Outstanding! Great playing. Lots of variety in your riffing that holds my interest from start to finish. I can imagine you grinning from ear to ear while playing this. Music like this makes me wish I still had the family piano in the living room.
Not crazy about the drums, love the piano tho!
@Paulieworld Thank you for listening and leaving kind words. I actually wasn't grinning when doing this shit. It appears I have little tremors in my hands. Might need to see a fucking doctor now.
And I wasn't happy especially with the last part. My thinking was: why bother redoing it again or spend 3 hours manually editing what was wrong: nobody listens to it anyways. So I thought fuck that. Just post it.
@Gavinski thanks. I planned to make it a piano solo piece, but it turns out I needed to add drums and bass to hide some of my approximate playing. What would you do with the drums? I don't find it particularly attractive either.
I'm not really the person to ask I reckon as I don't use drums a lot in my noodles myself. The main problem is the timing of the hits in the fills I reckon. Maybe you could just nudge them a bit in your daw or try to play those parts yourself from your keyboard? Sorry I don't have a better suggestion 😅 maybe someone experienced with drum programming can chip in.
Yeah! You’re really jamming on the keys here. Hope you make some more blues collections. Very enjoyable to listen to.
Thank you @Dav .I'll post the last one tomorrow. Then I think I will be done posting anything new here.
You could make your bass track your Groove Track and let that then influence the drums. That would ensure the drums and bass are synchronized. And the drums should probably have a bit more variety in them. You didn't mention if they are a sample loop or if they are a Session Drummer. If the drums are a Session player, just throw a little variety in there every now and then for interest. Adjust the complexity of the pattern and/or the Intensity of the playing in the spots where you need more emphasis.
If you need to know how the Groove Track function works, here's a quick refresher:

@NeuM yes it is the session drummer. As I said before, I didn't plan bass and drums at first. I went the lazzy cheap way.
I'll try and fix that.
Drums didn't bother me too much, but the pattern could've been broken up a bit as I said for the sake of variety. Anyway, you have more serious things to be concerned about if you've suddenly developed a tremor in your hands. I'd look into that first.
Sounded good to me, I’m surprised you didn’t play the piano part on a guitar given the previous tracks in this series 😊
Wait a minute… you did this on your ten note keyboard? Not bad, bro.
Thank you @GeoTony . I did that a long time ago with a gr20. It was horrible. I still have the gr20, but no guitar.
@LinearLineman , I’m in France right now, I played this on the cheapest keyboard I could fine with the best possible key bed, tried a lot, and bought a Casio. Don’t care for the internal sound generator but is actually quite good as a piano controller.
The version on bandcamp has been updated (like all the other ones btw).
Hope you'll like the drums a little more.

Thanks Joseph, will try to check it out later. What was the keyboard you settled on that was cheap but with a good keybed btw?
a casio privia
Thnx, I curious which model? They have different ones with different quality keybeds I think?
I bought the less expensive one at the time, kinda sorta "transportable", the 1100
