hi all, I'm trying to be a songwriter, but all my heroes are rock guitar players. People like Dave Matthews, Wilco, Robbie Robertson who have that percussive rock element that is hard to get sometimes as piano players, you know?
think of all the famous rock musicians who play guitars -- thousands right?
now think of all the piano rock musicians -- not as many -- its so HARD!
for example 3 chords on guitar sounds pretty cool and Rockin'. But on piano, it's not so convincing. Billy Joel and Elton have commented on this difference in interviews.
Elton is a hero of mine, so I'm curious how do you write songs on your piano? any tricks /tips you can share? how do you approach it?
thank you!
