[viberber05]

Fantastic version. Please could you pass the score. thanks

[viberber05]

Fantástica versión. Por favor podrías pasar la partitura. Gracias.

[somaking77]

Just beautiful!!!! So nice!!!

[NarimatsuMusic]

The fact that you aren't famous is a crime against the jazz world.

[7notemode]

@NarimatsuMusic Ha!  I'm OK with where I am. Thanks!

[fiddleandpiano]

awesome chords progression !!

[7notemode]

@fiddleandpiano Thanks.

You are the real master of extremely beautiful harmonies!

[7notemode]

@gerhardia Thank you.

[pianofood]

Man, you are so fine… There's huge heart in your playing. –R.

[7notemode]

@pianofood I appreciate it.

[jazzshreds]

Beautiful, you are a master! Shame you say on your channel that you don't have time to gig...but at least you're reaching the world through these videos. p.s. Just out of interest, is that a midi piano (headphones)?

[7notemode]

@jazzshreds Thanks. I was just monitoring the recording through headphones while playing.

[myhannahdotcom]

Thank you for the beautiful tunes.

[7notemode]

@myhannahdotcom Hey, Thanks.

[panafuerte]

My goodness interpretation is everything.

I'm sure the composer would've appreciated how you played this song.

Don't ever stop playing. You were made for this no doubt.

Thank you Maestro !

[7notemode]

@panafuerte I appreciate it!

[7notemode]

@panafuerte Thank you.

[thmusicman24]

geniusness

[7notemode]

@thmusicman24 ha! Thanks.

[wafuhwafuh1828]

do you have a score sheet for this version? very nice!! you are so good! :))

[7notemode]

@wafuhwafuh1828 Sorry no transcripts.

[jake11375]

Absolutely gorgeous tone and chords! Thank you so much for sharing your vision and amazing talent!

[pascjen]

love to listen your version ,very very nice harmony

[7notemode]

@pascjen Thank you so much!

[alanheck1]

@pascjen I wonder why this tune has 145.000 calls when all the other tunes of 7note mode are also really good. I think I know the answer now. In this bit he is wearing a clean shirt! And it is eaven ironed. That is this secret to getting maximum calls, what do you think? ;-) Alan from Berlin

[neverfeelalone]

your hands are just awesome! thank you very much your video inspired me to play this song with some passion, my mom likes it! lol if i have time i'll upload it and see what you think :) seriously thank you

[vimana19pianomedley]

I do this one every single week at my old gig, it is a great candlelight toon.

[diskors55]

beautiful voicings

[DaSlyfaux]

I subscribed some time ago, you haven't let me down yet. God Bless and please keep up the good work!

[phly23]

Beautiful. WELL DONE, YOU!

[santosomar]

outstanding !!!! thank you for sharing and please keep them coming. This is very very impressive. I wish I can play like you. I play this song on a basic/intermediate level; however, you have exceeded by far!

[Passageredenotes]

Magnifiques harmonies et très intéressantes, même si personnellement je préfère la version de Jarrett, plus sobre et aussi au niveau émotions. Mais, très très intéressant votre version harmoniquement parlant.

[7notemode]

@Passageredenotes je préfère la version de Jarrett aussi. :-)

[CummingsKevinD]

Dear 7Note guy: You're becoming a problem & an obsession. though not always in that order. Every time I have to leave for work, YouTube feeds me one of your beautiful piano solo arrangements!! I tell you, the computer guys are trying to program us, but they won't get me! There's more, but I'm nearly late for work and have to leave. Wait! Is that LAURA I hear you playing? OMG, I need to learn that bridge! I'll have to call in late for work. Don't let the computer guys get you, 7Note guy!

[7notemode]

@CummingsKevinD ha! Thanks so much!

[TheMasterpiece76]

mi fai sognare con i ricami delle tue mani,grazie.....

[ImaniHekima]

Excellent work - many thanks.

[singlebrotherjs]

[Snatched12]

what creativity...I could listen to this all day and then some....fantastic...

