You, sir, are a phenomenal musician! It's dudes like you that inspired me to become a musician as a kid. I was a classical pianist and composer until a massive stroke robbed me of my left hand.
You are so good, I have to request some more.. 1. Dont Stop Believing - Journey 2. Hold The Line - Toto 3. Year of the Cat - Al Stewart 4. Smalltown Boy - Bronski Beat (E -Piano) ...and an Italian.... 5. Caruso - Lucio Dalla (piano strings layer) Thanks
ok ok , lest recycle ourselves...never is too late, maybe we can connect our old guitars to our computers... and make them sound a bit better! ahhahahahah
I was inspired, very entertaining and fun. You have clear got the talent but more to the point your delivery was most warmly received. Thank you, I hope one day to say thanks with a hug. :)
That keyboard does not by far sound like a piano. It does have a nice sound, but not like a piano. Personally, I do not think there is a keyboard out there that actually has a nice piano sound. First off, there are no weighted keys on a keyboard, so that will make it already impossible to even approach the touch and feel of piano (let alone the sound). If you want something to sound like a piano, get a piano. Or, if you don't want the real deal in the house, get at least a digital piano. There are some pretty decent ones out there around, starting at $1,500 I am not commenting on the video, I watched it all and liked it - so thanks Dr. Mix - but when playing piano riffs, please use a (digital) piano, or call them Keyboard Riffs. Still, thumbs up.
@This is a synthesizer, that comes with a powerful FM synthesis engine alongside sampling, and is by no means a toy. and the MODX also come in a 88 keyed version with weighted keys. The Modx have the same library as the Yamaha Montage and, which is the flagship by Yamaha. With 8 dynamic layers and high quality samples, this can compete with stage pianos by brands like dexibell, Roland, Nord and Korg. Of course it Piano sounds sound better when played on a weighted keyboard, but the 61 key version and 76 key version are in return very portable and great for organs and more synth related sounds.
@ no awesome piano sound has to sound like an authentic piano if it sounds awesome in its own right, right? there are more than plenty of pianos that sound dull and generally unpleasant in this world. why immitate when you can overcome obvious shortcomings of cheap pianos? just compare the sound of the swiss cheese piano from your videos with the sound of the MODX. it's like switching from gramophone to SACD.
This is a nice starting point! Now let's really rock out!! Here is my list of what I'd love for your to cover (in no particular order) Bon Jovi - Runaway Stratovarius - Black Diamond Lionel Ritchie - Dancing On The Ceiling Guns n Roses - November Rain Take On Me - Ah Ha Great Balls Of Fire - Jerry Lee Lewis Erurope - The Final Countdown The Doors - Inna Goda Da Vida Dont Stop believing - Journey Soft Cell - Tainted Love Corey Hart - I Wear My Sunglasses At Night Deep Purple - Highway Star The Who - Baba O'Riley
Another brilliant video, no faff, just the details - man you are so good at just giving us what we need, and not banging on irrelevantly. Also the skull is freaking me out!
Mate, i've played for the past 40 years. Trained by the best at the Royal Academy of Music in London. You hitting those last chords of the entertainer with those soul, jazz chords.... NICE !!!!!!
Your videos are my absolute favourites, they inspire me. I've just started piano lessons and and in learning production with Garageband (soon to be logic) At 40 I'm a bit late into the game but I'm living every second of it. Thank you for your videos they mean a lot to me ❤️
I mean... as a Modx player... who loves piano... to watch Dr Mix do a video on famous piano piece... And he does it using stock Modx patches!! Talk about validation ❤
Love these videos. Could we see the possibility of famous House Music piano riffs in the future from you guys? I know you'll knock them out of the park!
Dr mix is amazing. I’d be keen to know are you jazz or classical trained and what was the highest degree of training did you get to. You are very entertaining and I love your vids man. Thank you for sharing
Just some suggestions: 1) lonely man by joe Harnell ( incredible hulk theme) 2) Where everyone knows your name by Gary Portnoy (theme from cheers). 3) Desperado by Eagles 4) Green Door by Jim Lowe (Also by Shakin' Stevens) 5) Beer Barrel Polka by Liberace
Some of these literally shook me up!! ;) thanks a lot and keep showing more riffs, please :)) ...hold the line from Toto, Runaway from BJ, Pink panther from Mancini, Mission impossible from Schifrin...so many and so little time to play!
VERY NICE Dr. And what a great piano sound from that keyboard. I struggle to get VST's which are convincing enough (with a couple of exceptions). Great watching how effortless you make it look. Respect. :)
Jamiroquai. Travelling without moving is a legendary album. Play the CD all the time. Virtual Insanity was instantly addictive the first time I heard it- same album also has samples of a Ferrari engine which any true Italian can appreciate.
Jamiroquai always have really interesting chord progressions on their keyboard stuff, with all sorts of altered extensions and suspensions. Matt Johnson from Jamiroquai has a great channel where he shows cool keyboard ideas and talks about synths etc.
