Cover List
The songs or “The Show” I like to refer to it is a list of songs I’m working on. To complicate matters I’m building multiple lists. Why the lists are important is because on the Juno-Stage keyboard you can save a Performance list, a Favorites list and a Play List. The Performance list is the important one and I can save up to 64 of them on the Juno-Stage. In performance mode you can save all the keyboard control settings, layers, sounds, drum rhythm and volume levels for a particular song in a performance file. The performances are stored in the memory of the keyboard and can be backed up to a USB stick. So the next time I want to play song number 1 in my list I just load performance number 1 and wah-la … I’m good to go with tempo and part volumes set as needed.
My Pop Rock 70′s/80′s song list.
Though I have 30 some songs listed as of October 2009 I can only play about half the list. The other half are works in progress and a few I haven’t even attempted yet. Now when I say play … I mean I can play simplified versions with bass notes in left hand and chords and or melodfy in right hand. They surely don’t sound beautiful. The songs I like most feature a strong left hand bass arpeggio while I play chords and short riffs with the right hand. In the background I have the Juno-Stage drum rhythm playing and then my bad vocals which help cover up my worst playing. I’m not using any backing tracks.
My Boogie Blues song list.
A couple of the songs on my Pop Rock list I consider Boogie Blues songs so they are repeated here. I’m not capable of playing any good hot sounding Boogie Woogie songs completely yet. There are a bunch of simple boogie blues tunes I’ve learn in lesson books but they lack real pizzazz. Some will be good for fun fill-ins between better known songs. So currently I’m just building the Boogie Blues list and trying to finish up learning my Pop Rock songs.
