[JAKEHARRIS281]

Youtube Ryan Sutton Piano. He recorded some excellent songs using this X8.

[orpedal]

Just found this amazing version.awsome playing and harmonic construction.

God bless the player!

[yaboichi]

wats type of keyboard is better for a performing church musician ?

Roland, Yamaha, or Korg? To me, Yamaha has the best soundn Pianos, Rolands are good too, but Korg pianos just suck.

[behemothmaniac]

that will be really pretty on a Hammond B3, but your "piano version" is beautifull :3

[wandersonfcastro]

keep bangin' brotha, any way you soumd awesome.

[DietaFinal]

Great performance! good improvisation and feeling.

A really good version of Amazing Grace.

God Bless you.

[Joeey]

[utravez]

[getmeacheezecakeplz]

Hey man nice playing maybe you could teach me some time. Um, do you have any problems with the Fantom X freezing?

[wineaux1988]

by GOD!! HUGS AND BLESSINGS TO U

[TheQuestian]

Also, ebufford, I love your playing. Some really great sounding ornaments. I especially love the Ray Charles-esque walk down at 00:52. God bless.

[iamnick2k3]

I am a Youth Choir and Music Ministry Director at the age of 18 and I have saved up many to buy a workstation/keyboard. I can't decide between the Yamaha Motif XS and the Roland Fantom you are playing. Any suggestions for this music minister?

[JayB10101]

i prefer the Roland Fantom X8

[Kidlife619]

roland fantom x8 man one of rolands best defintly not as good as yamaha motif xs no doubt about it i used to play one one of the best keyboards i ever played!!! (the roland not yamaha)

[mattsmusicstudio]

Roland Fantom X8. I tried both the XS and the Fantom X8, and the Fantom X8 was what I went with.

[ebufford]

I had a hard choice too when I finally had the money but since I love piano more I went with the Roland Fantom X8. Now i added the Korg TR for going out on small music dates. It was under $1000 and sounds good! I wanted a Hammond/Leslie sound and the Korg TR for the price sounded better then the MM6.

[Denvermorgan2000]

I went with the roland fantom too ezra its the best sounding piano i ever heard when i heard you playing amazing grace on the fantom i had to go see and play it then i was sold.

[yaboichi]

@ebufford i agree da MM6 got terrible organ sounds

[pmciver2]

Thanks for the words of encouragement. Please keep me in your prayers. I work 2 jobs, and don't have much time to practice. As you probally have experienced, people are slacking from coming to choir practice, and you wonder if it's even worth it, but as the song writer say's "I'll Go if I have to go by myself" Amen!

[pmciver2]

Each time I listen to this peace, it really blesses me. I just love your style of playing. You know how to add little runs, and things to make a remarkable sounds that just amaze me. It lets me know that If I want to be half as good, I really have to practice more. Thanks for being a inspiration to me.

[ebufford]

Bless you PM. May the Lord go with you when you practice for it will be alright!

[Gradius0]

lol, compared to my pc this thing sounds like a TOY (no kidding).

[TheQuestian]

A YouTube video is not the place to judge sound quality. I'm hoping you're aware of that. As a classical pianist for 12 years, I can honestly say this board is closest thing to authentic I've ever heard in person (to include software instruments).

[Gradius0]

I'm very aware of "youtube quality". But is impossible to beat Ivory Italy (PC), compared to that, this thing IS a toy!

[jordanmencel]

soo beautiful! you have talent

[mattsmusicstudio]

This is Awesome!!! God Bless, Nice keyboard, I'm getting one just like it in a few days. You really make this thing sing!!

[ManuelLogan]

Yes, relaxing playing. You know I just take my homework and make it while listen to this peaceful music.

[ebufford]

Thanks' -Bless you

[Pimptype2k6]

Man, this is really good. Good job buddy.

[djwiggz]

You are a phenomenal player. May God continue to bless you.

[pmciver2]

You are one of the best musicians I have heard. How long have you been playing?

[ebufford]

Hmm.. about 40 years all by ear. I'm 55 years old as of this past Nov. 07 (old huh? lol)-thx

[pmciver2]

55 is not old at all. It's a blessing to even reach that age these days!! They say (like wine) you get better with age. This has proven true concerning your gift of music, it keeps getting better and better. Keep up the good work, and please continue blessing us with your gift. And by the way Happy Belated Birthday!!!!

[pmciver2]

I could listen to you play the keyboard all day long. You are a very gifted "MINISTER OF MUSIC". I wish you lived near me, I would love for you to give me some lessons. I play the piano, but not nearly as good as you. Keep up the good work!!!

