I've been playing keyboard for about a year and a half...mostly developing my right hand lead playing. I'm curious, is there is like a book on playing scale runs and solos with both hands? (not harmony playing)
'cause I've been studying tabs for bands with very good keyboardists (Jordan Rudess, Michael Pinnella, Janne Warman)
and they do a lot of very fast scale runs that I can't play with my right hand alone.

Actually Jordans new intrucgional book has a section about that very topic. I bought mine at GC. Can't wait to dive into it!!

ah, what's the title of the book?
I'll assume it's not "Total Keyboard Wizardry" :tongue:

Jordan Rudess did a video on youtube about a similar topic i think right? unless I'm misunderstanding what your talking about....

Also, once I get a camera I will be making videos for how to improve dexterity and accuracy over time, as well as some to making some on speed - and tricks on how to keep melody while playing at high speeds, and more....

Once I do finally get a camera (for a while I will probably use my mothers lol) I will post the link somewhere here if there is a place for it :)

Pleased to meet you btw :)
