Nice, not a bad starting point at all. I'll follow this with interest at how quickly you upgrade your pianos if you camera gear is anything to go by data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Love the video, so serious lol data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Hah, hopefully I won't need to upgrade the piano unless I start performing - and even then this one is still a good start!
I wanted something with some decent action, the one I was originally going to buy at £500 - i tried in the shop and it felt to close to a keyboard. The FP-50 really feels amazing data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Although I see people recommend adding a sub.. i've got some cables to hook it up to my home theatre 7.1 surround data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Nice lounge and set up data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Yeah, you really need to play on something that feels right otherwise you'll just end up not playing on it. Feeding sound through a proper system will really help as the speakers in these things, whilst OK, aren't the best. I run mine through studio monitors and it makes the world of difference.
How long have you been playing? what do you do it for, hobby or?
Purely hobby. I had lessons when I was very young, but then footy and girls got in the way. I took it back up about 3-4 years ago but unfortunately had to give up lessons again (nerve injury) and now only play every now and again.
any words of encouragement, so that I do not stray from the path? data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 I keep trying my hand at complicated stuff - but really need to get the basics mastered - only had two lessons so far!
I know some theory of chords and scales, the circle of fifths - I'm hungry for knowledge data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7

Beethoven can PM Mozart.
.....desperately resisting the urge to make a joke about "a couple of Pianists"....
I'm afraid there's no short cuts, you have to learn the basics and practice practice practice. What I would say though is along the way learn some pieces of music that you really like to keep your interest as scales etc can get very boring and tedious, but if you can bang out a couple of tunes it really keeps your enthusiasm going, even if it's just a bit of pop or dance music.
