The Letter...a really great song that still has a lot of mileage left in it.
Can anyone tell me how you would replicate the strums he's doing here on a keyboard? When a guitarist "strums" and hits all strings are the notes in the same order as a keyboard.
I'm assuming you just take that beginning A minor chord and roll it on the keyboard? But why does the guitar chord sound different than playing the same notes on a keyboard? Much bigger...more exotic sound.
I know a "pad" would give me the strum but I want to PLAY it. EXAMPLE: starting at :59.
