Learn How You Could Save on Lao Electronic Keyboard

October 8, 2009 in Lao Instrumental, Lao Yamaha Keyboard | No comments

I think we spend too much money on getting a Lao keyboard instrument. An average people spend anywhere from $700-$1000 on it just because it’s their passion. Here is the deal, if you want a keyboard and you are just using it to entertain your friends at home.I would suggest going for an older model because you will save so much money.

The first thing I would do is go on Ebay and do a search for the keyboard by typing in the name for example “Yamaha PSR 520″ you will be amazed at the price. And learn how to load the styles yourself. This will save you even more. I got my first Yamaha from Ebay for $100 and it was great!

Good luck in finding your next keyboard!

Learn How to Play Lao Music on Your Keyboard In One Day

September 25, 2009 in Lao Instrumental, Lao Keyboard Styles, Lao Midi, Lao Music, Uncategorized | No comments

First, learn how to play the chords. You could download the keyboard chord chart from this post and start practice playing them. I would suggest you start out with learning these chords first – Dm F Gm Am C Bb – When you learn these five chords you could play just about all Lao country songs out there because with the keyboard you could use the transpose button for scaling the notes.

Second, learn the melody. For me I used a program call Vanbaso. I just load in the midi file of a song that I want to learn. Mute all the channels except for the melody and a play along with it. And if I want to get the chords for the song I would mute all the channels except for the guitar chord. You could also lower the tempo if it is too fast for you. Pretty cool program to get the chord and the melody part.

If you are not a visual person then I would suggest this program Midi2Notation. Just get the player version it is free! With this program you could print out the melody part of a song or just the guitar chord. Check it out!

The key here is to learn the chord of a song, the melody and then bringing them together. Have fun!

Download these programs, a free midi and test them out. This is how I learn! If you like to share with us how you learn your keyboard lessons please post it here.

Loading A Music Style files on Yamaha PSR E403

September 24, 2009 in Lao Instrumental, Lao Music, Yamaha Keyboard Styles | No comments

First, you need to install the music software downloader on your PC. The software should come with the keyboard. Once you have that, connect a USB cable to the E403 and in the software, click on musical instrument and flash memory.

Add your files and it will take about 10 seconds each to download.
When this is complete, you can retrieve your style files by pressing the function button and scrolling through until you find the sub menu “SFF load” all of your loaded styles will be in that area.

To load a style from “SFF load” press “0″ than press the yes button.
This will load that one style into style # 156

Top 5 reasons you should start playing the guitar

September 20, 2009 in Guitar, How To Play Guitar, Lao Instrumental, Lao Music | No comments

Growing up in Thailand, I never had a chance to play a musical instrument or have my own band. I was too poor at the time and still now! I am very anti-talent when it comes to music and it’s very hard for me to overcome. Just last year, I got myself an electric guitar. I had no clue what to do with it or how hard can it be to learn but I just I knew was that needed it!

5. Lamvong Lao – Leum Lai Ban Fan
Listen to a Lao band in Thailand playing the song “Leum Lao Ban Pha” with the guitar intro! Exceptional guitar piece. Video from YouTube.

4. Santana – Moon Flower
At the time, I didn’t know the name song but I just love the guitar intro solos of the song. Way to go Santana!

3. Loso – Somsan
Loso is great! Probably one of the greatest songs of all time..with very awesome ending solos!

2. Wanipop – Carabao
Thai band – they are good! The solo part is very inspiring. The first time I heard the song was just amazing to me.

1. Morlum – Motasai Hang
I love the guitar sound playing to this style of music. I guess I am a country boy.