[7notemode]

@Snatched12 Thank you.

[jallaguri]

That was 5 minutes and 12 seconds of a beautiful interpretation of this beloved melody. Thanks for sharing 7notemode :-)

[7notemode]

@jallaguri Thanks for listening!

[coreymcmusic]

super amazing. Wow I'm loving how you're just telling a story with your fingers. It's called finger talkin'. Nice arrangement. Please check out my arrangement of this.

[pataroons]

man you play from the heart. love it.

[KevKev26]

I love this so much. I'm jealous of your amazing skill! Good work!

[drcool56]

just awesome, very inspiring

I'm sure Keith Jarrett listened to this a few times with interest if not worries!

see ya soon with a new video version using your sensitiviy, tich and tricks =D

[PatrickDarcyMusic]

well done im so impressed, beats my cover hands down!

[dlesnar]

Nice reharmonization. Unique take on this well-worn tune. Chapeau!

[stupdido8376]

Headphones?

[Contentibus]

Some lovely chord voicings man...that is beautiful. Thank-you for posting :) x

[TheMeanSgtPlaysPiano]

Holy shit. O_O

[kgtwin2]

God, I absolutely love your voicings, your interpretation, and your overall feeling to this song. You obviously play jazz piano. Who are some of the artist you like to listen to?

[nezkeys79]

I still sit in awe at your command of harmony. I wish to have that knowledge one day. by the way can you please not use that stupid transcription program on any of your videos lol? Its ok for simply showing the keys your playing but it sucks at transcribing piano sheet music. I always prefer to see your hands at the piano like this and all your other older videos. I would love to buy some proper sheet music done by yourself and not some crap musical notation program

[geoffpeterstrio]

wow, this is beautiful!!!

[marsbull1]

Sublime, beautiful arrangements and intelligent harmonies. Is it partially improvised?

[supsamyify]

nice piano mixing 

[7notemode]

@netvorful Thank you so much!

[ehousnproductions80]

do u have an instructional dvd out cause u are freakn OMAZING!!!!!!

[senormouse]

Excellent. I like the change of 'texture' from modal passages to chromatic jazz substitute chording. What a prompt to drag this prodigal son back to playing more. Thank you.

[claitontesch]

Gorgeous!

[abssGail]

did u arranged this on ur own? it's nice

[TheForevafaithful44]

[TheForevafaithful44]

teach this piece plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[kornfehlt]

Tanks for the good playing and the good audio!!!!

[TheCJCarl]

I can't add to the comments and compliments here--simply put, your playing is incredible. I would love to hear your rendition of Irving Berlin's "What'll I Do?" which is my favorite unrequited love song. I can only imagine the haunting tonal qualities you'd bring to that piece. Cheers!

[flpsnk4848]

absolutely breathtaking, amazing structure of chords, that harmonie... *_* love it

[r3d5oX3458]

Fantastic cover. The emotion you put into the piece is almost tangible. Not over zealous or over the top, just a beautifully arranged piece.

[7notemode]

@r3d5oX3458 Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

[TheClankMan]

Im learning to play piano; and im 12..

[Nolimitsfan]

I hate versions like this.. I even can't remember the melody of the song..

[7notemode]

@JumbaFan I really appreciate 'beautiful' Thanks :-)

[revofree]

This is staggering! I listened to the first 2 chords about 40 times before I went even further through your interpretation! Magic, pure magic! Your playing is immense too! Thanks!

[7notemode]

@revofree Thank you, revofree!

[MAnuciao79]

@7notemode

God it´s true.

[Protozoo79]

Very very interesting! Thank you! :))

[Lot2learn]

One of my all time favorite performances of yours. You have hit it so out of the park on this one that it is in permanent orbit. Re-visiting this is pure affirmation to me of all that is good and brings to me a wonderful sense of inner calmness. Thank you.

[nezkeys79]

I dont' know what to say simple as (mouth open)

[homerboy488]

Any chance you did what Jarrett did and made the sheets to your version available?

