Description

On the show today, we have the keyboardist from the band Dream Theater, Jordan Rudess.

it was a big pleasure being able to talk to Jordan for an hour or so, picking his brain on music, music theory, piano playing and more.

Even though I wasn’t an avid listener of Dream Theater growing up, I was very familiar with their music and their skills as musicians and songwriters, so it was great talking to Jordan, and I hope you will enjoy this conversation too!

In this interview, we spoke about:

• Studying at Julliard from 9 years of age

• The fascinating aspect of piano vs guitar

• How Jordan writes music with Dream Theater

• How Jordan approaches harmony in music

• Jordan’s practice routine and how he developed his technique

• Being able to play fast lines whilst knowing what’s going on

• How Jordan made a living before joining Dream Theater in 99

And much more
