1000 Keyboard Tips

by Jacky Dreksler and Quirin Härle

This unique book is a tutor, reference book, songbook and dictionary all in one. It's fun and easy to understand with plenty of informative tips, which makes it well-suited to beginners and amateurs who wish to get the most out of their keyboards.

Split into 12 progressive sections, the book covers practically everything you need to know about electronic keyboards, such as intervals, dominant and subdominant chains, all scales, riffs, licks, phrases, patterns, intros, and endings. Moreover, you’ll learn about improvisation, arranging and composing in Blues, Rock, Pop and Jazz styles.

Finally, various special keyboard voicings, programming drum machines and MIDI make this book an invaluable encyclopedia. The accompanying CD includes many examples and songs to listen or play along to. Most of the material in this book can also be used by pianists.
