Here after the news of his passing. What a fantastic musician we have lost
Same here. His music will live forever.
💯
WHAT?!?!
What a fantastic man we have lost. It does not come into my mind a fantastic musician that is also a fantastic man like him.
That’s better to says - how lucky we are too had met him and saw and heard his music message and messages in music -
We ain’t lost him.
He’s gone for a brand new place for an amazing new planet, man🚀
Dear Chick Corea,
I was a young boy at the age of 15 when I tirst heard this piece on" light as a feather".
This music touched me immediately and so I started to buy many of your records.
My love to Jazz has allready started and the adventure is still going on! At the age of 48 I started playing piano(much to late!!) and now I`m 54 and started playing "Spain" in an easy version.
But I am very abmitious to play it (nearly!) as you do! My teacher says it would be possible, if I work hard. And I will do so!!
Thank you for your music, it has changed my life in a beautiful way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kind regards
Theo
Damn, 6 years and at the best you could play an easy version? Guess this song must be some kind of difficulty that i cant even coincive....i wish you will play this piece! Best luck my friend!
@@mlggodzilla1567 it's a jazz standard, it's not too difficult if you have the level, it also depends on how disciplined are you when practicing
Great stuff dude!! Keep going!!!
@@mlggodzilla1567 I've been playing for about a year and I'm about halfway in after maybe 14 hours of practise in total. I don't play it like chick though, needless to say
@@Mrissecool yeah me too, i had some problems with the rhythm but now i can do the main part without problems, it was all about practice, maybe i should make a video.
A greater wizard than I will ever be.
Saruman The White I was about to encourage you until I saw your name lol
Saruman, pero tu eres multicolor.
Yes indeed, but there's not that much to it, Saruman.
Yes, greater he is.
Gandalf The Grey stop it
just yesterday I was watching this video without knowing that one of the most important musicians in history had died. I have never experienced such an important death in my life as a musician, and now that he is not among us, the world is falling on me. This world will no longer be the same without him
agreed
These reharmonizations are simply genial! Thank you, Mr. Corea, for unselfishly sharing this treasure with us.
The word "genial" means "friendly." However, I've never heard of friendly reharmonizations. Perhaps you meant "genius."
or he may have just used the german or french term for genius, which is genial/génial
Exactly what I meant. Thank you. In my Bosnian language, ''genijalno'' means ''genius''.
Vic Toza well genial en español means awesome or great so maybe that. Either way hes right those harmonies are dope as hell
"Friendly" is a synonym for "genial" not a translation or meaning thereof. "Genial" translates as "characterized by genius", among other possible translations, hence a non-native English speaker Samir got it just right.
Today is a sad day in our music world.
The legend has transcended to another realm where he returns to forever...
but the legend’s legacy will never end.
Great way to leave behind a memory so people will play it correctly in the future. I wish more artists would do this.
Ain't it wunderbar?
Not sure about "correctly" - he is more doing a theme and variations, no two versions the same. New real book has the original version, this is the master reinterpreting his own masterpiece.
At least it is the actual AUTHOR showing you. He is now a MASTER. Follow what he ells you.
How much closer to the truth can you get ? No trolling needed whatsoever ... No corrections by visitors here ... no addendums. No opinions. He knows what he wants to show
That unique instantly recognizable sound. How Chick gets that out of the piano I don't know, those harmonies have always fascinated me.
3:28 pfft!...Chick: c'mon man....you're kiddin?: How ridiculously beautiful is that ending folks?
And it's pretty simple too! Genius
Best part is the light shines perfectly on the keys as they're being played. Easy to take notes. Thank you.
I've posted many comments expressing my grief at the loss of this musical genius leprechaun. I'm tired of the grief. I just want to bask in the joy that he shared when he played with his band. Look at the many youtube videos of him playing live. There's always a moment when he looks at the guys, and smiles. That is the joy of Chick. Thank you for creating the music magic, the complex bebop rhythm's of our life. RIP Maestro.
What a beautiful gift for us! Your virtuosity is overwhelming and hypnotic! Something I must share: I've been a disciple of your music through the decades. When my son was 7 years old, I was playing an Elektric Band CD in the car and when he heard Charged Particles, he became obsessed with it and your music! It was an amazing, life-changing moment! On 8/12/17, we went to Detroit (he from Orlando and I from Columbus, OH) to see you in concert. It was his present to me for my 69th birthday. When you opened the show with Charged Particles, it was indeed a very special, cosmic moment for us! Thank you for the continuum of astounding compositions and performances you continue to bestow on humanity! You are truly an anointed maestro and a beautiful human! God Bless always!
Dear Chick, thank you for the music and music 💔 RIP.
