One thing I’ve discovered...
Most of my friends who are piano players are used to the left hand playing accompaniment ...bass lines etc.
They struggle playing just chords with the left hand. And with arrangers, styles can only be played if one of the hands maintains some sort of chord pattern.
I probably didn’t say this so well.
It’s not easy for me to get a seasoned keyboard player interested in arrangers.
Case in point. Two friends both play keyboard in bands. I demo’d some styles for them from Genos. They were impressed and said they would use arranger styles except for the fact that they both played bass lines with the left hand and leads/fills with the right hand.
One of them tried my Genos playing a simple bass left hand. Every time he hit a different bass note, the chord changed....didn’t work. There may be a work around but I haven’t found it.
Guess my point is that arrangers(at least in my limited experience) are played much differently than other electric keyboards....or am I missing something here?
