I just bought myself a piano without knowing a thing about playing it.

Any piano players here?

I play guitars and know the some basic music theory such as scales & chord construction but absolutely no idea where to start.

So if anyone can give me pointers or advice, by all means...

piano terus? wah..aku beli keyboard casio je dulu nak belajar2 sampai sekarang tak tere..

some basic intro

all the white keys are in C major - C D E F G A B C

So you can easily play any chords in C major or A minor since you only need to be concerned with the white keys..

this should get your started..the rest just practice la kot..and lookup one of those chord guide thingy and play simple2 chords like C major A minor F major G major

the black keys are obviously the semitones flats and sharps later dah tere boleh main2 kat sini pula

tak payah terrer untuk main key hitam...

sebab kalau main key hitam jer, it's pentatonic scales. If played correctly bole jadi macam lagu cina!! muahaha

by sliding up down (pressing only black keys) bole buat bunyi cam drama cina.

Khairold,

U should have taken up playing piano before you get into playing guitars. Believe me, playing piano is much more broader in scope and more difficult to understand. But once you get to know all the piano notes, note steps, pitch, chords, dynamics, sustains control (using the 3 pedals underneath), I gurantee you can apply the theories to any musical instruments.. including guitars. In fact, playing pianos also involve tehcniques like appregios, starcato, triplet, and plenty of chords and licks. (But of course we dont have hammer-on, palm-mute and tapping like guitars... Smile

I started playing piano when I was 7 years old. Lucky me coz my mum was a Piano Instructor, I do think I completed my course becoz I have been playing until I turn 12 years old. (although my mum didnt certify that I graduated) Hahahaha! Later on I swicthed to playing guitar and drums... and I find them much easier understandable and quite specific in scope.

But I am sorry, since I dont have any paper qualification in playing piano, I regret that I dont know how to transmit my knowledge to you my dear friend. I would try to lend you a hand if I am able to do so. But please forgive me if I couldnt make you clear. Keep listening to Richard Clayderman, that's a good start.
