As a guitarist, tbh if you don't think of this preset as something that's supposed to sound like a guitar, it actually sounds pretty solid in its own right
It's the sound of a distorted hammond organ, a very common classic rock sound, it just sounds a little "bad" because he's playing an octave higher than the original and Nord's distortion isn't very good
I think it’s really interesting that the tone may sound vaguely like a guitar but the solo was very much a piano solo. The guitar and piano have very different conventions and things that are basic when it comes to soloing, it’s almost like their foundations are different. Motifs played on guitar sound very strange on the piano and vise versa. It’s also very hard to emulate the sound of the other in solo style.
Fax, they’re totally different instruments with different methods of playing so that makes a huge difference. I make music and trying to make a guitar part with a piano will just never ever sound the same. The closest I can get it is with just plain chords and then inverting the notes so the chord would “make sense” on a guitar
Yeah, that's a very accurate description. Also, playing a keyboard like you usually play it while using a very realistic VST of a non-keyboard instrument is a certified way of entering some kind of _"musical uncanny valley"._
Yeah, guitar soloing is all about intonation, subtleties, palm-muting, slides, bends, vibrato, the position and depth of the pick, and it's all not something a traditional keyboard can do. I mostly play piano though, and love both instruments, don't take me the wrong way :)
@@user-br9th4ei6v Good point. Reminds me of that guy who has a video "When you want to play solos like slash but your parents made you learn piano". Seeing him with his wah and pitch bend knob made me aware how much a guitar solo is not the notes that are played, but how they are changed and shaped after they are first picked.
The design of the piano inherently emphasizes small intervals such as the second and third and the guitar emphasizes larger intervals like 4th and the 5th, thats why solo phrasing naturally is so different, you can learn to solo like a pianist on guitar (and many jazz guitar players do) and vice versa but it’s definitely a bit odd to learn the muscle memory
for those who think keyboards can't get a good distorted sound, just listen to Deep Purple. Jon Lord's solos are insanely good and he rocked the hell out of his organ in Highway Star and Burn
I even closed my eyes before hitting play so I could really concentrate on the sound and pretend it's an actual guitar that's been played. A couple of seconds to this and I realised "Well well, yet another joker..."
Tony Banks from Genesis played a fuzz electric piano and it sounded awesome. You can hear it on their song The Musical Box from 5:47 to 6:47 and again dueling with the guitar until 7:40. Also there's a band called Caravan that used fuzz Hammond organ as a lead instrument. It's all over on the Land of Grey and Pink album, especially on the song Nine feet Underground
Yooo I know your vids are memes, but really they're still very good musically, what is a good thing to start ptracticing so one can achieve a level of musicality like yours? Some tips pls, i just started studying jazz piano
I played jazz trumpet a bunch, and a little bass. Mostly leads on trumpet, I wasn't ever much good at soloing. But the thing I heard repeated by countless teachers, pros, books, etc. was the importance of trying to learn music by ear, or to try to transcribe music you're listening to yourself. Even if you're no good at it at first, it's a very valuable exercise that is useful across all instruments. If you're just starting with that, it might be helpful to try to find another person's transcriptions to check yours against after you make yours. Plus this is a way to learn bits you like from music you hear, kind of like learning the words in a language that you can mix and match to make your own sentences and messages.
He explained it already in a previous video. Kinda messed up to expect someone to take the time to explain something to you when you havent taken the time to look at their stuff yourself.
@@kinoweiss702 Obviously you haven't looked at his stuff hard enough either, because all he said about learning Jazz was that he hated classical piano, took music seriously at 16, and then attended some type of music university. That explanation isn't really a technical run through of how to get good at jazz lol
the rhodes and the hammond are both electro mechanical instruments which use pickups, not entirely like an electric guitar which is part of the reason they all (including the guitar) tend to sound really good together.
Hammind is electronic, not electromechanical. It uses a square wave oscillator run into a bunch of TFF circuits to create the different octaves and layers them before running into a tube amp and rotary cabinet.
>ya know that one song from the 50s? Which one? >the one that starts out like 0:06 Oh wait, you mean 0:06 >no no no, it's the one that goes 0:06 Oh like this 0:06 >YEAH
Before the video started playing i got an ad but instead if just playing the ad instantly it started buffering for a few seconds... I am convinced that few second buffer was the algorithm trying to figure out if it should play the simplypiano or the simplyguitar ad. It went with piano in the end.
Impressive how he matched up his keyboard playing to the actual guitar that was obviously playing off screen. You gotta get up PRETTY early to get one past this guy. 👈
Since everyone is talking about awesome distorted key sounds: - Billy Joel's band right before his solo career, Attila. Hammond run through lots of overdrive - the organ solos in Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Distorted lines played by Steve Winwood - obscure early 2000s Michigan stoner rock band 500 Ft. Of Pipe. Distorted Rhodes piano action from Russ Westerbur
This was suppose to be an oldie... Well, an oldie from where he came from. Also, I ain't ready for that sound yet. But I sure hope my kids are gonna love it
You guys weren't ready for that sound. But your kids are gonna love it.
best comment
honestly that's the only thing i relate this song to at this point
Back to the future a whole mood
Probably true, unironically
Pretty mediocre photographic fakery.

