Beginning Keyboard Help
« on: April 05, 2006, 11:40:00 AM »
Hi,
I need advice on what steps to take as far as learning the keyboard. I have some books and videos but it seems as though they don't do me any justice.. so i try to learn by ear..

What is the secret to playing chords. Most people i listen to play songs and sound great and i ask what key they are in and they say F or whatever, but the notes that they play aren't in the scale. how is that?

I am not sure if you are saying you already know all your chords and stuff or what not.... but a good start to play by ear is a set of books called the Tripletts series.......   not sure if you have ever heard of them.. it is a 3 book plus video sets... you can order them through pentecostal publishing house.....

Hope this is some help. God Bless
God is good all the time....

Music Theory is a good start.................Do you know your scales? If not, that's a good starting point.

I think you are saying they don't play the entire scale of the key they are playing in.

That is where the Theory comes in.
Trust in the Lord and do good so shalt thou dwell in the land and verily thou shalt be fed.
