#8 is, "Forget your band has a bass player and play tons of bottom octave stuff with the left hand."
I blame the classical background of most piano players and feeling the need to play all roles (bass, chord, melody), haha.
Lol, they love that 😂
Every amateur church worship band does this! Every single one!
@@WuwuwusterI can attest. I am the amateur church pianist. Been learning to do less though!
I am guilty of this
lmao I am guilty of all of them. Including "Forget your band has a bass player and play tons of bottom octave stuff". Maybe it's time to reflect some things..
Haha yes indeedy, well the great thing about making these mistakes is learning from them and being better because of it.
This is HILARIOUS 😂 I’m guilty of a few 🙈
It's really me reharmonizing every song xD
Ugh. Me Too girl! haha. Hardest thing not to do, especially on a tune you've played hundreds of times.
I've done all of these. Particularly transpose button and reharm on the spot
Both are inevitable, whether by choice or not 😂
@@TheRoneZone Actually I play in a funk/jazz band now so luckily it's ok to improvise harmonization 😅
I don't think the reharm part is bad at all, especially since he even resolved his "reharm" to his original chord voicing
It's definitely a cool reharm, agree with you there.
@@TheRoneZone great video btw!! :)
Not knowing my keyboard 🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🙋🏻♀️🤣🤣 love both videos!
hahaha! good one!!
Thanks for watching!
oh ma gad ,, the reharm one got me
FUNNY! And true.
Funny, CAUSE its true! haha
Sht hahahahah i relate to all of it
Haha, well it's better to be self-aware than oblivious I say! I have and still do these from time to time. It's just how we keyboardists our built! Lol
What was wrong at 1:54 ?? Sounded good 🤣
Haha, 10 years ago, played in the wrong transpose step in front of a church, was only half way through that the guy tapped me on the shoulder and asked "if I can check what is wrong" Never again so far :D
Not much views but really funny. Will try not to do all of them at once next time
Well thanks to guys like you, it'll get more views, thanks for supporting the little guys. And yes, to this day I still struggle with some of these, that's why I was able to make a video, let's be real, haha
man this is stuff is so classic lmao
Haha, a throwback indeed

And I’ll b the 69th comment 😃
😂😂
Get an arranger keyboard and fire the rest of the band. Problem solved.
Awwww man... I swear did all of these in ONE rehearsal recently. I used someone else’s board and didn’t give myself enough time to figure it out and then it all unraveled lol... Dude. You have talent, not only in music, but calling out the very embarrassing truth.
Side note it brought me great comfort knowing the transpose button thing has happened to other players. Your depiction was spot on!!! 🤣😅😬
YES! Sometimes I don’t know my own keyboard!
The other band members get mad at me for my rhythm.
Most wrong key problems. 😭
Oh yes, I know the struggles. Learning the keyboards just takes time. Listen to the drums and bass as much as you can for the rhythm. Keep it up, you'll get there :)
Where's "playing everyone else's parts mid-gig without any prior discussion"?
Had pianists play keyboard and I would add:
- playing the melody line with the singer,
-playing the bass line with the bassist,
- playing everything all the time rather than staying in one register and dipping in and out,
- not understanding the register that the instrument they are playing in sits in and that some instruments can't in real life/don't sound good as full chords and should be played as single notes
Wanna know the worst I've seen? Guy pretty much did all of that, but also would try to play keys on one hand, and bass on the other, using hammer ons. Neat concept...but he could not pull it off in the slightest. He'd also try to correct songs theory wise...even though they're songs that are already finished and well known. And the theory he was parroting wasn't even correct, or just overlooked other concepts that made what he was saying pointless. To be fair, every now and then he'd just play a simple part that worked, and I guess that's why we gave him a chance, hoping he'd just learn the parts....but then he pulled out the bass and keys crap AT A SHOW without saying anything...like excuse me? Why are you ruining our entire set? And when on earth did we discuss you doing this? Also, how did you somehow sneak a bass on stage without us knowing? I wasn't even mad at that part, I was impressed lol.
