Just bought a Roland Juno Gi to try to convert from arranger playing to piano style. I only play as a hobby but was a professional entertainer (magician) prior to retiring recently due to ill health. Constructive criticism welcomed. (prepares himself for flames etc). As bad a pianist as I am, I am actually quite a good magician. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSWQR6eRTzc

I know. I filed it with my still camera, which records in quicktime or something, and had to convert it. The quality then suffered. I think it was my settings. I'm not so good with video conversion formats etc. Thanks for commenting. All the best for Christmas. Neil.

Nice job, good playing......
I would also suggest sitting lower or raising the keyboard so your arms are parallel.

Merry Xmas

Thanks for the suggestion re raising the keyboard. I'll give it a try. Having watched the vid., I also realise I could do with losing some weight too. Not going to be easy with Christmas on the way. Lol. I'm trying to learn to expand arrangements by extending chords and using 2nds, 4ths etc. So much to learn, but it's very enjoyable.
