Guitar or Piano

October 22, 2008 | By zeyng In Personal, band, play piano | Comments Off

Most of the time there is a tension between guitar and piano in praise and worship band. both musical instrument can be midrange or higher pitch side.

As a amature guitarists, I believe they would much loving on midrange playing rather than high pitch side, this is the same for amature pianist.

For my opinion, sometime it is easier for pianist to play higher range of pitch compared to guitar players and it is sound nicer especially come out with those fill in.

Of course there is always a mix and play between these two. and also “cultural” dependance.

I have gone through this DVD for 2 times and I start to practice those concepts and techniques being taught by Paul inside the DVD. I really being amazed by Paul teaching method. One of the most I like is open chord concept, it really gives a modern contemporary sounding from my guitar, it is really nice to play this guitar voicing for praise and worship.

The next I like most is right and left hand damping techniques. This DVD would provide you companion instructional workbook as well so that you won’t miss some of important point from this DVD teaching.
