Photography, random posts and very little about kebabs.
So, a days rest and my loose finger seems to righted it’s self. Mostly not pushing down on keys. Maybe it’s a reflex training action? Anyway, had a play and recorded an audio bashing for you to ‘enjoy’
It’s not a great tune, just me hitting a bass note, then playing a chord to match (C, A, F, G). Timing is not great but what the hell. I couldn’t do anything 2 days ago.
Had a quick look at the piano lessons as well. I’m sort of tempted to have a go with that as well. A USB piano keyboard is available for around £50
Of course I spent the £50 and got the keyboard. Whilst it’s not a grand piano, it good enough to start with. Plugged in a started to plonk away.
So after a hour of so I can play a chord or two, O.k. it’s not great, but it’s my first attempt so I’m happy. Look out for more piano based threads! As per usual I flicked through the Garageband lessons to see what’s next, but I will return to lesson 1 until I can play a chord without finger 4 (ring, but on the right hand) pressing other keys.
(I’m not giving up on the AXE yet, will continue to play that as well.)
A shout must go out to the shop I bought the keyboard from. DV247.com I chose to visit the Birmingham store as I was in the area and didn’t want to wait or spend £5 on postage!.
After many a year of attempting the guitar I thought I’d try again. This time I’m helped by Garageband – part of the Apple iLife package. The current version has a different lessons to help you learn both the piano and guitar.
Only really done the first guitar lesson so far, but don’t want to rush as I need my fingers to get used to steel strings again. As before it sounds bad, but I’d like to think I could stick with it this time.
Had a quick look at the piano lessons as well. I’m sort of tempted to have a go with that as well. A USB piano keyboard is available for around £50 (or £80 from Apple!).
So do pardon me if I start talking about my AXE (maybe i’ll borrow Neils, cos it’s better than mine! – I’ve gone down the electric route at present as I can play it through headphones)
Live (ish) from my garden. More snow………
Jeffs security light next door has gone off, so I can’t update till the morning.
O.k. for those who’ve been on a different continent…..
It’s been cold, so cold in fact water turned to falling ice and it ended up as snow.
So I got cold, got an eye injury from a chav twat throwing an ice ball (Eye is o.k., well thats what the eye hospital said) and took a few poor quality snow shots.
And for the aircraft enthusiasts…..
