Hugh, is your genius unlimited? You never fail to amaze me with some of your recent eye opening techniques. Now, I just need to find some motivation and try out your latest revelation. The TDP Forum must consider itself very lucky to have your talent being put to such good use. Well done :lol: Ron

Another enlightening article Hugh. I had noticed these 2 magic buttons, but never ever tried using them. Could be used to great effect depending on the tune being played.

Ron

I have come across the Jazz chord chart below which shows the make up of all the chords you could ever come across. They are based on C as the root. http://www.ar-group.org/Files/JazzChords700.jpg This can be viewed and downloaded as a PDF file. Click this LINK below. http://www.ar-group.org/Files/J...

Yes Hugh, definitely a brighter sound on the violin bearing in mind I am listening on my iPad and not using headphones.

Ron

It would come as a great surprise to myself and possibly others that this is why there are variations in the recordings posted on this Forum.

Ron

Thanks John. For anyone interested in this learning method, she does video lessons on YouTube.

Ron

This is right up your street Hugh with your background in Mathematics. Sorry, but I am not so talented unfortunately

Ron

John, you have NOT included the link for this.

Ron

Great pity Hugh that your tutorials were not around when I had just started doing my very early recordings. Would have made life much easier. However, I learned by trial and error. Just need now to try and make my recordings much more universally pleasing

Ron

Another excellent article to enable fuller use of Audacity.

Ron

Another well executed article to help others get their perfect audio recording.

Ron

Thanks Hugh

Nice to know you could hear the difference with the alternative chords

Ron

The judges on this TV show are just a bunch of self opiniated, big headed celebrity naffs. However, I must side with their verdict. Those 2 organists did not shine mainly due to the choice of music they tried to perform. It was an outdated sound being played in a modern environment and organ sounds ...

Another well executed text Hugh which shows every detail involved.
A bit too much info as far as I am concerned when comparing it to my iPad version. However, you have a perfect result. Well done

Ron

This is how I have done it on my iPad. Steps for placing photo 1. Choose Title 2. Choose photo 3. Edit photo into square shape 4. Click on USE picture 5. Use - (minus) symbol to enlarge the inner moving square box until it fills window but without any white border showing anywhere. To achieve this a...

Jon D, Hello there Hugh it will still not play my friend. Jon As you continue to say that your Apple Computer will not play audio.com music, I would suggest that the fault lies within your computer. I use an iPad which uses Apple OS and everything works as it should apart from getting the numbers fo...

Hi Den, My memory is unusable for playing music. In my younger days when I played in my rock band, we rehearsed new tunes using the standard sheet music, with the key transposed by me to suit the vocalist. All tunes in our repertoire were committed to memory very easily in those days. However, nowad...

Comment from JT ( barwonfan ) I'm wondering if there is some advantage in using Audio.com. I think Box.com is pretty good. Box is nothing but a commercial storage facility which is free to use at the moment. However, there are rumours circulating that this service will eventually have to be paid for...

Here is a link to the Jimmy Durante song I mentioned in my previous reply.
Entitled “ I’m the man who found the lost chord”

Ron

Firstly, I have to thank Hugh for posting the video of Thelonius Monk. He sounds even worse than I remember him. His performance brings back memories of Jimmy Durante who used to do a performance of a person looking for a lost chord on the piano. Not heard this for years. It appears to me that Thelo...

Hi Hugh Another master class but I find it completely overwhelming. I also disagree with your chord philosophy in that you play your own chords. If possible, I always play the chords as were written by the original arranger of the music I am playing. Wrong chords tend to show up when this has been d...

So glad I do not have to search through charts, diagrams etc looking for info on what notes to put into a chord. 10 years of classical piano training and 8 years spent playing bass professionally and making my living by doing so taught me all I need to know about chords. The Yamaha modern keyboard a...

No, I am not but I know several people who clearly are.

Ron

Yes Hugh, I suppose it is like playing a 2 manual organ. I find it is more restful for my left arm at a lower level for playing.

Ron

Hugh Heard the out of tune part straight away. Funnily enough I would suspect there are some who might not even notice. Wonder if the previous owner played “ Indian” music which always sounds out of tune when I hear it. Cannot see the need for a tune control as under normal circumstances, one would ...

Another set of excellent articles all about using “Split Point” In my own personal setup, I do not have a split point as such. This is a result of my Twin keyboard setup. I can use the whole of the Tyros keyboard for playing melody over several octaves. My interfaced other keyboard Yamaha Piaggero i...

This formula will eventually give you an idea of which chord will fit the melody. However you will be restricted to simple chords in the form of I IV V with a relevant minor. It will not tell you if it needs a diminished chord, maj7 chord, a sus4 chord, a b5 chord , a 9th chord, 13th chord, etc, etc...

USB 2.0 sticks are either white or black inside the stick connector opening. USB 3.0, which work at much faster speed, are coloured Blue

Ron

Hugh
Another fine article. I have often thought of improving styles or even making new ones for a tune where no style is available.
However, life is too short unfortunately.

Ron

Fred

This goes back to my years of exceedingly slow broadband 1.4 Mbps which made downloading sometimes impossible. I now have 300 Mbps but still stick to my original plan. It is very simple to do.

Ron

Digital sheet music to read from rather than the 'paper' version. I don't know how many members on the TDP Forum use music for playing, but I have found that my setup really simplifies using music for playing on the Tyros. I use my iPad almost exclusively for displaying printed music sheets unless ...

I too use a tablet (iPad) to store my music and need the 'dots' in front of me to play anything ! And I too need to bring the iPad closer in order to see the music more clearly. This is what my Tyros 3 setup used to look like when I played from 'paper' music: http://www.ar-group.org/Files/RonsMusic1...

It is certainly different.
