If u want to clearly get an idea…….jus listen to my renditions of Popular Hindi melodies.Generous use of arpeggios, chords, 7ths and a splash of scales!!
Brian Silas….Listening???

I personally don’t find anything great about brian. Listen to herbie hancock, chick corea, art tatum. Even yanni isn’t that gr8!

But then the question is…….why arent even piano players/keybordists fusing these technics……so much is being done in the west and even south east nations…india still largely remains piano ignorant:-(

I agree……Everything bout a piano is xpensive….buying them, tuning them…maintaining them….and getting good teachers to give lessons….an expensive affair.But….its worth it:-)

the problem with brian is that his touch isn’t that great and his style is a bit boring….even average pianists in the west have a better touch….:)
