    When you hear someone performing the song solo like this, you realize not only what great talent it takes to play the piece correctly, but also what a remarkable composition this was in the first place. Bravo!

      Not to take away from her skill one single bit, even sighted musicians don’t depend on sight very much to master their instrument. It is muscle memory, practice, and feel that fully run that engine of mastery. By the time you’ve looked for confirmation, it’s too late anyway.

      @@artysanmobile Indeed. This is why I have such an issue with touch-screens as a human-computer interface paradigm... granted, there's a degree to which even these can be used by folks without sight... just... sighted or no, they can't be used with the same deftness as something that has physical shape and consistency and feedback the way the keys and knobs and such on these keyboards present themselves.

    • @kemibe
      @kemibe 4 года назад

      What's funny is that everyone seems to agree that the sound of the organ compels the "sound" of the other instruments. Yet when you listen to various backing tracks, it doesn't work that way in reverse, even though in the native Boston version you'd swear the guitars and drums practically drown out the organ; it just sounds like someone riffing a deft but not especially striking sequence power chords. The whole song is so masterfully produced that the whole is like five times the sum of the individual parts.
      I figure I have about three more months of an hour a day of practice before I can play this quasi-perfectly at the required rate of 9 notes per second. (At half-speed, it sounds like something from "Twin Peaks.") And if you miss even one of those notes playing this song solo, it's as bad as hitting a wrong note and makes a huge dent in the overall performance. When you get to the parts played as chords, it almost feels like you get a short nap as a reward for just getting there.

  • @gooberthoreau

    The fact that people are blown away by this piece, and then you realize the guy who wrote it and performed it originally is actually known for being an outstanding guitar player and not an organ player at all (not to even mention his production and technical genius). Tom Scholtz is just a crazy talented man, and maybe above all, an amazing songwriter.

In addition, on the record Barry is covering all electric rhythm guitar parts on Foreplay and Long Time and Barry is playing all of the leads on Long Time as well as the huge power chords in Long Time.

    What an amazing woman you are.
    I'm an old man of 66. . Saw and heard Keith Emerson when he played with the Nice, in Coventry town hall in the 50's. Pink Floyd were the warm up band, and Jimi Hendrix was top of the bill.
    Later I worked at nights, first as a roadie, then as a sound engineer.
    No one's music touched me like Jimi did. . .
    Till I heard you thru RUclips Rachel.
    There is something so human in your playing.
    You have given me a great joy. . . and I am so thankful, both to you, and the support and encouragement of your Mom, for making that happen.
    Sleep easy lovely lady X
