stoken6 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (With apologies to Moe) 1. Thou shalt never leave keyboard amplification in the hands of a sound contractor 2. If thou usest the transpose button, thou will forget to to turn it off for a concert-pitch tune 3. A keyboard player is never the one to be too loud 4. X-stand fails will get you eventually 5. Your purpose in life is to show guitar players how to play that #11 chord Carry on... Cheers, Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cphollis Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Here's what I thought they were ... 1. Thou shalt refrain from playing a piano part on unweighted keys, nor synth/organ on weighted keys. 2. Thou shalt refrain from use of the vile transpose button, lest thou be smitten with forgetting to reset it. 3. Thou shalt strive to take tasteful solos that never runneth on. 4. Thou shalt help the lesser guitarist musicians understand the difference between a C6 and an Am7. And tell the bass player what note to play. 5. Thou shalt not tolerate unprofessional musicians that harsh your vibe, nor clueless venue owners. 6. Thou shalt not trust any equipment (keys, amps, mixers) other than your own. All liquids shall be kept at a safe distance. 7. Thou shalt have plenty of wattage in reserve, but refrain from using it. 8. Thou shalt never, ever play through a KC series amp, lest your sounds become permanently unclean. Want to make your band better? Check out "A Guide To Starting (Or Improving!)

rce1 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 The prophets Wakeman, Lord and especially Emerson spent a LOT of time showing off for the women. What do you think the organ wrestling/knife stabbing thing was about? Or the open chest costumes? Or the sequined capes? Or the windmill sweeps? Did you really think that was for the pimply faced, pubescent, aspiring, mostly male keyboardists in the audience? And, by the way, I used to resemble that remark.

mate stubb Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 A few more: Thou shalt learn to solder well enough to at least fix a cable. Thou shalt not use rompler organs and call thyself an organist. The bottom 3 drawbars are the power, the middle 3 the spice, and the top 3 the sizzle.

xKnuckles Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 And if thy left hand reacheth for the root note of a chord: cut it off lest the blood of the bass player should be driven to an unnatural pounding in his veins.. And if thy right foot reacheth for the damper pedal too often: cut it off lest it cause offence to the ears of the discerning member of the audience. And if thee ever feeleth tempted to resteth thyself on a stool during a rock gig: ..... ( ...... .......maybe not.....)...... Standeth up immediately and get thee down and boogieth....

TommyRude Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 12. Thou shalt seek out the pocket. 12a. Upon finding the pocket, thou shalt strive to remain there. 13.
