Dear author, I want to thank you very much for this video. For the instrument itself, for this composition, for your playing. The fact is that about 3 years ago I accidentally heard this composition on your channel and this partially influenced my initial interest in the Rhodes instrument. After this video, through the chain, I met Marcin Grochowina on RUclips and finally made my choice in the direction of Rhodes. And as for this video of yours, at the beginning of my journey I spent a very long time making a similar arrangement, and later I even started my own RUclips channel, where I display my creativity. Once again I want to say thank you very much and good health!
It’s great to watch and hear the different physical synth pianos before the rise of famous ones. Both are remarkable. Love the muted and quiet sound of this
For some reason in my earliest memories of hearing music i recall hearing this very same fender rhodes tone. Living in long island as a child and having this had been my parents wedding song I heard this tune ALOT. not even kidding when I say this is my favorite piano cover on all of youtube. I can close my eyes and I'm in second grade at mt pleasant elementary school again. I'd love to hear another billy joel song on this piano
I had the same exact Rhodes when I played with a band in the late 70s. I had to sell it when I needed money and regret it to this day. Thank you for the playing this beautiful song that exemplifies the Rhodes sound 🎹❤️
Absolutely succulent sounding Rhodes. Dripping with fullness and character. Then there's the perfection execution of the playing. Far better example of this song than anything I hoped to find, frankly. ...tone of that keyboard is just sick. Mine is great sounding but this recording is ridiculous.
Eu não sou pianista e estou querendo aprender tocar guitarra, mas esse cover do Billy Joel no piano Rhodes eu tenho que comentar porque ficou muito bom. Esse tipo de piano tem um timbre bem anos 70 e é o tipo de instrumento que os artistas não usam mais em suas músicas. Parabéns pelo cover. Se o Billy Joel ouvisse esse cover acharia muito bom.
This video may be one of my favorites on RUclips.. Whenever I'm feeling sad or whatever, I always come back to this video... that melody, that incredible sound, the way you arranged it reminds me every time how much I love music, my first and last love. Thank you so much for this
Best rendition of this classic I have ever heard...masterful and tasteful approach which is so spot on and a perfectly tuned Rhodes which nails the original track. It really doesn't get any better than this people. No self-indulgence here either...he just serves the music, just the way it is...pun intended. What a joy! Thank you for this it made my day!
+pianistjustforfun Just curious, I have an old Rhodes and need to tune it and start practicing...you have inspired me big time to get back into it. Did you tune it up yourself? Any recommendations for any sites that can help with getting mine tuned up like this? Thanks again and you have a new fan! Bob
tuning pitch is quite simple. you can do it yourself with a digital guitar tuner for example. just move the springs in the right direction. whole restauration is very complicated...
+pianistjustforfun Ok, it works just needs adjustments...I will try to do this I'm pretty handy I recapped my tone generator on my RT-3 (a real pain) so I should be ok. Thanks again
The sound is fine, the playing awesome, the best cover i have ever heard, and the view on your hands allowed me to learn the song on my piano : a thousand thanks, god bless you
So many here write about the sound. When I find something like this I first of all look how he is playing. And your playing - makes me happy. It is absolutely flawless and I love in particular the precision of your rhythm. So I really hope that you became successful as a piano player and lead a happy life. You deserve it!
Bruno Mars is a great artist, but a long way from writing classics like this... Amazing performance and what an instrument. Thanks for sharing this here!
Spot on! This is such a Beautiful Song and you play it well. I love the easy piano. RUclips recommended your video because I listen to a lot of piano pieces on RUclips. 😊👍❤❤❤
It's also a demo song on my super basic yamaha ez-200. I grew up with it and now that I found out the full name of this song, I found I like the one on my keyboard more than the official song on the album
the sound is always a combination of a lot of different things together e.g. hammertips, EQ, pickups, tines-adjustment, effects, the way you hit the keys etc. if your´s is too dark sounding check the hammertips & tines first...
pianistjustforfun hi, I am trying to get towards that sound with my 1975 Mark I Rhodes but I am getting nowhere... how did you make that recording? Would you mind sharing what was along the signal chain? Did you mike an amp or use some preamp or just sent the sound through an audio interface inside the computer and then used effects etc inside computer?
The first time I heard the jazz instrumental version of this song was way back in 1978, 2 versions actually, 1st is by Boy Katindig and the 2nd one by Ahmad Jamal, both versions were superb and I listened to them countless of times, now I have a 3rd version to listen to , great.

one of the few god things that came out of the 70s

I feel like youtube's been recommending a lot of this old stuff to remind us of the good old times.

I like your outlook my man
Trust me... RUclips has no interest or awareness of “the good old times.”
Good tiNes.
@@scottmccord7552 This is true...RUclips algorithm sends like videos to your feed! Besides...RUclips employees are all 20 somethings lol.
Back here to listen to this again after many years. Still a fantastic performance. Thank you.
It is physically impossible to only listen to this once.
Oh man so well played sounded so beautiful those old Rhodes really sound dreamy good 🙏👍
This song is why Rhodes Piano is my favorite instrument. It's so gentle and calming.
9 years later and it still hits just as good 😁
11year later too.
One of the prettiest pop songs ever written.

