YOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Amazing !!!!!
@Coldchi. Got an interesting question for you. While I was getting my guitar restrung ar Guitar Center I went in the back to mess with the keyboards and synths a bit. I played a Yamaha keyboard (can't remember the particular model) but I do remember the price was $4400. It reminded me of my Yamaha Clavinova 805 in terms of feel that I play in my home studio. Interestingly enough I then went over to the Nord stage 4 piano and played it. To my surprise I didn't like how it felt AT ALL!! When I switched to 7th chords it was uncomfortable. I couldn't play right like I'm use too. Not sure if it's a different in size in the keys but Yamaha feels more comfortable for my big hands. I may just be a Yamaha guy. I was looking into a stage piano as well for when I start performing outside of my studio. I know your a big guy as well. I was eying the Nord 4 but I'm not so sure after sitting down with it. Yamaha makes excellent stage pianos as well. What are your thoughts on all of this? Do certain brands feel different and more comfortable?
For a while, they all felt uncomfortable because I was so used to playing my Roland. But now, they all kinda feel the same.@Coldchi. Got an interesting question for you.

Now if it's a keyboard that doesn't have weighted keys....I don't even bother with it. Feels like it's not even a real keyboard if the keys aren't weighted......throws me all off.
When i do buy another keyboard, it'll either be a Roland Fantom or the Yamaha MX88

Yeah. Maybe if I played if a little while longer it would have felt more comfortable. But it was just interesting cause that other Yamaha felt great.
Currently working on this song
Alain is nice wit it.
i like doing diminished walk ups and drop 2s when i play.
if i have time, i'll post an example tomorrow
Thanks. I'm getting better on the piano. Syncopation in both hands are getting much better with using the sustain pedal.
Good practice routine to work on.
Do you ever try practicing some of your favorite songs? Will help with ear training to assist in creating your own sound and will help with hand syncopation.
Last song I really studied and mastered was Moonlight Sonata, but that was 15 years ago. Super easy (quarter and eighth notes). I need something easy and beautiful to practiceDo you ever try practicing some of your favorite songs?

Don't worry about it being easy or hard. Practice things that are appealing to your ear and rhythm. That will help you with creating your own sound. That should be the ultimate goal. Think of some more songs you like and learn the chords on Youtube. Get an understanding of different sounds and combinations of single notes.
You got any YouTube channel recommendations?Don't worry about it being easy or hard. Practice things that are appealing to your ear and rhythm. That will help you with creating your own sound.

Keep checking back here buddy. I always post some good Youtube stuff here. I'll look for some good ones I've used already
My man. Definitely trying this out. Thank you brother
Good Arpeggio exercise
thats why i love my keyboard. i can upload patches via usb from other brands like Yamaha, Korg, etc......i just can't use Nord patches.
I bought the MKSensation Xtreme 2.0, which has that Rhodes patch......still havent used it yet tho.
Interesting song to learn. Helps with octaves.
e
can't help but love that sound man.
No matter how many patch combinations i used on my Roland, nothin can mimic that sound. (Unless you happen to use MKSensation Xtreme 2.0)
Thats the only software i know of that can give you that true Rhodes sound if you're on any other type of keyboard.
