Hymns

[schmoovetones]

@fmason83, I downloaded the same patch for my ES7 from motifator. Still can't get that sound. Is your power grand edited/modified? Great gift you have!

[singlebrotherjs]

This is beautiful I hope to play like this one day

[jeremiahgyangtv]

this is probably one of the most educational clips i have watched ever! i discovered your channel a few months ago, now i practice an average of 8 hours a day, in my in my studio with your clips as my current sole reference! dude, GOD BLESS YOU!

[hitblockent]

Sweet Bro! Great Touch......

[AllenElton1]

I truly enjoyed this clip... man less is more and I appreciate the simplicity of this!!!! If you layered the sounds it would sound crazy good

[talentedmusician96]

I enjoy great pianists especially when they are as humble as you. Its really refreshing to see talented musicians that arent cocky and arrogant with the gift God gave them. Keep playing!!! By the way I could listen to this recording all day everyday.

[11Speaks]

I enjoy your gift! I enjoy your humility too. I am officially one of your blessed youtube understudies :) I thank you!

[egonza2007]

Can you tell me about the stand you have for the computer and the piano at the same time? it's nice... Excellent hymns..

[cross805]

You've got some mitts, Yo!!! What a gift!! Blessings...

[andreluxury]

wow. this is good. may God continue to bless you

[2030Kev]

What's a duet?... & How does it affect the playing or help in playing & your computer?...

[fmason83]

@2030Kev It's an audio interface. It's how I recorded the sound from my keyboard into my computer.

[kobikyramya]

May God bless you. This video really inspired me

[jumpoff6684]

Good to see a fellow SDA musician. Thanks posting one of our most important elements musicians don't focus on. I give you props for keeping the melody and reharmonizing these songs. Most guys like myself included jazz up these songs with no one recognizing the tune. You gotta share some tips! The passing chords got me making ugly faces!

[keysey20]

IVE BEEN A FAN FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW IM ALSO A DEDICATED SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST MUSICIAN. I WOUDL SAYI AM AT THE INTERMEDIATE LEVEL WANAN GO ADVANCE NOW. YOUR PASSING CHORD R GREAT PLZ SHARE

[Hankandthetanktops]

[fmason83]

Praise God.

[tshepomotif]

Beatiful chords Bru, like always, i Like your touch, can you please do a "Tis so Sweet" breakdown. pleeez.

[sabiamah]

You have amazing sound and feeling there. How do you arrange these hymns? Sounds like they are little bit jazz arranged. Do you have any book or is it just your work?

Thank you so much!!!

[fmason83]

@sabiamah

Thanks a lot. No special arrangement or anything. I really just sat down and started playing. What you hear here is just what happened to come out at the time.

[AMUSIK17]

what church do you go to, or whats the one that you're playing at? my man, this is amazing.

[fmason83]

@AMUSIK17

Campostella Heights SDA and St. John AME both in Norfolk, VA.

[praisethelord20]

@fmason83 dude you live 2 hours away. I plan to move to Richmond with my aunt in the spring. But, she gotta talk it over first. But, continue playing under the unction!

[ripocas]

This is heavenly stuff!!!

[fmason83]

@ripocas

Praise God

[adamsbatt25]

I'm speechless, I guess less is more. That was great! I'm sorry you were feeling down, but I sure couldn't tell by the way you played.

[fmason83]

@adamsbatt25

I'm a minimalist in my playing. But thanks. I may have not sounded down, but you should have seen my face. STRAIGHT PUPPY DOG!!! LOL

[adamsbatt25]

@fmason83 I would say I'm a "minimalist" too, but I am not even half as skilled as you are... It's my own fault though... I never really take the time out to practice.

[Saxgregg]

I so enjoyed the way you played these hymns, they still sounds like hymns. Would you consider doing Because He lives, Near the Cross, There is a fountain, Holy, Holy,Holy, Doxology? It's refreshing to hear someone who can still play hymns. Blessing upon you, thanks.

[b3organman1]

Play, Play, Play...man I enjoyed this. Contemporary, yet I can still recognize the song. Awesome!

[dmajormusic]

Hey Fred, I really needed to hear this. I've been going through and there's nothing like the Hymns being played (like you played them) to help clam your spirit. Thank You and God's Continued Blessing on you Brother................You're A Blessing to the Body of Christ.

[RTmoffett]

Wonderful.... PERIOD! I would love to hear that melody done on a Hammond when you have time or any melody!!! Thanks....

[samsneeze08]

Beautiful...please do a tuitorial....

[rayjohnson83]

YES SIR!!!!!! Man, I'm still trying to be like you when I grow up. Now you gotta break ALL of that down...lol

[MEZIIDAVID]

WHo is this playong very impressed remind me of jason white a name please

[Aarondrummerboyhenry]

Blessed bro, my favorite keyboard player hands down hit me up some time, hope you fill out my request if you aren't to busy.

[luchu18]

Keep em coming, that was nice, I can learn just by listening!

[fmason83]

@luchu18

That's the goal.  More hymns will be up hopefully by the end of the week.

[Mp4playerz]

May I have a song list please, in order if possible I'm inspired.

[fmason83]

@Mp4playerz

I just added it to the info. I'll post the lyrics later. But you should be able to look them up.

[Mp4playerz]

You're blessed bro, you understand gospel music and you aren't to caught up into the new stuff to go back to traditional hymns a true example of a good musician.

[musicianrf]

My brother, this is just pure worship, and it's heartening to see that there are still some young musicians who know the hymns. Stay in the flow of worship, and may you continue to be the conduit of true worship. (",)

[AGpraise]

You make it look so easy Sir. Beautiful Doc!

I Have Decided To Follow Jesus - AWESOME CHOICE in life and in music

Stay Blessed!

[GospelMusicians]

That Apogee Duet is a beautiful piece of equipment!....And of course Logic and Mainstage!

[robgotchords]

Nice dude

[71letitbe45]

man what can i say...this is beasting for sure. u gotta let me know what patch you're doc, please

[fmason83]

@71letitbe45

Thanks a lot. It's the "powergrand" piano sound on the Motif classic. It isn't on the ES. I try to always list the complete specs of my videos in the more info section. But it's kinda hard to find since this last youtube makeover.

[71letitbe45]

@fmason83 great, i will definately try and get the refill. thanks again

[phillytalented]

Man this was really touching. Your a beast and you play with great understanding of the keyboard but better, the songs. keep it up and ALWAYS keep God first

[thomassan17]

Hey man....what is that small gray unit on the left attached to your computer, and what is it for?

[fmason83]

@thomassan17

It's an Apogee Duet audio interface. My motif's l/r outputs are connected to the instrument 1 & 2 inputs to record in stereo. it's connected to the mac via firewire to record into Logic. A lot of people use protools and the MBox 2. Same idea...

[praisethelord20]

2:40....wow

[fmason83]

@praisethelord20

Descending Eb harmonic minor scale. The typical ascending Eb harmonic minor scale is Eb F Gb Ab Bb Cb (B) D Eb. I played it going downwards starting on from Bb Cb Bb then on down. Fingering from the Bb down is easiest if you go 4-3-2-1-3-2-1. (I hope that makes sense)

Left hand chord was a Bb7#9 (minus the Bb)...D-Ab-Db. Which could have easily been a Bb7b9 (diminished voicing).

[praisethelord20]

@fmason83 I absolutely late but yes it does.

[vralex02]

Great Video!!!

[sweetmelody5]

Freeeeddddddd!!!! You already know I'm still waiting on my lessons.....btw this is Karen Poole.
