Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by zbone(m): 11:29pm On Mar 06, 2015 |
So guys, this is just an idea on how to structure a chord and use it as an appergio run over a number of octaves, up the keyboard. Before if I wanted to do an appergio, I would just strike the chord over three octaves going up, that's OK, but a cooler way is to play an inversion of the chord you are appergiating(i don't know if this word exist), cross over with left hand and play a single note which is a member of that chord, then with your right play another inversion, a note with the left hand another inversion and it goes on and on like that. I will use a Cmaj chord to explain better. if I want to play an appergio of a Cmaj chord as a run up the keyboard, -I will play the first inversion of Cmaj which is (E G C) with my right hand -cross my left hand over my right hand hit E (which is a member of the Cmaj chord -naturally my right hand will fall on Cmaj second inversion (G C E) -cross my left hand over my right again, but this time I hit G -finally with the right hand play the Cmaj chord in root position, but double the root ( C E G C ). N.B: it is good to practice this slowly, then build up speed. playing your appergio like this helps it to be connected and flowing with a sustain pedal. you could use this idea on any chord(triad), major or minor Hope this helps 1 Like |

Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 8:08am On Mar 07, 2015 |
Karleb:Yea, I wanted a bit of tension in it. Most times I play a III7#5 chord for a bit of tension. It just depends on Preference. I'll visit that site too. You won't believe if I tell you that I've not gone to church. |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 8:13am On Mar 07, 2015 |
EzePromoe:Hehe! 'twasn't really an error per se. It's something I just thought of trying. The mp3 or any other file will come Later. The Procedures for Joining the musical department of churches here is something else. And I don't have a personal keyboard. |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by EzePromoe: 9:05am On Mar 07, 2015 |
gameboi:Guy you're not alone on it o. In all these city churches, there are so many good keyboardists sitting on the sideline, so there is apparently no space for me. What I do is that I attend a church in the suburbs where I'm a crowned king at least ![]() |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by EzePromoe: 10:38am On Mar 07, 2015 |
zbone:Wait a minute. When the left hand is on E, the right hand should be on E-G-C like you said. Should that on the right hand be simultaneous or alternating? I need a better explanation. It will be best if you upload an MP3 or .amr file of what an appergio looks like. Thanks. |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 10:42am On Mar 07, 2015 |
EzePromoe:Haha! That's how it should be. You have to stay where your ministry moves. As for me, the churches I visited don't really have keyboardists that are better than me. The department is only scared of a change of style. So, I was told to be persistent for some months in order to get accustomed to their style of play. But I don't have such time. You won't believe when I saw one of the keyboardist Solo-ing with Chords. The sound was so awkward. Shey na that kind thing me wan Learn? |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by EzePromoe: 10:53am On Mar 07, 2015 |
gameboi:That's Ariaria style for you. ![]() |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by zbone(m): 12:38pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
EzePromoe: appergios are broken chords so you play single notes at a time. I don't have my keyboard at the moment, so I'll do a Voice recording later. |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by Karleb(m): 12:40pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
gameboi: Err you are now a sinner, right? Is their style of play that awkward? ![]() @Ezepromoe pls deliberate more on this ariaria style. |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by zbone(m): 12:49pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
EzePromoe: what's this Ariaria i keep hearing of on this thread, is some kind of dance style like azonto or something? ![]() |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by EzePromoe: 3:26pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
zbone:[b]@Karleb Ariaria is a genre of church praise and worship peculiar to most conservative (or should I add local churches?) churches in the East and parts of the South (don't know of other places) where most church praises are highlife oriented. In this type of music, you rarely here any infusion of minor chords. ![]() ![]() ![]() E.g An Ariaria keyboardist that play on key F wouldn't go beyond playing the F, Bb and C chords ![]() Though Nowadays they've started expanding their horizons by adding the sixth i.e Dm7 (key F), the third Am7, the flat seventh Eb7 and the second Gm7 (that is for those that are experts o). So generally speaking, all the augmented, diminished, dominant etc, are plainly OFF KEYS in a hot Ariaria session ![]() Hope you understand?[/b] 1 Like |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by Karleb(m): 4:09pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
EzePromoe: ![]() ![]() Yeah, I get it. So, Ariaria is just another word for Finger Imprisonment. Imagine restricting yourself to just 3 houses in the whole of Nigeria. No wonder gameboi couldn't adapt. ![]() |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by EzePromoe: 4:57pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
Karleb:That is ehn ![]() Anyway, it's what their audience love dancing to ![]() |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by gameboi: 8:45pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
Karleb:L ![]() Ariaria is A combination of Highlife and pop. The tempo is usually faster than normal songs. It requires the use of Ibotic chords and It requires good use of appregios too. And it's cool too. |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by Karleb(m): 8:45pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
zbone: Cool! ![]() Do you have any idea about this walkdown pianist do from the higher treble to base? |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by zbone(m): 9:08pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
Karleb: nyc you understand i don't get your walkdown stuff o |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by Karleb(m): 9:27pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
zbone: How do I explain it sef. ![]() It's just one nice walkdown like that, some people do it chromatically others do it on scale. I.e from the highest octave to the lowest. Do you get it now? |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by zbone(m): 10:23pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
Karleb: I think u mean like a descending run |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by Karleb(m): 10:27pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
Re: A Thread For Keyboardists by zbone(m): 10:58pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
Karleb: most of those runs are from practicing scales. you can form them, to suite whatever it is you're playing. so I would say practice your scales and they will just come naturally to you. |
