This forum is great! Just wondered if any of you out there use Technics board?

Btw, how'd you all learn the many different chords?

Welcome to our group! I previously used Technics KN800, 1000, 2000 and 5000, but have not had one lately. There are several here who do use them, and there is a dedicated Technics discussion on Synthzone. You can find it by going to the bottom of the page and looking in the little box there.
I think Technics has a wonderful operating system and very good sounds. I also like their styles.
The mic input is just about useless and they always required a proprietary hard drive that was way too expense. I understand the KN7000 will take memory cards, so that is a big step forward.

There are many ways to learn the chords. Here's a link to one way:

Of course, "learning" the notes included in a chord is only half the battle. Being able to play all those chords in real time simply takes practice, practice, practice, practice.

I know all three chords already.

I know 2 of them already, I'm learning the 3rd one.

The trick is to use ALL THREE in the same song......Then you can call yourself a pro

I use 6 chords.
(2) midi
(3) 1/4"
(1) xlr
Do I win???

I recall a quote from the cartoon "King of The Hill": "... I don't mind them playing only three chords but I wish they'd get them in the right order..."

. now wait a minute!!!.... are there REALLY 3 chords, or just 3 inversions of the same chord?!?!? .... please don't tell me I have to learn more ... ..

OK Pro ...... you are now one of my closest and best friends. I LOVE the humor on that show ! I'm sorry if we ever disagreed before ! Can anyone decipher the Cajun speech that the one guy uses?????
Don? Anyone?

off hand I'd say it was Kentucky Mountain Chewin' Tabacky..'course, I'm just guessin'

He sounds perfectly normal to me. Donny and Dave sound like The Sopranos on the phone.

You guys are great! I'll check out the website on chords provided in this thread. I can actually play most chords including inversions. All these took years of practice and plays to be able to see it on the keyboard before the fingers actually plays it.

However, I am interested to know if there is any easier way to learn chords or if there is a formula to which you guys are using. My objective is to teach the best technique to beginners to learn chords.

I admit to being a sort of piano "strummer". I'd like to think that I'm always aware of voicings and inversions, but the simple truth is ..... I probably have "pet chords" that I use the crap out of with no brain input whatsoever.
When I'm conscious ...I try to mix up the voicings often to add flavor to the mix.

Hey Don Mason - You talkin to me? You talkinna me ??? I'll give you Sopranos .... You'll wind up sleepin with the CRAWfishes !

Nope - don't go there UD. I saw about three episodes, hated it and haven't watched it since. I just happened to catch the "paint gun war with the garage band" episode that the quote came from. We can still be friends, even if your sense of humor is low brow.

Put me in that low-brow group. I love it!
It has surpassed even the early Simpsons' shows.
My favorite remains "Frazier". Now that's funny.
