Bruce Hornsby The Way it is Solo

[richardkkirk]

sweet

[vwfanarg]

that keyboard sounds goooooddddddddddddd

[ron1martens]

It is good watching you play this. I like the way you loosened your fingers and came out and played. To make solo and then make your own arrangement needs work. There must be so many options that bring on a different sound.

[axual]

Easily two or three times as complicated as Bruce Hornsby's rendition. Heard a few misses, but great job.

[remaks69]

Awesome!

[justjay1ful]

one of my favorite songs.. love your version.. this is a hard song to do<3

[Sherpaful]

i'm sad to think i'll never be this talented. Some peopel are just born with it

[ThreeDotsRome]

Wedding Ring...DAMN!!!!! <3

[Tarclasp]

@Willnotallow.

I decided to check out your own videos to determin the merrit of your comment. Cough cough..

[scratchdspecs]

Terribly difficult song to play but it is my goal to be able to play this.. (It should be noted I set this particular goal ~1985..Just getting around to it) You've got great technique. I'm sure you've been playing for a little while.;-) Thanks for uploading, very enjoyable. Now do "Party Rock Anthem!!"

[laxluver13]

[crazychrisva]

It's impossible to copy Bruce Hornsby, yet you have gotten pretty close.

[Vapor419]

That was ridiculous...

[JamesHarkerMusic]

Brilliant. A pleasure to watch your hands swimming over the piano like that. You make something very tricky look very easy.

[khoiktran]

so i guess that solo was your own version?

[Meidifoster]

Very cool!!! Awesome!!! (Y)

[dekzan]

I'm buying my first keyboard. Can u please, recommend certain stand ? I notic your doesn't bounce like many others. Great playing. Very enjoyable. Nothing anoyed, at all.

[kanoelmejor]

[BertisEvil66]

[Martyn4291]

well played you have skill sir but leave the extra notes where there best i.e. out of it

[wnotion]

very nice!!!

[jimster83]

@wnotion Thank you.

[hollowedhead]

If you die before me could I have your hands....

[wallooga]

@hollowedhead

LOL

yea. luvverly lil porkies

lol

[exjrain]

I dont mean to play devils advocate but hes got the typical classical need to play too much. Simplify it a bit and let the notes speak. Sometimes adding more notes is not always best. It's missing the Hornsby flair and his sound has a lot of 4ths and grace notes snuck in there to make it his style but this version seems to be lacking that. While I agree he is an accomplished pianist and he made it his own, it's too distracting how much he pulled it out of hornsby's style and added too much.

[poeavor]

@exjrain

I liked it a lot you perfectionist

[firstube]

@exjrain

you have no clue

ps it was 86 not 83

[jimster83]

@firstube You're right. Thanks!

[exjrain]

@firstube

Don't hate just cause I provided some constructive criticism. I enjoyed the video. Clearly, he is a tallented and accomplished pianist and this is a good video. He is obviasly also compensating for lack of a full band with vocals and bass and such. However, I'm just saying that the song is amazing in it's original state and I just felt this particular arrangement was too busy sounding which detracted from the overall feel of the song. It wasn't meant to be played like that.

[JasonDGreen]

Wow, you're famous, Jim! 6400+ views == You Beat The Internet!

;-)

Seriously, great job as always on this song.

[8bun8]

Thank you for this, it's beautiful!

[powerjudjee]

great sound !!!!

[ingz1993]

aint this the song that is in changes by tupac?

[Troem]

yes sir

[jimster83]

@ingz1993 Yes it is, I named the video wrong....

[leefuji]

@jimster83 named the video wrong lol , nice one ;-)

[bladerunner190]

@jimster83  lol the original song is called (The Way it is by Bruce Hornsby )

Tupac is just a remake!

[catfishtango2]

@jimster83 tupac sampled bruce hornsby; you named it right. Awesome performance!

[GeekySnapper]

@jimster83 nope, its Bruce Hornsby and The Range, Tupac covered it

[12d3var]

@ingz1993

I think Tupac took the melodi from this song to his own

[ingz1993]

@12d3var yeah, i think so to.

[ksx1988]

@ingz1993 aint tupac the n1gger that jacked the song of Bruce Hornsby?

[ingz1993]

@ksx1988 one way of saying it^^

[jalland]

@ksx1988 Hahahaha, great.

[MarceloMPX7]

Great job! Excelent music!

[thisux7x7]

Nice, fluid piano playing. Brings out the excitement of a simple progression and shows the talent you have in "impov", and making melodic sounds progressive... Great job!

[PianoPedies]

Awesome. Probably the best version on Youtube.

[jimster83]

@PianoPedies Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.