The days we live in.. you can not only see and hear in great detail what this great master is playing, But he also shares a lot of beautiful insights of his playing. There is no excuse to not evolve incredibly fast as a musician with all this benefits..we only need perseverance and, taking things from easy to this and beyond. I am closely to intermediate keyboard player but this still looks kind of hard to get my head around it. so i will save this 'lesson' and get back to it after i get better a understanding of the language and the voicings.
More than 50 years of Chick. His music will live forever. RIP Chick Corea.
The man is nothing short of a genius in the true sense of the word.
I was very high one night during my college days. I'd smoked some strong weed that made me very high, but gave me an exaggerated sense of awareness. I was alone all night, listening to a number of Chick's piano masterpieces, including his seminal album "Now He Sings, Now He Sobs". The music sounded magnitudes beyond angular and supremely atonal. Many notes were out of place and out of tune, yet the music was blowing my mind.
That night, I fully grasped Chick's genius and how deeply Thelonious Monk had influenced him. Said influence can be appreciated in spades in his second and third improvisations of this video. My favorite musician, and I shall play with you in paradise!
are you still stoned?
Thank you for your generosity! Great camera angle! Learned so much by looking at your hands. Once again, thank you Maestro!
Thank you. I have a lead sheet for Spain sitting beside me on my bench and a Slow Downer app. I’ve been working on those breaks and chords for months. This video is a great gift. All the best to you.
Learning this with my teacher rn
It's such a beautiful piece, one of the best I've ever heard for sure
Man oh man! Talk about talent? I've been playing for 4 decades. His effortless mastery and style is without peer. The fact that he's doing an overhead tutorial is incredible. Thanks a bunch chick!
I've always marveled at the level of peculiar dexterity in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th fingers of Chick's right hand. Never seen anything quite like it. Respect and RIP.
The song that got me in love with piano at age 13, and started me playing....you are will always be maestro #1 Chick!
Chick has Returned to Forever. Thank you for the love, some call it music.
Continue in power!
🎶💖🎹💖🎶
A masterclass in voice leading!!! Thanks Professor Corea!
I love how the original spain is kind of dramatic and deep and Chick's version makes people clap together whenever they hear the solo. Amazing work! Hope I can play it eventually!
Thank you so much! Absolutely inspiring for decades!
this Legend remains my best, he used all the possible interchnage, both harmonically and scale wise OMG
Thank you Mr. Corea for sharing this. It is truly a wonderful gift.
I love watching on the overhead video. It really helps a lot! And it's neat to see how effortlessly Chick makes it look.
this song never gets old, youre the best!
One chord melts into the other just so beautiful. A real classic! Thanks Chick for showing every detail, how to harmonize and work out the rhythmic aspect!!
I love how every time he alters certain chords one way or another. So much heavy genius in there.
If any artist who made such a piece like this is reading this comment, model Mr Corea's kindness, this content is a major contribution in the quality of learning of everyone
Thank you very much Mr. Chick Corea, youtube is a miracle!! It was worth waiting for this gift.
Please, make more of these tutorials with transcriptions. I love the way you play! Thank you!
Hey Chick...I'm relatively new to your music. Saw you once in TN with Bela a few years ago. This video is an incredible gift to share with us, and I just wanted to express my gratitude.
Those beautiful chords combinations ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻🙏
What we're looking at is a master pianist, especially during the second phase of his video, showing us mere mortals (slowed down a lot) how this song was chord & melodically constructed. There are lots of budding pianists who may have hear the tune, but need a 'visual' blow-by-blow as to how to follow. Chick is a master of innovative "Jazz". Therefore, those who are interested in this (relatively) complex piece, should point their eyes forwards.
:: I'm smiling and crying at the same time. Totally crushed and amazed. So long Maestro!! ::
The finest composition from the finest pianist!
Thank you Chick and the team. Massively helpful.
deeply feeling this right now -
god almighty. I've been listening to this song since I was a kid and it never ceases to amaze me. Chick you make it look so easy!
Thanks, Chick. I first heard "Romantic Warrior" in my friend's dorm room, Fall 1976. Your music was/is a beacon and an inspiration...
the run at 2:12 made me fall off my chair
I can't believe you're gone, Mr Corea. I can't believe you won't play again for us. Thank you for sharing your knowledge here while you could. I'll never forget your concert at La Défense, Paris, in the early summer of 2012.
Wow! such a treat to see and hear this from this perspective. Incredible.
I could watch this for the rest of my life and I don’t think I’d be bored of it even then.
This is fantastic. I am struggling with my ii, V, I progression... and here it comes an overflow of harmonies and genius!!! :)
Thank you so much for sharing! You are legend, and a continued inspiration. Love the reharms.
