It looked like it pained him to touch the transpose button with me watching. :D :D :D

You should have just looked away out of pity.  :D :D :D

Indeed.

If you're going to use it, be bold with it.

Get a shirt that says "I transpose"!

LOL I was just thinking about this time my church went out to another church, right. I know the keyboard player and he has this way of trying to wait until I look off to hit the transpose button. Its so funny! He hasn't known until I blasted him that day.

Anyway, his choir got up to sing, right, and I looked off on purpose so he would hit the transpose key. Apparently he hit the wrong button, and started getting some fuzzy feedback out of his amp. He had to reset everything! By this time his choir had started to sing and hes was finding the key. his choir director started staring at him with that "What are you doing, we don't pay you to sit there!" look (trust me, thats exactly what it looked like :D).

Anyway, I see him glancing over at me out the corner of his eye, right, so I turn to him and say, loudly"Its ok, man, do what you gotta do. You gon' end up gettin yo pay docked worryin' 'bout me!"

Ok ok Last night at musician" practice, this same cat came by. He got on the keyboard and I got on the MOTIF(lol its like a whole nutha instrument 8)). We were playing Trading my Sorrows by Israel. In Eb(+3  :D actually +2, he only plays in Db) So we were playing, right, then we came to the key change to E, and he says, "Lets stay in the same key, bruh". LOL My bass player and I go up, and he's left in the "dust".

He has this mad expression on his face like I abandoned him or something. We stop playing and he says, "Man, you gotta learn how to listen!" I say, playfully, "Man, you gotta learn how to play!"

Anyway, he starts playing some cool groove. I ask him how he did it. He tells me the notes(not chords, but notes), in Db. So I start playing it, and it sounds nothing like what he is playing.

My bass player gets the same notes as me and he has his "WTH" (heck) look on his face.

He gets mad, walks over to that keyboard, and resets the transpose! :D :D I died laughing!

Just goes to show the hinderance of transposing. ;)

Is this guy a part of yall's music band at church? If not, he was very bold (and a little stupid) in trying to get yall not to do what yall normally do just cuz he can't play in E.

Naw, man. He's just a good friend of mine who plays at a neighboring church. lol It was pretty bold of him to come into a "non-transposing" environment and "transpose". I guess key changes are the devil to transposers. :D

wack musicians are cats who ONLY play shout music. "lets jam after church" means "lets play shout music". "start up a slow/fast/any tempo groove" means "start playing shout music". we need to practice this song means "lets run through it once and go straight into shout music"

genius is 10% inspiration and 90% shout music. lol.

i mean seriously, do you actually think you get better at your craft ONLY practicing shout music? im doubting it seeing as the people who do just that cant keep timing on any other song/groove, dont know how to build and release tension in songs (or that such a concept even exists), and dont know what they're playing nor why.

i was on keys, practicing my worship stuff, waiting for a service to start and this dude asks me "you play keys too" (because i was on bass earlier during the rehearsal before) and i reply "im just starting out" and he says that i sound like i been playing for a while and he gets on the organ and looks to see what im playing and i was gonna show him what i was playing (he was a drummer learning organ) but as soon as this other guy got on the drums, they bust out into shout music. i got up and walked out. i was humble enough to NOT say "thats why i sound like i been playing for a while...because i practice more than just shout music". didnt wanna hurt the guys feelings.

It's not my forte.  On the rare occasion someone does shout, we just play it by ear and go with the flow.  It always works out.

where are those guys??!!!! lol. i think it might be a young musician mentality because all of them are much younger than me, like in the 16-23 age range. Most of the older people i know that play are either playing here,there,and everywhere or are married and have families so the free time to jam with them is practically non-existent. (Its either that or they'd rather jam with people with better skills than mine.)


so maybe my experience is skewed to one side, but that doesnt change things at all. all they wanna play is shout music.

Sweet!

I was one of those that played shout music all the time. Hey! It helped me improve my foot coordination! Too bad I lost it, when I stopped playing for five years.

I got back on a REAL organ a couple months ago and was embarrassed, because my foot felt crippled. I went to playing bass with my left hand, and--for me--that felt like transposing. I couldn't do it for long, eventually I just let my foot mess up. People were looking at me like, Dude! Stop playing! A couple dudes were even laughing! It was all good, once I got back on the keyboard. Plus, I've been playing with a bass player for the past seven years.

It's ironic though, I used to suck on the keyboard. Now, it has reversed.
