      Plus you need other time and effort to put into "paying your dues", as well as a huge dose of luck to be known enough to fully repay this or another, even more expensive, instrument.

      not to down play midi players but it always just feels like pressing buttons fast, with this kind of instrument no only do you have to press the keys, different pressure also changes the sound, and there are lots of techniques to things like bending, vibrato, release, which add a whole other dimension to the playing that separates the good players from the bad, other than speed

      @v000000000000v 6 років тому +29

      go tell a pianist that he/she is just pressing buttons fast lol, you can press every key perfectly and it can still sound like ass, things like timbre, phrasing, dynamics, if you played fortississimo like pianississimo or vice versa it changes the mood of the song completely, which is also why electronic pianos aren't just binary buttons, there are many sensors involved, multiple pressure sensors, velocity sensing, all of these are beyond just 'speed'; and i already mentioned how guitar has different string manipulation techniques to add to the music. so no, they are not just pressing buttons fast

      No, Freddie would not have approved. He was really into authenticity, and was far more of a traditionalist than many people realized, especially when it came to his music.
      One time this guy tried to impress him by playing Queen on an accordion. Freddie was polite to the guy, but later told me he wished he could've scratched his eyes out.
      He was actually a big student of musical history and very into period instruments.

    The harpejji is an electric stringed musical instrument developed in 2007 by Tim Meeks, founder of Marcodi Musical Products, and is a descendant of the StarrBoard. The instrument aims to bridge the gap in sound and technique between the guitar, bass guitar, and piano.
