Hi everybody,
I'm new to the board and the instrument. I played bass in rock bands for several years, but am now in law school so I don't have time to gig. Bass is not much fun by yourself, so I'm trying to learn to play keys. Great fun so far.
I got a 49-key USB m-audio controller an sale, use free vsti's (Mr. Ray, soundfont player with free piano, etc) and it's working out just fine.
I bought a bunch of books, and so far the two from Mark Harrison (Blues Piano and "the Pop Piano Book") are by far the best.
Anyway, there's a nice collection of folks here on the board, and I wanted to say hey.
