Best tunes for a keyboard player to bring to a band
Posted: 19 Oct 2012, 04:05
Okay what are some cool tracks that people will know that can only really sound right with a keyboard in the band? Be it piano, organ, EP, etc.
I'm new to playing with other people. Recently started going to music jams at a few pubs.
I've been invited to join a covers band (duo) just for fun, our first rehersal is in a couple of days. What tunes should I quickly learn that people in the pub will love. got a gig a few days after rehersal assuming we can figure some stuff out!
I can play Buggles-video killed the Radio Star, I can do Madness - it must be love, I can do Monkees - a believer on the organ, its great so see people really dig stuff like that when I do it at pub jam evenings.
So suggestions folks.. whats cool well known songs which feature a keyboard prominently?
its quite annoying looking on youtube for keyboard parts of songs as people often try to play the whole tune on just keyboard, which is not what I want, I need to fit in with other people and play just the keyboard part that would be in the original track.
Just trying to figure out the piano part to Crash Test Dummies - Mmm mmm mmm mmm.
I am lucky enough to have a Nord Stage II so i shoudl be able to get the right sound for any purpose.
Right, lets here your top suggestions.... thanks!
