Many keyboard players are also guitar players as well. There are many guitarists on the forum. I play second lead/rhythm guitar and keyboards in my band Red Rhythm , alternating between them, sometimes switching mid song. Because we have a great lead guitar player I can afford to do that.

I learnt piano when I was young, switched to guitar as a teenager, then in the 80s when I was playing bass in a synth pop band and MIDI made an appearance I took a renewed interest in keyboard playing. Initially MIDI was a way I could create backing tracks to record guitar over. I ended up getting a few different keyboards and modules over the years and when the Internet went public I started Synth Zone in 1994 to list synth resouces online that I found looking for files and software for my own synths. There was no central directory of keyboard links so I put my bookmarks online and called the website Synth Zone . I guess other people also felt the same way cos here we are more than 10 years later.
