Awful hardware. You deserve a real piano or at least a decent digital piano!

@emarc37 I AGREE ... I sold that keyboard shortly after making those videos. I was not happy AT ALL with the sound quality. Someone told me that the Sounds that come with it are just 'samples' and that you have to actually BUY / download the better sounds. I didnt bother, tho, i just sold it and bought a Yamaha YPG, i'm liking it somewhat better but wish it had stereo output. Thanks for comment emarc.

@rxraymorris how / where do you buy better sounds for the prokeys 88?

[rxraymorris]

@MyLifeChanger I don't know, honestly. I was in a music store, complaining about the prokeys 88, and one of the tech's there told me about the "better" sounds. Maybe he was full of BS, who knows lol. I didn't like the keyboard anyways, so I sold it.

I'm having a hard time learning this song. Got most of it but would love to put all the little extas you have in it. Could you make a video, slow it way down, so we all can see your hands and learn the notes?

Thanks, Mel

@MMS05123 I could do that ... someday ... haven't made a video in awhile. Until then I would suggest learning and practicing "grace" notes ... they are the backbone of Floyd Cramer's style, and are what makes this song so pretty. Thanks for watching Mel

Yeah I play in Key of C, but go about -3 which modulates it to Key of A. I like the sound of the lower notes, plus sometimes i sing the song so A is better.

Sounds good, but sounds like an octave or two too low. But sounds good.

?? Behind closed doors is a Charlie Rich song. Other than that I don't know what you are referring to.
