i agree with everything you said, just not the 13th chord, however, you seem experienced and knowledgeable with music so i think it's good for "neewbies" to see that even teachers cant agree on certain principles. i remember reading once that a 13th chord includes an 11th in classical muis...

you can omit the 5th, if that helps... lets say you're playing an f maj in the left hand and an 'a' in the right, you could play an fmaj7 chord (f,a,c,e), 4 notes, yet the melody is already playing the 'a', omit the 5th (the 'c'), the left hand just plays f and all the right plays is 'e' and 'a'; th...

hi irish... i cant stress this enough, use what comes natural to you... fingering is only a guide not a rule, even when playing classical music you will find many fingering methods that you will simply find dont feel comfortable. try to avoid thinking about fingering too much and concentrate on the ...

well it's far from difficult, you already know the chord progression so i would say experiement with that, it's only broken chords that's being played at a slow tempo... if you wanted that sound though that would be different, it's being played on a synth with a piano sound and a pad, strings with a...

i think whatever feels fine with you... i wouldn't get into fingering too much, you must find a comfortable way of playing and stick with it, fingering is only suggested methods... also, i've found classical fingering is different to jazz fingering... playing a mordent in classical will involve thre...

firstly, let's get one big thing out the way, in music, you never stop being a student... even the greats never stop discovering, any musician who says they know it all is a bad musician... so you can never be too old to be a student... i think i know what your problem is, you seem to be playing for...

yes you're right about the p120... sorry... have you tried ebay? i've never played the p140 but going by the p120, i'm sure it's very good

hi, do you know where i can hold off david benoit's "life is like a samba"... i love music, play a lot of chopin, bach and jazz but man... this is my favourite track ever.... i just love it, yet cant find the music.... any ideas?

thanks

know your scales... know them inside out... thats the best way, i would even recommend doing this away from the piano so you can visuallize the keys in your head, that way, when you play the chord you will know what it looks like rather than the notes you should be playing... all music comes from th...

without a shadow of a doubt i would recommend the yamaha p120, it has built in speakers, 4 layer sampling (basically - as near to a piano sound as you will get) and also features half pedalling; it has 4 different piano sounds (classical piano, jazz piano etc) also has harpsichord... the hammer effe...
