I can read. Sorry just everyone else around here ive seen share legit musical ideas and so on. The only postings ive seen of yours have been "unfinished 30sec clip" "wow guitar on keyboard just got easy" then I see stuff like "guitarist, drummer, keyboardist of twenty years ------------------------------------
I was interested in the quitar unit because I was curious to see how it operated and how the sound quality was. Yes this caught my interest. I was interested to see what the user (could program) the unit to do. Nothing wrong with that. So what if my clips were short. I don't have the means to post on the web. Am I the only one who doesn't post music on a regular basis?? (ABSOLUTELY NOT).
This would be more so enhanced by your "keyboard history" paper...not to insult any members here, I just found it odd that with your twenty years of playing you dint have any real world connections...band members...past bands...recordings...or anything independent to offer as part of that paper. Hell you asked "who is a famous keyboard player" ------------------------------
I had several players I planned on using and know quite a few off the top of my head. I was looking for others that were considered famous, but not so well known to the public. I credited numerous groups in my paper regarding their keyboardists. I discussed great musicians like Herbie Hancock, Ray Charles, Chuck Berry and countless others.
"Nigel I think someone's back. 4track if you're back just email me dude if you have something to say. Don't waste the space and time of others here.
Squeak"
Sorry, but everyone that doesn't agree with you ( or just questions ) isn't some nightmare from your past. The fact that someone else might have brought up the things that cause you an involuntary reaction now...makes me think maybe my early observations are correct. -----------------------------------
Ask any questions you like, I really don't care, and what I said was WELL WARRANTED based on what you said and the date you registered to the forum. You're either someone we've all had a disagreement with in the past who has disapeared on more than one occasion, or you're just a lurker to the forum who finally joined, and if you're a lurker what right do you have to criticize me? If you're new as to the date on your registration what have you shared and contributed to this forum? I've been a member here for 4 years--how about yourself?? Being a member doesn't require me to post music.
I used to peform with groups on a regular basis, but you know some people here are married and have families with children and can no longer perform or devote the time we once had to music. I am one of those people. I don't have time to perform anymore, so I get my enjoyment from personal play at home. I'm a full time college student, full time husband, and a full time father. My life is very busy. I'm thankful for the little time that I have to play at home. Just because I don't post music doesn't make me any less of a musician. Yes I have years of music experience, that I have shared with other memebers here in posts and private email as well. Once I start getting more personal time I'll start submitting music to the forum. Again what have you done? What have you posted to this forum?

Hmmm...
Scott - those are very broad brush strokes you are making there...and I have to say I do not share your sentiments.
I have two sons aged 8 and 10 and a 41 year old wife who surround my life in "Modern Rock" - Linkin Park, Creed, Nickleback to you and me. Not my favorite.
Both my sons have chosen to learn "conventional" musical instruments - Sax and Acoustic Guitar. And both really like it. I never pushed them into these instruments and I was prepared to essentially allow them to learn any instrument they wanted. Their music-school, run by the local council, has a waiting list for the sax, flute, piano and guitar.
I, on the other hand, have the PSR 2000 keyboard...
I think that it's hard to generalise.

Jermemy: I think it's TERRIFIC to hear that both your kids are enjoying learning to play a musical instrument, but .... The KEY difference between your situation and so many other families (especially many here in the US) is that music is increasingly less stressed, and even dropped from the school cirruculum altogether. Luckily, because you're a musician yourself, your sons have gotten a lot of EXPOSURE to both 'your' type of music, as well as contemporary music of today, as well as attend a school which actually 'includes' a dedicated music program. Unfortuantely, this is NOT the case with many (most?) families today, and many kids are given no exposure to develop an appreciation for music other than rap/hip hop. - Scott
