[xXargumentzXx]

[sallydboy]

i saw the the title up to "SPEED" and before i clicked it i was like "i bet jordan rudess is better than this guy" :D

[jesperstolk]

[GETSRED]

his great fast keyboard playing turned him into a hairless man

[MrSunnyboy1999]

What's up with all this ,, he must be an asian " jokes.

[doom705]

[wietified]

[P3T3RIllegal]

I heard this from the other room, and thought it was my brother on guitar O.o

[Yanko0n0Chip]

This dude should play Gunz Online

[guillezgz95]

VIVA ESPAÑA !!

[Eagle030595]

This song is nice to hear but this isn't anything super super fast. It can be done with practice. Your talent for playing fast and accurate will sneak in when it comes to how much time you'll need to play this well.

[MurrayVI]

75 can play faster than him !! including me

[radstorm]

Wish I had his talent..and about 5 million dollars for the hardware / software also :|

[gfksteam]

Chuck norris jokes aren't funny.

[wowgabber123]

CHUCK NORRIS CAN PLAY 74 PIANO'S A SECOND

[shankpeterman]

lolz all white keys.

[zheyy]

hands are dancing a flamingo on the keyboard :)

[namenlos40]

@zheyy

flamingo?

[peterkrollig]

so fast it puts the a/v out of sync, awesome

[codecryptic57]

still.. 1900 !

[Icyguy5438]

Chuck Norris regards this man as a equal.

[silverslater08]

Dude u rock

[TheObviousTruths]

not even asian!

[megawtfmusic]

genius

[UkraineYamaha]

where is the Aaaaahhhhh coming from?

[Barraclough98]

nope. I still say Rick Wakeman! ;)

[Darknight6606]

@Barraclough98 Rick wakeman is amazing, yes ftw

[xMissQueenOfHeartsx]

Somewhere in his genes, must be an asian.

[Darkspyyy]

lol I was going to write "Jordan Rudess is way faster than this guy!". x-D Oh... It's him.

[86akhilgupta]

@Darkspyyy I was about to do that too :)

[inthismoment97]

Starting at 0:25, it begins to sound like a song from a Dragon Ball Z game I used to play :)

[Flextaa]

*Insert Asian comment here." Oh wait his not Asian.

[monkeydluffypvp]

what a noob, Ronald Jenkees is WAY better

[DummkopfRadar]

terrible sounds

[VDragon54]

listen to symphony x then talk to me

[Xiphosss]

Ask him to play on a grand piano, not a keyboard, lol.

[0229MUSIC]

watch michel camilo



[sexypoetry]

I WOULD LIKE TO JOIN OR START THE POLE SHIFT SURVIVAL GROUP

[sexypoetry]

lot of this staff is pre-recorded...i wonder if any significant difference would occur is his playing was also pre-recorded? and i wonder how many idiots on earth think that music is sport?

[SpearM3064]

@sexypoetry Your guess is as good as mine. Believe it or not, some people apparently think CHESS is a sport. (I wish I were joking. The Olympics Committee has had to reject adding Chess to the Olympics at least twice.)

[sexypoetry]

@SpearM3064 i actually like chess and, for example, swimming, more than quasi-art that measures the "speed" of the performer, though, good playing technic really is beneficial to TALENTED artist...playing speed is nothing per se, but surely cant do harm to TALENTED artist.

[yasherss]

Adnan Sami is faster..

[dariusmidi]

Miki Cortan (Mickey Chorthann) plays faster.

[StupidUsername1243]

Stop with the Chuck Norris stuff, it's kind of lame.

[MrSCORPIO1470]

Let's face it, Chuck Norris can't do this

[warriorthunderstar]

@HumtheGiant oh! he can also do that with his dick :D

[napicol123]

I'm Spaniard, this guy is a good pianist, But He Knows Nothing About flamenco.

[warriorthunderstar]

Chuck Norris can do this with his NOSE

[amitraj4499000]

bhai kabhi adnan sami ko suno, keyboard bajana chhod doge.

