    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.

  • @bluescanfly1981
    @bluescanfly1981 3 года назад +17

    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.

    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.

    Great man ! I'm a keyboard player since 1985. I've played mostly Eastern, Indian music. I have played many songs of Eagles, UB40, Leanne Rimes, etc.
    It's the same situation with me and a guitar, I have 3 but I can't play the way a guitar player does. Just 1 string on the chord changes accompanied by strumming. Lol. But I can play the strumming pattern and chord, melody like you on the keyboard. I also play the harmonica, Indian Tabla drums and a bit of flute. I currently have a Yamaha dgx230, a Roland E09IN and an old Yamaha Electrone keyboard from the 80's. I will eventually purchase a Korg PA1000.
    Please play ' When the man comes around' by Johnny Cash, on the keyboard, using the acoustic guitar voice. I am going to give it a shot today but I would love to see your version of this.
    It's gonna be a challenge.
    Love your explanations.

    But I really need to know - to play the guitar on a MIDI like this, which is best:
    - a keyboard with light keys or semi-lested (not piano style heavy, I presume!)
    - a 49 key, 61key or bigger keyboard?
    Would be very grateful if someone could give me some advice here 😊
    I will also be playing strings and drums on it, but not using very much electronic type "newer" sounds.

    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

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.

    Tomorrow Apple is probably going to release a headset and i was wondering what your thoughts are on playing music with the headset. With an inbuilt camera and lidar that tracks hands and fingers.
    If Apple was to be serious about bringing music playing to the headset as well, i hope they invite you to collaborate since you are not new to adapting an instrument (guitar) to another (keyboard). This next step would bring the physical keyboard to the virtual one. And you’re a hell of a keyboard player.
