Having been gifted an unwanted synth, I now find myself totally addicted. I've played keyboard before a bit but this one is much improved from what was available back then and I've become engrossed. Last week I practised 6 solid hours til 4.00a.m. in the morning, woke up at 13.00 p.m., grabbed a coffee and then resumed. That was another 4 hours or so.
This is beginning to look like an obsession to add to the other obsessions and I now wonder where will be the time to relax and unwind.
Anyway, have been working on using the keys set mainly on piano to try and force me to play bass with the left hand and then try and do melody with the right. I was trying to find out how McCartney went about it as I'm told he simply taught himself and my goal is really just to make some sound as opposed to classical style. I decided if after a few more weeks it definitely seems as if I have some potential, I'll keep this up and if not, bow out.
I also think I need to try and control this manic practise as I've literally felt exhausted after tinkling for over 4 hours in one go!
