LOL I already play guitar, my problem is creating realistic keyboard parts with a keyboard

Dom, I've been playing guitar for fifty years. I have never heard a better video on realistic guitar parts. Keep up the great videos. Thanks, JamaicaJo.

This is why why the synthesizer is the greatest instrument ever created. They can realistically be any of the other instruments. And I mean ANY instrument.

This is the best video I've seen so far on RU-vid that teaches how to play realistic guitar on midi piano. Great work!

Use of the trim tool for creating strums is a gem find! Thanks!

Amazing stuff. I'd add that for guitar, the strings you don't hit are also REALLY important - simulate some palm muting, string skipping, raking, fretting hand muting and movement from position to position or at least consider them in your parts - if you'd need to mute all the open strings to hit a given note, you'd probably not want big jumps at a high tempo. Let some imperfections happen, know what frets produce natural harmonics and incorporate them. Most libraries give you perfect even. chromatic harmonics, but you'd not be able to produce them so evenly on guitar across string sets unless you happen to be Tommy Emmanuel Partial chords are really important / double stops, triads etc. Guitars usually play just a couple notes of a chord, also guitars don't sustain like piano, you'll probably have to hit the note more often so your rhythms will vary - dotted notes, ties happen a lot, simply because it's hard to mute ringing strings exactly at the same time. Grace notes happen a lot, they should probably not be even in dynamics or duration from one to another. Try untuning your "guitar" slightly, microtonal bends etc. can really sell the part.

Dom you are amazing thank you for your superb videos. I cant believe how realistic you sound, just like a guitarist . Thats a true talent

I‘ve really been enjoying your content recently, Dom! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise. I‘m a Cubase user as well and love the content focusing on its functionality. I don‘t think it gets enough credit as a DAW! Keep up the good work, friend. 😊

Really useful information, Dom. I thought I knew most of what you were going to explain, but I was thinking more along actual technique. I never even thought about typical guitar chord voicing and how you should alter chords on the keyboard to fit them. Great stuff!

What an EXTRAORDINARILY fascinating video, Dom! Thank you SO very much for this Tutorial!

Man, so happy that this channel progressed so much. Remember seeing you in Doctor Mix. Now all these tips and content are just gold. Well done!!!

Hi Dom, another great video. I've been playing keyboards since I was 15, and have been lucky enough to have played with some great drummers and bass players. This stood me in good stead for borrowing ideas and tricks from then when I had to program backing tracks for a 3piece I had back in the day, on my korg o1wfd and karma, on to mini disc believe it or not. You are spot on when you say you have to think about the limitations of the instrument you are thing to emulate. It would be great if you could put together a video like this one but for bass parts, for eh when to add slap or pulls, when to walk, roots and harmonies etc. Keep up the good work. I'm finally putting a home studio together so any other general studio/recording vids/hints/tips in addition to what's already up would be great. Cheers James

man i have to say - your RU-vid channel was one of my best find in the last months. This month i got a project for a lifetime and I had to make überrealistic live sounding mockups. This video helped me immensel.y

You're truly amazing Dom! Thank you for sharing your wisdom so generously.

Exactly the same thing happed with me regarding the pitch bend. My first Yamaha PSR keyboard didn't have one and that's the reason I decided to buy a midi keyboard, so I could play solos. Great video once again, Dom!

I always learn something new from your videos! The trim tool is a great find in this video. Thank you and you are an amazing keyboard player! : )

Great video and wonderful playing. Thanks for putting this out there.

The content on this Channel is mind-blowing. You are an amazing musician but above all you are a great teacher!!! Keep it up!!!! Cheers 💪🏻😀

Dom, You are the Master! Incredible demo.

I was - long time ago - in a music store in the guitar department, where in the same room they showcased the entertainment keyboards. One talented person played an acoustic preset and it sounded so realistic that I stopped my amp check and just listened to how he played such great, realistic acoustic guitar sounds on this "plastic" rig.

