Wow, maybe he can teach you how to do that whole pained expression while vigorously bobbing your head back and forth in not-rhythm with the music thing. Cuz it looks super tough.
I need to learn a different so-uncool-it's-cool instrument to headbang to whilst playing.
I think I could seriously thrash a honking bassoon rendition of Pantera's Cowboys From Hell.
I would make devil horns with one hand whenever I didn't need it to play the low notes, and I would put skull decals all down the length of the bassoon.
So what, exactly, is his left hand doing? I get the right-hand-keyboarding, but is the left hand controlling special effects or something? 'Splain this keytar thing to me, 'cause I ain't never seen nuthin' like it!
Laserbeam Rocketshorts is, if I had to pick a cool nickname, about as cool as they come.
His left hand is pushing down on a sensor strip that allows him to bend the pitch of the note(s) he's playing with his right hand. A lot of big synthesizers have a similar thing on them, but in the form of a lever or rocker switch.
Basically, it's a whammy bar, but more complicated and way less cool.
The "pitch strip"(left hand) has a two octave range. it increments in semitones which demands complete accuracy to achieve pitch. The "Black Bar" is for vibrato and is touch sensative, i also do finger vibrato. Hope that explains it, Keytarjeff

But at the same time...awesome, somehow.
Dude, Hoolia stole it from it from me--I was about to say, that man has the agitated-hemorrhoids-solo-face DOWN.
ReplyDeleteBut Rolf's version is way more concise AND unnecessarily explicit than mine, so he gets extra points.
ReplyDeleteAgitated hemorrhoids, ewwwww!
Is there such a thing as "unnecessarily explicit"?
ReplyDeleteMe and the words "dribbly butt leakage" don't think so.
