I'm a Believer - The Monkees (Smashmouth) - Ryan McDonald - Piano Solo Performance
Hey guys ! here is my latest piano organ solo performance of me performing the 1960's rock n roll song called "I'm A Believer " by The Monkees (or by smashmouth if you prefer modern music ofcourse etc) by me Ryan McDonald on my midi piano keyboard. this song was also featured in the animated shrek movie, and I have used my Vintage Rotary Cabinet Organ Mode for this one to try to sound more like 60's vintage organs etc. Have used garageband for this one. I am playing along to a backing track in the original key of G Major like the original. Enjoy ! :)

      I have tried before but my body tends to be in the way of the camera once I turn the camera round and bring it closer to the keys, as I only have got a small keyboard and am using a small iPod camera swell as a camera stand to film these performances with etc, but I could certainly try :) thank you very much for your suggestion Lois :)

    plus i have just recently finished my guitar lessons too . Before that i wasn't quite sure about how to play the guitar as before that i was just playing on a soprano ukulele. so i played around with different tunings like open tunings, changed my guitar playing style and practiced loads and this was what i came up with.

  • @FretboardToAsh
    @FretboardToAsh Рік тому

    This will seem like the most unintuitive advice ever, but it does work and improve both skill and self-esteem. Stop looking at your hands. You are essentially trying to teach your hands/fingers distance, that is a physical and mental thing, at no point is it visual. If you were to close your eyes and use your left hand to grab your right ear, I know without a shadow of a doubt you'll get it in one go, but you can't see it. Nor do you need to see the instrument or your fingers in this case. By involving your eyes, it will initially seem like you're making it easier because you can see whether you are doing it right, but you're actually making the learning process slower for your brain because it isn't forced to 'feel' how far your fingers have to stretch, the strength they need to use, there is no feeling or identity attached to individual notes. Simply because you listened to your eyes instead. Your ears will not learn to listen for the right notes either, or at least far slower, and memorizing a song is slowed down as well. Keep at it.
