Karleb:



I play it like they play hymns on a normal Sunday service..


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBIyri8E8II

This is the video I was talking about, Zbone please tell me how you feel about it.

Cc: dramadiddy and gameboi..

what can I say? that's a genius at a work, an accomplished musician.

Dramadiddy:
loool u nd karleb una funny oh...na my lucky una dey finish like this...well he plays for the highest paying church currently...in lekki...this present house...when you go for an audition there, u lld have to play like him or better or manageable...

noo the guy is very very good
and I wasn't criticizing him or anything lyk that. I believe if a person can't play what another has played there is no basis for criticism.

Karleb:


My hymns? Ok, here's the list.

1. Silent night.

2. Joy to the world.

3. Deck the hall.

4. The first noel.

5. Hark the herald.

6. Angel from the realm of glory... to mention a few.


As per the video, I don't really dig the guy too although I know he's good but there is this Oscar Peterson's video that I have and it's really intimidating, lemme go check my archives.

kk
for the hymns are you using a score or you're playing them by ear?

Dramadiddy:
ddnt he keep u engaged throughout the time u watched it?

noo not throughout
maybe its just me, but I feel it was kinda noisy

my shout out goes to all those who practically live on these boards(nairaland). merry Christmas to you guys.

Dramadiddy:
Lool when you become advanced you wouldn't let any passage in a song have silence..buh he doesnt play like that in service ohhh...dat one dem go pursue am be dat...he just uses it as a bag of things to do when he's on an audition

if he does that in service, some churches will chase him o. i think you know an advanced player by his ability to keep his listener engaged throughout a performance. the ability to control oneself, even if you know a million runs you can play at a particular point shows maturity as a musician. less is more they say.

Dramadiddy:
Well I watched a video of one of the best pianists in this country and I was scared...this guy is craaazzy...well when I kept on watching it...what do u think i noticed?...he was playing simple things, but...with so much speed, esp the basslines and harmonizations, although the chords were complicated, I dont know 70percent of them, but If i sat down to learn it, definitely I would get it... So we all can, there are some guys here that are scared of the way some people play, but the truth is, if you knw what theyre playing, u ll knw all this shakara is only a matter of speed...and the road to knowing what they play is having the right mindset, always rehearse...dont live on past glory...glory dey finish oh!... anyways...enjoy this

the guy is good but over good dey worry am

Karleb:


Who told you?


I never go villa joor, I still dey around.

It's just the RCCG Holy Ghost Congress stress that's just setting in, atimes I'm sweating and catching cold at the same time.


I just hope that the tiredness leaves before Xmas or else, it's not going to be funny o.


Hey, it's good you guys are working on songs but as for me, I'm working on hymns.

@Drammadiddy Try and recover fast fast o.

Zbone I sight you.

gameboi:
You have it? Where did you download it from?

i downloaded the video on YouTube

gameboi:
I've been told to add Kirk Franklin's ''Thank you for your child''. I've not been able to download it.

dats three songs. this song is a tough one tho. I just listened to it.

WafiJoe:
The night that Christ was born by Kirk Franklin is the one we are working on.

I'm not sure I've heard this song, I'll check it out. I plan to learn "have yourself a merry little Christmas, let ur....". I guess there are different versions of the song, so I'll just find one to work with.

gameboi:
I'm currently working on Emmanuel(Noerman Hutchins), Now behold the Lamb(Kirk Franklin) and the ones I might be given today.

nyc songs, I have tried playing both songs before.
I think the intro is the hardest part of now behold the lamb by kirk especially one trill part lyk DAT asides that its a very simple song. Emmanuel, has some nyc chords in it.

this thread is inactive these days, what's happening people? its probably the Christmas activities shey?. anyway a merry Christmas in advance to all keyboard players out there.
pls share the Christmas songs you've done or the ones you are working on currently. I think we can still keep this thread alive during these festivities. thanks guys.

akinsadeez:


Bros..... pertinent questions from this story

1.) Didnt they have toilet facilities in that female hostel abi how come they were urinating inside a bucket

2.) Even if they were urinating inside a bucket ( as weird as it sounds) would they have placed the bucket right in front of d hostel in full view of everyone

3) or is it that the girls quickly donated urine while u were trying to 'escape' and poured it on you

4) or is it that they had urinated already and were just waiting for you to be the partaker?

