Straight Keys


Get Flash to see this player.

Description
Hey, Key players like to rock too.
I've tried faking guitar sounds on other tracks and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, but here all the sounds are keyboard voices. The basic rhythm idea is something I have had kicking around for a long time. It is rounded out with some techniques I've picked up here at MacJams. All the keys are my playing. The drums are GB loops. I think I have improved on integrating the drums, let me know.
Enjoy.

This is cool!

Really grows on you ..

I would bring the clav bass line part up a bit .. it gets lost a bit under all
the nice soloing on the top.

Drums sound fine - teh 'cha cha cha' ending was a bit iffy. lol ;o)

Why fake it? Collab it?

Re:
Thanks for the excellent comments. The clav bass line is what the rest of this is
built on, so it should be heard throughout.

Hey, Endings are the hardest part, cha cha cha LOL

Collaborating down the road to get some real screaming guitars sounds like fun.

This Rock is happy.
The sound of YAMAHA is good.
I was satisfied of the piano and the rhythm.

Nice Theme
Although it's lacking a solo (other instrument), this is a nice theme, inspiring to improvise.

Theme
Thanks for listening. Maybe a solo guitarist could give it a go. I could make a version with less organ, so there would be room for a solo.

freaking awesome.
if i could go back and actually srudy an instrument, keys/piano would be it. i love what I do, it's a part of who i am, but alas, time limits me to only pursue one thing really, so rather than be fair at several things, i'd rather push myself farther in one thing.
i am a sucker for great piano/keyboard pieces. this is it!

Faelin-
I feel the time constraints also. Oddly enough I am a sucker for guitar playing and drumming. Thanks a lot for listening and commenting.

Thanks for checking out one of the older tunes. Artists never forget them, but sometimes I think listeners do. Possibly my loudest tune, glad you liked it!
