more on reading music and theory

2003-01-30 by spaceanimals <alciere@midmaine.com>

Check out Bootsy Collin's Jungle Bass EP. Check out the totally gonzo 
mind blowing keyboard work from Bernie Worrell who along with playing 
with P Funk, the Talking Heads, and virtually inventing synth bass, 
was a child prodigy and an extrodinary classical pianist. 

Check out my song, Ritalin Chile, at:

The flute intro is just a cool jazz chord that I stole and transposed 
and played on a cheesy Mellotron patch. I'm not good with theory or 
reading (wish I was better) but I slowly worked out the notes and 
counted on my fingers until I transposed it up to A minor. If I can 
do it, anyone can.

For the record, I am not a child prodigy, nor an extrodinary 
classical pianist. I like the key of A minor because it's all white 
keys (what are those black keys for anyway?).