Haha, wow man, sounds like a handful. Just goes to show though that, 98% of the time, the most impressive and musical thing a musician can do is shut up and just play the part.
@@TheRoneZone Dude, that's so true. Often all you need are simple, yet musical parts, and that's it. In the past I wanted to be playing more, but then realized it wasn't needed, and heck even if I'm only playing a simple part...I'm still playing music as a job...the hell am I complaining about?
I felt the transpose button 🤣🤣🤣😅
You make that mistake once...you never make it again......Until you do of course. 😂
Excellent Video clip! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Deyvelynar Celebrated Dominance (search on google)? It is a smashing one off product for discovering how to learn the piano fast minus the hard work. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend Sam at very last got cool results with it.
OH YEAH.. blood runs COLD when you do it on stage before hundreds of folk going CRAZY over the "JUMP" INTRO.
The opposite of the transpose problem happens sometimes in our band. We only have guitar, keyboard (me), percussion, and vocals. Every now and then the guitar player will forget to put on his capo. Just the other week, we were playing a song that I don't come in until the first chorus. I hit my first chord, and it sounded awful, then the second chord sounded terrible too. I look at my fingers, and everything looks right, then I look over and notice the guitar player forgot his capo.
Guilty of EVERYTHING. Except #2 and #7.
Especially guilty of #1. Man, choosing the right sample takes x100 more time than actually playing. Dang it, why is there still no thorough guide to that on the Internet?! They teach you how to play the keys but nobody teaches you how to choose the best sample on the spot!
People underestimate the amount of work that goes into proper keyboard playing especially when doing Top 40 covers. When I was playing on cruise ships, I would spend about 3-5 hours a night extra during the rehearsal just to get the sounds right, while the rest of the band enjoyed a night off smh lol. Ahhhh good times, it teaches you a lot about sound design and what not, but man, it was a struggle, especially in the beginning.
@@TheRoneZone Wow. Maybe I should try to apply for a cruise ship music band too. What do they require for such position?
@@VasilyMusic The most important requirement would be the ability to play several different styles of music. For you as a keys player, it's important that you are familiar with how keyboards work and how to choose the right samples. Playing two keyboards at once to cover several parts is also important. The audition process will likely have some sight-reading.
#2 over play is THE reason I don't play in my church band anymore. Sometimes I feel like chopping their left hand off. Or yelling "we already have a bass player!"
2:50 Never ever use transpose buttons (except for octaves on small keyboards)!
That was really funny. Those faces man.
Thank you very much! Just letting you know there's a Part 2 as well, in case you want more of those faces, haha.
Fantastic video, I love how it feels like an old TH-cam video. Like Nigahiga or something. Just a fantastic formula for good, fun videos hahaha. And executed well!
LOL...the transpose button.
Man! That Keybaordist reminds me so much of me.. No Clue, No Skills, No Idea. Apart from that I'm not too bad 😅.
All joking aside, he's a really good keyboardist.
Hilarious!
I knew what happen on point seven before he said it because of his look kmllll!!
Hysterical. Lmao
Goated post to this day
this is my nightmare
gosh
So relatable man!!
This was hilarious 😂
Been there, done that :)
Yup, me as well my friend, me as well
ahhhh shit... once during a gig... playin "Jump"... I had the fuckin transpose one... and I had no clue... so... there I am... jammin to take all the spotlight at the beggining of the song... then... I'll be damn... I look down and the fuckin TRANSPOSE BUTTON WAS LIT... I PANICKED... and just before the lead started singing... I SLAMMED THE KEY BACK DOWN TO THE PROPER KEY... the lead singer started on the upper key.. and then SLURRRRRED the next not back down to the proper key... BASS PLAYER, GUITAR, AND LEAD GAVE ME A LOOK AND I WAS LAUGHIN MY BLACK ASSSSSS OFF...
only one that didnt realize what happened was the drummer.
BOY ON BOY... what a memory this video brought back.
THANKS.
