Last Day in Greece

[radityoah]

I bet @JCRUDESS also can play gamelan! You should try it when got your trip to Indonesia on April...

[DeadlyPenguinMusic]

Musicians like Jordan are so lucky... They get to travel the world showcasing their talents to everybody! How I wish I was one of them :(

[kdiamantikos]

Γεια σου Rudess με το μπαγλαμά σου!!!! Hi there Rudess with your baglama!!!!

[lesclaypool0727]

Jordan Rudess know everything what Chuck Norris don't know! :D

[Fiends4]

We could just clone Jordan a few times and we'd have a great Dream Theater cover band!

[triviuoli]

The circle of life - the worlds creates something new and Jordan Rudess masters it

[triviuoli]

@triviuoli world*

[oscarcr80]

Is there any musical instrument Jordan can´t play ?

[Croketas]

@oscarcr80 There is something he'll never be able to play... A dinosaur

[warezpl0]

Rudess is so cool :D

[TnadzDanza]

Whoa!  I didn't know Portnoy could play stringed instruments.

[darkmist255]

@TnadzDanza Rudess :D.

[osalbaro]

Sounds like "The test that stump them all", from Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence album/song.

[krisgraves69]

[ConceptualVisionInc]

[ntlprt]

Pancser.



[niko061976]

with your musical knowledge I believe that there is no instrument that can stand in your way!! awsome as always.. and great "baglamas" playing! you might also have petrucci on "tzouras" and try RTE( RebetikoTensionExperiment!! ) :D

[karapian]

[nyok443]

I think Dream Theater will soon have a Bouzukist in their line up....prog-sirtaki.-metal :D

[tonlitt]

[Raffael900me]

[riffoman100]

[VNtinos]

I guess Jordan has full talent at all instruments... Hail from Greece

[tzouraspicker]

Yes...I sometimes play a tzouras for my soul

[nikooxmaster]

Make an app out of it now :D

[taggthew0rld]

@nikooxmaster raflol

[StraighAndProud]

whenever you guys play Octavarium, you should add a couple of licks to the electric Dobro intro in concert! Keep on Keepin on!

God Bless Bro! Next time you go to Greece or Israel, Take me! We could jam on some keys together! HAHA!

[prevomg]

So rudess how does a greek traditional instrument looks to you ??? :P

[alexevh]

nice!

[DOCTORY2010]

απιστευτοσ ο τυποσ και τι δεν παιζει

[GeorgiosZaimis]

Δεν το πιστεύω ότι παίζει ΚΑΙ μπαγλαμά!

[LOUARAS]

Gyros - Mousakas - Greek cheese called Feta .......

[xXbrick84Xx]

What the hell The Wizard can play anything!!

[ex3lmei]

Its Baglamas guys!!!

[reglismusic]

It's not called bouzouki, it is called baglamas.

[rockman1066]

Jordan, do you know where I can buy that instrument, what the name of the instrument is, and the tabs or music sheets for what you just played?

[mangafreak923]

@rockman1066 its called a bouzouki, but thats more smaller than they usually make them. As for where to buy them, no clue buddy.

[rockman1066]

@mangafreak923 thanks. i have been did some research on them but i don't know where to buy one. i will have to google search some more.

[mangafreak923]

@rockman1066 Yeah or you can try amazon. I personally love those instruments because I listen to some Greek music every now and then.

[rockman1066]

@mangafreak923 yeah, it sounds beautiful and i looked at some groups that play with these intuments and they do it very well. i already play guitar so i am sure i will be able to play the bouzouki

[tzouraspicker]

@rockman1066

He's playing a Baglama, next size up is a Tzouras and next up a Bouzouki.

[rockman1066]

@tzouraspicker thank you. appreciate it

[Jiwpgakis]

YEESS!! DREAM THEATER ! MAKE A GREEK STYLE SONG THAT WOULD BE GREAT!! THIS WOULD COMBINE MY HOME COUNTRY'S MUSIC WITH ONE OF MY FAVOURITE BANDS!! GOGOGO as you know, there are some odd time signatures/rhythms in greek(and of course all the balkan stuff) folk musik as well as in DT! maybe that brought me to listening to DT

[Socioistic]

@Jiwpgakis

Count Of Tuscany. Pretty close.

[Jiwpgakis]

@Socioistic I'm not sure about that;D

[Anucha719]

So nice :)

[kouradoman]

lol its scott ian :P

[Satriani0101]

Rudess the absolute baller.

[skittletube]

Ahaha...I'm proud to be half greek now. what cool little mandolin. If that's what it was.

[MrTasos1981]

mpaglamas..is the instrument.....

[deanima427]

jordan is unbelievably talented in everything that has to do with music...hope he never leaves DT...

