geoham Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 After several attempts to expand my four piece function band to five by addding a keyboard, I've decided to try and learn myself. We've binned a few songs because they frankly sound crap with just bass, drums & guitar. I'm still going to be mainly on bass, but switch to keys for a few numbers and cover the low end with my left hand. Before I can do this, I need to learn to play! Can anyone give any advice? I'm not entirely un-knowledgable, I had some lessons when I was school, but I'm far from competent! What I've been doing so far is: - Leaning common chords - Figuring out major scales - done C,G,D,A,E & B so far! - Playing along with songs I know the chords for - basic chords with my right hand and root notes with my left. - Trying to read treble-clef - using an iPad app where you play the notes it shows you on a virtual keyboard. I've tried looking online for lessons, but they generally are very basic. Any advice anyone can give would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
