2011-05-31T13:26:00.000-07:00

Keyboard music instrument. At first glance seem in view of the layman, or even novice musicians, all of the keyboard may seem similar to each other, ie as an electronic musical instrument bertuts are often considered closely related to musical instruments in the field of touch similar structure, namely a piano or organ that had the same keys (keys).

In fact, this is not entirely true, for (hopefully) increase your knowledge (especially the newly acquainted with the world per-instrument-music-notes-an), keyboard itself is different with piano and organ, but this is not discussed in this article, but I will discuss on another occasion in my other article.

In the area of the use of a more professional it is necessary to know and understand the keyboard according to the functions and capabilities. This is especially important considering the price of a keyboard that is not cheap, even much more expensive relative to other instruments.So we use our funds properly, I'll describe a little about the distribution of the types of keyboards.

In general, my keyboard is divided into 3 parts (I call "I share" because this is the classification of my own, so maybe there is classification by others, but I do not think there will be many differences)

Namely:

> Accompaniment Keyboard

> Digital Piano Keyboard

> Digital Synthesizer and Workstation keyboard

Touch of the notes, Legato, staccato, phrasing, dynamics and expression.

Exercises for Touching is intended to make, we as musicians, especially piano or keyboard player. We understand our interpretation in playing music. Not just playing music, but music must come out from our hearts. We know where we should be able to play loud or soft.

Rhythm And Tempo
Exercises for rhythm and tempo is addressed to all musicians include all instruments. Both as a player drums, bass, guitar, percussions or also piano and keyboard. We need to know the notes, beats and rhythm patterns. We need to understand also about the right tempo.

Rhytmic the music playing (comping). There is a soul or groove in bermusic. There should be a "life" in us playing in a band. We should know also about the TIME SIGNATURE (the song was played in a knock 2 / 4, 3 / 4, 4 / 4, 3 / 8, 6 / 8, etc.).

Harmony
Chords progression, voicing and Accompaniment.

Exercises for harmony is intended so that we can be more rich in the developing pattern of chords that we use in a song. Developing a sound also produced from the chords that we play.

And also to broaden the way we play in the context of accompanying a singer or a church. Because we are playing in harmony with the good, it will create a unity of good. With a good knowledge of harmony, we can make arrangements that would be more comfortable. Knowing our position as a musician, more as a companion!

They know the treble clef (key G) and bass clef (key F). They know about the KEY SIGNATURE (how many sharp (#) or flats (b) the song was played). In our view these signs by itself we already know that the song was played on what scales. Obviously it would be easier for us musically.

Several other guitarists who can match the game ritemnya can count for example: John Petrucci, Darren Housholder and some other metal funk players. Nuno creative techniques in creating new games have been known since the first album the band Extreme and the second group is: "Extreme" and "Pornograffitti". No wonder Nuno crowned the "Best New Talent" (best newcomer) so Extreme launched his second album "Pornograffitti".

In accordance with Nuno own words in the interview-an interview that the ideal is to write Nuno colored funk albums like Pearl Jam, Nirvana and the like. Therefore if you want to listen to Nuno's familiarity as a shredder, then we recommend you listen to the album Extreme: "Pornograffitti". The first album "Extreme" and third album "Three Side Story" is also not less good. Precisely Nuno own solo album and his new band Mourning Widows, not displaying the skill of the game Nuno own.

The dissolution Extreme Nuno quite disappointing fans. In 1982 the first time met Nuno Extreme vocalist Gary Cherone. This is the beginning of the band Extreme tsb. 2 years later (1984) Nuno leave school and concentrate on practicing guitar.

There are some guitars that are made by the manufacturer using a tremolo guitar and indeed most of the market using a bridge die, meaning no tremolonya tool.

Tremolo models

Based on the tremolo function is divided into 2 types, namely:

1. Tremolo up / tremolo to raise the tone of voice
2. Tremolo down / tremolo to lower the tone of voice

Now this market, many manufacturers make a combination and variation of this tremolo. Various forms of the model and the view is created, but it does the almost same ie tremolo tremolo up and down or combined into one that is up-down tremolo. The factory was just perfecting the mechanism for its function just perfect, but the same function.

Parts of the tremolo

Let us learn the parts. Due to the tremolo device of its kind in circulation is very much here I'll take a model example of the tremolo up-dawn RG Ibanez Lo Pro Edge. Note the picture below:

Use the picture above as a reference:

   1. Saddle - A small metal box which contained the middle clamp tool string guitar strings if the newly installed we would have to loosen the screws/ bolts behind it (the string lock screw), while the saddle in the middle between the strings and the string lock screw there is usually a small iron (string lock blocks ) as the retaining clips so as not to loose guitar strings when the strings are tightened.

   2. String Lock Block - small iron contained in the saddle/ sedel used to clamp the guitar strings. The tips we have to be careful when changing the strings because little iron is easy to loose and fell, terrible thing to fall and be lost without our conscious, so if you screw relaxed do not wait too long, the new strings have to be installed, or if we stay, the screw must diketatkan again so as not to fall.

   3. Tremolo Arm - Many of the states with term hendel an iron handle that is used to change the angle of the tremolo, where the handle can we lower or raise in order to raise or lower the tone. Flexible position tremolo arm can be rotated so that the handle can be positioned in the direction that we want so as not to interfere with the hand while playing the guitar.

   4. Stud - Tools of the nut that is used to raise or lower the position of the guitar strings with fret guitar, turn it clockwise to lift up and turn instead to humiliate him.

   5. Stud inserts - tool in the form of bolts embedded in the body of the guitar as a couple studs.

   6. Intonation Lock Screws - A handy small screws holding sadle/ sedel on Screw the base plate or base metal. If we want to shift the sedel stay renggangkan screws (Intonation Lock Screws) and slide sedelnya and Tighten screws (useful for setting a long string, the following will be explained how penyetelannya in another article).

   7. Locking Nut - This tool is not shown in the picture but is an important part too, is a string or a locking clip located at the "zero fret" fret most tip near the head of the guitar.

   8. Fine Tuner - round screws that can be played by hand allows you to raise and lower the tone guitar string, this tool will work or is required after the locking nut or locking diketatkan strings, so we can still high-low tone tune guitar strings through this tool.

   9. Tremolo Block - This tool is a metal plate that is placed down connecting tremolo with a spring or spring that is in the guitar body.

10. Spring - Spring or per/ spring, from the name you probably knew, there in the back of the guitar body usually consists of 3 to 5 pieces per, depending on usage.

11. Claw Hook - This tool serves as a liaison between the per and kerup planted in the body of a guitar or other term as pencantol per adjustment and pivot means firmness per.

This is not explained all the names that have drawn. By looking at it is believed you will definitely understand and understand, even if translated one by one will make my confusion.