[brookiefielder]

i like..

[YungPawzTV]

this is a good one. like to see people doing this type of thing. soulful. real good to my ears. keep doin ya thing bro.

[jamez123123]

you play the same type of style as me

and not many people like my style (14 year olds like me) they like all the new horrible RAVE stuff!

this is true music

u play in the same way as me :) just how u feel type of thing ,dont need the music!

your very good love listening to you

and i really want to get one of these keyboards

[ebufford]

Thanks and you keep playing ok? My style is called 'funeral music' but thats ok. lol

-Bless you little guy-don't give up on God and your music!!!

[Mlindos]

@ebufford Funeral music LOL

[J1Z06]

will an older motif 8 yamaha have this brilliant type of piano sound? you'd never know this was an electronic piano!

[femaod]

GOOD JOB "AGAIN"!

I have a FANTOM X8 too and i would like to know wich piano are you using on this video...

Thank you and keep playing and making videos!

[blackfunk803]

Wow, Such a great song.

[suedmusica]

oh man...you´re so musical...

[jonathangoodwin615]

hi have you ever thought about taking the time to break down these chords for your fans? would love to learn them like agpraise does? thanks so much

[UTSONUT]

one final question for you Ezra:

what kind of an amplifier or speaker are you using with the fantom?

Thank you for your expert advice.

Your music is deep, sublime, peaceful, & heartfelt and it inspires me

[ebufford]

At home I send it through my old Phonic 6 channel mixer, JVC receiver and Sat. speakers which I took from a sati. system that never worked right-(had a bad delay sound in it) -Live, I use a Pevey amp that I'm not happy with because it seems to have a flanger sound to it every time without effects. -and a separate 20in speaker --bless u and thanks'

[UTSONUT]

I`ve gotta say, you play with great touch

By far some of the most beautiful chords I`ve ever heard, I play as well, but not familiar with the chords you play, do you have any recommendations? how I could learn? I play by hearing.

and I have to ask you like many others have,

I want to buy a keyboard 88 key, cant decide

1) fantom

2) motif

3) korg m3

4) kurzweil (but those are mad expensive) - never played one but lots of famous artists use it like Stevie and Bee gees

[Kurzland]

Try the Kurzweil PC3x when it arrives in stores soon.

[cjzzzzz]

My brotha, the music is beautiful!

[benigno41]

Hi! i've a question....the touch and the expressivity of rd-700sx is the same that is in the fantom x8??

(srry 4 my bad english!!)

thanks!!!

[ebufford]

Beni...not sure about the sx. At my church we have the old RD-700 which is nice and simple. Both of them takes a 'live service' beating real good-not like my old Roland 88 key A90 in a case in my garage now for sale.

[NickScala]

i dont know if i like that piano sound. ive always been a yamaha guy and am in the market for a new keyboard. its either the yamaha xs7 or fantom x7. any suggestions? btw you play amazing and it is very inspirational!

[Jonboyutube]

Really, really great stuff. Inspirational. Thanks.

[byrthfood]

Nothing is better than pitch bending a piano.

[ebufford]

Yeah by' it's so fake lol' but I love playing with it sometimes.

[Denvermorgan2000]

Ezra what a wonderful talant god has givin you!!!

[larry1961]

Wow...love your style..you make it your own. I do this song too on my site. God Bless!

Larry1961

[supermario1999]

Magnificent! Ezra, so glad I found your videos. I had seen them before and neglected to sub. I recently got my X8 board, and hopefully i can learn something from you.

[ebufford]

I almost had a hard time making my final decision when I finally got the money as to which keyboard to buy. I loved the Motif for it's Hammond and EPiano sound but since I mostly love a great piano sound for sound tracks and also when I go out to play for weddings and dinners that I had to buy the Roland Fantom!

[nysynthman50]

Outrageous stuff..Keep them coming

[HarpMaker]

Once again, another fantastic piece!

[GrandeChoeur]

The Fantom X has an amazing grand piano sound. I love it so much. Thanks for posting; the chords are very, very interesting!

[s0ulpian0]

wow,just so spiritual inspiring channel of yours man!! love the vids!! i try to play,but i can't play that good!! How long do you play??

[ebufford]

About 35 years, all by ear praise God. P.S. now since I have retired from my 34 year job, it's time for some good reading lessons.

[s0ulpian0]

Me to by ear but i must learn the notes to man!! Hate it that i can't read notes that good. But thanks for the vids and God bless

[Brad99r]

God bless Ezra, great job!
