Hi. I'm a long time bass guitarist. Recently I've taken up teaching myself to play keyboards. I have a reasonable grasp of theory so I don't really want to start learning from the beginning. My plan is to first learn all the major scales. Ive downloaded a guide to most scales with the correct fingerings and was going really well until I got to Bb. I'm joking. I'm more than happy to put the work in to learn what I need to know. Alongside the scales, and going a lot slower, I'm learning to play the Wild Thing changes in 3 inversions in 15 keys with both hands. I thought about adding Stand By Me or a II V I but decided to keep it simple at first so I keep making progress. I'll add those things later. I'm using a 61 key midi controller and an old Arturia V license for sounds. I have to say that keyboards is a different perspective on music from the string instruments I've played up to now.
I've managed to google my way through the questions that have come up so far. But I expect its only a matter of time until I will need some real advice from experienced players. I've unlearned enough bad habits to know I don't want to be doing it again this late in life. Meanwhile there seems to be plenty of interesting reading available to me here.
