From the album: Me!
Pic of me taken in front of my piano. I never did give a name to my piano. I think she was bashful so I waited for it to come naturally. Sadly I lost her too. -
Any DD musicians out there? What do you play? How long for? What are your influences? I play a little piano and a little guitar. My parents bought me a Yamaha keyboard when I was younger so I learnt most of my musical knowledge from my early years with that - I learnt to read music, learnt chords and generally got a decent understanding of how playing music worked. However, recently I have been trying to move away from playing keyboard style (IE - playing chords with the left hand, melody with the right) and try to play a more traditional piano style, with the left hand playing more bass melodies rather than just the chords. Although I have managed to learn a few pieces this way, I still find myself simply playing the root octave of the chord and I'm struggling to get creative with my left hand playing. Ideally, I would love to be able to play blues piano and be comfortable improvising with both hands in different keys and time signatures but I am a long way off this yet. If any pianists have advice for me that would be great, if not I'm simply happy to hear from other musicians of any genre - who knows, we could form a band!
