Melody on black keys only

[maugein96]

Brazilian kid, Clayton Gama, who plays everything on black keys only!

You'd never think so to listen to him!

Hi Tom.

Was waiting for somebody to tell me they were actually grey!

Maybe thats the PA version of monocoloured CBA buttons? Ive seen quite a few of them lately, but couldnt resist the mischief (as usual).

Ah, and I was expecting something like T.Rex Hot Love which would work reasonably well on black keys. I actually tried doing an accompaniment reflecting the rather single-minded character of the original and it is surprisingly hard to keep going consistently while putting the melody line on.

Got me on that one!

I have "composed" 2 tunes using only the black keys (and one whitey), key of C# if I remember right (maybe F#). It's a great key, if you ask me. Not so much for my upright bass playing friend, she hates the key (I think it's because she doesn't know the fingering positions; let's hear it for CBA!). Anybody else worked in these keys?

Fingering for C and F♯ is the same. An octave up is four buttons to the right, C to F♯ is two buttons to the right.

Now we just need somebody to transpose this to white keys only.

I don't know a lot about them, but I'm told that Scottish bagpipers usually tune their pipes to something "just above B flat".

Glad I don't live in the house above "B flat"!
