Give us a break, Ian... that's all you DO criticize!I don't use a Yamaha, I don't stick to lightweight 61's, I don't primarily play in arranger mode. And apparently, it bugs the hell out of you
No I don't. I'm not interested in what you play, other than it seems to work for you.
As I said, I am more of a traditionalist when it comes to playing piano, and it's much the same way with how I use arrangers.
You'll hear little criticism about Yamaha (and other) arrangers from me....my only criticism of your precious G-70 is it's portliness, and that really has nothing to do with it's arranger features, which are fine.
It appears that I'm far more capable of living with what we so generously get on today's arrangers than you (again, I'm the traditionalist)...it certainly goes a long way in giving me far more playing enjoyment. You are constantly bitching, and wanting more, while I'm usually praising and enjoying the arranger as it is today.
How you use an arranger is really of no concern to me (never has been...honestly!) although it seems more of a concern to you, hence all your explanations and excuses.
Have a nice day,
Ian
