September 3 2017: Keyboard and drums
While figuring out a chord progression on my keyboard, I came up with this arpeggio-style melody that is really fun to play. Enjoy this first clip!

This chord progression is one of my favorites because it sounds a bit unusual. Ever since I started I’ve been making sure that they are interesting and fun for all of the demos, but more on this topic later :grin:

Thanks! I’m not that good though, I’ve been learning how to play keyboard by myself for three years now. Online tutorials help a lot haha

I wouldn’t say faster, but I indeed have no problem with learning things on my own

I prefer self learning a lot of the time too but I don’t have the patience or motivation for a musical instrument.

I like self learning cause you can set your own tempo and take as much time as you need to learn. True, mastering a musical instrument takes a lot of time. My goal is not to become a masterful piano player though, I mainly use the keyboard to figure out melodies, song structures, etc.
