I've found that changing the 'style' I use for songs is an absolute necessity, if only for my OWN sanity .... How many times can you play the same tune the same way? After a while you might as well be on auto-pilot .. or MIDI ...
I often switch from a latin beat to a swing, 3/4 to 4/4, rock to latin, replace the usual beat with raggae, etc. .... Even if people are dancing, the switch from a ballad to a jazz swing or rock can spark the party ...
And to think that Buffet has copied ME in going from rock to carribean on "Brown Eyed Girl" .... I KNEW I should have had a copywrite on that ....
I've got a kn6000... Anyone out there have "smooth jazz" styles they can share ... or a website where I can find some? ...
thnx,
