Thank you so much for putting this out there, bro. I played aux keys for most of my time at my church, at first feeling bad that I wasn't good enough. Granted , the lead keyboardist is superb, but over time I learned so much. One of the most important lessons is that without all the other sounds I produced, the music just wouldn't have that touch (because I played everything as close to what was on the record as possible). Later there were times I had to play lead keys and this was fun too, but I realised it never made me more superior to whoever played aux

@DeyquanBowens 4 жыл бұрын

Aux keys is one position in a band. The aux keys position is only diminished in church because most musicians don’t have experience in a pro setting! They watch KZfaq and other social media and try to copy musicians highlight reels into real musical situations!

Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my cooworker after many years got amazing success with it.

Yes, I play in a lot of church bands and it feels like the aux player is completing with main keys (or defaults to organ). Aux is so important to make the song shine. I wish more musicians would understand the importance of aux keys. Thanks for shedding some light on this.

@DeyquanBowens 4 жыл бұрын

Yeah most church bands think that main keys is the position to show off! Main keys , aux keys and organ are equal parts to a song.

@demikoo 4 жыл бұрын

AUX is where I started playing keys as a kid at my church. It allowed me to play with the pros without getting in the way until I was solid enough to play main keys. Good times and great lesson bro!!

Facts! That’s how I came up! It’s not a diminished role and if done right, will take the performance to new heights!!!!!!

@its_james88perry51 4 жыл бұрын

Same here! I would set up/teardown the boards for services and weddings etc for the pro and as a payment I was allowed to play aux on the JX-3P. Back in tha day! Great video. I’m a few steps away from that set up!

My wife bought me a keyboard (Roland Juno DS) for Christmas. So I'm just 2 weeks in with learning how to play. My progression is a bit faster than others because I'm originally a sax player, so reading the music comes easy for me and knowing where the notes are on a piano isn't something I've had to learn in depth. Your videos are absolutely superb and very knowledgeable for beginners like me.

Hey thanks cuz! Yes it’s a great place to start because it gets you comfortable playing in a performance. Aux generally doesn’t play every moment in the song so it’s a great way to learn placement!

Hey bro first off nice tutorial. Can you go more in depth on the role of the aux player and how not to over play and still leave room for the other musicians. Also more on the sounds to you use and what kind of sounds are best layered together when playing aux. Also for the accents part for the brass sound starting at 4:38 what tone was that. Thanks and hopefully you can have time to help. Bless up

I will definitely do that! That sound is a custom sound i created. I tried to model a popular sound from the Roland Fantom called J Pop Brass!
