Out of complete boredom I bought myself a Casio keyboard a few days ago and I am actually having a good time learning it. I never thought I would actually take to it as quick as I did. I guess the payoff would be to actually stick with it.. I'm going to get me a really nice keyboard eventually when I know I'm gonna stick to it.. This one was just a cheapy but fun...
Very cool,,,I fumbled with one way back in the 80s, I actually learned some cool tunes with my old band (Mr Slate) here in Staten Island NY, one being the streets have no name by U2, Tom Sawyer fills etc, the thing sounded great thru a direct box. ENJOY. PS I wish i had Y.T. back then, I had to learn everything by ear.
Some of the formats that youtube instructors are using make it rather simple. The cheat sheet I call it.
Congrats on the keyboard! Piano/keyboards have been something I have been messing with the past few years. Not really trying to become a player, but it’s been very helpful for my understanding of music theory. Just so easy to see it on the keyboard. I’m also trying to keep my kids interested in music. They seem to mess with the piano more than anything else. Here is my 11 yo trying to play. Got to keep him playing those 80’s tunes! LOL
So many people are offering up their pianos for free. If only I had the space. Heck, when I worked for Steinway, I had a 1 time employee discount of 40%. I could have snagged a $100K model D concert grand for $60K. I think the model D's are over $150K now.
@strat_strumer Yeah, have fun w/u'r Casio. The pre-sets are cool by themselves. I happened to find a CTK-2550, open box special for $75. Not too bad... Full size pianos, in home, and dinosaurs? There was a free S & Sons here on Offer-up a week ago. I thawt about it, as a Flip, for maybe 5 sec's. There's some free, some Yamaha BG's for a couple K & some Baldwin's for a couple C's. Some w/ leather topped seats.
This is awesome, I'm hoping to graduate from playing chopsticks in a few months That's my problem, everywhere I look on CL there is a piano. At least with a nicer electric keyboard I can slip it out of the way when not in use.
Probably the black sheep, who won't take 'no' for an answer..!! 'No, that's your last one'. 'You promised'..!!
