Jose EB5AGV Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I think it would be interesting to have a thread where there is a compilation of videos, being yours or not, where the keyboard player is seen (if possible, not just a brief moment) and is also heard. I am not just looking for virtuoso playing (but any video which has the commented properties will be welcomed ππ»). In fact, mostly the opposite, as if playing is too fast and / or complex, it may be harder to follow π Β The aim is educational, to learn both what to play and also to discern key parts from others. At least to me that is sometimes hard to do without a visual reference. Β Sorry if you find this thread unsuitable / boring / too basic ππ» Β Thanks!

JamPro Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Ummm....be careful what you wish for..... Β I recently discovered that the keyboard player for a local Dead cover band does a semi-regular live stream of himself playing keys and singing.Β Here: Β Skip forward to 10:00 to get right to the playing. Β I have to say I am sort of impressed that he does this.Β I would find it a big challenge to come up with an hour's worth of material I would be willing to play live in a solo setting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reezekeys Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 The visual always takes precedence. How many amateur u-tubes have you seen of a band performing with the camera focusing on whoever is soloing, except when it's the keyboards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoken6 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 I've taken to clipping my phone to a nearby speaker stand/furniture and recording the gig from my PoV. I find it a nice memento of the gig, plus there's always something useful to take away and learn from the expereince. Β Here's an example of playing one of the greatest keyboard-led songs in the canon, but in the guitar's key, with the guitar playing the iconic riff, leaving me to cover the auxiliary keys part and horns. Sorry about the sync issues... Cheers, Mike. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
