Q: how do you do cool keyboard riffs? i got a new keyboard and im absolutely in love with it but im really rusty on the keyboard and i never learned how to do all that fancy stuff.
A: like using a nail, a keyboard riff is usually surrounded by things that are not a keyboard riff. for example, go to the store and get a coffee, *keyboard riff*, drink the coffee. you see what i'm getting at here. if it's just a keyboard riff and nothing else, it feels useless. keyboard riffs are primarily in support of other things that are not keyboard riffs. in fact, at the right time and place, just a single note can be the most powerful keyboard riff
