How to play: Living On a Prayer (Bon Jovi)

[@Johnny5drama]

Solid tutorial. This is a good transcription. Thanks. I play this with my wedding band now.

[@quincydrones928]

I want a whole album of you comping your voicing of classic 80's solos.

[@mattwaters6987]

Excellent video! Thanks for sharing!

[@bendangsenlajamir670]

Awesome 😎 looking forward for more of rock songs...

[@mikosoft]

Guitar solo impersonation was pretty much spot on!

[@samson8884]

loved the impersonations :P

[@chandeleerjet5637]

Would love to see song breakdowns like this just for studying different compositions. A lot going on here compared to music these days with 2 bar loops lol

[@GeorgeAmodei21]

Very GOOD! Thx you for making this Vid

[@chuckwoolleryjed1735]

Very cool. The only thing I was anticipating but didn’t see was a consolidation of pieces into a song. But you are very talented.

[@AudoraAudio]

Thanks very much! Actually... Every time I tried, the sounds were close enough that KZbin thought it was the original and flagged it so I had to take it down :( - It's been this way for many songs now.

[@AndrewMarks1278]

Sounds good without all the other musical instruments.Not sure what electric piano is being used but thanks for the demonstration.

[@dylanaguilar6545]

Amazing tutorial, THANKYOU so much

[@AudoraAudio]

THANK YOU for watching!

[@kmonyt]

Nice video Dave. Did you think about playing the entire song from beginning to end at some point in the video? It would be nice to hear it all come together with your particular arrangement. Or even overlaid on top of the actual song in the background?

[@AudoraAudio]

Thanks! I actually had to record this a few times because of copyright issues. The down side to having the sounds so close to the original is that it gets flagged by KZbin's copyright bot and prevents it from being viewable in some countries. I don't want that, so I'm forced to break it up and not play the whole thing like I want to.

[@atcfisherman]

Awesome

[@EE-su7mb]

You're awesome!

[@SantaFeGalloway]

Love this! Thank you so much! Do you have a sample of how to play Dead or Alive?

[@AudoraAudio]

Ohhhh, great song! I don't but that's a good suggestion to look at. Thanks Chelsea!

[@Alderbeck]

Could I assign your impersonations to half of my keyboard :-)

[@AudoraAudio]

I would LOVE to hear that rendition... :)

[@HollyFayHolverson777]

The sounds on your keyboard are bomb. My only comment is it'd be nice to here everything in.context from start to finish. I don't have the capability to download a ton of sounds between now and 2 days from now (which is when I have to play this song). Any suggestions on a "work around" (for lack of a better term)

[@ZachLuten]

Great tutorial, really helps with all the phrases of the songs keyboard parts. My only suggestion is slowing down when actually going through the phrases. For anyone seriously trying to learn, you'll have to pause constantly and rewatch even slow down the speed to catch it all.

[@DrKronos88]

How do you do the auto-harmony for the left hand?? I need to know how I do that please. Great vid!!

[@gustavolatorrepalacio3564]

You just have to transpose the effect to the harmony

[@chasejarvis7788]

does it matter what synthesizer that you have to get the sound samples on your synthesizer? because i have a Yamaha motif xs8 will these work on that model

[@AudoraAudio]

@@chasejarvis7788 It does matter - the Kronos and the XS use different engines entirely and the sounds are not cross-compatible. You'd need a Korg Kronos for these sounds!

[@alejandrovilches2470]

Great video! but one question: I don't understand how the kronos is automatically changing the sounds...how does it "know" when to change the sound? you said "while you are holding this you can switch to the next sound"..but I really don't understand how you did it... I appreciate your answer since I am new in keyboards and I am thinking of buying myself a Kronos because I want to play 80's synth pop. Thank you!

[@AudoraAudio]

I have a foot pedal that I press to go to the next sound in line! It's assigned to increment whatever mode you're in so I don't need to take my hands off of the keyboard to go to the next patch!

[@lucasrosa6187]

What's the model of your keyboard?

[@AudoraAudio]

It's a Korg Kronos

[@gyorgylukacs9147]

Arkadaşlar merhaba, ben org çalmayı biliyorum fakat yaşımdan dolayı teknoloji ile aram iyi değil. Midi klavye kullanıyorum. Bilgisayardan bu şarkıda kullanılan synthlerin adını nasıl bulabilirim? Teşekkür ederim.

