Man sometimes the pianist either be too far away, they don’t have a mic setup by the piano, or the worse is the pianist dont wanna get up to let you play for yourself lol
Im an ear trained musician.., but I played for a pastor that had all kinds of degrees in music, classical, pipe organ etc.., for many years. No joke, this was a regular routine between us on Sundays, I can't believe I played for him so many years.., I know I'm going to Heaven for putting up with that every week!!! Lol.... The accuracy of this video gives me flashbacks and kind of traumatized me a little bit...
Can we appreciate the skill it takes to simply execute this? Brother had to follow himself playing the wrong thing, then switch to the corrected version making it look impromptu. This is amazing. God has blessed you. Blessings on Blessings.
Okay. You're a good one Kevon. I got tired after the first chord change. I remember the time when my ex-husband was trying to correct my playing. I was so heated that I politely got off the organ and told HIM you come play it for yourself!!! Then I walked out of the church. Needless to say, he did hop on the organ to play it, but he quickly realized that I was right all along.
I’ve experienced something similar in the secular world doing covers gigs when the singer has perfect pitch. They will let you know if you’re missing a b13 on your dominant chord. It keeps us sharp but at what cost 😆 But after the initial panic, I have love for each of those moments.
Awww man!!! That is soooo true!!! I play for a preacher who is also a church musician and he does that crap all the time! I be wanting to say, “Negro, you just come play”!
I'm so comforted knowing that others feel my pain.... The Pastor I played for for over a decade was obnoxious and rude with his antics all the time... Lol.. But he really was a master at the keys..
It's a absolute hot mess.. I know of plenty keyboardist and organist who refuse to learn every key. They have about 3 keys they play in and refuse to learn anything else. You dont know how frustrating it is to learn a song in one key but the musician is like I cant play in that orginal key so we have to shift the entire song. But the thing is you as the singer/choir/praise team aren't aware it until it's time for practice 😔😳
I play and sing and I have to say...just go ahead and play it yourself bruh. Most of the times when this happens not only has there been no rehearsal, but you don't even know the soloist or their singing style! I mean do you run like a track star? Do you just stand there and flat foot sing(I'm from Ga.)like Mahalia? Do you employ vocal acrobatics like one of the Clark Sisters? These are just a few of the things one needs to know if you want them to accompany you successfully.
I feel for many guys who didn't really like the "preacher's" attitude. A member of the team with who you rehearsed may not be like this. But then I think his chords suggestions added more spice. That can really be a boost to his flow in delivering his words. Let's just be able to give the chords when the time calls for it.
I grew up in backwoods country churches. I can feel this so much...... there were some I accompanied that there wasn't even a key on the piano that they sang in.... that being said, they sang with all their heart mind and joy and despite it all pure worship even off key is still worship... Many of them have now gone on. i miss them. We had one sweet lady that we suspected she sang in the key of Z. Precious memories Back in the day it was the COG keys C D F G If you could do that you were good! lol
So true' so true ! just a few weeks ago a musician / preacher asked me to go to to F major and he started to sing and then told me i was to low for him ; granted' i knew immediately he was in Ab when he started singing...you are absolutely correct..
🤣 Back in the 90s, Twinkie was singing and tearing the place up at a COGIC fathering in Bridgeport, CT. At some point while she was doing some runs, she shook her head at the organist in disapproval then proceeded to slowly walk over to him. The organist looked at her like "is everything ok? Whachu doin'?" She said in her kindly demanding voice, "move over baby...let me get on this." She sat down, changed some knobs, got her settings and played the chords she wanted to hear. The crowd got hype, the musicians encircled her with "oohs", "aaahs," and ugly faces and everyone showed her love. The organist was doing fine. Fun fact..that organist was a teenage Deon Kipping.
Best church keyboard player I've ever seen was in a small rural town in Uganda. Random congregation members would just stand up and start singing, any random song in any random key. Then others would join in with harmonies, but wrong so it would turn into a different key so it'd be like 3 competing keys, and tempos for that matter. He managed to wrangle this so the whole congregation could join in, as well as work a little drum machine too to keep time. Absolute chaos that place lol.
I would have stop playing when he started calling out the cords, and motioned for him to come on over and play for himself. Every musician is different and have there on style. I sing and play but I only let people I know can follow me play for me. Sometimes it's best to do it yourself..I really enjoyed this video thanks for blessing us with your many talents and comedy..♥ ☺
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!!!! Man STOP!!!!!! 😀😀😀 The accuracy of this video is cracking me up. I love the imitation. We still love the Lord though with our pickiness 😄
Dude, I love your videos. Funny, great playing, good vibes all around. That first "D major 7" is like, "Huh? Ok, that's a little weird...", but then when "he" calls it at the end I knew what was coming. Hilarious stuff!
The absolute worst singer to accompany in church is the : WE HAVENT PRACTICED THIS WITH THE AV TEAM so we got to WAIT UNTIL THEY GET THERE ( that’s my position : AV team , they NEVA PRACTICE B4 WE GET TO CHURCH so WE GOTTA BE THE GUINEA PIGS
I was accompanying for Les Mis auditions all weekend and had some interesting ones … One singer skipped verses (2 pages ahead) then went back and did the missed verse … Another thought it was a good idea to turn 4/4 into 6/4 every few bars in parts of song normally sung in solid 4/4 time …
Despite the weight of truth that this whole thing holds😭 Can we just take time to appreciate that we were given a mini tutorial for the keys of this hymn!! 🎹🎼
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Too funny...but they get on my last NERVES! I would've gotten up and let them play and sing. Keep doing ur thang bro. U bring Truth and laughter at the same time.1love n JESUS
The worst is when they do those runs and don't tell you they're coming. Just choosing violence on a Sunday morning.
Choosing violence on the day of the Lord, how they even dare.😂
😄😄😄Factz
Made my day
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂v
Is it a thing that you have to tell now?
Can we also appreciate Kevon’s vocals ??
Yeah bro mans got sum pipes💯
We can
I mean he did that!
I mean he did that!
Yea, they're *_brilliant_*
They should play for themselves at this point 😭😭😭
EXACTLY! I felt that! 🙌
Pretty much 😅
Yup, i would just get up
Right?! 😂
Man sometimes the pianist either be too far away, they don’t have a mic setup by the piano, or the worse is the pianist dont wanna get up to let you play for yourself lol
I could play NONE of that on cue…I would have thrown the piano at him! Lol

