"Prayers for Rain" by The Cure; synth keys cover play-along

Описание: A fun one to play, and good practice for how to start learning to play with both hands since the changes happen in time for them. At the end I play snippets of the song with my patches only, so you can hear what they sounded like live on their own. I use a Korg Triton, and amazingly my old floppy still has all the sound mapping (sequences, in Triton-speak).

I co-founded a Cure tribute band about 15+ years ago called Fascination Street, based out of Seattle, WA. We loved playing The Cure's music and stayed together for about 8 years. I then moved on to my current band, Nite Wave (new wave 80's cover). I haven't played these Cure songs since then, but I want to share the patches and sounds I used as the keyboardist of the band (I'm mainly a bass player, but love keys too), and I thought it would be fun to play along with the Disintegration album since we did every song on it.

All credit to Robert Smith and the members of The Cure for crafting such an amazing song and album for the world, thank you guys!

PS: Nerd Alert! Some of you out there might see I play a G# in certain places, but it sounds like an A. The reason is I ran out of real estate on the keyboard and had to specifically copy the sounds and transpose them up a half step to those two specific G# keys on the keyboard, so when I played them they'd sound like an A, and it left the real A freed up to be part of the next section I needed.
