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...

This is a demo at the request of Hugh. I played it from a sheet of organ music KenH found for us. It has some interesting chords which I have played as part of the demo. It was the theme from an Italian move Mondo Cano and has been recorded many times by Frank Sinatra etc. It was not originally perf...

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.

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 ...

This was first played publicly around 1890, so really can be classed as a genuine oldie. One of my favourite recordings.

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...

This is my Big Band arrangement of "Have you met Miss Jones". This was composed by Rogers & Hart in 1937 and has been recorded by many artists. Robbie Williams recorded this in 2001.

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.

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.

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...
