Summary of This Method
This book + online audio pack is designed to get you started on rock keyboard with solid foundations, even if you are a beginner. You will discover the essential reflexes to build effective accompaniment: chord choices, rhythmic placement, how to "comp" within a band, and tips to immediately give your playing a rock flavor.
The method goes beyond simple chord positions: it also guides you towards solo playing (phrases, motifs, intentions), allowing you to gradually move from accompaniment to melodic expression. The content emphasizes understanding (applied theory) as much as practice, so you know what to play, when to play it, and especially how to make it sound great.
The online audio perfectly complements the book's work by providing demonstrations of most examples. The full band tracks are designed for playback practice: the rhythm section is placed on the left channel and the piano on the right channel, allowing you to practice by replacing the keyboard part, compare your interpretation, and quickly improve rhythmic accuracy and musicality.