This is exactly what I have been searching for, thanks a lot man, these tips are amazing to get started......

Thank you very much for this great video! Sounds really realistic.

Amazing video, you seems like a really genuine person, thank you for the tips

This is super helpful. Being able to “strum” on a keyboard was one thing I really wanted to make sure was possible. Thank you.

Let me say again as the video progresses through.. such astute hints and tips in the musical sense as well as the technology - thanks you so much again, Dom

Oh my lord Dom. You just pulled off some MAJOR Yngwie Malmsteen shreds there. I was blown away. Fantastic playing and it's just so realistic.

What is always fantastic with your video is that it is always about music :-) Thanks for that one

Really you gave awesome video lessons to student like me.. Respect you sir 🇳🇪

Dom, congratulations on the release of your Apollo sound library last Wednesday. Wish you all the best

So helpful ! Very useful man, I like this video.

You are so inspiring. Thank you Dom.

Native Instruments strummed and picked acoustic works amazing too! This was a great video!!

This is the best tip video for this topic. Thanks much Dom!!!

Ooohhhh!! Working, but can't wait to watch this!! Would love if you could do a tutorial on how to create drum patterns too! Thanks, Dom!

The landing note advice is really good and what I missed doing it on my own.

Nice video, practical and this is the best minimum one should do. I’m a lead guitarist for 2 decades and I can easily tell which sounds right to articulate a guitar style of playing. If one can mix some mutings in a strum will make it even realistic. But as I said, this is a very good and complete tip for keyboard players who want to do guitar tracks on a keyboard.

Thank you for these videos, Dom!

Very instructive video ! thank you !

Your last video which you are talk about how to play drum on keyboard was amazing. i'm very excited to discover this one 😄

you are the best learning so much especial an eye opening for great guitar vst sounds

Just your intro to the video playing guitar with the keyboard was enough to make me to subscribe.. for sure I will learn a lot from you!! Thanks. (Adter watching the full video..damn God!! you make me to understand how to compose guitar parts and sound realistic!!. Amazing!!. Congrats from Andorra)

Thank goodness I am a guitar player...there’s little hope of my keyboard skills getting this far. Excellent Dom!!!!

My GUY!! This is just what i needed

You are amazing, an all rounder, thanks bro !

I started following your channel a coupla days ago, and what i really like about you, is that your just as interested and passioned about getting a fundamental "real" and good sound.. Because that's basically what we're all looking for right😆🙏🏼 Anyway, i LOVED your video on rewriting Lamarosa (Mozart).. hell yeah, that was awsome 🤘🏼😊🤘🏼 Anyway, so yeah.. you got another subscriber even though im all the way from Denmark. Peace out, and again a big thanks for your videos and always being fresh and sharp about what we do..❤️🔥❤️

Very good! I'm a Guitar and Keyboard player and this is a must to know. Thank you for this.

Unbelievably useful!

awesome tutorial, thanks!

Incredibly helpful thank you!

Always excellent Thanks to you Dom

Amazing skills on the keyboard, Dom

Excellent video. Your playing is Wonderful .

Thanks for the video! The pitch stick found in the Nord keyboards are really amazing for organic bending an vibratos. I'm sure you have already tried, but if not, you should!

This is so sweet. Thanks man

Top tier dom seriously

The best Video ever seen on this topic! Thx a lot!

This was exactly the video I came to RU-vid for! Thanks, Dom!

Great information man!!! Everything perfectly explained 👍🏼👍🏼

Today I learned very much... Thankyou sir

Best tutorial ever! 💯

I'm a guitar player - but thank you so much for the TRIM TOOL tip!!! All this time I can't believe I've never used it - I can now use this to create better piano parts as well as guitar strumming etc.

Your videos are very helpfull, thank's.

Thanks for the tip. You are my Cubase teacher.

Man you keyboard skills are super sayan mode!! awesome vid!

Love this video. Thanks Dom!

