    Good video, but you teach many wrong notes (right hand). Don't try to say im wrong, you just don't know how to exactly play this solo. Fingers that you use is not optimal to play easy. i've been playing keyboards for 23 years and i hear what's correct notes

    Hi Rob, great tutorial, tks a lot! I am having difficult in order to play on a keyboard. I mean: when I play on a piano keys is ok, but when I try on a keyboard keys, my fingers slides... Specially when I hit the black notes, then my fingers slips. Do have a tip for that?

  • @How2PlayMusic
    @How2PlayMusic3 ай бұрын

    I get it. I prefer weighted keys for all things piano related. That lighter touch on an unweighted key bed can feel different for sure. I would just encourage you to put some time in on the unweighted keys to get your muscle memory used to it. If you still can’t get accustomed to the feel you may have to spend a little more money and get a weighted key bed that you like the feel of. Not all weighted key beds are created equally so try a few out at a guitar center and see which ones you connect with.

    I also try to keep it as close to the original, and in intro third chord is pure C#m, without "7". Also, the second chord in intro to my ears is E, with bass part on note G#, not G#m. I also don't hear that disonant E note in verse, in original.

    Let me ask you this….would there be a way for you to demonstrate Mike’s background vocas in “Peg”? I mean, could you, would you play them out? Thanks

  • @How2PlayMusic
    @How2PlayMusic3 ай бұрын

    I’ll see what I can do. Those harmonies are amazing in Peg. I just saw an interview from Rick Beato with Michael McDonald and Michael was saying how those harmonies were so close together that he had to have them mute his previous parts so that he could concentrate on the next harmony that he added because of the dissonant intervals.

Now, this one, Tupac made a rap version of, Hornsby himself praised Tupac in a comment.