Well he was not playing the wrong thing. Just another chord structure.
yo i heard u like blessings
Bro, B.o.B? Just came across that 2 minutes ago for the first time. Prophetic y'all.
The stress on the musicians face. 😂😂😂
I can definitely relate to this.
I try not to have that

but they just do the most.

Lol, that's a good one. I know that exact feeling. 🤣
Amen Church...
I've been a church keyboardist for years. I feel you. 🤣🤣🤣
I can't TELL you how many times I've had to accompany people like this... especially pastors who can carry a little bit of a tune! Lord, deliver!!!🎵🎵🎵
When I tell you they tear my nerves up!
I am stressed out! Brother musician needed a rehearsal if he wanted all those changes…
That “was blind “ part was sick🔥🔥1:23

I'd be like "huh just take the keyboard. I don't have time for this.. Are you gonna sing or play"... Very patient though.

Omg am I so annoying ??😭🤣🤣🤣😭😭 This is so me, I'm sorry for the pianist now 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
I applaud musicians who knows how to follow. Often they are taken for granted. Be kind to the person accompany you, they can mess you up!
Definitely Kevon, you are a genius! Cannot stop laughing. You're always right brother. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The story of my life …. 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️as a pianist first and vocalist. Whew!!!!
Those are the kind singers you beat over the head with your keyboard!
THE VISUAL! 🤣
"But I really LOVE singing!"
- and that's not helping.
This could also be titled: “twin brother musicians that can’t agree how the song should go”
He making that man play in every key lol
He needs to bring his butt over to the piano and play it himself!
Wow, that would drive me nuts! SN, you stay killin' vocals on the low, lol!
When the Spirit moves in rehearsal(s), the Fire catches on during the service. 🙏 #subscribed #liked
This is very much practical during Rehearsal sessions and practices.. Lol 😆... Nice one smooth hello
Then they come to you after service about your playing 😂
And have the nerve to Slick reprimand you!

