[@Thommmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

6:08 the lick

[@MostLikelyMortal]

I was doing some light reading and the lick drew me out of that paragraph SO QUICKLY

[@owendale2868]

Very skillful playing
Very enjoyable listening
Always groove up the world
With great rememberable classics Glory hallelujah

[@TimelordUK]

I can't believe a human being can be this consistently so talented. I have endless respect for you and the years and years of dedication you have given xx

[@DrGargani]

first electronic keyboard that I ever had...ended up donating it to a school....the action was unique, but my current keyboards capture the sound very well......very nice interpretation of a great song!!!!!!

[@vicjames2011]

such a shame more people don't understand the genius it takes to make a keyboard sing

[@hozae6368]

There is something about this instrument

[@lilithrogers5204]

Ain't No Sunshine today--Sunny has left us--flown off to join his old buddies in the cloudisphere!! Love you.......

[@team-a6049]

Great job... i so enjoy listening to your work... you let this instrument sing so wonderful!!!! Klasse ..Greetings from Germany!

[@Guessmynameification]

Thought we were getting started with No Quarter haha, excellent

[@FiveFigsDigital]

Same palette.

[@lucianobaeta]

Great playing! And your Rhodes sounds amazing!

[@jon44602]

Nothing sounds like THE Rhodes...

[@Fallingoverbackwards]

Seems like no matter how many ways they sample a rhodes it never sounds like the real thing. I think this is because every time you hit a key the sound changes more than say a piano. I am hearing hundreds of velocity changes in the sound and the way it resonates

[@Axcellomatic]

Yes, very true. It would need to be modeled by software to get close, but even then there is so much to take into account.

[@NzGroove]

you cant sample soul my dude ;)

[@jaggass]

@@Axcellomatic Keyscapes is about the closest to sounding like a Fender Rhodes.

[@edunabie]

@@jaggass I agree with Derek, but Keyscape does get you close. Im looking forwards to getting a better mac and trying keyscape maxed out (in terms of samples and round robins) and working on a speaker system that feels right. Iv only ever laid my hands on a rhodes 1 time when I was a boy, so can't really comment, but i can play keyscape for hours on end in a way i can't with nord and yamaha samples (ep's)

[@trollenz]

That sound... ❤️

[@johnnyparamedic]

Dude, these are my favorites vids.. you're beyond talented .

[@DavidConnors]

This is a lovely solo reinterpretation.

[@isaacboensch]

Sounds like sunshine to me

[@geriko29]

[@NzGroove]

Dam dude respect for such a great performance and was a good overview of the sounds for people looking into getting on of these bad boys. bravo... Encore! hehe

[@bazjaddley6369]

I'm just learning keyboards after playing this on guitar for years so it feels.. viable...

[@d.j.peters]

Well done I love it :-)

[@floofytown]

Is this a Vintage Vibe restoration? That thing's gotta have back-checks installed!

[@keithfoley3228]

I restored it myself with some parts from Vintage Vibe. And yes, definitely has backchecks!

[@lucasmoneta8091]

[@Fuego.017]

[@jwaj]

Get yo own rhodes

[@sexypoetry]

i love this sound totally...turns me on completely...but i always sing when i play, i have the strict rule of not making merely instrumental music...could someone direct me to the link that will show me how do the rhodes and voice sound together?...i mean: just the voice and rhodes, no other instruments

[@osuperjames]

Same here. Looking for a video that solve this question.

[@sexypoetry]

@@osuperjames let me know if you find it, svp

[@sexypoetry]

@@osuperjames Thanks!

[@thefunkygino]

I think the first 30-40 seconds of Billy Joel's "James" are a valid proof that is a great combination... czcams.com/video/4HXjtlDjdP4/video.html ... same with the "Just the way you are" intro czcams.com/video/tJWM5FmZyqU/video.html

[@thefunkygino]

Maybe you'll also like czcams.com/video/svX6WRWBP8o/video.html - even if he's not playin an original Rhodes piano in this video.

[@devito5038]

💯

[@ZEBULON181]

Does that thing have tubes in it and if so where do you get replacements

[@daniellmiller]

I had the Rhodes suitcase many years ago and I’m pretty sure it’s all solid state.

[@edh2246]

With the suitcase style the instrument is sitting on top of the tube amplifier. The Rhodes instrument itself does not have tubes. It works similar to an electric guitar and is plugged into an amplifier. You can even use effects pedals like an electric guitar.

[@daniellmiller]

@@edh2246 Thanks for the clarification Ed. I had mine for five years and it never required service. Considering how much abuse it got on the road I'm surprised it used tubes. I would have been a little gentler.

[@geoffreywyliejr44]

3:20

[@Corpsegrinderr]

I love this song, and this instrument.... But this rendition is poorly done. Too straightforward, robotic and lacking of any kind of dynamic besides during the solo. Great performance regardless, the robotic-ness gives it that "elevator" kind of vibe, which I get, but this really needs more flare and personality.

[@blacktootherson]

what

[@xapk]

Hey Don are you for real????
