I'm having a mid life crisis

[outtatune]

But instead of buying a flash sports car, I'm going to learn how to play keyboards instead

Hello everyone!

Welcome aboard outtatune...

Believe me, you're not the first one here to respond to his mid life crisis with a new keyboard

Personally I'm deep into my second childhood now and believe me, keyboards are a lot less trouble and a helluva lot less expensive than buying a new corvette or sailboat or taking on a mistress

What kind of music are you into and what sort of keyboard ar you looking to buy?

Thanks for the welcome Gary

I posted a question about that here

Though I now realise it's in the wrong section, having the Which Keyboard Should I Get sticky at the top confused me - sorry

Hi there I just started playing four weeks ago and really enjoying it , I purchased a used Yamaha psr e333 and a new stool and stand 170 pounds all in ,best money I ever spent , once I got over the how the heck do I learn this it soon starts falling into place , I am learning from complete keyboard player by Kenneth baker book 1 that my music teachers uses with his pupils I only had one lesson and for other reasons not been able to take anymore but the book is very good for self teaching , it starts of with section s of popular songs but after 4 weeks I can play the first four songs very well with accomp and at correct tempo with chords on left hand I can play c g and f chord and I have had great fun playing around with the rythms and tempos of songs with the keyboard styles and voices thing I like about the keyboard is you can keep a song you learning interesting by altering stuff and experimenting , I also learnt a simple version of ode to joy and jingle bells and currently working on song 5 and 6 in the book which is a bigger challenge as I am moving on from the first 5 notes the book may not suit everyone as it gives you finger numbers and the notes have there corresponding letter name at side but I like it and as you go through the books it gradually builds up your knowledge

its a great book for progressing quickly
