  1. Hey guys! I've been lurking here for a bit and I decided hey I may as well post. My name's Colin. I'm 17, from Sydney, Australia. I've got a classical background, (finished my last grade earlier this year) and I dabble in guitar. Although I do like Bach and Albeniz a whole lot, I like rock, blues, funk and jazz a whole lot too. I don't actually own an electronic keyboard myself and this fact was actually the reason why I joined this forum (so I could get advice about what keyboard to buy) but I think I'm very strongly inclined towards a Roland FP-2 or a Korg SP250 (or any decent keyboard that has decent sounds, good organ and clav is a must and speakers because I'm too lazy to use headphones and amps for practice). I play in a band (basically I play upright piano, old organ [the drummer's mum is a church muso] and guitar). I guess you'd describe us as sorta fusion blues funk and rock, improvisationary and eclectic. After being wooed into the keyboard world by joys of the organ, clav and Rhodes sounds when we had an impromptu jam at the school music night on the school's very old weighted Roland on the e.piano setting, I've been itching to buy a keyboard to play and practice some more exciting sounds. Presently I'm practising on a Kawaii baby grand, which I also love. I would love hone my chops upto scratch and learn Voodoo Chile (15 mins of glorious Winwood!) note for note and I guess most of my influences would be Deep Purple, Santana, some acid jazz stuff like Rumblefish (they're a korean band) and Jamiroquai, and stuff like Buddy Guy, Cream and Led Zeppelin. (and some Stevie Wonder, Chick Corea, Art Tatum, Erroll Garner and the stride guys and Gershwin. but I think my chops are sufficient for whatever the guitarist, drummer, sax and bass throw at me, though there is a lot of room for improvement before I'm even halfway to where my heroes are. So yeah.. I guess that's it. I feel very priveledged to join this forum, everyone seems to be very devoted to their music, very professional and very helpful! Look forward to geting to know you guys and participating in this wonderful community!
