL YOU FUCKING SUCK RETARD." but the guy has a right to state his opinion, and if no one had argued with him then this whole argument wouldn't have happened. I love RJ, i think he's an amazing character and his music is fun to listen to. If being "highly educated" means i can't appreciate it, then why would i want that? SHIIIIETTTTTTTTT
@EuphoricDan not gona be a douche and try to start an argument, but the dynamic part is a little bs. Your comparing a keyboard to a grand piano, and you can't control dynamic very wel on an electric keyboard. Also, nothing that guy did in ur vid was as musically impressive/creative/original as what jenkees has put out. Good pianist I guess, but I dint enjoy that other vid at all. Plus there are timing problems with him to. U truly hold ur musicians to a higher standard? Critique better too.
@EuphoricDan wait....did i hear you say timing errors?? how would you know? are you God? didnt think so. just let him play his awesome music man. i bet he can play better than you. i bet i would be way more entertained by RJ's music more than your "i know real music" personality.
this is so wonderful. you're a lovely person :)

@EuphoricDan Man, you're just a douche tbh. By your logic, people who listen to this music are "ignorant hicks." Your logic is flawed and it would seem you are the ignorant one. You completely waste your time preaching to people about how this is "bad" and how your shit is better. no one's going to listen to you.

@EuphoricDan not to sound like the dead poets society here, but who cares if his music doesnt meet your "virtuosic" standards? people like the sound, so why exactly do you feel the need to show off about your piano performance degrees and bring all this pretentiousness to the table. if being an expert in playing piano leaves me with the arrogant, overly critical attitude you have about music then i hope to stay a novice forever.

@EuphoricDan Hi. I studied music theory. I know what a minor pentatonic is. I also know what a Mixolidian and phrigian scale is. I know what a G#min add9 sounds like. I know that there are three types of minor scales. I know what Bach created a note called H (which is just a Bnat) just so he could spell his name.
What I am getting at, sir, is that I know music. I know what makes music, music. I know the math behind the scales. I also know this guy is freaking good!

@admit1person well just thought i should tell you for your future attempts at bragging, Bach did not create the note H.
the reason for the H note is just that people tend to mess up when they write b's.
and that has evolved into the system most of europe use today C D E F G A H C
(they forget to close the bottom.) just thought i'd tell you
carry on

@admit1person that thing about the H note is just false, that whole thing started with a drawing mistake of a lowercase b. that is the real story, i should know we actually use this (C-D-E-F-G-A-H-C) here in norway

@EuphoricDan He uses amazing chord progressions as well as chord inversions. He has mastered just about every scale there is. What do you want him to do? Sit down and write a 3 piece movement sonata? Or perhaps a full orchestral composition? Shit man, you do what this guy does! Sit down in front of a piano and show us how a real virtuoso plays.

@admit1person Mastered every scale? Jesus, so he can play just about any instrument in existence.

first of all, this is youtube....no one is making you watch his videos
secondly, if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all....didnt your mother teach you that as a kid?
I think you need to grow up and mind your own business if you dont like this guy's music. and until you put a bunch of videos up of you playing the keyboard/piano and prove what "real" music is, shut your mouth and let us enjoy his music
not everyone enjoys the same kinds of music

As far as I am concerned, I may as well be having a musical argument with a rap enthusiast. There is no point, I stated my highly educated opinion. That's all I wanted to do. I have no need to argue about music with those who suffer from idiocracy and amusia.
EuphoricDan 1 year ago
@EuphoricDan "highly educated opinion" I lol'ed a little inside when you said that. Go make your own music before you judge others. He might not be the best, but before you do something better I'd shut up and not listen to it if you don't like it. Saying someone isn't good really shows just how "highly educated" your opinion is. You don't need to hate on it just because you don't like it. That truly shows just how stupid you are.

@EuphoricDan Typed more stuff... deleted it. Lots of arguments are not worth having.
Maybe my gmail will be fee of hatemail soon. I've made a lot of comments (a whole lot more damning than mine here) over the years among lots of musicians on lots of videos. You are simply the most aggressive and single minded group of fans/video watchers (whatever) that are on Youtube.
Enjoy your guitary keyboardy stuff, really... I mean it.

@EuphoricDan So ignorant about music. Saying shit about other music if it isn't up to "your standards" or if the music doesn't go "your way". Well, lets see you "improvise" You have no proof that you're a "highly educated" musician who can flawlessly play piano. You say you just "listen to others play the piano", not "I play the piano professionally." Upload vids of yourself playing all this, not someone else. Write down comments that are acceptable, not embarassing

@EuphoricDan dude just because you can use big words doesnt mean your highly educated. The epitome of exgroggualating music is bethernestanic more than the comprethinterhine crap that you so higgerboold posess.
see dont i sound just like you? the best part is you cant understand what i just said, i dont blame you, only the "highly educated" would understand it and well, you just dont fit the group.

@ EuphoricDan
First of all this: /watch?v=BZBer-pSaLI is extremely slow and boring. And at 5:30 is becomes something short of a retard having a fit while stroking as many keys as possible.
Now the fact that he can manage to thorw himself at his keys and hit them as quickly as possilbe to make something that almost sounds like music is slightly impressive. But this guys talent is short of being called REAL MUSIC or IMPRESSIVE PLAYING. Do us all a favor and dont bother posting here.

@EuphoricDan if you know so much about composing, you should remember the first thing u ve learned the day you started playing. music doesnt have to be complicated as long as it sounds good, this doesnt always require perfect timing or using fitting chords. being experimental and daring enough to try new combinations is what music is about. If everything was played by the book, everything would sound the same unless u would play 500 notes each second. you dont have to be good to make a nice beat

@EuphoricDan LOL i saw all these people hating on EuphoricDan so i went to his comments expecting him to be some random kid that's like "LOL YOU FUCKING SUCK RETARD." but the guy has a right to state his opinion, and if no one had argued with him then this whole argument wouldn't have happened. I love RJ, i think he's an amazing character and his music is fun to listen to. If being "highly educated" means i can't appreciate it, then why would i want that? SHIIIIETTTTTTTTT
ilsaslm1024 9 months ago
@EuphoricDan not gona be a douche and try to start an argument, but the dynamic part is a little bs. Your comparing a keyboard to a grand piano, and you can't control dynamic very wel on an electric keyboard. Also, nothing that guy did in ur vid was as musically impressive/creative/original as what jenkees has put out. Good pianist I guess, but I dint enjoy that other vid at all. Plus there are timing problems with him to. U truly hold ur musicians to a higher standard? Critique better too.
JakeDude500 8 months ago
@EuphoricDan wait....did i hear you say timing errors?? how would you know? are you God? didnt think so. just let him play his awesome music man. i bet he can play better than you. i bet i would be way more entertained by RJ's music more than your "i know real music" personality.
i know real music. and Ronald is part of it.