[epoctrates]

damn good music too

[ehoc42]

i can play faster

[RediForKing]

that doesn't count it's jordan

[binyam73]

ur reflexes are and quickness are amazing

[MrDeylen07]

Probably not the fastest thing played on piano / keyboard, but Rudess would DEFINITELY be, without a doubt, the holder of that title....

[dannievasco]

jewish isn't a ethnicity... just so you guys know

[Vesivian]

[Magnificent2Bastardz]

[JonRob2109]

Thats so good. It is a keyboard though, I'd like to see the guy play on a piano with action though.

[Krill3Z]

[RivasNorwing]

[mroldiesman1]

[TheBob0312]

I thought it was Chuck Norris who was the fastest, but this guy is also pretty amazing.

[TheSkyline001]

the voice is amazing

[Di4762]

Rick Wakeman is the fastest keyboard player in the world

[deathmetalguitaristx]

@Di4762 check out his actual piano solos with DT those are mazing and yes wakeman is phenominal

[rockdude2702]

this belongs in a zelda game. Gerudo desert anyone?

[Marius1988Roma]

@rockdude2702 Gerudo's Valley theme song.... oh man i love it!!! But this is not it =)

[MrJeredriq]

he cant be the fastest look to watch?v=0_Whp1kWZ8Y

[Wilhiemthe2nd]

Im pretty sure Jordan Beat his own record in A Dramatic Turn of Events XD

[huynhminhtri]

I think I can beat this boozoo with my old Mac classic 2 MB+ 40 MB hard drive and an old loop software named Passport , I bought in 1992 with my cheapMiDi

keyboard ,

The secret is just speed up the damn thing with one finger ( 99 notes per second ) thanks Steve Job !

[Wilhiemthe2nd]

@huynhminhtri i dont think that counts... :P

[frrestyler]

jordan rudess RULES !!!

\-/(O_O)\-/

[Vizeweltmeister45]

Whats the name of this keyboard ?



[danstyle93]

@Vizeweltmeister45 Kurzweil K2600X/S

[Vizeweltmeister45]

@danstyle93

Thank you

[KiwiJuic3]

jordan rudess is his name. HES THE BOSS

[djejyooo]

if hes not asian, he must be jewish.

(he is) -.-

[GreekBassSlayer21]

@djejyooo He Must Be!

[Themightytomm]

@djejyooo are jews good at piano?

[djejyooo]

@Themightytomm this video should answer your question ;D

[ilmatteo95]

@djejyooo Jewish are asian xD

[Adicone16040]

@djejyooo if he is not a jewish ,it must be chuck norris!

[BooVII]

Why hasn't anyone hired Rudess to make a video game soundtrack? If anyone here has played Donkey Kong Country, this music is right up that alley.

[fingerboy18]

This is slow for him. Watch some of his faster stuff if you aren't convinced. He can ACTUALLY get fast playing to sound good.

[MeanMonsta99]

What the fuck with the negative comments,  jealousy is a disease get well soon. Tone. Def. Freaks!

[OZPerpetue]

He is very good and very fast, but I have seen others as fast, like valentina lisitsa, not saying he is bad or slow, but I don't think it really is a world record.

[AwesomeCrazyDude]

lol? there is a greek organ there :p BUZUKI

[DEMON666DRUMMER]

i think at some points in this video he grows 2 extra fingers............. on each hand :P

[swhoneybunny]

ooh this is sexy

[yappertrap]

awesome. like all the other people that can play fast, it lacks feel. just ask stevie ray vahn or david gilmore

[TheMagnificentZianix]

@ProspektOfficial Haha :D bet she enjoyed it tho

[knickspbs13]

i like it :)

is it mexican

[knickspbs13]

i like it :)



[MrWomplord]

Yeah, this doesn't seem legit. in the info it says 'most viewed video on youtube'. lol

[TheJustMusician]

This is a worst music and performance I've ever seen on keyboard. The Player even has no any basic ideas of modes and scales of what hes trying to play.

