[13quotes]

still the best unrehearsed keyboard dual on the net that I've seen. Need to see more of these two.

[JusMusicLife1000]

wow crazi yall need to make more yall need to b heard even more!!!

[TodaysbeatsTV]

Just 1 medical explanation: SICK!

[tyetribbettfan09]

i'm speechless. That was amazing

[eartrainer1]

if only you could do a tutorial

[MrTTCee]

i feeling both styles wish i could dish out thick chords and fast solos like them cats

[eartrainer1]

people work hard in different areas of music its jus sad how some people only appreciate hip hop and R&B

[Bohughes81]

MAN THEM CHORDS THEY PLAYING IS OMG

[vibe2jae]

man dem katz are BANANAS!!!

[PODUB1]

I LOVE IT!

[williamr5101]

I LIKE BOTH STYLES!

[IkoLx123]

i think most of us here can agree that the most hated part of this vid is at 6:34...

[1mzlindsey]

Wow

[Ictmaster1]

The winner is the guy using the Rhodes sound

[jhawkbeatz]

lol Practice practice practice is all it takes and i do it everyday watching this jus make you wanna stop lol

[EricEB14]

this whole video is overkill !!

[EricEB14]

whoah!! from 0:30 !!!

[tkalory]

@Yeshuwah77 no they're not off

[andreharrison66]

3:35!!!

[tkalory]

I love those off-sounding notes at 2:57!!!! It's just something about them that catch my attention!!!

[blacksuave]

@tkalory A-la Thelonius Monk! Excellent dissonance displayed!

[Yeshuwah77]

@tkalory yeah there off.. thats what grabbed your attention.

[mysticman07]

is there anyway to slow this down?

[GB260]

i watch this every day!!

[Modes9]

These guys are both great. The guy with the cap would probably be better to be in a band with because he's a really good comper as well as soloist. I would like to hear the guy with the white t-shirt comp a little more, because he's obviously a blazing soloist.

[Lboydmusic]

Wow thats awesome

[hoother]

The chords at 1:31 are just sick!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then ya other boy kills him with the classical piece. Kinda reminds me of a battle between Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans. Two masters that will kill you differently! Must respect...............

[16scottjr]

Wow, im speechless...I better go practice now

[supersonicayejay]

Damn these guys are my inspiration to play more just killing it on the keys :)

[adonigh]

2:17 .... thumbs ? smh

[1ness1da]

[topgrain]

I think the look on Eric's face after 1:58 says it all.

[GB260]

4:24 is just heavenly!!!!! 

[15meatwadd]

WOW..!! dont u wish u had pianists like this at your church!!! i know i do!! totally amazing~! X)

[Candyland1903]

as a music major and a lover of sweet sounding i really enjoyed you guys. i wish i had this on a cd (w/o the talking lol ) as study music. i could really listen to you guys all day!!! keep up the good work!!!!!!

[Dxchops]

Man that thing at 2:56 is crazy! Theoretically it makes no sence but omg it sounds beast! i guess its just my adrenline gettin the best of me right now lol

[topgrain]

@Dxchops Thelonius Monk made a mint off of that very type of sound.

[pianoman2781]

[tjsax7]

[thelanguage29]

You are my heroes...that's all I can say...oh and WOW!!!!

[ROMANTICLOVE09]

Both are awesome but I like the feel of the brotha in the white shirt! Lil more technical and jazzier. Love the guy with the hat's neo-soul groove, though!

[ROMANTICLOVE09]

Damn!!!

[pmciver2]

Wow, they are both awesome!!!!! But the guy in the white is a BEAST!!!

[pmciver2]

Wow, they are both awesome!!!!!

[KELH1990]

Okay so you got this guy in the white who is ripping ALL TYPES of SCALES and licks, with Jazz, Classical-type references. (My cousin Steve Plays like that at my church) Then You got dude in the cap who plays a bunch of Smooth Heart-melting, Sounding Neo-Soul Progressions and chord-changes. (My Style) But this video is SICK!!! They need to paste more!!

[RaypaRed]

I left that country a while ago. make sure u have your passports ready. u will need them soon. Shalom!!!

[Reggaemusician09]

[pierstheoneandonly]

It's got to be a tie on musicality. Both great jazz musicians but different in their approach, showing their strengths in different areas. 

[SouthEzayBlueBorough]

[cbmuzik]

my brother loves this video...he's always like: "CB, let's watch that keyboard battle. Them chords be HITTIN!" Keep doing the thang bro!

[topgrain]

Bluehat gives a sheepish glance at 2:09 that amounts to a salute and a bow to the winner. Very enjoyable video.