Fabulous content as ever. What I have found is you have to learn to play each library separately as they all play differently. I love the amplesounds guitars for instance. I have acoustic and electrics and they all sound amazing.

Great video , thanks 👍🏻

Thank you!

I love the acoustic steel string in Cubase halion sonic

That Cubase trick on fixing the strums is cool. I hear software try to simulate guitar strums and they typically put too much delay between the strings especially for electric guitar. The delay is tiny but necessary to sound like a guitar strum.

Wonderful video, tips and vibe, and wonderful musician ! I thought you were great with cubase etc, but I was completely fascinated by your guitar playing on the keyboard. Any plans for violin, cello, brass instruments, orchestras etc ? Oh and BTW, what was the electric guitar VST instrument you used ? Sounded so great

This video is a gem

that first part you played was beautiful on acoustic

Thank you very much!! 😃

Keep those wrists up! Oh, sorry, had a flash back there! Made me switch to drums and percussion. I like your strumming, you have been at it for a while, this is how I record guitar, and in an apartment it' comes in handy with headphones for acoustic! There are some real gems on your channel, just letting you know I appreciate it, and I'm likely more than 2 times your age, and appreciate the help being an old analog monster from the old earsplittin'loudenboomer era. But jazz and soca, funk etc ar4e what I love playing. Cuban music just gets so damn fun to play, but my guitar sucks! The 7 years of wasted piano lessons were not actually a total loss it turned out. (it was my piano teacher who said "Buy the kid a set of drums! He's good, always tapping on the piano when I leave the room" and they finally heard it. thanks you Don Alberry, RIP.

I have played keyboard with interesting hybrid portamento + polyphony mode on some guitar voices, it sounds very beautiful. Some times it generated sound of hand sliding on cords - between two accords. :-) But it needs various special techniques of playing. It was Yamaha Tyros 5 keyboard.

Wow! 😮. Perfect👌

You are amazing brother.

amazing ❤

Thankyou so much Dom you are an life saver :) Thanks alot ..................❤❤ m your Fann buddy 👍👍

Brilliant!!!

very excellent tutorial. I play real guitar, but I really needed some of these details for Electronica.

Really interesting video Dom, thanks (I'm a guitarist, but still found it interesting).

oh my god you are amazing player bro!!!!!!!!!!!

So amazing.... great job// I love it..

Damn....great video !!!

Hahaha, couldn't resist the shred in the intro. Just missing the needle rip across vinyl sound insert between the acoustic and shred....thx for the vid.

This should be an essential intro to all keyboardist before trying to make guitar parts live or in the studio. I’d like to add to Doms love of the Yamaha samples, that truly is some of the best sounds in any keyboards. If people isn’t particulary skilled in using eg. Kontakt instruments and at the same time using the ton of artikulations they often have, you may try get one of the top tier PSR keyboards from Yamaha if you dont have the budget for a Genos, or try find a Used Tyros 4-5. The samples are all based on the same library as Motif/Modx/Montage and the SA sounds is extremely smart programmed and can do the essential artikulation switching either automaticly or by using 2 dedicated buttons and they are pretty easy even for beginners to get to sound like a Pro.

Thanks for the tips! I'm not a guitar player myself but I'm dying to add guitar sounds to my music because it has a different way of expression, this video will help me understand more on what to do. I'm also struggling with how to make strings sounds better when playing on keyboard, for pad it easier but for strings I find it way more difficult to achieve certain feel to it, I wonder if you have any tips on making better strings section with keyboard

This is Awesome!! There is another vst that do the strum and voicing even when you play normally, its Musiclab RealGuitar

Thanks!

Oh great, राम्रो छ।

Great Dom

Great lesson! Thank you Dom. 6 NOTES SIX NOTES VI NOTES!!!!!!

Damn I needed this video from last 1 year

Loved it. Could you do one for electric guitar strumming please?

Please add more videos like trumpet flute and string and saxophone for keyboard playing video because I inspire of your guitar playing

bless for you bro!!

Nice beat 💓
