Are there any keyboardist around here? Seemed like keyboard are more neglected nowadays.

it would be better if this topic would serve as tips or techinques in playing the keyboard. Escpecially some solos.

Currently i'm practicing some solos from The Black Mages

Hi amacharu,

Welcome to the forum!
Firstly, it's about time somebody created a keyboardist thread!!! Hope to see more keyboardist flock the forum and start posting some great clips & if possible, join the LYn jam too.
I'm wondering ermm... what type of music do you play???

welcme! its about time more keyboardists come here.

ps: i can barely play keyboards

Heh, I used to take piano lessons when I was real young! Stopped at Grade 4 heh... I feel like taking piano/keys up but I dunno where to start LOL! I'm too lazy to go through music scores and theories, so is there a shortcut, like guitar, to learn the chords and all??? I would appreciate it if anybody could show me the way!

Keep this thread alive.

well, i'm used to play pop (especially j-pop) and ballad for my band. But now i'm thinking to start playing some rock or metal.

currently i'm practicing this song

whoops..forgot abt that thread..thanks!!!

I play piano, I play keyboard, am I a keyboardist?

it depends if you define yourself as a keyboardist or not. Therefore even if you don't play keyboards nor piano, you can still be a keyboardist if you have the right attitude.

(cf "air guitar" for guitarist... same syndrom, different name...)

such as pix calling himself a keyboardist cause he finaly managed to type that using his computer keyboard

I'm a keyboardist too... was a piano student until Grade 5. Currently going for Grade 7 Digital Piano.

I'm a classical pianist, played for 15yrs so far, studied under some music scholarship...

But I am a trombonist!!!

nah well I'm a keyboardist as well. I guess you mean keyboard as anything which uses keys..
Which covers harpsichord, piano, digital pianos/keyboards/organs in my case.
Oh and yes, as mentioned, the computer keyboard as well.

hi guys...im new here and keen to learn keyboard...any suggestion on keyboards cause i will be buying 1 very soon...budget around 1~1.5k...thanks...

i think for that budget. maybe you can get a Yamaha or a Roland. I'm not sure about the exact price though

any models reconmendation for newbies???

yea... i can see the last question post for more than 4 months, can any pro keyboardist here recommend as well?? i'm planning learning keyboard as well.

After a few months, still no real keyboard discussions here?
Maybe we can discuss about the gear you have. or dream of having?..haha.

for Keyboard instrument - I have a KORG Triton Studio 61, Yamaha PSR630 and Yamaha Electone Organ..

Dream Gear: Yamaha MOTIF ES and KORG OASYS. sob...sob...

i have a yahama ps25, a very old model. recently, i mistakenly put handphone near it while i was playing. so it sound like this, tet tet tet tet (u know, the sound out of speaker when someone calling), then suddenly my keyboard jammed. when power on, it always sounded like hitting chords. dammit.

that time i was learning to play goodbye my lover- james tumpul. :'(
