Hello Steve, There are all different levels of players on here and different ways to modulate. I find that the simplest way of changing key is to play the dominant seventh chord of the key I am changing into. eg, moving from C to G play a D7 and move into G I have made a short video moving round the...

Firstly here is Roger playing a solo piece. He is a professional piano tuner and not a performer although he plays piano in church. RIZ8Uutvgj4 This is quite a long video but I find it fascinating. I love how Roger hears every chord differently and how they suggest particular riffs and phrases to hi...

Clever little video

Hi, If I can hum the tune then the chances are that I will be able to play it, If not, it is trial and error to pick the correct intervals between notes and listen to hear if it sounds right. I have enough experience to have a good idea of what chords to choose to fit the melody. The first thing to ...

Hi Roy,
I don't use audacity, I use Cakewalk Music Creator 6, it was not expensive but you may wish to explore more free alternatives. Here is a link to a few of them.

This is priceless, watch Putin's reaction when a Journalist tells him that NATO claim that the missile shield was not placed against Russia but Iran

Hi Andy I think that is what I was saying,( I was messing about on my keyboard with a rhythm style 6/8 blues but I count it 12/8 so which is it ? ) Some people have been confusing the fact the the style says 6/8 and thought they were playing a tune in 6/8 when in fact the tune they were playing was ...

Hi Andy, Of course what you say is absolutely correct, thanks for the more elaborate explanation, I should have said that although I was using a 6/8 style, the tune I was playing actually was in 12/8 Some of our members have thought because they are using a 6/8 style then that must be the key signat...

I was messing about on my keyboard with a rhythm style 6/8 blues but I count it 12/8 so which is it ? I have noticed, understandably so, that some say a tune is in 6/8 but I make it 12/8 Well, I figure both can be correct at times, I have seen "The house of the Rising Sun" written in 2/4, ...

Last year, for his birthday I took my eldest son to see Dweezil Zappa and band, this year we are going to see Steve Vai. Here is a video of him guesting with the band. The Guitar whizz is duelling with Dweezil. Steve Vai is the one playing the white Ibanez guitar. I am looking forward to the concert...

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the offer to help, I am dreading trying to set it up. I never seem to get any midi stuff to work properly without experiencing an awful lot of grief in the process.
I have a feeling that I will be getting back to you on this at some point.
Cheers,
Brian.

On a previous post, I was swithering whether to trade in my Orla Ringway or add to it. I have decided to keep it. I will use it with virtual software plus I have also just bought from ebay, a Hammond XM-1 and Hammond XM1-C Organ MODULE. Below is a little demo. Sounds good to me, I hope I can set it ...

SENIOR CITIZENS UNDER ATTACK! THIS IS HAPPENING RIGHT HERE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY! We Must Stop This Immediately! Have you noticed that stairs are getting steeper? Groceries are heavier. And everything is further away. Yesterday I walked to the corner and I was dumbfounded to discover how long our stree...

Hi John,
He used to do the fire thing on his head in the 60's but I didn't think he'd get away with it now, as you say, Elf and safety.

Hi Brian, would this be the little "ditty" you refer to ?
John, bet you remember him after listening to this,

Hi all, My wife has booked tickets for us at the lovely Market Harborough Theatre Leicestershire to see one of my favourite performers. It is a fabulous little theatre, can hardly wait to see it. The concert is on the 12th March. I think it is fantastic that after all these years Arthur Brown is sti...

Any Brian Sharp fans out there interested ? Orla Gt 8000 portable currently on ebay.

Thank you for your input, I will investigate have a go at setting one up.
Brian

I wouldn't part with my EL 70 but I have been thinking of getting rid of my Orla Ringway for something older ha ha, like a GA3 for example but I am having second thoughts. Before I decide I wondered if anyone could tell me anything about connecting the Orla up to some kind of virtual organ software....

Thanks Andy,
I always think of over the Rainbow for the octave and I like your Maria example
I hope more people get involved, it is quite fun.
Brian

Hi Brian,
I just had a quick scan through your posts and the first one I came to was Country Roads.
A great example of a major 2nd.
do re = major 2nd
almost hea------ven

Anyone up for the game? Linking the first two notes of a well known tune as a means of remembering intervals. For example if I was asked to sing a perfect fourth, I would think of the first two notes of Away in a Manger. I hope to get a song for every interval ascending and descending. Anyone got an...

Hi, I have trawled the internet looking for a comprehensive demo of this unit but can only find bits and pieces, nothing that would convince me either way. I know Ketron has a good reputation and I would expect it to be a good unit. Sorry I can't be more helpful, hopefully one of our experts on the ...

Hi John,
A very nice performance, well played. I am one of the seven Brian mentions, I quite often listen to a batch of posts at the same time and get round to commenting later on.
More often than not, I have another listen and then post comments.

John and Brian,
Glad you enjoyed it. With these organ settings, there is a slight delay in the response especially in the bass pedals, it is to simulate the air reaching the pipes, very realistic.

Hi Brian and Jacko,
Thanks for listening, I appreciate it,
Brian D

Hi Jacko,
A fine first posting from the Roland, I am looking forward to many more.

Hi Ray,

Hi George,
Another fine choice of song, very well played.

Hi Willie,
A nice lively performance, well played.

My wife and I had a fabulous evening at "oran Mor" venue in Glasgow for The Zombies concert. I literally bumped into Jim Rodford in the bar. (The Zombies bass player also formerly of Argent and 18 years with the Kinks) I mentioned how I enjoyed the way Dave Davis played his Les Paul he sai...

Hi Brian,
Glad you enjoyed this more traditional rendition.
Brian D

Hi George,
I would not have thought it would make a good instrumental but I was wrong, that was brilliant.