I come back to this video all the time. You're killin it on that rhodes. Awesome work.
So you´re the one who is responsible for all those clicks... :-)
+pianistjustforfun I feel kinda bad - there should be more clicks from me, but I recorded it and put it on my iPod to play in the car years back. :^)
Looks like I might be the first one here - see everyone a bit later when the algorithm adopts this video! Good work dude.
It's been adopted
It really has. Which is good. Very well indeed ☺️
This is literally 8 years old, you’re not the first, lol. He was great though!
@@CephaLynchPod that's not what he meant. It is being readopted or rediscovered by the algorithm. See all the new comments and recent discoveries.
It's successful bro! Good job!
Beautiful playing of a true classic man! 1978 lives again!
You played that Rhodes like cuddling the sound of a water drop. I got goosebumped like literally
A great performance of a beautiful song, on one of the most lovely sounding instruments ever built. Gotta love the Rhodes.
Single release of this cover 2021-03-08 on Amazon Music, Spotify, Apple Music / iTunes, Napster, Deezer. See video description above.
Excessively excited for that, this is the most meditative video I’ve seen on this website

Absolutely love this song, I hope one day I can play it on an actual Rhodes
Oh man!! The sound of that Rhodes is so good I don't even miss the phaser!
Just a gorgeous sound. I didnt like mine when I was a kid and now I see what I have on my hands. 1979 too, but mine is a mark II stage 73
Chet Baker once said " If it sounds right, it is right". This rendition sounds heavenly.

저는 한국인이지만 미국 노래 just the way you are를 너무 사랑합니다. 빌리 조엘도 좋아하구요. 너무 감미로운 전자 피아노 연주에요. 눈물이 납니다.
Out of all "Just The Way You Are" covers, this one still triumphs and resonates with me ten years later.
This is the real Rhodes sound in all its glory - beautiful!
Impecable interpretación e impresionante el sonido en el Fender Rhodes Piano, Excelente uno no se cansa de repetirlo y disfrutar...👍😎👻
Reminds me of better times even though I didn't exist when this instrument was at peak popularity.

Beautiful song, beautiful tones from the rhodes. Well done!
This cover has the same magic as the original composition.
You have made me emotional again.
Congratulations.
What a beautiful rendition! From here to the moon!
A lot of American TV shows used the electric piano. I love this song well played ❤
Woww.. the real Rhodes.. thanks for this awesomeness! Your playing funastic!
Bringing back my soul to 70s era. Where there's no gadget and many other complicated things. Life was so simple.
that´s true, i was a kid back then... ;-)
Awesome played, fantastic sound from that Rhodes!
yes I am another who can not stop listening to this cover....
👍
I can feel the warmth of the sun with this song even in Siberian winter.
Amazing sound from this old Rhodes electric piano. The player is also quite skilled...
Beutifully played and wonderful instrument.
Smooth af!! Nothing like a Rhodes
I never get tired of this one
Esse é o melhor. A execução mais agradável. Perfeita. Parabéns. Lindo mesmo.
So smooth love the vibe... talented indeed . Fender Rhodes ...nothing like it.
I like the way you walk the left hand!
Very cool. Love the Rhodes. It remains a quality sound. Excellent.
I used to have a casio keyboard when I was a kid and this was the pre programmed kind of example song it could play
I remember the same
Best pleining👍🎶
Me encanta el sonido del Rhodes, y mas con semejante melodía ❤. Cuánto quisiera poder tocar asi .
Beautifully played wow.
Brilliantly played! My ALLTIME favourite Billy Joel song and he claims it to be his worst!
Least favourite rather than worst.
Probably cuz it was ex wife
wow. that's many hours. And hours. Simply beautiful like a big bass that's released.
11 years ago? This is still very fresh, musically to me.
Always loved the sound of those pianos. Sounded great.

Excellent cover. The Rhodes sound always reminds me of Donald Fagan and also the first time I discovered neosoul. Love it.
There's too much Loveliness in this video!
This tune was the demo song of my old yamaha pss 270 keyboard. You brought me back to my childhood :) Great playing btw!
It's also a demo song on my super basic yamaha ez-200. I grew up with it and now that I found out the full name of this song, I found I like the one on my keyboard more than the official song on the album
Espetacular. Que performance!
the sound is always a combination of a lot of different things together e.g. hammertips, EQ, pickups, tines-adjustment, effects, the way you hit the keys etc.

Nicely done! Straight up ear candy!

Mi hai fatto tornare al 1979 !!! :-)))

Damn! 😳 brings back great memories! The sound of Rhodes is just so sweet!💚 thanks for making that video! 👍
Nice work , really enjoyed listening to!
I thought it was the Bruno Mars's one, but I found something better. This Rhodes has a great sound and makes me feel relaxed 😍
Es un gusto escuchar un tema tan hermoso, sobre todo cuando se respetan los acordes originales de Billy Joel 100%
i really want a Fender Rhodes piano!!! ...
perfect sound!!!
Excellent. Enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks.
Simply beautiful.
“Recommend for you” - I couldn’t agree more 😀