At this point just play it yourself 😄
I will give the credit to the keyboardist 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

"Tha aa aa aa aa a a aa aa aat saved"

I don't even play but I've witnessed THIS very thing, so many times. LOL 😂
If a singer does that to me, I will respectfully tell him/her to come play.
Dude, I love your videos. Funny, great playing, good vibes all around. That first "D major 7" is like, "Huh? Ok, that's a little weird...", but then when "he" calls it at the end I knew what was coming. Hilarious stuff!
Lost it at the "one up top, have the five on the..." 🤣
💯 💯 💯 💯 💯
😂🤣😂
Very true, even in Canada 🇨🇦 and overseas.
Thanks Bro. Kevon
This is one of the most realistic and hilarious from you. Keep it up.
Boy You Funnyy!!!! I Sing and Play but I don't Be Calling out Chords to the Musician..
Everybody think they gonna have a guy like Mike bereal back them up smh
LOL right?!? I’d put up a poster of his face right behind the key board and leave 🎹👤✌🏾🤸🏽♂️🚪
🤣😂😅
So many memories....so much comedy. Thank you for this 😂
That’s some humble, patient pianist.
Brr, you're good! 😂

The absolute worst singer to accompany in church is the : WE HAVENT PRACTICED THIS WITH THE AV TEAM so we got to WAIT UNTIL THEY GET THERE ( that’s my position : AV team , they NEVA PRACTICE B4 WE GET TO CHURCH so WE GOTTA BE THE GUINEA PIGS
"I felt that"
I never knew I needed this channel !
No but really this man is EXTREMELY TALENTED‼️
This is one of my favorite videos of yours Kevon 😂
I was accompanying for Les Mis auditions all weekend and had some interesting ones … One singer skipped verses (2 pages ahead) then went back and did the missed verse … Another thought it was a good idea to turn 4/4 into 6/4 every few bars in parts of song normally sung in solid 4/4 time …
U really nearly killed me with this one. I hurt from laughing 🤣
What's the first thing a singer does in the morning.... Puts their clothes on and goes home.
Pastor I don't know that song you know.
DO NOT TELL ME WHAT KEY TO PLAY IN 🤣🤣🤣! Lol, I’m not even a musician! 😅
My Pastor has went and got on the organ and played for himself and sanggggg!!!! R.I.H. PASTOR KENNETH L. STEWART, HOUSE OF PRAYER M.B.C. FLINT, MI
Your expressions and your playing are really smooth 😂👍
I love this! 😂
This brother is TALENTED!
😂🤣😆🤣😂🙌🏾. both the playin and the singin was on point even wit all the flats minor 7ths 😂🤣

Lmaooo!! Love it! Great music! And the cueing of the final “e chord” 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much! What an altered piano lesson here!! 🙌👍

First of all... this is amazing!
Secondly, did you record the vocal first or the piano? Either way, very impressive!!! Keep it coming!

😂 Greatings from 🇩🇴 you're the best
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Too funny...but they get on my last NERVES! I would've gotten up and let them play and sing. Keep doing ur thang bro. U bring Truth and laughter at the same time.1love n JESUS
It's more frustrating for the singer, believe it... lol
After you said Gflat, my soul felt that beautiful
Treating the musician like a music robot lol. This whole inspirational moment should have been rehearsed 👀
Yooo, the description made me spit my drink out.....
😂😅😅😅 Guy you are good!
I saw enjoy your RUclips video clips, great job, I get a great chuckle. :-)
The look of resignation on the pianist's face at the end was my favourite part.
Mi woulda geh him the keyboard fi play 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wish that I could play piano, especially after watching this! I shouldn't want to, but I do....still laughing!

That was my cousin at my great aunt's funeral.
