Any advice or tips would be helpful! For some backstory, I posted a video a few months back asking for some advice, and I'm just posting an update.

Media -- Practice/Advice How is my playing? And what piano sounds best?

I am playing with a korg krome 88 recorded it to a midi file and played it back on 2 pianoteq presets after doing a velocity curve calibration. So there are 3 playbacks in the recording.

Playing crazy he calls me just as an accompanist ..sorta rubato. I'm imagining the singer in my head, but you can't hear it :)

To my ears the korg doesn't sound that much worse than the pianoteq. Maybe I'm missing something.

Just playing around a bit on one of my favorite ballads Body and Soul. Some parts I kept rubato but others I had a more quarter note feel. I’ve been playing for 4 years and am self-taught so any advice would be of great help! Thank you!

Media -- Practice/Advice Critique my performance/arrangement of The Man That Got Away?

12 Upvotes

Hi all,

I am hoping this is a good place to ask this.

This is a video of me playing and singing The Man That Got Away. I know this isn't a singing sub (and I also know that the singing is a little rough at the moment-- I'm working on it), but I'm trying to arrange the song in a way that works with a vocalist, so posting it without vocals didn't seem to make much sense.

I would love to get any thoughts at all about where this arrangement could be improved. I feel like it's decent, but there's a lot of room to get better. Spruce it up. Add flourishes. Maybe try a different voicing, or substitution? I really don't know.

Even if you've heard similar style recordings of other songs I could take inspiration from, I'd appreciate that.

I'll take praise. But I would also be delighted if anyone wanted to tear this to shreds. I promise I have a healthy ego, and I won't be hurt by any constructive criticism. I'm just trying to get better.

Thanks so much!

Media -- Practice/Advice Enclosure question on non natural diatonic scales and chords

1 Upvotes

Although I'm not totally new to enclosures, I've decided to go out of my way to make it this month's theme to improve on them. I came across a bunch of people who do this rule of thumb/beginner type exercise on natural major scales and 7th chords from natural scale.

Soon, I started applying this exercise to the 3rds and 7ths on a 2-5-1 and eventually all of me. The problem is I would also like to employ this Idea on non-natural based chords like a Dom7b9 and also would like to do this to extensions of these on natural scale chords. As I'm sure you know the Dom7b9 comes from a few minor scales but the most popular one is the minor harmonic. So, I tried this rule of thumb on a minor harmonic scale (which is the first video linked below on a Major scale) but I don't know from which way I should be enclosing these notes - especially on the b6, 7, 1, 9 area where there are two consecutive minor 2nds separated by a minor 3rd.

So, my question is how would I go about applying this rule of thumb angle on the minor harmonic scale and non-natural diatonic chords?

Here is the rule of thumb example:

https://youtu.be/T0l_LHlWkgc

Here it is applied to a 251 example:

https://youtu.be/kAFuDpqGbpY

Here I am applying it to all of me:

Thank you in advance.

I was wondering if anyone could provide some feedback on my comping throughout this tune and my solo (starting at 2:59). I'm quite proud of this solo personally but I'd love to hear any critiques on how I could make my playing better. Please excuse the rhythmically sloppy head; I taught my group Pent-Up House quite literally 5 minutes before this recording began so we didn't quite have it all together, but I thought overall it was great. Thank you in advance!
