J. asked:


Do you think I could get decent enough to play piano/keyboards in the band I’m in. Right now I’m rhythm guitarist, but our drummer really wants to play guitar on some songs so I’d jut play piano on those. I had about 3 months lessons at a conservatory, can read music (not well, mostly just read to learn melodies and key signatures, can’t really sight read and forget bass clef.

Our style is rock/progressive rock/funk/ anything we feel like, so I’m not talking anything complex like jazz improv or classical recitations, just decent enough to play in a band. I know how to form some chords already and can play half of the major scales in the circle of 5ths. Do you think I could be decent enough by september, when we’re all gonna be rooming in the same house at college together? Thanks
Yes, I do know the fingerings and can play two octaves at a time hands together, understand how to form major chords, etc. Yes I do know the difference between major and minor. Don’t ask questions with assumptions built into them to feed your own musical ego
I’ve been playing guitar 10 years, obviously I would pick most of that up.