@@Russocass And that was Deep Purple's whole thing right? Kinda clean guitar and hard distorted organ
No! Sorry it does not sound like a guitar. Somebody did it better years ago with Ensoniq plus external distorsion.
I think i got a decent guitar tone on my keyboard-

This actually sound more of a rock organ than a guitar
I agree
That's what I was thinking.
I think so too. it seems pretty darn normal for a rock organ
Yes
Thanks, came here to say this. No idea who would think this sounds anything like a guitar, except for someone who’d never heard a guitar before haha
It sounds like when you dip a speaker underwater.
have you tried that?
So, a Leslie cabinet?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 mood changing comment
As a proffesional speaker dipper, I totally agree.
"Hello Chuck? It's your cousin, Marvin Berry. Remember how you told me you were looking for a new sound? Well listen to this!"
I guess you guys weren't ready for that.... But your kids will love it.
Lmao, i thought in the same quote XD
💀💀💀
Wow. That sounds exactly like my guitars. I'm off to by a Nord instead 😂
Experiment time!
Buy lol
@@calvinbeck5020 Yes, I made a typo. Wow. Much disaster 😂

Bad ending: it's a Flamenco gig
another timeless classic what a quote
for those who think keyboards can't get a good distorted sound, just listen to Deep Purple.
Jon Lord's solos are insanely good and he rocked the hell out of his organ in Highway Star and Burn
Agreed! Jon Lord is amazing!
Jon Lord omg his solos were so good
I hear deep purple, and my mind instantly moves to 0-3-5... I may be sick
Keith Emerson and Dave Stewart of Egg too, my God could they play a sick organ solo and have it sound like a whole other instrument
Lazy by deep purple is insane
How much distortion do you want?
Yes.
This person is really good at soloing on keyboards like a guitarist. If that makes sense
yeah.. it sucks
This actually sounds like a cool organ/guitar mishmash of an instrument, as long as the notes aren't held too long
the "guitar chords" are just the screams of the damned
The rolled chords actually do imitate the sound of a strummed guitar a bit, just not the long sustained notes or the quick notes.
As a guitarist, i took this personally
I even closed my eyes before hitting play so I could really concentrate on the sound and pretend it's an actual guitar that's been played. A couple of seconds to this and I realised "Well well, yet another joker..."
"You guys aren't ready for this, but your kids are gonna love it"
Boss will release a pedal that sounds just like this in 2028

One of the best prog albums

@The Jakob Hallett Nerve Centre hell ye
@@Syfoll Both. I really liked both
Nice! A man of culture I see 😎
Not the shade XD "Sounds just like a guitar... and by that I mean atrocious" 💀 lol
That's how an organ patch would sound if it had no reason to live.

@@Riyamu0779 I guess I imagined when he literally said what he practiced and how he practiced to build his "musicality"
@@kinoweiss702 i dunno if i missed a video, but he just said that he learns by ear and learnt licks to improvise, and not much else about how
Wow, that playing was actually really good.
that's what I was thinking. some clean playing right there

Loved that Centerpiece quote. I just played that in a concert with my school swing combo
It's like fourth gen Pokémon music, love it
that's actually super good no cap, he played jonnhy b.goode if anyone is wondering
but the fact that you played it so *smoothly*-
Sounds like a bee mated with a Farfisa organ.
With two hands you could make the whole band😂
It doesn't sound so much like a guitar. sounds like an organ
As a guitar player, my hand hurts just thinking about those chord voicings.
the organ sustained note was so satisfying
I'm guitarist and this is offensive.
This is why we have no more guitar solos in new songs :(
>ya know that one song from the 50s?
Which one?
>the one that starts out like 0:06
Oh wait, you mean 0:06
>no no no, it's the one that goes 0:06
Oh like this 0:06
>YEAH
That final chord sounded like something escaping from the gates of hell, 10/10 rock on
I died when you felt instant shame after singing in your head lol!
You really got me when you said, “And by that I mean atrocious” 😂😂😂😂

