You like urban music right?

Dumb question - Of course you do!

Well let me ask you a question:

"Have you ever thought about making your own beats and music?"

Chances are that you have, although if you are anything like me when
I was looking for some info on how to do this from scratch - there is not a lot of info and or the systems cost way too much!

Of course - if you have a recording studio or a bunch of money to keep going to one - you are fine! Although alot of us are not in the position to part with that much cash, right?

Well there is something on the horizon that will really shake up the music world pretty soon. . ...

I'm going to do a proper review of this and be in touch in the near future, for now I'm having way too much fun making killer beats :) So far I've made 4 in a matter of 23 minutes before I thought "I gotta tell my VIP list about this" - so enjoy!

Till next time

Play Piano - Playing Keyboard Bass Lines

Left Hand Technique for Keyboards

In recent years, with advances in electronic keyboard technology and decreases in music performance budgets, the keyboardist has been called upon increasingly to play multiple roles.

Among these roles is that of a bass player.

My piano instruction eBooks and DVDs provide a "step-by-step" approach to learning how to play left hand bass lines at the keyboard.

My case studies and exercises cover the chord progressions and styles that the player will encounter in the real world.

Players of all levels will benefit from the focus on:

• walking bass lines
• playing in a "two-feel"
• waltz time
• latin styles
• putting both hands together

Guidelines for Playing Piano by Ear to Write Music!

Begin your sketches with a simple, basic idea: a sound you like, a group of pitches, and interesting harmony, an attractive rhythm, an idea for lyrics, and so on.

Next step: think out a number of possibilities for developing, expanding, exploiting, and contrasting your basic idea.

For example:

1. A group of pitches can be played forward, backward, up side down, or with its order rearranged.
2. You can keep the overall shape of a pitch group (the way it moves up and down), but change it by opening up or tightening the distance (interval) from one note to the next.
3. The same pitch group can be varied by changing its speed, meter, or rhythm... or by changing its "color" through changes of instrumental register (high vs. low).
4. A rhythmic idea, no matter how simple, can be stretched, tightened up, fragmented, or transformed into a a repeated figure.
5. A rhythmic idea can be applied to different pitch groups, or used to give movement to your favorite chord progression.
6. A harmony can be intensified by adding "color" tones (7th, 9th, added 6th, suspended tones, etc.); or softened by subtracting chord tones; or given a refreshed sound by the way you voice the harmony on the piano.

Try to keep a relaxed attitude toward your study of piano, and an open mind about new ideas that almost always turn up while you're experimenting with your sketches.

Above all, don't lock yourself into one way of thinking. After a certain point, a piece may have its own ideas about the way it should develop; don't try to force it into a cookie mold!

Let it grow and breathe.

How to Practice to Play Piano!

Whether you are practicing an exercise or a tune, it is important to always make it sound musical and to give it a sense of "flow."

Flow means that you can play it smoothly and without hesitation - the HANDS and BRAIN are calm and unhurried as you move from measure to measure in the song.

Perhaps the most useful skill in practicing music is the ability to sense when the music is not flowing, to isolate the problem area, and to FIX it!

Fixing the problem usually involves two strategies:

1. slowing the tempo; and/or
2. simplifying the problem (i.e. practicing a smaller piece of material and separating the hands.)

This all goes against our natural instinct, which is to try to play something as we imagine it should sound, even though there is NO flow!

Here is an important guideline which I call the Rule of Flow:

Never increase the practice tempo on a piece of material until you can play it perfectly!

Practicing something much faster than you can play it perfectly may be gratifying to your ego, but you are not really learning it.

The truth is that you cannot play something fast until you can play it slowly!