[@AudoraAudio]

Korg Kronos

[@ivankg844]

I wonder where I can find a sound pack like this? I would like to buy, I do not have much experience with that

[@AudoraAudio]

www.audora.ca if you want to download for the Korg Kronos!

[@ivankg844]

​@@AudoraAudio Do you know about Roland GW8? :)

[@AudoraAudio]

@@ivankg844 I do, but I don't own any. I really wanted to get into the Fantom at some point, but finding other synths has been a lower priority for me at the moment.

[@ivankg844]

@@AudoraAudio Ok, thanks a lot for an answer

[@ScottPlaysKeys]

Thanks spot on! :)

[@TheGreatBeast]

you've been of great help

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΓρίβας-ω5τ]

How many sounds u use to play this song? Is it possible with a simple keyboard or u must have a synthesizer?

[@AudoraAudio]

You definitely need a synthesizer if you want the sounds to be like the album. I made these sounds for the Korg Kronos, which is what I was playing on

[@ΠαναγιώτηςΓρίβας-ω5τ]

@@AudoraAudio oh i see thank you very much!!

[@AGmusicOnline]

How do you switch from one sound to another without using your hands?

[@AudoraAudio]

There's a pedal on the floor, and it is connected and switches to the next sound when you step on it.

[@jamesbannon2328]

Hi Dave. I sent a message on your website but never got a response. I was juat wondering how you would set up the keyboards for Somebody Told Me, by the Killers.

[@AudoraAudio]

Hi James - My website contact page isn't working (I mention it on the site but I guess I need to make the message larger) There's a bit to it actually. Email me at [e-mail] and we can chat about it!

[@c6gav]

Can anyone tell me please what's the name of the instrument you blow into to get the woow wow sound..?

[@AudoraAudio]

Well, guitarists use them usually though some keyboardists too. What you're looking for is a "Talk Box" - I have the MXR Talk Box, but there are all kinds. Definitely neat to look into!

[@finnyboy82]

Vocoder thru the keyboard EFX

[@dariopianista]

Hi. How could be possible create that voice effect sound in a wav file ? And just playing it by pressing a key

[@lkppiano5211]

AWESOME Bro, I understand you, I speak Spanish

[@THESONICSPEEDDEMON]

How do you get the tone for each part of the song? If it’s samples how can I get them?

[@AudoraAudio]

All of the sounds you heard are programmed! There are no samples, they're made using the Kronos engines. If you have a Korg Kronos, you can visit www.audora.ca and the sounds are available there. If you have another synth, it'd be up to you to program the sounds yourself on that particular synth engine.

[@THESONICSPEEDDEMON]

@@AudoraAudio dang those are expensive lol. Someday I’ll get one when I save up maybe haha. Idk how but the tone in the chorus is the most accurate version I’ve seen on KZbin It brings me back to my middle school days when things seem so cool and happy. This vid happens to be uploaded during the time I was about to graduate middle school :(

[@nirdiner4076]

Where's the keyboard from?

[@Jorge-jo2we]

Hola! Podrías compartir los samples?

[@luisn2247]

Están en audora.ca es el paquete de 80 90’s. Sabes si el teclado del video es un controlador midi ?

[@synthartist69]

Great job on matching the sounds, especially the intro and chorus. The chunky part on the verses you describe does not sound like it is brass based to me. I am thinking it is organ based with no modulation or vibrato and very little release time. If not, then it is a bass based sound, such as a sequencer bass but obviously played in the higher not range. I am working on this now. Thanks for posting!

[@AudoraAudio]

I'd recommend listening to the isolated keyboard tracks - everything is MUCH easier to hear there and you'll have an easier time discerning what sounds like what :)

[@synthartist69]

Yes sir, I have, do not hear any brass in the 8th notes during chorus. Great job regardless!

[@kohlekocher]

Where do you get e.g. isolated keyboard tracks for a song like this? Wouldn't it mean you could also simply sample the whole thing (by splitting it in smaller parts, for playback of course....) ??

[@drivenbandnl]

@@AudoraAudio You keep refering to this isolated tracks. Where can I find (or buy?) these? It would come in very handy for a lot off songs! And also , where to find the tracks to isolated samples from? Thanks al lot and keep up the good work!

[@AudoraAudio]

@@drivenbandnl No problem at all! I don't know the legal-ism surrounding stuff like this, so I'll leave you a link and what you do with it is up to you. remixpacks.ru/ There are a bunch of other sites as well, but this is my sort of go-to when it comes to finding current remix packs, isolated tracks, sound effects and that kind of thing.