This is genius
First!
Sounds like an overdriven hammond solo
Sounds like some good good John Lord
I thought the same when I heard it!
It sounds like a guitar as much as I look like Timothee Chalamet
This is straight up art ❤️
To be honest this sounded pretty good
Sounds like a Hammond, which is not a bad thing. Just not a guitar.
Tbh it sounds sick it sounds like an elp organ tone
Ngl the solo tones are badass. I’d go nuts if someone did this live.
That tone is just the organ in any early Stereolab song
Perfect! Thanks for holding it down! My imaginary kids were doing imaginary kid things all morning. An imaginary nightmare. *straps guitar on
sounds like a mix between a hammond organ and a clavinet, i love it
It didn’t sound anything like a guitar, but it was a great solo and I thought it sounded cool!
Duuuude that sounded good I would be seeing my grandparents act young again if they heard this
Impressive how he matched up his keyboard playing to the actual guitar that was obviously playing off screen.
You gotta get up PRETTY early to get one past this guy. 👈
THIS DUDE IS SO UNDERRATTED HES SO GOODDD AT ARRANGING THESE, HOW DO U EVENV COME UP WITH IT BRUHH
Nah this just Sound like a Classic Rock Organ still Fire though
Sounds nothing like a guitar but that that sound actually fucks so hard tho
Ikr. It sounds awesome
"The more I want you pretty baby, more I feel my love increase"
Why did I sing along?🤣
Damn that was impressive! Speaking from someone who does not play guitar but wants to put down guitar riffs on his tracks
I would love if this became a new rick roll lol
He did the thing where we sing with our guitar. Thank you maybe now they'll understand why I must sing.
0:39 the one moment I keep coming back for
Hi, I'm a guitarist. And I can say, this sounds EXACTLY like a guitar! Mod on a keyboard.
Since everyone is talking about awesome distorted key sounds:
- Billy Joel's band right before his solo career, Attila. Hammond run through lots of overdrive
- the organ solos in Traffic - The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys. Distorted lines played by Steve Winwood

I'm here for the licc >:3 my favorite part about jazz
This sounds like a guitar, in that if I had to explain the sound of a guitar (vocally) to aliens, they could be excused for coming up with this
"Great Scott"
now i know a guitar is just a distorted piano is just a rotary organ
The pain~ it's too accurate-!
-The pianist guitarist
I knew it was going to be clickbait, I clicked anyway, and I don't regret
I love this! can't stop listening to it.
That was a beast organ solo!
I love this place…
0:52 oh my, what are these angelic sounds
Fr thought that the start was the start of revolution
Try a clavinet patch next time, you can get a reasonably close sound with some distortion on there
You are summoned before the Guitar Lords for Profanity!
I'm gonna tell my kids this was deep purple
Nice organ solo!
This is amazing
Yo this is actually so fire tho
virtuosic and funny as always. I love your channel!
Doesn't sound like a guitar but damn I love that b3 style sound
This was suppose to be an oldie...
Well, an oldie from where he came from.
Also, I ain't ready for that sound yet. But I sure hope my kids are gonna love it
Who needs guitar players anymore when synth and keyboards exist!
It's not the sound, it's the way you're playing it.
That was the best 58 seconds of my life
I need a full long version of this lmao
What a wonderful guitorgan.
**Laughs in funky clavinet** this just sound like keys that absolutely rip. Pretty rad tone, has some mean energy. Subbed lol
Well, nice rock organ there buddy
guitar: 🎸
keyboard guitar: 👁👄👁⚡️🎹⚡️
Continues to play a piano solo while trying to mimic the guitar.
Guitarists: *THAT'S ILLEGAL!*
sounds like organ to me. and it is
0:52 Sounds like it's dying laughing after it sees its other keyboard buddy fall off a stand.
Thats not only keyboard thats also a freaking SYNTHESIZER
And that is the whole idea of the band Emerson Lake and Palmer
Pretty tone. Like a flower.
Just getting here before the algorithm does it's thing
bro that solo was sick
