Because women are incredibly competitive. And also because your own confidence is high when a pretty lady accompanies you, and the others are drawn to it. Nothing gets you women like having one!

Yeah, that's usually an awkward situation. lol

Favorite brand anything would be silly. Unless you're an endorsee or you're rich, you ought be looking for these qualities: - sound - features - reliability - price and absolutely disregarding whether the brand name you've chosen meets the approval of the herd. My current kit's Yamaha, but I've owned Ludwig and PureCussion in the past and got good use from them. And my current cymbals come from Sabian, Paiste, Zildjian, Atlas and Wuhan.

Yeah, I just looked at those keyboard tabs too GREAT stuff!

And the request was made weeks ago. By now, it could have been learned by any number of suggested methods had VH1984 chosen to do so.

He has five hands - only two are visible though I'm lucky to have these guys playing with me; I'm definitely the weak link in the group. Which is a GOOD thing as it drives me to improve my playing Why VHS? Because I can simply turn it on and let it record the full session. I hate futzing around with recording equipment when it's time to play. I just have to make sure the guitar gets on there next time.

Very cool! I'd love to hear that composition performed live, with guitar and drums and Hammond and flashpots & bombs going off

ok, I finally have a recording of my new band to share. http://www.soundclick.com/util/DownloadSong.cfm?ID=227548 The drummer & bassist are kickin'!!! That's me on synth & clavinet. The guitarist is inaudible on this (it was a live recording on VHS and when the drummer asked for less of him in the monitor he also disappeared from the tape lol); it's unfortunate because he's awesome.

I had a few of the same complaints even before I bought it - but at $500 new (at that time), it was too good a deal to pass up. Design and construction are very good IMO. With some tweaking you can get a decent-but-not-great Rhodes sound from the Vintage Keyboards expansion card. The Wurlys are pretty good on that card too, as is one of the Clavs. And if you're willing to really play with the programming, the card has one or two useful Hammond sounds. As for the standard onboard sounds, the solo cello is pretty good and one of the solo horns is nice. The grand piano is quite good. There are plenty of other useful sounds there.

The actual url for this is: http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/moneychords/lesson.html though I hate reading tab - give me notes on staff any day. [ 02-10-2002: Message edited by: coyote ]

Thanks Steve! You have to understand I was a bass in choir - when I say my vox ain't cut out for that range I mean it! The original actually has a different melody - I modified it to notes that work within the scale but that I could hit. And the drums are OK I guess. It's sloppy, considering that a decade ago I was a professional drummer LOL The synth is a JP-8000 which, with some tweaks, can sound quite Minimoogish http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif The lead gtr sound ain't great but I liked the feel of that practice take so I left it there.

I posted this in another thread, but had to change the URL. Here's the new one... http://artists.mp3s.com/artist_song/1869/1869469.html

Hi all, I'm Mike, and I'm now addicted to keyboards http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif And just for today, I'm gonna indulge that addiction! I was a pro drummer for over a decade - club date, jazz, rock, etc. I also played lead guitar in some original acts, and bass in a couple of bands. But I always loved keys, especially Hammond organs. So when I got a house a few years ago and finally had space, the first thing I did was get a Hammond! I now have an A100, along w/ some other fun toys. The latest addition is a Roland JP8000, which being a retro prog- & heavy rock fan I use to emulate Minimoogs & whatnot. Check out my website: www.geocities.com/coyote-1 The next addition will probably be a Yamaha P80 piano. It's light, sounds great (esp. Stevie Wonder-type tremolo Rhodes) and feels great IMO. Wish it had a clavinet sound though; then I'd be able to lose the Nanopiano. PEACE