Chick, thank you for this fantastic gift... kiss from Italy
Rest In Peace to a musical genius who completely changed the way I look at music, both as a listener and piano player myself. I’ve always had a deep appreciation and admiration for Chick Corea. His music has accompanied many of the best days I’ve had, as well as some of the worst nights. I will never forget hearing this Spain for the first time. Something about the environment and color that his chord and voice selection made just hit me right in the face. His talents were otherworldly and I will forever appreciate the chance to hear this man’s music. Thank you Chick, may you Rest In Peace.
Thank you amazing inspirational Maestro for circulating and sharing your deep expertise, but generally the beautifulness of music and art.
Since many years i love and play Your wonderful tune, a source of inspiration for me. thank you Mr Corea ! :-)
Amazing Chick ! greetings from México !
Purely amazing....Thanks Chick
Merci beaucoup Chick pour ce fabuleux partage !
Never gets tired listening to this awesome piece of music
I love this song since ever ...it's always a great opportunity to see the "composer" and "Maestro "play it ♥Thank you indeed !!!
Rest in Peace Chick ! thank you for the music
Yes!!!
gracias Maestro!!! es muy necesario y bondadoso y valioso de su parte esta clase... mil gracias!!!
En paz descanse, Maestro ♥
Rest in peace, Master ♥
I love this it's a eye opener for me. Long Live The Legend Sir Chick Corea
❤
Amazing to find this . I must have listened to chic playing this with Bobby about 300 times growing up .
I'm so jealous of chics big fingers , very easy 10ths..
Thanks a lot Chick. You're a magical pianist !!
What a gift to see him play like this...
Fantastic! Best regards from Portugal.
Ok who transcribed this, I know one of you did. Absolutely amazing!
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing this with us!
beautiful chords!!
Thanks for posting this Chick!
This is unique,amazing Chick !!!
Didn't think it was possible but slowed down it becomes even more intricate and brilliant, or at least my mortal ear can appreciate it more.
I’ll never forget meeting Chick at Yoshi’s in Oakland..His demeanor and warmth forever solidified why I count him Living Legend #1 of the ivory..
Amazing, I was figuring out some of what he did on the classic Matrix recording the other evening, very inspiring. This is a top standard, Paco de Lucia and John Mclaughlin did a fantastic version of this in the 80s, there's a great live recording of them from Germany on here from around 1986 which I'm sure Chick would approve of!
Pure gold! Masterpiece.
Awesome gift, thanks so much Chick! :)
After finding out of his passing, this is the first song that came to mind and that last phrase @8:34 is what I heard. Thank you for all the compositions which opened the door to higher places.
Ah...so glad to have found this You Tube Channel. Been huge fan of Mr. Corea since the 1970's. Ahhhh...a YT Channel I can just click now when I need to clean my brain of clutter. And get my serenity back. Peace!!
Thank you, Chick! Great to get such a lesson directly from you.
I have “scanned” Spain from your Acoustic band and played it with my friends long time ago. I visited all your concerts in Moscow, including the recent one with Eddie Gomez and Brian Blade, and we even had a short talk with you after the concert. Hope to see you again, and maybe (who knows) you will come to Russia with the Electric Band :-)
Thank you for the music.
Return to forever!! Thank you Master!
I’m watching and crying. It’s like I’ve lost a close friend of 40 plus years. This musical loss has stung me like no other.
It's such a double-edged thing. It is so, so beautiful, but it makes you instantly give up trying. I find the acoustic piano version of Spain my favorite (esp. Akoustic Band).
I'm with you on that! Akoustic album one of the best jazz albums of all time
So many images and feelings...♥️♥️♥️
He has impacted every single Musician on the planet
I freaking love this song, Thanks Chick!
Beautiful!!
Chick, that looks so easy... Infinite and exquisite imagination. Thanks a lot!
Love you man! Thank you!!!
One of thee most prestigious keyboardist of our time! RIP! May the heavens embrace your talent!
Great! Thank you Mr. Corea for this precious video! I'm studying this tune at piano and the video is boosting my learning. ...between other key points here 0:39
So incredibly inspirational
With a heavy and broken heart I bid another one of my musical masterminds a sad goodbye. Irreplaceable!
What a treasure from one of the great Masters!!!
Fortuna di averlo ascoltato dal vivo,grandissimo,espressione latina💙💙💙💙💙
You are the one and the only in this World Chick..!!
i just cry, love it !
I can rest easy now. After Mr. Corea showed how it's done so clearly.. thx so very2 much for your time . The intro is the hardest of the song. Now I can play.. awesome thanks again..MAESTRO.. I SAW YOUR CONCERT IN MELBOURNE LONG AGO YOUR WIFE PERFORMED AS WELL.
Rest in peace great master !! ❤️❤️🙏
