Nah, the latest one is 2 x guitarists, bass, drums and singer.

I was thinking of changing between keyboards and guitar though for certain songs if I can pick it up again!

Well if anyone wants to know, after messing around in google a bit, hitting usenet and the torrents finally came to mind, and theyre awash with scanned content. Its perfect, i'm happily sitting here churning out trouble as we speak

I play.

What sort of music are you interested in learning?

My own preference is for a tutor rather than online learning but that's probably because that's how I was taught.

You can get great electric pianos these days with excellent, realistic piano actions and sounds. Best of all, you can play them any time of the day without annoying people as you can use headphones

Try this for classical music:

Yamaha P120 - 88 keys, graded hammer effect from eBay for not a lot of cash plus a lot of voices too.

If I wasn't so overly protective of my sister I'd have suggested she gives you piano lessons as she's beyond grade 8 and bloody good (and goes to Edinburgh uni). SO that doesn't really help you much!

Can she give me a hand getting to grips with my minuet?
