Yamaha PF-1000 Contemporary Digital Piano

Superb 88-key Graded Hammer Effect keyboard Dynamic Stereo Sampling for genuine piano sound Stereo Sustain samples and Key-off samples for added realism Huge selection of high-quality voices (308 panel + 480 XG + 16 drum kits) 259 professionally arranged accompaniment styles Large LCD with graphical user interface Max. 96-note polyphony PC interface (TO HOST) for computer connection 6 blocks of digital effects (Reverb, Chorus, DSP) Score/lyrics display function and video out jack 16-track sequencer Built-in two-way stereo speakers (30W x 2) Custom 3-foot pedal with half pedal effect Built-in floppy disk drive Keyboard stand and music rest included In Touch with Piano Reality Although loaded with advanced music performance functions, the PF1000 is the first and foremost a fine digital piano. Carefully crafted to emulate the expressive touch and warm sound of an acoustic piano in every way, the PF1000 uses three layers of stereo piano samples, each set at a different velocity. What this means in real terms is that when you touch the keys lightly, you'll hear a soft, delicate piano sound. And as you play harder, the sound not only becomes louder, but also richer with more harmonic overtones, just like on a real piano.


But do bear in mind that if you read solely from tab, you will not be able to join in with other musicians and you won't be able to read music that has been composed for other instruments or written in standard staff notation / sheet music.

Online Guitar Lessons Just Get Better

At the same time, music software has also advanced a pace, which you can easily use in conjunction with your online guitar lessons. Some online guitar lessons include their own software which enables you to slow down a loop or piece of music until you are up to speed. The musical pitch is retained, so your instrument will sound like the instrument your can hear on the video, but playing at a slower speed.

There has never been a better time to go online and learn to play the guitar.

You can also buy this software separately, or you can download other music software which enables you to isolate the guitar chords and bass tabs for any pop/rock song or other genre. Just select a song or music from almost any file format, such as CD or MP3, click "Analyze" and the chords, bass tabs and any hidden tones are revealed. You can then record and make loops or slow the piece down and jam along at a speed that suits you, until you're ready to go faster. You will quickly learn pieces that were just too difficult to get right before, all for the price of a couple of guitar lessons.

And one other thing. When learning to play the guitar, or other instrument, you mustn't overlook the valuable contribution play-along music or accompaniment music will have on your playing skills. CDs are available for hundreds of popular songs and music with the guitar (or other instrument) section deleted ready for you to play your interpretation. All you need is a CD player to have the next best thing to having a real live band playing along with you when you practice. And they will help you to feel more at ease when you first start to play alongside your friends and other musicians. Play-along CDs are also the easiest and least expensive way to make a recording which features you playing your own instrument. You can then, if you wish, submit your music to websites, radio stations or schools.

You can listen to, and compare different online teaching methods before you choose. Some concentrate on one genre, or a specific aspect of playing the guitar, like bass guitar lessons, acoustic guitar lessons, learn guitar chords or jazz or playing the blues or how to play guitar fast like Eddie Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Kirk Hammett and other great guiitarists.

For the cost of a couple of guitar lessons with your local teacher, you can download an online guitar lesson for absolute beginners, intermediate or advanced guitar players which will take you on as far as you wish to go, with your hobby or career. And of course you only make one payment. And best of all, you only have to turn on your computer, in a few months, or a year, to go back for a free refresher course. Most come with a money back guarantee.

Online guitar lessons, using new advanced music software technology, are an excellent, and inexpensive learning system for those pupils who do not respond well to one to one lessons, or even find them intimidating.

Uniquely, online guitar lessons simultaneously stimulate our sense of sight, hearing and touch whilst we repeatedly watch, listen and play, in our own time, at our own speed, in our own home, which helps the learning and memory process.