[SONOFAMUSICIAN]

what piece excerpt did the guy in the white tee do at 3:35? its was straight beastly! both of ya'll is straight nasty with it!!

[Keezyout]

Man I am loving dis video. I am a keyboard player and nobody post us on YouTube. All u see is organ bass and drum vids. Lol keyboards all da way!!!

[temetito922]

The one with the hat has phat chords, but the one with the white shirt had faster fingers...and

[pistok2]

[taysuse]

Gosh!!!!! If only yal were my brothers!! How do ppl like yal get so good!! im 17 been playin for 5 years. im neva gonna get it. I swear its magic. Theres no way it isnt. HOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????

[PoeticAmazon]

mad, practice thats the only way

[pistok2]

crazy practice man lol

[temetito922]

@taysuse It's called playing by ear. Learning the language of music and not how to read it. that's what it it..there's no magic behind this.

[tomdreamevil]

Guys you are awesome seriously, I would love to know how to play some of those chords you are playing and how to use them in my playing as substituitons etc. :) good work both of you!

[dmharris1985]

ricky price from milwaukee

[lilchurchboi]

from 4:24 - 4:33 is mi fav set!! but both of yalll was killin! u guys r truley blessed!! i almost cried! lol

[jaypianist26]

I can't call a winner!

The one in white has a VICIOUS right-hand! You can tell he's classicaly trained by the way he's ripping through those scales! His fluency frightens me!! Melodically, he's the champ.

But on the other hand, the one in the cap is playing some simply orgasmic (yes, i said ORGASMIC lol) chord progressions, and the syncopations are great. Harmonically, he's the champ.

So we've got:

Out-an-out jazz pianist

vs

Smooth, funky keyboardist.

Both winners!

I need to practise...

[pistok2]

@jaypianist26 i completely agree with you

[pistok2]

@jaypianist26 including the i need to practice part lol

[Chiefmusician3]

@jaypianist26 nice comment! great observation!

[DAMUCOMIC]

@jaypianist26 def second that motion....need much practice, this plays non stop on my iphone whenever i need a moment to just shake my head in disbelief....

[GB260]

@jaypianist26 WELL SAID!!!!

[pugslysmart1]

@jaypianist26 I concur!

[biffstudd]

@jaypianist26 Co-sign! Couldn't have said it better myself.

[vonmedia]

[sistagirl488deleted]

[azexperiment]

Great stuff guys. Ricky got some jazz tricks in his arsenal...Eric got some mellow vibes nice! EP and Piano give different feels...attack/percusive element is more on real piano.... They're both dangerous cats.

[004MC]

lolllllll Amazing, insane, watever you wanna call it.

[jbplaya]

Anybody know that Classical song at 3:36????

[GeneralRdot09]

[venso4]

yall need to teach a brother. I'm dying to learn.

[Marquiz08]

oficial- looks like F minor, but they thro sum relative minors in there- a few majors to- i like the classical, jazz, and soul feel of it, they blend they genres well....

[mizzareed]

Awesome integration of classical with the smooth, jazz, gospel sound....don't yall sleep on 3:35!!!!! Crazy! So crazy I had to walk away talkin to myself! LOL!

[jayvpric]

It's good to see so many people enjouing what I grew up on! lol Walking away talking, I feel ya!! lol

[trewdab3]

@jayvpric Hey, I was wondering what that run at 3:35 was from. If you happen to remember or know the name.

[gusisreal]

[253Kelsey]

[jugeproductions]

[SimplyMusiqTV]

if listening to jazz and classical they have alot of runs u can turn into neyo soul and r&b you just have to have they right chords

[CjAkaHitstick20]

[AllenElton1]

[plasticPlaystation]

[gotmahmusiq]

[Ke3yzs]

[Funkifi3d]

Ricks suspensions are off da hook!

[ncdirtyred]

Beasts on the keyz...lol :D

[audrumma]

The dude that chords alot is the bomb to me. After awhile you kinda get tired of here notes a 95mph, lol.

[starkey616]

feelin' that...

[kbstranger13]

I like the whitee teee because his technique is powerful,but his chord progression is not as good as the guy with the cap but the dude wit the cap makes some deadly progressions with his chords..! my opinion harmony is more important than melody.. but you need them all

[mszunderst00d]

they both very talented. they got a whole lot of keyboards lol

[jembone]

Holy sh!t man, this is da good shiznit!

[TheFunkSoulBrada]

Both are so good that they compliment each other! Aint a comp but a an appreciation of styles going on! IF only I could play as half as good, Id be killin!

[LilPutter]

Why can't the "Industry" recognize talent like this and put them on the radio?

Y'all already said it ALL, S-i-c-k!
