Good advice bro 💯
There is a lot of great info in this video. The analogy I often give...keyboard players should remember that they have the entire "orchestra" at their fingertips. There is a certain amount of responsibility that comes with having that much tonal output available. You wouldn't (necessarily) invite two complete orchestras on stage to play full on...all the time, and singers, and a full band, and....?????. As you suggest...maybe the main player is covering the a majority of the arrangement and the aux keyboardist just needs to supplement with two or three "woodwind voices", for example. (I'm not talking specific sounds here...just the number of voices).
When playing pads....take 6 or 7 of your fingers and tie them behind your back. Find common tones that work through chords, for example. Let the actual bass player cover the low end. Minimal is better. Be mindful of what octave the worship singers are in...and perhaps drop down one or go up an octave. Makes room for everyone. Those are my initial thoughts.
Eric Rudd great advice
Basically "More is less"
how would you deal with a keyboard player who overplays, almost sounding like one of those old saloon type piano players? I've gotten to the point of not allowing him to play piano and only stick to pads to get away from all of the timing and clashing issues. the only time I can say anything is when I'm leading so when I'm not I just have to mute him in my iem but it's still embarrassing knowing what the music sounds like as a whole.
What keyboard are you using? It’s pretty and doesn’t look over complicated.
Great question! Roland RD-700sx Stage Piano. I've used Roland products since I first started playing and this stage piano is simply great. It has an awesome feel. It's fairly lightweight compared to other 88-key keyboards and it has onboard sounds that are great for backup, should your computer happen to die. I use this in my studio as a main controller.
What songs would you chose to learn aux keys for a beginner
What is the meaning of pad?
Great question. A pad is a full-sounding, soft-tone chord or note designed to play underneath songs, but can also be played by themselves (many times while someone is speaking) that fills out an overall sound. Here's a great example: worshipartistry.com/songs/chris-tomlin/passion-our-love-is-loud/here-i-am-to-worship Select the keyboard icon, then the "Tone" video.
wow, don't want that job. I could take a nap and not be missed. maybe this is why most modern praise and worship all sounds the same.
