[MrPianoguy123]

[MetalOnPiano]

Amazing... This is the one thing that I absolutely cannot play for the life of me haha. Nice job!

[yaardeenaaa]

[winaldo79]

god damm beautifull men.....

[Frejus87]

I think this is one of the most difficult keyboard solo ever and if achieve this you are a solid keyboard player!!! Good job!!! I hope one day i could play it

[MoowChair]

Whats the effect that makes that wah-type sound when you move from a low note to high?

[PianoHero1994]

@MoowChair Pretty sure he's using a pitch wheel on the keyboard. Note his left hand sitting on the far left of the keyboard.

[d00jolta]

@MoowChair The effect is called "portamento" on many synthesizers. Aka "glissando" in general music lingo.

[marsarium]

2 mistakes, but it's perfect !! the best cover for this one

thanx

[FullUser]

Intense playing! Keep it up!

[fingerboy18]

I'd be more concerned about the unison hahahahahaha!

[Kahva123]

[Andytheminstrel]

This is my favorite Jordan Rudess solo. Good job!

[chiborib0]

@Andytheminstrel This one's sick, but I think my favorite is the ragtime one from Dance of Eternity.

[dargor79]

Fantastic! I love this keyboard solo and you are very good!

[Louisbass0017]

WOW!! Ur amazing

[VitorMancini]

5*

onde vc arrumou a trilha de bateria??

[granpastreetz]

oh ok. excuse my ignorance. I should have known. lol

[granpastreetz]

By the way...the drums..Is that pre recorded by someone?

[Txiwi]

what? the drums are original track recordings from Mike Portnoy

[ekstramocne]

Hey dude, great playing though. Tell me, where can i get portnoy's drums tracks?

[tylkodobre]

Oh wow, where i can get this drum track?

[d00jolta]

@Txiwi Where did you get the isolated drum track?

[granpastreetz]

That drummer is bad ass too! a little off at times. But Great cover!

[crazyboy32096]

can some1 tell me what kind of keyboard thta is

[Txiwi]

Kurzweil PC1x but the sound is from Roland XV-3080

[unusuallynormal231]

I'm trying to learn this for my high school talent show, i have a year to practice it which should be enough time. i was wondering if i could get some pointers and i'd also like to know how you got the drums by themselves.

[Chinahat242]

VINNIE!

[PreyingMantisMan]

do you have the sheet music for the solo? that is number 1. Number 2, learn really really little chunks (maybe 1 bar) at a time and put them together. Number 3: play REAL FUCKING SLOW to start... maybe 1/20th speed!. Number 4: play along to the track, use a program like Audacity to slow the solo down without changing the pitch (change tempo).

number 5: be prepared to spend many, many hours on it.

good luck, and have fun!!! :)

[themrmustazz]

I love that sound!

[Relsar]

Fucking good job dude!

[glint20]

wow.

[cuadrado333]

you should do a tutorial its very awesome!!!! :D

[mauritogospel]

Wow, genialmente tocado!!! :)

[TylerMansmith1229]

[Q9R42]

Not perfect, but very good (:

[artesano72]

[Louisbass0017]

You are my new god :) How long have you been playing? 3 lives? :P

[Txiwi]

Thanks! About a month, more or less

[PaperSith]

dont lie to us! you just made me not want to give you a compliment!

well... i will anyway... good job!

[BrandNewBriefcase]

your fucking kidding me...

[billejoe56]

@Txiwi A MONTH? O_O

[drewricomakeubu1]

@Txiwi i call bullshit...

[MrChunkyCustard]

@drewricomakeubu1 thats because your a faggot.

this guy is awesome

[metropolis3043]

@Txiwi What?! I hope you mean you've been practising this piece for a month, not playing keyboard in general for a month. But anyway, this was amazing. So accurate.

[alfonsodpn]

@Txiwi i dont belive you D:

[MLGRevon]

im learning this. not even close to how good this is though...

[nik13dt]

great

[atb1248]

What's the name of the patch (sound)?

[Txiwi]

See below

[atb1248]

Thanks, I'm a bit noob today. XD

[jzama85]

holly shit! you're very good!

[johnnythelip]

Literally a couple of mistakes, but definately one of the best versions of this I've seen on youtube! Awesome mate, great video!

[magekanthos]

Did you program the sound yourself? I've been trying to make that lead and have come fairly close but not as good as you. Care to describe how you made the sound?

[Txiwi]

I use Roland XV-3080 Expansion rack, the preset is (PR-B 079) "you and Luck" and I only change the portamento Time to 7.

[Mullenfreek]

how did this get any less than 5 stars? Its probably the best I've heard it other than Rudess himself

[davidmoonie]

Hey i'm just curious, is that a midi controller or just a keyboard. looks like it's all going through your pc :D

[Txiwi]

Is a Kurzweil PC1X keyboard but i´m controlling a Roland XV-3080 Expansion rack with midi I/O. And drums track played by pc. ;) Sorry for my bad english

[davidmoonie]

Thanks :) i have an edirol pcr-800 midi controller which i use through prepellor head Reason 3.0.2 :D

By the way, your English is good

[entershikari21]

you are my god

[Reamblished]

is this dreamtheaters keyboarder or some random guy cuz ur good

[Bartelbe13]

its just a guy but he did a damn near, if not PERFECT cover of it, and I just love the sound of it :D

[dtfan0813]

Dude.... I heard maybe three messy spots.... Thats so insane man!! A million and half stars my friend.

[scratchikken]

is this... sort of... sped up? you know some parts just look like... my arm would break at this speed... i've never filmed my self playing this solo, but do the arms really move that fast? or are you freakin superman?!?

looks sort of unnatural sometimes..

[melankolis04]

i realy like this part !

great..!!

[timmotjo17]

Skills, you have WAAAAAAAAAAY too much skills...

Give me some of your skills.

[Txiwi]

thanks!

[nasicamaschio]

aaaaaarghh!

how do you do?

six staaaaars!

[Bartelbe13]

skills

cool synth

practice

and a hell of a lot of awesomeness I bet xD

[mrteclasN5]

try using the keyboard a lil bit up, its better for your arm, and the sounds too much square, its square+upper octave sawtooth. besides that its awesome, you rock!

[devilgirlpk]

sounds awesome :D

[YYZPilot]

Excellent! Where can I find the sheet music for this? :)

[Algun]

Good one! 5/5

and nice idea for backing track instead of damn midi tracks lol

[jimmywacked]

great job..!!!

[EchoCannon89]

pretty sick technique, that sounds great

[Edkeyz]

Very nice man.

[joneuskadi]

[RoninLviaquez]

[Charrington91]

[stevepaull]

I would do but i got very little downloading space unfortunatley, thanks anyway

[stevepaull]

any chance of posting just the drums from the dvd?

[Txiwi]

Emule: Drumavarium audio :D

[stevepaull]

Nice Job, where did you get the drum track from?

[Txiwi]

from Drumavarium dvd of mike portnoy

[scratchikken]

yeah mackie onyx satellite!!!!

i love it!

and by the way, nice work on the solo

[OsirisGOLAD]

Well done! I think that in this version you can hear that the other instruments really support the solo.

[bobfahrer2]

nice...good work!

[skouradakis]

I'm in terrible need of these sheets

does anyone knows where can i find them?

[strifelaugher]

Great job. Nice.

[monika16k]

OMG, it's very nice! Is it a Kurzweil synth?

[Txiwi]
