Hi! I just got this greatbook for learning,
ROCK KEYBOARD by Scott Miller in the Hal Leonard series. It contains examples for backup & solo in all styles of rock including 'classic, hard rock, southern, alternative, prog & metal". Plus there is a CD for the music-notation challenged.
As soon as I get my basic chops as far as chords & scales, I'll start learning from this book.
Meanwhile I have been learning a lot by playing along with a Grateful Dead jam CD. The thing about a jam CD recorded at one of their concerts is, the songs just go go on & on and give you lots of time to pick up the basic chords & riffs. A more commercial CD would be much tighter and harder to play along with. (the downside is, they are so loose that sometimes you can't tell what the heck key they're playing in.)
A question that is off the topic... there are so few women rock guitarists. I wonder if the ratio is any better in keyboards...? How about in this group?
