@@GlennMainMusic It was meant so! Check out this guy. He was the first keyboard player playing electric guitars sounds that really inspired me.

Keytars are so underrated. To me I see them on equal to a regular Synthesizer. I wonder why more artist don't use these instruments. The only musical artist I know that is mainstream who uses a keytar is Lady Gaga due to the fact she loves the 80's
@@GlennMainMusic trust me, it was. Sorry. I left something out. Your playing was awesome. Its one thing to be able to play any keyed instrument but its another to be able to ha e the technique to sound like its a guitar. You're got talent my friend. \m/ Rock On!
Yeah the static parts of the sound are fairly near perfect. But the expression elements are still a bit limited I guess because the keytar doesn't have as many "inputs"
I recently bought a Sonogenic SHS-500 as a birthday present to myself. It's my first keytar and I absolutely love it! Keytars don't just look cool, you also look cool playing it! I'll eventually upgrade when I'm ready, but this is my starter to the keytar world and I'm excited to use it outside of just practicing! (I produce more than live playing instruments)
@@GlennMainMusic Wait do you have any idea as to why these aren't more popular?? Its every pianists dream to shred like that on their own instrument. This shouldn't be considered outdated.
@@dited358 - I think that most people concider this as a 80's "thing" - But for me the 80's never died.. :-) I love to be able to move around on stage, and to interact more with the audience. So I have no idea why this instrument is not so much used :-)
If I thought it was a guitar-player I would maybe be surprised of some of the note-choices, like I believe there were some notes missing here and there in some of the riffs; but I didn't think that, so thought the opposite, that that keytar sounded so much like the originals, and grooved as much or more! Great ride :D
I really need to get a keytar. I’ll have something I can carry around with me wherever I go and just pull out and pay whenever I want without having to learn how to play guitar since I’m already a skilled piano player
😂 I have dug that song since the old days, and always wanted to play it like Iron Maiden did… so this is my best shot 😂 It’s a song that really deserves a REAL guitar , but one of my favourite riffs… so I just had to do it 🤘😃🤘
Just found this via Roland Cloud JD800 video and I wish I could give 1000 likes! I unfortunately don’t have a keytar but I also enjoy playing guitar riffs on keyboard 😄
Awesome video, glen 😎🤘🏻🎸🎹 it’s pretty cool that you cover segments of these songs on keytars. My personal favorite is the trooper. Especially since I’m an Iron Maiden fan.
Keytars are for weirdos, I'm a weirdo. I like weirdos and weirdos like me. Keytars are for me and for you, So keytars Rock! Forever on they are here to stay. Adapt to it! 😂
I own 15 keytar models from the 80s to now and sometimes i plug my guitar effect on my keytar to add some extra distortion and more metal side to my solos !
Great choices :) I think my favourite is the one I’m using in this video.. but mostly because of the inboard sounds and size of the unit. Perfect for flying 😃 I also have the KORG keratoses you mentioned , but I use them more for electronic synthwave gigs :) My first Keytar was a black KORG 😃😃😃
@@GlennMainMusic yep, some people consider it a cornerstone of Italo Disco. There was an early cover on Miami Vice, apparently by a live band, but they probably already knew it through LB's cover. Which is a good one.
Bro you’re the best, you have very expensive keytars and you decided to play with Lucinda, which has a good price and I’m interested on buying it. Thank you very much man 🥳🤘
Thank you :) I have them both, and I find the Lucina very easy to bring along on flights and tours.. but the Edge is a bit more “powerful” in the way that you can program it like a synth.. and more control over effects.. but that being said.. the Lucina is sooo nice 😃😃😃
That was awesome... I've got an old Korg Karma with the best guitar sounds I've heard yet.. I know it's not a Keytar, but I was wondering if you've heard the Karma before. I know it's got the same engine as the Triton, but I had a Triton and I don't remember having that sound it
the Lucina is such a nice Keytar it is not bulky or heavy you could play a full concert on this :D another nice thing to use is the Yamaha Reface DX it has a keytar kit it is so cool as a Keytar :)
You've programmed the bass in ? I only knew keytar from Edgar Winter and Jan Hammer. I stumbled on an Italian who also plays it called Fabio Santangelo.
Is thae ax-09 lucina to small or it's perfect size? 😊 I had a while shs500 but i was to small and its the size size but this has bigger size..But all the old models are not available anymore. Is there some websites to buy ?

