One thing I’ve discovered...
Most of my friends who are piano players are used to the left hand playing accompaniment ...bass lines etc.
They struggle playing just chords with the left hand. And with arrangers, styles can only be played if one of the hands maintains some sort of chord pattern.
Hi, that was me when I got my first arranger. My piano playing was pretty limited, left hand arpeggio’s ( Richard Clayderman style). Getting used to the concept of playing chords with the left hand for the arranger , was pretty difficult for me at first. Having to learn about chords was the best thing that could have happened to me. The arpeggios I used to read note for note, took me ages to learn a tune. If only I’d realised an arpeggio was just a broken chord. Learning may have been less difficult.
There is always the full pianist mode on the arranger, something I’ve never gotten the hang of.
i WOULD LOVE A GOOD TUTORIAL ON THIS
To me it allways feels piano mode requires its very own arrangement, you can't just play a piece of piano sheet music and expect a perfect accompaniment..
I would love to see an indepth guide to this,
Hi Bachus, me too. The guy who used to sell me my technics keyboards was amazing. He loved demoing the arranger piano’s . I could have watched him for hours. ( sometimes I think I did ) never quite sunk through what he was doing though. His hands were all over the keyboard, with runs and fills and the accompaniment was following him perfectly.
Only thing that did sink thru was that it needed 3 notes to trigger a chord change, whatever single notes he played in between like the runs and fills, didn’t change the chords.
Needs a totally different sort of arrangement ie split : chord Style vs pianist style mode.
If you ever find a tutorial of some kind, luv to see it.