Man!!!! that Elton John preset you used was soooo sweet. Was it one you made up or a factory one? Also, do ya ever get sidetracked by the skull going round and round?
You, sir, are a phenomenal musician! It's dudes like you that inspired me to become a musician as a kid. I was a classical pianist and composer until a massive stroke robbed me of my left hand.

Small town boy .-...wow...YES YES YES please !
Am I the only one who wanted you to carry on Bohemian Rhapsody? :)
as if nothing really mattered
Let's do it:
Mama... just killed a man
mama, life had just begun...
As an aside, just been and seen the movie... highly recommend it, Rami Malek is uncanny!
Mama ... ooooohooohooooooo
I started singing ☺️
Next... Top Synth Riffs
Van Halen - Jump
@@musikk83 I was think more along the lines of Alphaville and Eurythmics
Separate Ways - Journey
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Electricity, Bronski beat - Smalltown boy, And anything from Tears for Fears.
Tom Sawyer.
Dr Mix.. making guitarists everywhere regret their life-choices.
Hahahaha!!!
hahahahha fuck......another more here!
ok ok , lest recycle ourselves...never is too late, maybe we can connect our old guitars to our computers... and make them sound a bit better! ahhahahahah
ha ha >)))
Right, i chose guiar by dynamics, i only played poors arrengers, thats sound plastic..
I was inspired, very entertaining and fun. You have clear got the talent but more to the point your delivery was most warmly received. Thank you, I hope one day to say thanks with a hug. :)
Aww thanks!!!

The ending of The Entertainer is cool! This video will provide me with good practice material.
Yeah, that was very nice, and smooth --
I can watch you playing riffs for hours!!! Man, you’ve got that groove... 👏👏👏
Your videos are my absolute favourites, they inspire me.
I've just started piano lessons and and in learning production with Garageband (soon to be logic)
At 40 I'm a bit late into the game but I'm living every second of it.
Thank you for your videos they mean a lot to me ❤️
Just like education, it’s never too late! Way to go my friend!
5:09 sounds absolutely amazing
Excellent! And some like that:
- The great gig in the sky
- Bridge over troubled water.
I mean... as a Modx player... who loves piano... to watch Dr Mix do a video on famous piano piece...
And he does it using stock Modx patches!!
Talk about validation ❤
You have such a nice studio. Absolutely terrific.
Awesome! That was just a cool, fun, laid back demo.
I have a MODX 7 and this board is so much fun and the possibilities are practically endless
Love these videos. Could we see the possibility of famous House Music piano riffs in the future from you guys? I know you'll knock them out of the park!
Yes, this ^
yes indeed, so many classics to choose from too. where love lives, asha jj tribute, playing with knives etc etc.
This is a great idea
Doctor Mix yeah looking forward to that, hope you guys make a video or two on House Riffs
Dear Doctor Mix, What a truly talented musician you are, I enjoy your playing very much...Thank you for sharing the joy of your music, with us!!!!
Dr mix is amazing. I’d be keen to know are you jazz or classical trained and what was the highest degree of training did you get to.
You are very entertaining and I love your vids man. Thank you for sharing
I LOVE this!!! Thank you! Please keep doing this. 😍
Especially the view from above so we can copy the riff! 🙏🏻🎄🎁
This is still one of my favorite videos you have made. Thank you for your hard work.
OMG!!! Your interpretation of Mr. Joplin's "The Entertainer" was brilliant!!!
Just some suggestions:
1) lonely man by joe Harnell ( incredible hulk theme)
2) Where everyone knows your name by Gary Portnoy (theme from cheers).
3) Desperado by Eagles
4) Green Door by Jim Lowe (Also by Shakin' Stevens)
5) Beer Barrel Polka by Liberace
That Virtual Insanity was the best interpretation I have heard so far on youtube! One of my favorite songs! Great job!
MODX is a sound beast.
Mr. Mix, I have to say I'm amazed, by your talent. Love what you do, keep it up!
"THE ENTERTAINER"...alucinante interpretación
I love "Linus and Lucy". I put it on every so often 😊
Oooh, that keyboard sounds awesome! Loved the riffs too!
Heart Alone is another great piano riff. That would have been awesome to hear that one on the MODX.
Love it! Saving up for my MODX, still contemplating whether it's a MODX6 or 7
The way it is.... This list would be endless. Goid work mate! Love your vids
I can play about 4 crappy chords, so this is very inspiring. Well done.
Oh man! You guys are on fire! This is awesome!! My man is KILLING IT in these videos!
Another very cool video! Thanks Dr Mix! Looking forward to playing this over and over to learn these tune segments!
Linus playing peanuts, you got me with that one.... also the Entertainer is one of my all time favorites, thank you!!
AWESOME way to start the day! Thank you! More please. Btw ... LOVE your MODX. Just got my MODX7 a couple months ago.
yessssssssss
It’s incredible, isn’t it?
From Spain. Congratulations!!! Everday I need to listen Dr Mix.
