A beginner musician taking a crack at a new song… the heck does it look like?

I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t know. No need to get defensive…. It’s rather offensive

Hey you guys this is a new song I am learning on the piano , I have played piano for over 50 years but I am no good at reading sheet music, I sound better on certain songs ,its easier to play songs I have memorized but every time I play it will be a little different cause I constantly improvise, and remember piano is not the easiest instrument to play but its the one you can be most creative with.

If you learnt to read music accurately you’d be a far more accomplished musician. It’s like this…. If I gave you a book youve never read before im sure you wouldn’t have a problem reading it. The same is true of music….. I’m sure you can say I play by ear….. but I doubt you could play a solo over Cherokee by ear.

That's easier said than done , I cannot read bass clef , and when I look at the treble line I see like 4 dots staked together , if I stare at them long enough I can figure out the chord, Im dyslexic, but I don't know if that's why I have so much trouble reading music. So you must be a piano player,I have seen plenty of great players on RU-vid, do you have a channel ?

Thanks Butch!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Silas!

Thanks Yes the Crumar 17 is a nice sounding electrics piano , and it cost me around 1500 dollars new which was a good price. The keys are little on the heavy side and the acoustic piano sounds are pretty decent but not as good as a kawaii, Roland or Yamaha, but the electric piano sounds make up for that.

Thanks Butch!

Thanks!

thanks!

This one came with the plastic keys that if you go to music player forums they complain about it being too noisy , which it is, but the action is quick and I do not have to worry about warping. Back in the Seventies I had Wurlitzer piano's I played out with they cost 650 dollars new I had three different ones because where we practice there was no heat or ac and the dampness ruined the pianos, the last one I bought I Paid 500 dollars for new because Wurlitzer had stopped making them and they discounted them. I do not even remember what happened to the wurlys, great keyboards when the were working correctly.

Thanks!

Thanks Robert.

Thanks Mike , the piano is kind of bright and I never adjusted the EQ which I do now, plus the Roland KC 220 amp is bright but its still a great little amp.

Thanks graffo27 Merry Christmas!

Thanks volcanic ash, I am not a professional either, I have played in a few local bands but anyone can do that but the longer you play the more you can figure out on how to play, there are different techniques to make it easier.

Thanks graffo27.

Thanks, if its not a noisy bar it would work, you can run chords out the back if you want to another speaker or a mixer, when I played at the bar with a guitar player I ran cables out of the back into the mixer and the P.A. speakers and used it for a monitor.

I had a flat tire on the rear tire last year and bought a little larger tire with more tread and put that on, which compared to my old Vespa P200 E was a real pain in the ass . These do not have the old fashion lug nuts so I had to buy a special tool and ratchet set to get it off. Since these do not have the old fashioned split rims which were a piece of cake to put a tire on , I had to take it to a shop to get the tire put on, there goes 50 dollars down the toilet . I just changed the rear oil in it last month ,they al showed how to get a syringe to put the oil back in, but I saw what one video showed , you take the drain plug out tip the scooter to the side to get all the oil out and then putting it back in the oil bottle has its own little spout , you just put the spout in and tip your scooter the other way and fill it to it over flows and let the scooter sit back on the stand and catch what extra oil falls out then put the oil bolt backing , which was a lot easier than using a syringe. I The scooter still runs good ,I am getting ready to replace the battery and spark plug , have had it for almost 4 years now ,in August it will be 4 years. I was a 2020 model that came out in 2019. It still looks good , I only have about 1300 miles on it , I just ride it for fun and I keep it in a shed when not in use to keep it from getting rusty. I do not ride it in the rain only Sunny days, since there are no scooter shops where I live I have to do the work on it myself so I make sure to take care of it.

@@pianomikeoct Great update mate, thank-you. I've had all types of Vespa's over the years and was lucky enough to test ride a demonstrator here in Australia recently (GT125)... I was very impressed with the ergonomics, handling and braking and the engine felt responsive with plenty of torque. It also looked proportionally and aesthetically beautiful on close inspection 👌. Not living near a "scooter" repair shop must have made you into a good home mechanic! 🙂 Shame some motorcycle workshops don't carry the required tools to service such simple scooters. Anyway, happy riding Mike, your northern hemisphere is going into summer soon so have fun out in the sunshine and make the most of it. 😎🛵

@@nikitis13 Well good luck choosing the right Scooter, the Vespa will probably be a little easier to handle, because its smaller, one thing I do not like on my scooter is that it is too hard to kick start so I carry a small battery booster in the glove box in case the battery goes dead and the electric starter won't work I can jump start it with the booster.

Thanks Butch.

Yeah I know I played it way to fast .

Thanks Nuno!

Yes , they are light to me and fast and this is not the GT, but its pretty easy to play.

​​@@pianomikeoct have you tried the gt? the numa x piano is much lighter and faster than the gt? I need to play strings, metals, wood too, like vsts. as well as pianos. Do you think that with the GT I could do everything? or is the x piano lighter?I am in doubt between buying both, the x piano and the gt, or just one, do you think the gt is enough and better than the x piano?

@@electedmusic7685 I never played the GT but I heard it has nicer action than Numa X I have never played vet's before so I have no idea, but you can E mail or look up piano man chuck he said he was getting the GT last year and he uses VST's.

The piano I used on the RD 2000 was the modelded stage piano, it sounds much better when I use the 2015 RD 1000 sampled piano other wise known as the Elton John piano, it should sound good on your GX because they are a bassier sounding piano and the 220 brings out the tone. I have a lot of keyboards so I have two KC 220 stereo amps they are nice sounding and lite weight.

Thanks , it helps with the built in sounds and rhythms the 900 has.

Thanks Gra fo.

Brilliant! Thank you for sharing your beautiful music 🎶

@@vivianpunzalan1238 Thanks Vivian.

Thanks Deepspace.

Thanks Music and Arts Channe!

Monitors will sound better especially if you get the high end brands like Genelec ,Focal,, Adams, they have cheaper brands that get a decent sound like Yamaha, maybe M audio ,Pre sonus.I use the amp because its only 30 watts and sometime I play in bands and use it for a monitor along with my EV ZXa1 monitors, which I use for playing out.

@@pianomikeoct OK, whaddya think about picking up a Behringer K3000fx for 150 bucks from someone local? Right now all I have is my PC speakers for my roland jupiter xm

@@FourthWayRanch I sent an email , let me know if you got it about that amp'

@@FourthWayRanch See the mail could not find your address, so the short vision , I would not get the Behringer , get a cheap set of powered speakers , you probably have a stereo keyboard and they sound much better in stereo , my Kc 220 is stereo but powered speakers make it sound fuller.

@@pianomikeoct OK, thanks, I want to spend around 500 bucks so getting monitors sounds like the way to go for my synthesizer (home use), thanks again.

Thanks Lavi.

I was just looking at the sticker the other day, it doesn't bother me , no one ever notices it ,but maybe someday I will remove it.
