Hello everyone.
Thanks to my new good friend Scott Yee for introducing me to Synthzone
and thanks to everyone for watching my videos.
I started out gigging at restuarants in Amersterdam
when I was 20 and played for ten years there.
After that time, I took a long rest, and 6 years ago
I took up singing. Twelve weeks ago I purchased a Tyros 4
and it changed my life because I can now play
better than I ever did before with my other keyboards:
a Roland G70 & G1000, which I've owned for 8+ years.
I look forward to learning and sharing arranger keyboard
information, tips & experiences with my new
friends here at Synthzone

Friendly Greetings Rico

PS:

Just to let everyone know, I also play my keyboards in arranger mode.
Here is is my live auto accomp rendition of Desifinado and Besame Mucho (see below).
One of the reasons I typically prefer to play along with pro level midi backing tracks is because the bass line and drums are typically more authentic to what a live musician might play, especially because style loops are more repetitive.
It's my personal opinion that playing professionally with a backing track is more difficult to achieve than playing in auto accompaniment mode because a backing track expects you keep up with the band, but when using a style you have an easier possibility to cover up mistakes by improvising a new chord or make a melodic change to your playing to match that different chord.