P.S he is not technical at all neither the notes makes sense at all

[andrewjonesy2V]

@TheJustMusician Look forward to you and him having a keyboard off then. Rather than being jealous don't post anything tit. No basic ideas of modes and scales but he went to Juilliard at 9 yeah.

[TheJustMusician]

I didn't realize that the player was Jordan Rudess..I am not arguing about his technical abilities but still its not an ethnic style playing , it sounds to me like more arpegio exercise than music , [especially ethno style] ethno is much much complex to be played by even very technical player who doesn't know the ethno modes and specifics . In any ethno style you have to be good teoreticaly and practicaly in that particular style. sorry for my English, P.S. not jealous at all .

[Daemon81]

@TheJustMusician "I didn't realize that the player was Jordan Rudess.." omfg.. the video title clearly states it's Jordan Rudess! how blind can you be? -.- And all of a sudden you think he's technical now that u know his name.. pfft.. just another great example of a troll who don't know what the hell he's talking about..

[TheJustMusician]

@Daemon81 You don't understand what I am talking about, if to speak honestly first of all here there is nothing technical second , I ment he is technical player generally, but not in this type of styles, and third you are a troll and stuped because you started to cross the line of upropreit conversation. My English is bad, but its my SECOND FOREIGN language, and I have two solid degrees in different type of musics from different countries.

[Daemon81]

@TheJustMusician Ok now let me quote you "he is not technical at all neither the notes makes sense at all" ever heard of improvising? you can do it with pretty much every instrument and it doesn't take a scientist to figure out if it doesn't fit the part, just sense of musicality. Secondly arpeggios and such played at this tempo requires certain amount of technique which you clearly stated he doesn't have. Look, I'm not trying to bash you here, just wanted to make some points clear.

[Daemon81]

@TheJustMusician My english is pretty bad aswell as it's my third language and that's why it ain't so easy to explain certain things. Anyways returning to issue Jordan didn't even mention he's trying to play it as it's "meant" to be played but that doesn't necessary mean he can't play like it. Dude i'm not trying to start a war here, it's just that it's so annoying that people here on youtube have such prejudice about others based on 1 video, especially concerning musicians as i'm one aswell.

[Daemon81]

@TheJustMusician To conclude this (ridiculous) argument, isn't it obvious that Jordan demonstrates here his speed more than technicality? So how can you judge him if you don't know the full truth? Considering his background i'll bet my ass that he can play whatever style he wants.

[TheJustMusician]

@Daemon81 thats your right and your ass . I won't bet anything about his abilities of some styles (such as jazz , soul, and NEVER bet for his abilities in any NON WESTERN style. I admit that hi has good education he has been trained well but his not the fastest keyboardist at all and not the the ethno styles are not his SPECIALITY)))..but anyway I prefer to NOT continue this argument because 1. I don't speak that well to bring an arguments . 2. this subject seemed not familiar to you.

[Brasker]

@TheJustMusician Bullshit.

[randy5274]

I'll stick to KEITH EMERSON !

[TripleRhu]

*fastest.

[TripleRhu]

Not even close to the fast.

[TripleRhu]

@TripleRhu wanna see me improvise?

[MultiSynthfreak]

Not bad playing, but not for this title... totally without Velocity, sensitivity , etc....

Music is for hearing, not some kind of gym....

It seems to me like accordion players...not piano feeling 

[goodygoody23]

Dream Theater FTW!!!!

[TheAnkhorus]

Best in the world, period.

[scarletthunder100]

Music is not only speed, remember kids, music is soul.

[Poulmy]

@scarletthunder100 Like if that dude didn't have any soul -___- he's an amazing musician, with tecnique AND soul.

[EpicMarty101]

i can play this with my nose...

no seriously, that's sick!

