As this Challenge is to play a piece of music that tells a 'story', some of you may be wondering what the 'story' is behind this classical piece, which was composed by Handel and performed as an opera. The Clemency of Scipio is an episode in the life of the Roman general Scipio Africanus, recounted ...

Your music is very soothing to listen to. What a fabulous arrangement! Using a FreeStyle for this has really brought out those harmonies. And I love the STRINGS. They really do give 'body' to the whole piece.
Ron, Well done for finding a suitable picture to go with this piece .. two little boys! Loved that 'drum' intro, and the start of the song with the whistle (?). Just right for the start of the song. Liked the change of beat at 0:26 .. and off with the song proper. I didn't really know the story of t...
Your version of Handel's Largo was soft and pleasing to the ear. And the organ clips you had in your video were perfect for the piece you were playing. Really enjoyed listening.
Somethin' Stupid. I reckon we have all said 'something stupid' to someone at some point in our lives. Somethin' Stupid? Don't reckon those three words are that stupid as they can change our lives! Played on my AR80 organ. 1778508151235040 Here are the words to this song. Somethin' Stupid - Frank &a...
The October Challenge is to post a song where the lyrics 'tell a story'. Eg. Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree ; or Little Jimmie Brown . But not 'Michael Row The Boat Ashore'! So we all know what 'story' is being told, either post all the verses of the song (you can COPY and PASTE them fro...
A new approach to the monthly Challenges When we started the "New Challenges" Ian Wolstenholme wanted to feature the 'Winner(s)' on his Radio Show, “Community Keyboards” - Oldham Community Radio 99.7FM. So we needed a 'Winner'. As Admin didn't want to get involved in choosing 'Winners', w...
First, watch the beginning of this video to see what Travelin' Easy from the PSR Tutorial Forum is commenting about .. namely notes on the PSR-SX900 and 700 that do not 'sound' when played. (I do not recommend that you dismantle your keyboard in the way he describes in order to fix it!) YAMAHA PSR-S...
Cricket (as explained to a foreign visitor) You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's bee...
My one (little?) problem ... My fault! I had pressed the STOP for the Multipad just after the first beat of the next bar. So that's why I had a bar of silence before it came in again. You have to STOP the Multipad a fraction before the end of the bar . So just recording the BASS part for one verse ...
The advantage of setting up a MULTIPAD using Method 2 above (with the CHORD MATCH ON ) is that it will give you the bass pattern in whatever key you play your piece in. The disadvantage is that all the notes you want to hear have to be put in as 'intervals' with C as the root. Takes a bit of working...
Ron, You are right in what you say. The notes to be played for the BASS in that particular script were based on having the MULTIPAD in CHORD MATCH mode. This means the Miultipad will play it's 'pattern of notes' based on the chord you are actually playing at the time . To work in this mode, you have...
Ron, Thanks for that. Yes. you're right. I recorded the bass notes with the MIDI recorder and then used the SCORE function on my Tyros 4 to get those notes put on the stave .. and took a 'screen shot' of them. http://www.ar-group.org/Files/Tyros4Score.jpg Not reading music, I hadn't appreciated how ...
One thought I had was that I have often used a MULTIPAD to add a 'counter melody' to a song I have been playing. So why not create a Multipad for the Bass Player? Here below is how I have done this. When I create my MULTIPAD I need a VOICE set up in R1 . From the BASS section I have chosen LowBass (...
What would a real BASS player play when accompanying you playing your song? When you play a song using a STYLE you have a 'band' that plays along with you, with a drummer, a bass player, and various other instruments like guitars etc. all blending together to make a suitable backing. But let's be c...
Den, This is so useful to know! As I play 'by ear' (ie. by chords and play the melody 'by ear'), I frequently print out the lyrics with chords from the Guitar Guy. http://www.theguitarguy.com/ I'll try just loading the words and chords into the Tyros 4 and play from the Tyros 4 screen. Get rid of al...
JT, You have got the wrong idea about putting pictures into audio.com. You do not have to have them 1200 x 1200 and you do not have to 're-size' any of the pictures you use before you use them. When I use my own pictures, I use them as taken straight off my mobile, which are 3264 x 1836 (and with my...
Here's another example of listening to various STYLES at the same TEMPO (in this case 68 bpm) and choosing two very different STYLES to use with different parts of the song. (I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You. Of course we all associate this number with Elvis Presley . In my version I have used...
A couple of examples now, putting this into practice. The Young Ones . This starts with the STYLE 60's Pop Guitar from POP & ROCK at 128 bpm (one I was trying out in the DEMO above). Next, it's Bubblegum Pop , another STYLE I tried in the DEMO above. I thought Bubblegum Pop with it's emphasis on...
Another look at Changing STYLES as you play through a song. When you play a song, how do you go about changing the STYLE as you play through it? Or do you just stick to the same backing from beginning to end? Most people, once they have made their minds up which Style they are going to use just sti...
I'm sure people are saying, "Why bother to do all this?". It all depends on how one wants to play something. Do you find a STYLE that will 'fit' your song? Or do you have something in your head that you want to include in your song? I have been wanting to play My Way (you have already hear...
