DREAM THEATER KEYBOARD EXPERIENCE - Featuring Jordan Rudess
Not just a songbook, but a total experience! Note-for-note keyboard transcriptions of nine keyboard-intense Dream Theater songs from 1992-2007, plus amazing full-color concert and behind-the-'boards photos, and a personal Q&A conversation with Jordan Rudess in which he reveals details of his playing style and the experience of jamming and writing with rock virtuoso bandmates Dream Theater. What's more, Rudess wrote special "exercise" pieces to precede each song, each focusing on a challenging playing technique unique to the corresponding Dream Theater songs that follows. A must-own collectible for all fans! 212 pages.
Titles: Blind Faith (Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence) * Home (Metropolis, Pt 2: Scenes from a Memory) * Honor Thy Father (Train of Thought) * In the Presence of Enemies Pt. 1 (Systematic Chaos) * In the Presence of Enemies Pt. 2 (Systematic Chaos) * Lines in the Sand (Falling into Infinity) * Octavarium (Octavarium) * Space-Dye Vest (Awake) * Take the Time (Images and Words) * The Ministry of Lost Souls (Systematic Chaos).
Purchase this book at Jordan's online store
Signed copies are limited to the first 50 customers! Jordan's signature appears on the inside cover.
WHAT THE FUCK? How the hell this fucking bald guy dares to ADD "Take The Time", "Lines In The Sand" and our beloved "Space-Dye Vest" to the songbook? do I have to mention that those songs are not of his creation? This motherfucker has gone too far away... ¬¬
Ok... maybe I'm overreacting with "Lines In The Sand"... |

Hahaha... I think it's cool, at least KM will be getting his name out there some more, right? Royalties too I'd imagine.

This makes no sense to me at all. Last Saturday, I sat in on a Ruddess video chat in which fans asked him questions and he answered. One fan asked Jordan what he thought of SDV and if the band would ever play it live and he responded by saying that he has never even tried to play the song. He asked the fan to play the opening notes on his guitar and Jordan then figured out the notes on the piano. So if Jordna never played the song until a week ago, how is it in his songbook?  ? |

I know. Even in his video chat he said the band doesn't want to touch the song live because it's Kevin's song and it's personal. Could it be that Jordan doesn't know exactly what went into the songbook? Is that possible? I mean, he said he never even tried to play SDV himself, so I'm shocked that he would include it in the book. That doesn't seem right.

Heh... maybe I'm not talking about any remaster. maybe i'm just dumb. But i DO know that the copy of awake my brother gave me years ago surprised me with super different vocals for the last song which i later found out to be Kevin singing. Then when i downloaded it again much later on cause i didn't have the disc anymore i was surprised to find that james was singing. am i crazy? |

You're not crazy, the first release of SDV has LaBrie on vocals, only after DT did Moore record it the way he wanted it done.