5) lastly how did you know dat the content of d bucket was urine. By taste or smell

Oya talk true bros, you added a little maggi and salt to this story. .

ask himmmm! ask himmmm!

@dramadiddy
how's dat video coming?

Dramadiddy:
I was given a piano award

congratulations bro
but you no tell us now
what was the competition like?

@dramadiddy
I saw someone congratulating you on one thread like that. what's the occasion? birthday?

fair enough

shumuel:
With the rate Pink Lips is being discuss on social medias especially ours truely 'Nairaland' i think its going to be one of the Trendy new things in year 2015, so i thought it would be cool to post the Pix of our pick lips, dont you thinks so ? Am seeing MR Pink Lips being Born from here, we could even compete dont you agree ? So guys lets have fun and post our pink Lip pix. Mine below

am seeing Mr Pink Lips being born from here, lwkmd

naijaboiy:

yeah, pink cheeks lol

drnairalov:
i just hope he wins daz all...My problems re bigger

ME: whenever I get mad at you boo
you never seem to get upset, how do
you manage to control your temper na,

Wife: Darling I just go and clean the toilet.

ME: Oh!! How does that help??

Wife: I use your toothbrush darling!

any divorce lawyer in the house?

lolll...
i bet she doesn't kiss you

Dramadiddy:
lol sometimes I think I'm not up to the task thats why I just stayed on nairaland where I'll b anonymous

noooo... its about sharing knowledge with people o and trust me people will appreciate it. I know people who aren't as good as you, but they still post stuff on YouTube. it will be really NYC if u can see it as another means of developing urself. Its something I'm looking into myself.

Dramadiddy:
yeah I ll definitely do somethng..I guess I have a lot of videos to make now yeah?

yes u do o. we need more Nigerian pianists on YouTube giving us a naija perspective. I don't get to see many of them who really share good stuff.

Dramadiddy:
any minor can work for the 2,3,5,6,7 nd sometimes 4...the dominant can work for the 7,6,5,4 and 3 while the major can work on the 1,4 and sometimes 6...that one of what it will resolve to, i seriously dont knw hw to explain it thru writing

thanks. I will try to use these ideas. hopefully I can come up with the right questions. you're the best.
how about a video on YouTube?

Dramadiddy:
zbone I got some chords that have fourth chords in them, we have(On C) :

1) Dom13 : C G Bb E(hope ur hand cn stretch for this E sha),//A D G
b) Dom13 : C G Bb// E A D

2) Domb13b5b9 : C G Bb E//Ab Db Gb

3) Dom#9#5 : C G E//Bb Eb Ab

4) Min13 : C Bb Eb// A D G

5) Minb13 : C G D//Bb Eb Ab

6) Minb13b9 : C G Db//Bb Eb Ab

7) Minb13#11 : C Gb D//Bb Eb Ab

Minb13b9 : C G Db//Bb Eb Ab

9) Maj13 : C G B//E A D

10) Majb13b5b9 : C G B E//Ab Db Gb

yeah, I just took a proper look at the chords. I couldn't make some of those stretches on the L.h though. I like the voicings, they sound really open with the fourth chords on the R.h. do you have like examples like on what bass note I can use any of these chords and what chord it will usually resolve to?

its called growing up, we all have to deal with that sometime. no one can tell me they still feel the same way they used to feel about the christmas season as a child.

Dramadiddy:
zbone hope u got the chords I sent to you

yeah I've seen them. its just that I have been quite busy recently, I haven't been able to study the chords and fish out the fourth chords in them. when I do, I'll let you know.

am I the only person who feels there's something wrong with the title of this thread?

MrLouisVanGaal:

MrLouisVanGaal:
I want to quickly correct an impression. I do not hate falcao nor do i prefer van persie or wilson more. Falcao has proved to be a fighter and how he has fought to overcome his injury problems is one thing i commend him for. But i cannot start a player who still struggles for fitness. I do not care whether he's happy staying on the bench. If you must make my selection you must play according to my philosophy. I shall play other players who are fit and hope the injured ones get fit on time. Thank you

Louis na you be dat?