[Andreas1995ray]

he learns bouzouki!!!!!! haha amazing ,,,,

[shawnpitman]

@CommandoForce Oh my god...

[ronwhite19]

rudess is no dought one of the greatest player ...but no disrespect as far as i concern this is not how guitar sounds...it is only a speed demo...speed is nothing without feelings...in one of his clip he demonstrate indian sitar ...same problem no accent and no feelings.mr rudess is very respectable and qualified musician but he is not G O D.

[MultiSynthfreak]

@ronwhite19 I agree 99% with You, about J.R. playing... We have some Gypsy Serbian keyboard players, who played better , believe me, much more interesting, like jazz-fusion... and those are totally without music school,..and don`t play Kurzweils....they played on some

cheap instruments like yamaha DX 11 ...casio cz 101 etc...

It is sometimes possible to find this on youtube...;)

For my taste : This Jordan Rudess don`t have DINAMIC....like, for example...Keith Jarrett etc...;)

[califforock2000]

official world record keyboard idiot

[SaphirreDragon]

The only Guinness I'll ever get is probably the beer. This is so awesome my brain has trouble analyzing the frequencies.

[vivek1884]

it is not even 10% of d piece by ar rahman's keyboard player Stephen......chech d video serching ar rahman's keyboard player,who is d best keyboard player in asia at present

[lucas74infinity]

its not the world record!

noway!

[HuGoIsMyReALName]

@lucas74infinity shut up jordan rudess is the best

[kaitengiri]

Would you PLEASE stop making "He's not Asian!" jokes EVERY SINGLE FREAKING "world record" video? I thought that wasn't funny 10 videos back when I first saw it.

[atox4e]

@kaitengiri But I mean... He's not...!

[senthereborn]

Jorden Rudess is a God!

I had an eargasm and then crawled into a bed on my ball thinking since I had no more reason to live after hearingf this.

[s2818sa21]

if he can get a guinness... i can !

[videogamescoverftw]

I could only keep that pace for maybe 7 or 8 notes and ive been playing 10 years

[659Ni]

JORDAN RUDESS!!!!!!!!

[LeoNobles]

Not to diss speed at all, but if you want to be impressed and entertained by a keyboard player, try "Incredible and Unique Keyboard Player" which is Nick Stubblefield. He's got plenty of speed but also holds together an entertaining jam you can groove to. And he plays with both hands all the time on different patches. Anyway, just a suggestion as he's my favorite I've found on You Tube.

[LilBlackyT]

I'd Be This fast if i smoked some CRACK!!!!lol

[baronattilas]

μπουζουκι 4 everrr!!!!!!!!



[MusicPeterDK]

Jordan Rudess aka. The king of keyboard!!!!

[mechaspark1]

@MusicPeterDK Actually Ronald Jenkees is. :P

[xuweiwen]

Who has got the record from guinness? I believe its him.

[asapat101200]

rudess

[azroz56]

This guy is fast,but you fellow music lovers have NOT seen or heard of a guy called Adnan Sami!!check him out,you decide who is fastest

[Greekamba]

Theres a Bouzouki sitting there !!! :D :D

[t3hROSHAMBO]

oh.

god.

[KnekkePower]

Holy shit!

What is this!?

Forged in gods very flames!

Do my eyes tell me lies?!

IS THIS FUCKING GUY THIS AMAZING?!?

[1989Hammett]

@KnekkePower Every man who plays with Dream Theater is amazing

[bejamillion2]

@1213trans are you trolling? jordan rudess is quite literally one of the greatest keyboardists/pianists in the world. Come on, he even went to juilliard when he was 9 years old

[BunnyInAGasMask]

@bejamillion2 One of?! Jordan Rudess is probably the best keyboardist ever to have lived.

[bejamillion2]

@BunnyInAGasMask I very well know that. He is my biggest inspiration as a pianist. Just said that so any huge emerson or wakeman fans wouldnt get offended

[roycosing]

he's good with acoustic guitar simulation playing. but he's not adept at bending.