That version of The Entertainer was amazing. Beautiful ending ;)
Awesome, Top Synth Riffs: The Final Countdown, Jump, Walk Of Life, etc
Beaultiful and unforgettable intros. Thanks !
Don´t stop believing - journey... the best riff
Génial ! La classe, l’humilité, j’adore... 👏👏👏
Merci bien ☺️
I think he's so good because of all those magical rings he wears.
Some of these literally shook me up!! ;) thanks a lot and keep showing more riffs, please :)) ...hold the line from Toto, Runaway from BJ, Pink panther from Mancini, Mission impossible from Schifrin...so many and so little time to play!
What a great musician you are. Great video as always!
For the next piano riff video please do the intro to "Saturday Night, Sunday Morning" by T-Empo. It's my favourite of all time!
Wow!
As a multi-instrumentalist I like to own at least a little piece of your piano skills :-(
I love to see you play!
Gah, Who are the noobs that thumbed this down? Dr. Mix is always excitingly entertaining! Keep up the good work my friend.
😁👍🏼🎉 I love your take on the entertainer!!!❤️❤️❤️ That is smooth playing!!!
VERY NICE Dr. And what a great piano sound from that keyboard. I struggle to get VST's which are convincing enough (with a couple of exceptions). Great watching how effortless you make it look. Respect. :)
Wow I loved the Entertainer ending. It was GrEAT!
I think I've now seen this video like 10 times. It's one of my favorites.
Very humble human being and talented , respect to you my friend !
Will you do killer queen?
no still DRE..
~ No, but if you listen closely, Dr. Mario kinda makes an appearance. :-p
Classic Peanut > Dre
Thank goodness. I didn’t want to be bored to death
He does Still Dre on his classic hip hop piano riffs video
Still no DRE...
Genial Dr mix no sabía que habían genios como ustedes virtual insanity
You have un-intentially given the best demo of the modx pianos🤪 thankyou!
Jamiroquai. Travelling without moving is a legendary album. Play the CD all the time. Virtual Insanity was instantly addictive the first time I heard it- same album also has samples of a Ferrari engine which any true Italian can appreciate.
From The Maple Leaf Rag to The Entertainer. Very classy. Keep up the awesome work.
People usually play early Elton John, not knowing he never stopped creating beautiful piano riffs, like The One. Thanks.
I can't wait until i get enougth money to buy the Modx8 i'm in love with the sounds, Awesome video as always! Keep it up! Greats from Netherlands!!
Fantastic! Thank you for sharing your good vibes with us. Maybe some "how to play this 'n that" tutorials...? It would be great.
Linus and Lucy song - all kinds of feels!! This is excellent
The harmonics on the bass piano samples of that keyboard are crazy, it's like they come from a giant Bösendorfer.
Virtual Insanity! One of the best songs of Jamiroquai... And one of the song of my teenage years... Thanks!
That Modx sounds great! Nice riffs too
Inspired! Many thanks for uploading :)
That outro in Scott Joplin though! Almost evil to keen hanging for as long as it did 😨But how nice it was when it finally became finished!
Jamiroquai always have really interesting chord progressions on their keyboard stuff, with all sorts of altered extensions and suspensions. Matt Johnson from Jamiroquai has a great channel where he shows cool keyboard ideas and talks about synths etc.
All top notch even the Jamiroquai bit... PROPS to you Sir...
Every riff played perfectly Doc!
Can you tell me the equalization of the pianos ?
One of your best you such beautiful piano player you rock love it
How do you like that MODX? Ever consider doing a review of it?
Maybe you have .. but wish on couple of those you showed how you setup the piano sound. On a couple I could see the Performance name used. Thanks.
Queen On the Top Place !! Where it belongs !!
Man!!!! I love your playing style... i have the modx to and i love this keyboard.
I like your Entertainer: Descending bass notes. I go opposite. CEFF#(ie diminished). Next bit same as you. Keep up the good work.
you make me believe it's possible to play with both hands, thx bro
That entertainer inovation was amazing 🔥
Can you let me know what programs you are using on the MODX?
Your bloody good on that piano mate. Love it.
man this brought back some memories
What about the piano solo from Telegraph Road by Dire Straits?
Cheers
Daniel Fletcher of D.S. (a swedish synthrock / synthpop group)
Your videos are great man. Hello from Brazil
Thank you for a great video.
Love this "beauty in pills" videos, it's definitely a series now! Keep'em coming, they're so inspiring! Thank you!

Wow, I did not expect for The One to be on here!
Btw , it ends with a beautiful piano solo
Absolutely fantastic, dr mix are great.
I Love your Yamaha montage and how yo play
Amazing I love all your play
Especially Billy Joel Elton John and The Entertainer
The jamiroquai song it’s amazing ! I will learn this introduction!
Thank you for sending a beam of pure happiness in my direction 😀
Man!!!! that Elton John preset you used was soooo sweet. Was it one you made up or a factory one? Also, do ya ever get sidetracked by the skull going round and round?
djGreenALERT it’s a preset mate but you can layer it
