I hope this helped you understand one way to play this keyboard part, but let me know if you have any questions or comments on my approach to playing this!
I like how you did the solo with mostly just single notes allowing you to continue to play the chords in left, but then added a few harmony notes at the right spots. That's very well done! On the intro percussive figure, unfortunately my keyboard doesn't have the sound with the 4th below added in, so I have to play both hands / both notes to get it to sound right.
Brilliant - really helped me master this with the new band I am in. Playing the chords in the left hand helped. I switched to both hands for the chorus. Many thanks
love the way you make the solo breakdown and simplify its part but keep the sound original. It 's great channel that will help alot of keyboardists outthere including me.
Hi there - Wondered what notes are you actually playing in the percussive section of the intro? (sorry- it's going so fast, it's impossible to to register what you've actually played) many thanks
THANK YOU so much for making this video -- I just got a new keyboard and it is likely I will have to play this one live soon. The prospect is more than a little terrifying. It's one thing to play a piano solo at a recital and a completely different animal to be playing such a major role in a band. Your videos are deeply appreciated -- there are plenty of tutorial videos by people who are fantastic players, but they're not out there as actual keyboardists doing gigs like you are. I don't know if you play Stayin' Alive by the BeeGees, but if you have any advice on how to make the most of the parts of that song on a single keyboard, it would be much appreciated.
Yes I am aware there is a lack of material available for band keyboard players so I'm trying to help with that. But time is limited so I can only do so much at a time. I played Stayin Alive a few years ago so I'll see what I have.
Hmm i think your keyboard have some synthesizer options, i tried to find the 3 sounds, but i coult not find any (standard) instruments with the same sounds on my Yamaha psr 473. What keyboard do you have?
The keyboard in this video is a Roland Fantom G series (7 or 8). Sorry, I can't speak to what sounds are offered on other keyboards. I usually try to find the closest match available and go with that.
@@mikebardenpiano Ah, sorry i thougt your keyboard dit have the possibility to load in extra instruments, (and so i thought you had put in some Synthesizer sounds.

@@mikebardenpiano thx, that’s ok Music for musics sake. Half the fun is replicating the sound 100%… if we can. With an RD700NX (and soon the Nord stage 4) I can 100% match the main synth, (both hands), match the mini riff say, 90%, but with 4 patches at once across 88 keys, I seem to run out of keys an patches for that main solo part. Interesting how you’ve done it though. Real answer is take both keyboards … but too much work! Your interesting compromise solution works in a pub / gig setting, but for a wedding or major stage gig, I fear not. Stay cool. Well done. Life’s short - enjoy it with friends and music ! 👍
Thanks! Someone may need to write me up a ticket at all the main stage festivals we play throughout the year. Lol I knew my solution to the solo line was a compromise, as I made the logistics decision to not use multiple keyboards in my setup. So I won't argue that. If however, I have some chords wrong or played in a wrong voicing, I am definitely open to learning more about those and making adjustments.
@@mikebardenpiano I was wondering why the musical authorities were taking you to court. All those unpaid tickets…! 😉 PS. Having listening to live and studio tracks and downloaded sheet music from various sources, I’m STILL somewhat unsure if the mamba style mini riff is: F#, E, C#, B, C#… or … F#, E, B, C# Are you sure your version is right?
The details are a little buried in the studio mix, so I could see how it could be taken a couple of different ways. But on the whole, I stand by mine because the contour of the line matches what I'm hearing in the recording.

Hi Alan, sorry but I have not had to learn that one so I don't have a tutorial on it. Good luck!
Main Chords are all weak - and some are wrong. The double note set up is wrong too, it’s a single sound.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm not infallible, so I definitely could have made mistakes in how I heard it.
