To those that have said they cant hear or follow the melody, I have no trouble doing so, but it helps if you know the hymn. This is an improvisation on the hymn -" it is well". This means that it's a piano solo played with total freedom in exploring as many aspects of music theory etc., that he cares to explore. You would not play it like this in church with a congregation, or accompanying a singer. This illustrates the possibilities that are out there in the upper realms of improvisations. It's terrific, it's tuneful and relaxing and I love it.!

@Geff Estime I just looked up a picture of the back of this board. If you pause it at 2:14, the cords on the far left are connected to the midi ports. The one that's connected on the right is the power cord. The audio out ports are on the far right that aren't being used in this video. So he's probably using a keyboard vst for sounds from his computer. They have some very nice sounding ones out now. MkSensation and Keyscape are two that I've used, and they sound better than some boards out there.

It takes years to remember the board to do that. I can sometimes do it in certain keys. C major A minor and E minor I have trouble in. But his styles reminds me of myself he's just so much better at it. The runs and movements I have some of it but not as percise yet but I will have it this year Lords willing. I will put the time in to do it. I have the hand speed and the chord progressions just not the diminished movements down yet.

don't mean to rain on anyone's parade but what kind of church would you play like this? I play a little for different churches and I can't think of one that would be able to connect with this type of play....I know the song and still lose what part of the song he's playing from time to time....So my big question is, isn't this too much? Or is this just contemporary gospel take it or leave it? One reason why I ask is, most of the time I hear a song like this being played the way I'm use to, I'm usually moved by it but I can't connect to this, too complex...Now with that being said, I would love to be able to play like this, but just not sure gospel would be my preferred venue though...

This is the perfect rendition of something you would listen to on a CD purchased for listening at home or in the car or wherever; not gig/service style of playing at all. As a matter of fact, a VERY refreshing rendition of a commonly redundantly interpreted hymn.