[7notemode]

@homerboy488 Sorry, no transcription

[bobbie406]

dude this brilliant! I would love to use it as a backing track sometime if you dont mind?

[7notemode]

@bobbie406 Send me a private message

[jevolevite]

well done !

[paxwallacejazz]

Brother you really got somthin there !yeah what that Irish dude said.

[PauloTozzi]

Congrats from Brazil!

[7notemode]

@Delmontedel Thanks for the compliment it is much appreciated.!t

[Delmontedel]

I have just "stumbled" across this. Your interpretation is absolutely inspired, your chords are sublime and your touch on the keys like a gentle breeze mimicking the melody of this wonderful song.

Mike (Republic of Ireland)

[7notemode]

@Delmontedel haha, thanks!! for the very poetic compliment!

[tongatz28]

Anybody who says that this is a notch below Jarrett's version has got to be off his rockers.

7nm, your 'greatest hits' in my ipod makes my horrible commute much more bearable.

Thanks, man.

[7notemode]

@tongatz28 Thanks!

[mozartiikodesu]

Good interpretation.

So beautiful!

[Daneywaney]

Everytime I see one of your video I dont know why, but I expect the same old same old piano composition. Im always delightfully surprised. 5* Do you ever play at clubs or restaurants?

[7notemode]

Daneywaney, I really appreciate it!

[Benspinner]

Beautiful - Truly Touching...

Thanks a lot.

[Mrm0ves]

Wow!

This is almost as beautifully as Jarrett's version :O

Nice Chord progression too.

Just Stunning

[7notemode]

Thanks Mrm0ves!!

[Mr1271211]

Just Beautiful!

[mihmus]

Wow...

I played Jarrett's version by transcription.

But your harmony... it's something unbelievable...

Thank you a lot! I think that I will see this video over and over again...

[7notemode]

Thanks mihmus.

[augustinpiano]

Very original, with good taste!

Congratulations)

[wonujoa]

very nice...............i don't know what to say...

and your ending is so perfectly moving....

the silence, the pause....and everything...

you are so blessed!!! God bless you

[7notemode]

Thank you so much, wonujoa.

[lewisluu]

absolutely beautiful playing and amazing arrangement...other than that, speechless...

[7notemode]

Thanks, lewisluu!

[johnp234]

Sounds like you were channeling Monk through Keith Jarrett by way of a church piano. Is that original? Sure it is! Aren't we all just a compendium of everything we've ever experienced? However, I think your analysis of the lyrics is a bit off. Yip Harburg was conveying the death of Dorothy's parents in the song, and the longing to be with them. Oz is pretty obviously the afterlife, from which she returns on waking from the dream.

[katherinnnnne]

even this old and overplayed tume has suddenly become new and unique, thankyou!

[xGoOutsidex]

Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[lmaxim]

My Lord, I'm not the first and of course not the last one to say that this is (like any of your clips) just amazing, oustanding etc.etc. I believe you know that, but I still wonder where do you take this harmony from? I mean, absolutely-unexpextably-beauti­ful. Are there any rules? Is there any order in the whole mess of suspended 4+ 7- 9 11 13 dominant and subdom? In any case, I'm your fan!!!

[7notemode]

Thanks, Imaxim. I don't have any set formulas. I have worked to create an individualized harmonic vocabulary, so I really appreciate your comment.

[jprauda]

man where are you ? what state? any tips on some great jazz teachers like yourself in LA area california? Man this is blessed music. God is in your fingers young man. (im 34 talkin bout young man lol)

[7notemode]

Sorry jprauda, I don't know any teachers in LA. Thanks for the terrific comment, though!

[med3484]

please do some videos on chord substitutions/tri-tones/circle of fifths, etc. so I can better understand you improvising technique and your thought process when using chords. PLEASE!

[krissypoetnwriter]

I can give you the exact chords without all that hard work! Krystal

[Schazaa]

ahh I love when someone not just plays notes from paper, but adds something from theirselves =] my second favorite performance of "somewhere over the rainbow" on youtube.
