@SeasideLee Have you found that you can always use the same notes in your left hand while use different melody in your right hand? I think I have found a few such universal LH functions!!!!!! Amazing!!!!!
I am thinking of buying a PX-320. Was wondering if it is a better to buy the wooden stand with the pedals or just a regular stand with the default pedal that it comes with. What would you advice? I tried the P85 - but somehow feel this one is better. A little unsure about the pedals though as I have yet to find one with pedals and stand. Thanks for your help.
I really like it and for the money its incredible, the polyphony is more than you'll ever need (no note dropouts that I can tell) loads of voices and rhythms, Grand piano sample is great, nicely weighted keys. I prefer Yamaha products but they cost a lot more (but I also own a yamaha motif rack that I can control with the PX too so I get the best of both worlds)
Great job! The Casio PX-320 is THE BEST keyboard under $700 bar none. Hard to believe but its true. I also strongly recommend the new Roland RD-300GX. It's absolutely amazing. Look me up if you come to California...got a full studio in the Sierras awaiting some serious jammin!!!
One more question on this, Lee and I'll leave you alone until I think of something else...Why don't you use chord inversions on the left hand to make the transition from chord to chord easier? Does it just sound better in the root position when you're playing arpeggios in the left hand like this? Thanks for your answers and sharing your talents. Much appreciated.
Mike at pianomagic believes that learning inversions slows progress in the beginning and I have no reason to doubt it. Inversions come in later but, you'll play all sorts of chords with zero effort anyway because of the clusters of notes in your right hand. The less mental thinking when you are playing the quicker you'll learn about expression and that is a huge big part of the puzzle (its not the notes you play its the way you play them!)
Lee, Just wondering on your counting, is this piece 3 beats per measure or 4 beats? In your practice and learning to play songs, how do you tell? Is there a process of how you come up with your left hand rhythm on each song? Just hoping you can shed some light on that for me. Thanks.
I don't count. To be honest rhythm has been my real kicker over the past few years I had a habit of slipping from 4/4 to 3/4 I shall try and do a video for you that may help you but I have to finish off another request first.
Wow good job. This is all I ever wanted to do... to improvise like that. Quick question, how did you know what chords to play with your left hand? Maybe point me to the right direction where I can learn some music theory on pianoworld?
The chords in the right hand follow the 1625 (I,vi,ii,V) or 6,2,5,1 pattern whichever you prefer. In the key of C CDEFGABC (12345678) CEG is the (1) Aminor (ACE) is the (6) Dminor (DFA) is the (2) and G/G7 (GBD/F) is the (5). With the 1625 pattern in the key of C any white note works for melody but always be careful with the 4th note of the scale (F). I am confident if you play around with that pattern you'll be able to do it easily in days or weeks :)
seasidelee, is that your nail hitting the keys making the clicking noise, or is it the keys themselves? i just ordered a px-320 and i'm a little apprehensive of such things.
Nope its not my nail...the piano makes more of a thumping sound (which even my CLP170 does) used to drive the Ex nuts when I was playing silently at night (even more than my snoring! LOL)...the camcorder seems to pick it up more than I notice it when I play.
The click you hear is probably more from the bounce back of the keys. This keyboard is no replacement for a nice grand and my Yammie CLP170PE is a far better piano but at 5 times the cost but, it is still amazing for the money IMHO
Glad you enjoyed them QuackyQuackerQuack! (love the name)...now I've finally purchased a video camera I should be able to expand some more on this for y'all (that is if you can stand anymore of my singing...yikes!)
hello, wanted to ask you your digital piano are a casio px-320? px-320 sound nice? i wanted to play a digital piano but i dont have any idea which one is better.dont know px320 better or a yamaha p85 sound nicer?or they both sound the same?
Yes it is a PX320 and I love it but, I also like many Yamaha and Roland digitals too.
It is a personal choice and its best to go play on as many as you can. You'll know which piano you like the moment you play on it (price being a factor of course)

Hi Piano 1827
I use a M audio pedal which is great and I would choose the wooden stand if the piano is not going to be used as a stage piano.
