Korg issued a free style especially for that song, called Mustang Rock. I don't think this is it though.

Chas.....maybe after you've paid your dues and done 10,000+ gigs in your lifetime like some of us here have, maybe then you'll think of a "musical scenario where you'd find that useful."

Just a suggestion, perhaps a course in "musical creativity" might help? wink

you state "YOU, not the accompaniment, should be the focus. Well, yes, YOU are the focus, and yes, vocals and a strong right hand too, but you're forgetting something....the machine is not working you and taking the focus, you're working the machine. So the equation becomes "vocals, strong right hand, AND milking that arranger for all it's worth as part of your performance...or do you want to sound like that fellow playing the cha-cha on the Genos and never using a drum break or rhythm change?

To quote Donny...."do whatever you have to do to maximize your performance!" Mark says: I don't care how well you play (or how good your right hand is)....you need the variety in effects that an arranger keyboard gives you.....that right hand is not just for playing great licks!

To be fair to Chas, I'm curious......how many of you agree with this?

I think it depends on whether it is a solo performance or for ambiance at a dinner. In either case, accompaniment should not over ride the right hand or vocal, but focusing on yourself in the latter isn't necessarily the goal.

Mark, I don't know what's wrong with the statement "I can't think of any musical scenario where I'd find that useful". It wasn't a put-down, just a statement that reflects MY experience. As far as "Chas.....maybe after you've paid your dues", how could you possibly know what my musical (or life) experiences have been? I always try to frame my posts as OPINIONS, opinions that NOBODY IS REQUIRED to agree with. I recognize that everyone's opinion is as valid for them as mine is for me. That said, I don't think we need a 'poll' to decide who is right or wrong with every post you disagree with.

I have no problem with someone presenting an alternate point of view but insisting that every opinion post be deemed absolutely 'right' or 'wrong' sort of defeats the purpose of a FORUM, especially a MUSIC forum, where almost everything is purely subjective. I didn't think anything I said in that post was that radical, but if it offended someone, I apologize.
