Wow! I didnt realize that song was that intricate. I'm a drummer but I play a bit of keys, guitar and bass. But,, there is no way I'd ever be able to play that. Lol. Thats almost some Rick Wakeman shit right there! Lol. Well done!
Play and copy it’s practice but, The keyboardist of Loverboy was a genius to create this keyboards lines...really awesome. Thanks for the lesson!:)
This is honestly one of the best videos on RUclips. The writing for this song was bonkers
Thank you so much for the tutorial on working for the week end, much easier to play your way. . .and thanks for working up the new creed sounds for me, they were much needed. . .p.s. more tutorials on how to play!!! . .great work!!
Really helpful. I also appreciate the tip about adding those chords to the pads. Attempting to play this while doing vocals and using the pads helps quite a bit.
Awesome, Dave! Thank you so much! I myself are a keyboarder and had difficulties to examine, what to play, but you did great!
Great stuff David.... keep them coming!!
Just saved me a ton of work, thanks, man!
Appreciate the video, and was able to cut down the learning curve on the song. Thank you
Thanks Dave. Your sound packs are a deal! Picked up 3 for $20US.
I love that soud!!!!! Thank you!!!
awesome...sounds great
Excellent
Thanks!
Nice job. My wife plays keys in our 60's-80's band and we are thinking of a Korg to add to her 73 key hammond sk1
it would be nice to see Turn Me Loose Loverboy- the piano part(sounds like the yamaha 70's electric piano approx around 1.45 into the song
Yep, I use a Yamaha CP electric piano sound on my MOXF for that song.
this is great.. but it really would have been nice to go a LOT slower on that 2nd half part, one hand at a time, note for note with a click to see where it all lines up through the whole thing.. You Tube needs a 1./2 speed function :)
RUclips has a speed function…
80s music kicked ass.... and Doug Johnson is one of the most under-rated keyboard dudes on the planet. www.loverboyband.com/shows
Why do you have a picture of Rush in your Loverboy song pack "Working for the weekend" on your shop site? Lol cool sound packs by the way. I hope you address more in the future. I didn't see the Billy Idol sound pack Rebel Yell.
Never mind, I found the Rebel Yell sound pack. Yassss!
Nice eye! There's a legal reason for that actually. Certain bands have basically copyrighted images, so I'm not able to freely use them. Loverboy happens to be one of them where there's not a lot of publicly available/freely usable images. So... I like rush and used theirs instead!
when you set your keys to do the harmony with only one note, how did you get that? I set mine, but like its not like a smart harmonizer, it stays directy 1-6th or 3rd part, so, some of the notes are right. Im doing the 2 hand thing now to make it sound right.
The Korg Kronos has the ability to assign pre-built chords to the "Pad" function of the keyboard. That's what I used, but then trigger the pad with a specific key. Different keys can trigger different pads, which are all assignable so you don't get the static intervals between different chords.
Can I dupicate this on my Korg TR61? Or Roland Juno DS 2000? I've only begun to explore these keyboards... any help would be greatly appreciated....thx
Hi Vincent - This is actually a pretty easy song. There's really only two major sounds, so making a combi on your TR-61 should be easy enough.
The issue really comes down to: Do you have enough keys. If you're using two keyboards at the same time, then one can be the lower pad sound I use, while the other can be the main sound.
If it were me, I'd use the TR-61 for the main sound since the TR is 'more capable' when it comes to making synth sounds, and the DS 2000 as your 'pad' sound that's the lower left side. (Also assuming the DS2000 has 88 keys right?)
But yes - that's how I'd start anyway. It's very doable with those keyboards.
David Champagne Thanks David, yes the Roland has 88 keys. It's more about finding the right sounds now. I've got a little time to explore, but I hope I can pick your brain if needed... :) what keyboard are you playing this on?
The TR is a 61...🎹
what types of combi sounds should I use on the TR?
Unfortunately there isn't a type. It's a polyphonic set of saw waves with a specific cutoff and resonance. I couldn't know what the Korg TR has in it since I'm using a Korg Kronos and I built the sounds from scratch. The best advice is to listen to existing sounds and find one that is close, and then try and edit the sound to make it closer to what you hear on the album. Pay special attention to the attack and release, the filter cutoff and the amount of resonance. Also try and find the isolated track and listen to that to get a better idea of what they're playing.

What type of keyboard are u using
Jamie Murphy Korg Kronos
Looks like a Korg Kronos but not sure
the right hand part around 3:13 into the song, the right hand only part is it G#, then a, a#,d#? thanks
Thank you for the video, but why don't you show the chords but only click through your pads?
How about something from this century.
Coldplay songs?
I have a few sounds from this century already - still working up the library!
Check out audora.ca!
Am I the only one here who always feels like an incompetent idiot after watching tutorials like this?
not really a tutorial, you're blazing through it without describing what you're doing
It's a good thing RUclips can:
A) enable subtitles
B) slow things down
C) pause
And since the video is in overhead cam, you can see and hear all the notes too!
@@AudoraAudio LOVERBOY ,SHOWOFF!!!!! actually you're right, thanks
