      not to down play midi players but it always just feels like pressing buttons fast, with this kind of instrument no only do you have to press the keys, different pressure also changes the sound, and there are lots of techniques to things like bending, vibrato, release, which add a whole other dimension to the playing that separates the good players from the bad, other than speed

      go tell a pianist that he/she is just pressing buttons fast lol, you can press every key perfectly and it can still sound like ass, things like timbre, phrasing, dynamics, if you played fortississimo like pianississimo or vice versa it changes the mood of the song completely, which is also why electronic pianos aren't just binary buttons, there are many sensors involved, multiple pressure sensors, velocity sensing, all of these are beyond just 'speed'; and i already mentioned how guitar has different string manipulation techniques to add to the music. so no, they are not just pressing buttons fast

      You need around 5'000 to 10'000 hours to master such a complex instrument (or 2 years and 3 months to 4 years and 6 months).
      Plus you need other time and effort to put into "paying your dues", as well as a huge dose of luck to be known enough to fully repay this or another, even more expensive, instrument.

      No, Freddie would not have approved. He was really into authenticity, and was far more of a traditionalist than many people realized, especially when it came to his music.
      One time this guy tried to impress him by playing Queen on an accordion. Freddie was polite to the guy, but later told me he wished he could've scratched his eyes out.
      He was actually a big student of musical history and very into period instruments.
