You are phenomenal, I wish I could play like you. Have thought for years about learning to play the piano so I could get a keyboard and start learning to play all the songs I love from the 80's, to which as far as i'm concerned was the best era for music. Watching your video's gave me the inspiration to go for it and have since started lessons. Thank you Luke for being the inspiration to get me started on my journey.

@pihermoso11 Жыл бұрын

Yeah the DX7 and Roland D50 basically shaped the 80s keyboard sound, everybody used the DX7 and Enya used the D50 quite extensively.. I'm impressed by the EMU Emulator II, when it came out it was as expensive as a car, but that keyboard just produces a full luscious sound even modern gear will have a hard time replicating, floppy disks FTW, that keyboard was also featured in the movie 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off'

I love hearing you play "Sirius" and "Safety Dance." Two songs I loved from my youth. "Sirius" from my days' at my local pool in our own little hidden world. You nailed that one. I didn't even realize you were playing the guitar part at first on the Emulator II. I thought it was the real track playing in the background to fill in the guitar part! And "Safety Dance" I've always loved, both versions. Fantastic!