[Blacklizzy22]

Well... this was quite epic indeed.

[UnforgivingCritic]

how about playing in the name of god solo?

[mariolecompt]

Ahaha i'm proud to be greek now.

[tomashalandrums]

hahaha cool!! ante stin ygeia mas!!!

[zechordlord]

Now that I've seen this i can die being complete. By the way 'baglamas' is a turkish word, not greek :p even though the instrument is used a lot in greek traditional music. Just thought it was funny seeing all these people saying 'it's a greek instrument called baglamas!'.

[steelianos]

@zechordlord The word is turkish,but thet urkish instrument is different from the greek one. This one is a greek baglamas. Cheerz mate

[rudiiwii1]

whats that! :D?

[Juampy060]

Daniel Jakubovic Style

[BloodDrunk17]

moiazei me to Spiti (Home)

[Johnpjm]

Jordan, you are a TRUE musician. That's all that can be elaborated on.

P.S.: Thank you for convincing me to become a piano player. I once was a guitar player.

P.P.S.: Your parts are damn hard to play.

P.P.P.S.: Try not to explode the universe with your music, okay?

Bye!

[MarvinPumpkin]

@Johnpjm & He commented Perfectly.

[JMartinsATV]

@Johnpjm "Your parts are damn hard to play."

Dude, don't play with Rudess's parts, especially if they're hard! That's gross...

[TheDT07]

Let John Petrucci play it XD

[LieutenantFuzz]

@Theshamham- Jesus, man, he was kidding around. Relax.

[axelcd1]

hahahaha cool! :)

[deepapo]

cool :))

[tallicafan250169]

Hold on a second....most people buy a T-shirt as a momento for a trip away from home.....and buy an instrument?

[brainsupremacy]

I'm going mad waiting for your next album and u play toys !?!?!?!?!

[Deadcakez]

1 deaf person must of watched this video.

[XPetrucciXBurtonX]

Please use that instrument on an album!

[GabrielDhalaman]

@XPetrucciXBurtonX Too much petrucci for inovations on THAT band,little pal...always heeeavy guitar,heavy guitar,cool as hell,love it,BUT,come on,they will respect petrucci´s domain there of course,jordan get along very well harmonizing awsome parts,but,heeey,they´re not some genesis,gentle giant or yes,not that that is over,but they are DT and will respect forever petrucci´s excess

[AntoineChildOfficial]

Great Instrument! Thanks for the kind words you've sad about our band Antoine Child. We really do appreciate it! It truly is a huge honor for us.

[godspell911]

this instrument is called "BAGLAMAS" ...and it's one of the traditional greek instruments...!

[monkeytheman26]

[Kimhojung43200115]

[ChrisHaspeck]

silly fucker !!!

[DrumN00b]

Is there anything, any kind of instrument, that you actually can't play?

[cliffordodelljones2]

@DrumN00b You wanna rethink that question and try to answer it yourself? ;D

[gkountanis]

Its the greek instrument "baglamadaki" ... Great concert in Greece! - next time add the Glass Prison! plz

[minol75]

[djrmusicdude]

It's all Greek to me: rock on JR

[Neueregel]

Great show in Athens, Jordan !!!! Thanks a lot for the performance, all DT and FW guys were amazing many Kudos, come back again !!! best wishes

[RMCultOfficial]

thats a cute kind of sitar, did you buy it in Greece?

[alquimiavisual]

How can you be instantly awesome with any instrument?? :D

[ShadewraithX]

@alquimiavisual It's one of those things that separates Gods from us mere mortals.

[MentalEmanuel]

2X Speed = John Petrucci

[challengeleo]

ela re ellada !!!! makari perissoteroi ellines na itan san ton rudess!!! oti pianei ginetai xrysos!!!! best keyboard player ever(awsome concert in athens by the way)

[Artakserksis]

Rudess playing in 7/8? Unbelievable.

[Johnpjm]

@Artakserksis Sounds more like 7/4 to me, if you want to be picky. But 7 is 7, for sure.

[pstamatiou]

I wouldn't imagine you playing "rempetika"! Anyways, the gig in Athens was simply amazing, but next time play Hollow Years as well! You were amazing in thae count of tuscany improv. thanks for the great show!

[liakosGusG]

[GianfrixMG]

[JBCollinet]

There will be a baglamas preset in the next MW and SW build... Or a bagleingeharp, or a baglamharpejji...

[thousis]

This instrument is called Baglamas :P

[headfake]

Thankfully the Austin part really caught my eye... can't wait because I'm also planning on seeing them there. Oct. 26, 2011 can't come soon enough!!!!!! =D

[FroZinia]

[Diablos199]

[DTxOctavariumx]

[Prosopagnosia11]

[paulgillard7]

This kinda reminded me of Jethro Tull.
