We finish of my Super 8 synthwave track and I’ll share plenty of tips on music production in Ableton Live, arranging, automation, mixing and mastering.
If you are curious about my music production process then this video is for you. We demonstrate the newly .launched Native Instruments SUPER 8 synthesizer by putting together a quick track in a synthwave style.
Whilst putting together my fun money-themed Patreon promo-video I realized just how much fun it was to play the main riff of Money For Nothing by Dire Straits.
Here’s my breakdown of how to play and enjoy it yourself.
In this advanced piano lesson we cover a lot of ground, including the following topics.
Major 251 chord progression
Minor 251
Jazz & neo-soul chord voicings
Left hand rootless voicings
Comping and Improvising ideas
Plus you’ll get to enjoy the sounds of the Yamaha CP88 Rhodes!
In this video we compare four software pianos, two using physical modelling and two sample libraries.
Here are high-quality audio recordings of each piano.
This piano lesson shows you how to play a wonderful piano arrangement of “The Holly and the Ivy” based on a performance by Dana Daoud.
This is probably the final installment in my TOP 5 and how to play them series of videos. They were an awful lot of work to make so no plans for any more unless there is popular demand!
Hope you enjoy this episode where we feature my favorite organ riffs of all time. I wonder why you don’t hear so many organ riffs in modern pop songs?
Here is a detailed review of all of the musical intervals demonstrated on the piano keyboard. For each interval we’ll study how it is constructed, listen to the characteristics of the sound and play some songs that utilize each interval.
Follow up the video with a fun musical quiz that tests your ear training and knowledge of the intervals. I’ve created 20 questions to test how well can you hear intervals played on the piano, and if you can sing the intervals when asked. Best of luck!
Today’s lesson is a combination of a music technology tutorial of two cinematic sounding VST plugins from Native Instruments, Kinetic Toys and Thrill.
I’ll also give you some ideas about how to compose soundtracks for the horror movie genre.
