As a 20 year old that loves rock and just discovered ELP today, I’m extremely jealous. Only people I’ve seen live are Santana, Stevie Nicks, and The Black Keys 🤦♂️ Music today blows man
Awesome work!!! Forever grateful that you’ve made it possible for me to be able to play this song I’ve listened to since I was about 10 yrs old. What voice is on the bottom keyboard? Many Thanks!!!
I was interested to see how you end the second bar of the main melody. It looks like you use first finger and thumb on the D to get those last two 16ths the first time through, and the second time you bounce your thumb?
@@Crezelltree4261 Keyboards are interesting in that they don't repeat the same note as easily as they can go from one note to another, especially on the piano. In the "Hoedown" melody, the phrase in the second bar ends with E G F# D D so the challenge is to get those last two Ds to sound cleanly. At the tempo ELP usually played the song at live, one would be hard-pressed to play both of those Ds with the same finger (I use my thumb) so a better alternative is to go first-finger and thumb on the same key with just the tiniest of silences in between.
I think for the most part Emerson played much of the right hand part just as Copeland wrote it so if you pick up that score it's pretty much all right there.
Beautifully done!
WOOOOW!!! Even Keith Emerson would applaud you !!!
Thanks! I wish he could, just because he would be still with us.
Of the approximately 70 ELP concerts I attended, I saw/heard Keith play this about 25 times.

LOVE this performance. BUt where is the tutorial part! Too fast to learn from it!
Slow the video down and watch his fingers.
Nicely done sir! 👏😊
Thank you!! 😉
Amazing work - I wish I could play that as flawlessly!
Thank you! But actually there are a couple of imperfections.
muito bom
Fantastic! Thanks.
Can’t stop watching this, fantastic work here.
You're welcome!
Great job. Keith would be proud.
WOWOWOWOW this is seriously damn impressive
Simple!
Such a fun piece and it was done so well. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment!
BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EXCELLENT! I love the slight embellishments you added to a few of the phrases. Something Keith might have done in "live" performance. FANTASTIC JOB!
Thanks for your comments and getting in touch!
Yee-haw! Awesome, man!
Fantastic! Bravo
Excelente !! ! !! Como se fosse um tutorial.
great job
Awesome!!!
respect, nicely played
It's like watching Thing play ELP. 😊
And I only Just understood the spectrum-shading. Instructional videos need that. Kick it!

What voice is on the bottom keyboard?
Many Thanks!!!
The bottom keyboard is a RD2000. There are some voices there that make up the organ and brass for the solo bit. Thanks for your comment.
Muito bom!
Now do it at the live tempo. 😁
WOW! Keith would be proud.
Thank you!! 😁
Copying the master. In my book that makes you a master.
excellent! and now you can rest.
How come skipping "polyphonic" fragment in the final ?
Where's the tutorial!!!!!??????
Is in the view
I LOVE potatoes!
Fantastic who is this person?
an EL&P long time fan :)
Hi very well played! May I ask how you got the intro synth “gliss” ?Is it a sample?
Yes, I've sampled it from the original ELP song. ;)
I like potatoes and ELP !
Nice!🗿
I was interested to see how you end the second bar of the main melody. It looks like you use first finger and thumb on the D to get those last two 16ths the first time through, and the second time you bounce your thumb?
Yes! Good catch! But there is not a rule... sometimes I use first finger and thumb and some times I bounce the thumb.
Wish I knew what all that meant.
@Craig Ezell Is about how and which fingers hit the keys to play the main melody. ;)

Super job! How do you do for bass and drums? How can I get them?
I'm playing on the original released on Trilogy... Just adjusted the equalizer to hide as much as possible the organ
Hi, What equalizer do you have?
@@tarkus28 Is a freeware called AudacityPortable. You can make a lot of change with that software.
Ok thanks
Looks easy enough. Not!
