| I am leaning to play piano on a disguarded Hammond CMS-103. (Someone put this out by the curb with a free sign. It was originaly over 7 grand. Why did I include this. Because I'm shocked at what people toss.) Anyway, I labeled all the keys on my machine. C-D-G-F-G-A I memorized C for chopsticks. (C will always be the white key to the left of the two black keys.) I memorized F for Fork. (F will always be to left of three black keys.) I then found a song I liked on Google with chords. I picked a Ronny Millsap song, and played it over, and over again. Am I any good--hell no, but keeping piano/guitar simple helped me. Eddie Van Halen saw that his son was having a very hard time learning to play bass guitar. Wolfe told his father their are just too many chords. Eddie gave him some great fatherly advice. "You don't need to learn all the chords. 11 chords will allow you to play a lot of songs." A lot of Country, and rock, songs only have a few chords. |