Keytar's are the best instruments to ever exist and no one can convince me otherwise
I do sooooo agre on that :-)
Oh yes !!
@Gabriel Freitas it's just an opinion. Explanations aren't necessary.
With that said, I totally agree with him! I love the keytar! Greatest instrument ever!
it can mimic all other instruments, that's why they envy us
It's an instrument and you also need to learn how to play it, any instrument in the hands of a clumsy person is a piece of plastic
I've been obsessed with keytars and I've finally made the decision that I want one, I want to do my part to keep this amazing instrument going
Great man !! Its a fantyastic instrument :-)
I'm a guitar player. I've been playing for almost 30 years now [since 1992] aaaand I find this video fantastic!

That dude from Muse sometimes plays a keytar live, but he usually does pads or chords, not like a keytar solo which would be better
I do agere :) It is a Synth with freedom :)
Keytar is the worst instrument ever even the 80s are ashamed of it lol
really? Herbie Hancock has been using them regularly since the 80s. George Duke and Chick Corea too. Among others.
Ghost has two keytar players. They're wonderful at it, even going on a keytar solo in Mummy Dust
I wont lie......some of those were pretty good. As a guitarist, I am really surprised at how good synthesized guitar sounds have become. Great job!

That awesome ;)
Keytar is life🎹🎸🤟
Oh Yes .-)
So great voice of keytar great best used by rockers .
Thanx :) I just love to rock on stage with it 😃😃
In India can you tell the price of the keytar .
@@asphalt9gamer890 - I have no idea what this cost in India :-)
Hey Glenn, your performance of Laura's "Self control" was amazing.... really beautiful as a sound and playing! Thank you for the pleasure!
Thank you so much :) I just had to have That song in the top 10 😃😃😃🤘🤘
'The Trooper' on the keytar sounds like music from a Sega game. 😀
What a gas , That was really fun . Hey thanks .
Thanx 🤘😎🤘
Checking out this video after buying a perfect condition second hand Yamaha SHS-200. I love that I now own a keytar.

I’m a drummer, but I think I want a Keytar now as well ❤these were great!
Do it do it 😃😃😃😃 Did you check out “The Stick” from the 80’s… it’s a Keytar/drum thing :)
Great job Glen. Thx for this.
Thank you so much 😃😃
Great ! so now A CD album of this Glenn but then all riffs fully played.

That’s true.. I did not know that .. thanx for the info 😃😃😃

Great choice 😃👍😃
wow
😃👍😃
Really nice. Great playing and vocals too. Was on the fence vs the Edge, but you gave me hope that one can get nice results from the Lucina.

Please do all of the solos for the song fade to black
Oh Yes :-) They are awsome .-) Just need to practice a bit, and I am ready :-)
i enjoyed that!
Thats Nice ;) Thanx
Amazing!
Thank you so much 😊
great
Thanx 😃
I really want a keytar now😮
Thats Cool 😃😃😃
Sweet where can I get one can't find them where I live I definitely want a roland keytar nice job
Thanx man :) I believe they stopped making them a few years back.. so I don’t have any to spare…😂😂😂
Youre so fun!

Is thae ax-09 lucina to small or it's perfect size? 😊 I had a while shs500 but i was to small and its the size size but this has bigger size..But all the old models are not available anymore. Is there some websites to buy ?
I think the Lucina is Perfect size. On the road and on stage. And it’s so easy to switch sounds on the fly, and the pitch/mod is placed perfectly 😃😃
Oh thanks! :) You know where to buy it? What daw are you using? :)
Does the Keytar also play the beats/rhythm tracks like a regular keyboard?
No, This is just a solo instrument. Although you can play tracks from a usb and mix it with the stereo output on the Keytar 😃
dude.. you got loads of keytar.. lend me one
No probem man :-)
