admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:24:02 +0000

Just last week, I created an online video instruction on “How to Play Lao Keyboard in 30 Minutes“! This is my first video online instruction and I think I am the only one who is doing this at the moment. If you get a chance please review this product and let me know what you think.

Also in this post, I would like to share a general keyboard style for those who have this keyboard. I was asked last week about it. So here you go. Let me as well if this sample works for you.

My Lao music sucks, what can I do!!

Wow! Happy new year to all. Hope you will make 2010 the best year ever. I was at the New year’s party in Fresno California; it was great except for the band and the music that they played. At time, as musicians we tend to sing and play songs that we like and not what the audiences really want.

This year I am going to be concentrating on playing Lao music that people like because this is what keeps them coming back. One thing that I have found is that it is not so much about the song but the style of music that you play. Paslop, Limborock, Talung, Offbeat, Megadance are some of the styles that many good Lao musicians neglect. Be sure to keep these styles in mind when you are playing at a party.

If you have a style that you think is the best at the moment feel free to post it in the comment section.

Learn How You Could Save on Lao Electronic Keyboard

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!

Another great place to look is CraigsList in your city under “Musical Instruments” Check it out!

Loading A Music Style files on Yamaha PSR E403

admin — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 05:31:55 +0000

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

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.
