Anyway, thank you for posting the clip. I thoroughly enjoyed it. i coudn't care less if it was a backing midifile or a style. I'd gladly swap for keyboard collection for talent like that.

Are you inferring that keyboard players that play with a band backing also aren't real musicians? You must be kidding. How the backing is provided isn't important ( be it styles, SMF or a live band ), it is what is being played over the backing that is important.
Rico is an impressive player and I hope to hear more from him.
If you can do better then simply put your own clip up to make your point.

Nigel,
You plucked the words right from my mouth, don't know if it can be done like that on a Ketron, we shall see or not as is the case.
Tico Tico rates up at the tops, think this might be the guys nickname now, not seen anyone on SZ swing it like that ever, unless you know different and this guy is not afraid of the audio or the video. He's not into one dimensional and mono. I am glad I never said I could play that good, I would go into hiding now if I did.
Tony

Hello everyone. Thanks to my new good friend Scott Yee for introducing me to Synthzone and thanks to everyone for watching my videos. I started out gigging at restuarants in Amersterdam when I was 20 and played for ten years there. After that time, I took a long rest, and 6 years ago I took up singing. Twelve weeks ago I purchased a Tyros 4 and it changed my life because I can now play better than I ever did before with my other keyboards: a Roland G70 & G1000, which I've owned for 8+ years. I look forward to learning and sharing arranger keyboard information, tips & experiences with my new friends here at Synthzone
Friendly Greetings Rico
PS:
Just to let everyone know, I also play my keyboards in arranger mode. Here is is my live auto accomp rendition of Desifinado and Besame Mucho (see below). One of the reasons I typically prefer to play along with pro level midi backing tracks is because the bass line and drums are typically more authentic to what a live musician might play, especially because style loops are more repetitive. It's my personal opinion that playing professionally with a backing track is more difficult to achieve than playing in auto accompaniment mode because a backing track expects you keep up with the band, but when using a style you have an easier possibility to cover up mistakes by improvising a new chord or make a melodic change to your playing to match that different chord.
Well we have a new shining star just like his eyes, I had a vague idea it would be better than we thought and I was right, this guy is GOOD,GOOD,GOOD nice to have you with us Rico.
King Rico just rolls off the tongue, the old King is dead.... who was he anyway...heeee
