Another upload documenting my dodgy Piano playing progress. In this one I take Amy Winehouse - Back to Black and butcher it on the Yamaha P155 Digital Piano.
Keep at it! ✊ This song holds a special place in my heart. I used to write for a soap in the early 2000s and a new, black, feminist character joined the show. She ran an edgy, provocative, against-the-grain, empowering women's magazine and the producers asked us to submit ideas for its title. I submitted Back To Black. It wasn't selected, but barely a year later, this song came out. I guess Amy & I were kindred spirits. 😁 Good memories! Still hoping to go back to writing for that show someday. RIP Amy W: Our nightingale, emancipated.
Hi Dave!, I have been looking at your piano videos because I am trying to decide if I will embark on a similar adventure or not.... did you had any previous knowledge on piano/music at all? Or was all thanks to skoove? It will mean a lot to me if you could reply and tell me your experience. Thanks!
Hi, That's an excellent question. Other than randomly hitting keys on a synth keyboard to trigger midi sounds I have no previous experience. If you are a complete beginner like me then you'll be fine. Skoove app starts you off really easy and if you practice you can do it. Document your hours spent at the keyboard. Try to 30-60mins each day and the odd 10-20mins outside of your main practice time. You'll get it. It'll come and after the few few songs you learn it's gets easier to learn new ones. Good luck with it!
👍 by the way there’s nothing wrong with reading music or tab while you’re playing no different than a person giving a speech with a teleprompter the rock bands were using a similar program in 90ls its not in real music notation it’s in tab but I consider it another form of reading music piano has a little bit but it’s not the same you’re wrong in your other video when you’re saying you can’t play without program it’s you need your sheet music because you’re still a little green do your homework and exercises I’ll try and clock myself on the 100 hours in 6monthsi dunno if can probably do 20 hours a week depending on my progress but I’m a seasoned guitarist so my hands are limber the whole reason why I’m starting again which I only messed around a few weeks years ago and I’m currently using simply piano for a week about and can play with both hands which I never pulled off before so I know Ive taken a good start so I was looking for someone like you that had worked with program. Good job 🙏 Music will change your life if you let it