[@vendettaknight104]

Holy Jesus, what keyboard is that and where can I get one?

[@AudoraAudio]

It's a Korg Kronos, and depending on where you live most music stores either carry them or can order them in!

[@arniet1]

@@AudoraAudio phew that's pricey. What dya recommend for a beginner Dave? Thx

[@AudoraAudio]

@@arniet1 Honestly, if you can find used workstations from a few generations ago, you can catch amazing deals for very reasonable synths. Look into things like the Yamaha Motif (Not the new XS but like older models) or Roland Fantom series. (Again, older ones) You could also look into things like Korg Triton (Not the LE but things like the Triton Studio) or if you really want to get into programming hardcore, look at the Kurzweil 2500/2600 series. The 88 key keyboard have excellent keybeds, but stay away from the 76 key ones. There were mechanical issues with the Fatar keybeds and the weight glue coming undone unless it's a grey-colored 2600. Anyway, looking at older generation series workstations will give you a LOT of bang for your buck. It won't be the newest/latest/greatest, but it'll give you more than enough to work with in terms of learning programming, sound design and still getting some very usable sounds without breaking the bank.

[@arniet1]

@@AudoraAudio Thanks for that info Dave. Very kind for the detail. I don't want to get into programming, just be able to get a good variety of sounds, bit like if you were getting different pedal effects for electric guitar

[@georgiaphillips905]

Hey, this is a awesome video. What I've been looking for. Can I ask what kind of keyboard your using (like brand and stuff etc) I have a electric piano and a Casio keyboard, we're planning on getting a new one soon as the sustain pedal has completely stopped working on the electric piano and can't be fixed, have you got any suggestions because I would like to be able to do this kind of stuff as well as carry on my piano and keyboard grades. We were planning on getting a Yamaha.

[@AudoraAudio]

Yamaha has good brass and some synth sounds (Their guitars are good too) but I'm still a fan of the Korg Kronos which is what I'm using in the video. It's by far the most versatile workstation I've used.

[@EE-su7mb]

Impressions were the best part :)

[@franciscoaronafonseca5040]

Can you tell me what are the sounds you use ?

[@AudoraAudio]

The names are completely irrelevant. There's no standard naming scheme for sounds in the synth world; when I say MIDI Stack, it might sound different from a Roland, Kurzweil and Korg. Besides that, these are all sounds that I have custom programmed to sound like the album so there's no name for them.

[@franciscoaronafonseca5040]

Ok thank you

[@alexjesus9191]

Bien por la traduccion al español ..

[@tonygiedraitis7203]

Your keyboard sounds great , but i'm a beginner and you're not telling me the Chords. Love the song.

[@releasethehounds68]

does Roland make a similar sound pack?

[@AudoraAudio]

I don't work for Korg, I'm an independent sort. I can't speak on Roland's behalf, but depending on the synth it's possible that someone out there is doing this kind of work.

[@finnyboy82]

The answer is simple. No.

[@mastersyntek]

Hey man? How you switch betwen banks????

[@AudoraAudio]

I assign a foot pedal to increment +1, so pressing the pedal goes to the next sound in order. It's a function of the keyboard, nothing special about the pedal.

[@mastersyntek]

Audora Audio THNX ! :)

[@ramonsilva4695]

Great! You should also show the notes while playing.

[@nosebeareatsfudge3275]

Does the pack work with the new krome ex?

[@AudoraAudio]

Sorry, the Krome isn't the Kronos and doesn't have the majority of the synth engines needed. This is for the Kronos only.

[@beemerboomer6313]

what's the keyboard you're using?

[@AudoraAudio]

It's a Korg Kronos

[@beemerboomer6313]

Dave Champagne thx

[@luisromeromo]

Great man it’s been helpful

[@markfothebeast]

I have 200 and something preset voices on my Wal-Mart Yamaha keyboard. So I have to pick whatever sounds close. "Strings" sounds somewhat similar. I'm attempting to understand the world of synthesizer terminology and such. But it's tough to do so playing on a plastic turd. This thing takes a beating and keeps on ticking though. It'd probably survive if I threw it out of a moving vehicle.

[@finnyboy82]

If u have a cheapo keyboard then why are you watching a Korg Kronos video and attempting to learn pro synth stuff

[@spiderpyx]

Great tutorial. One thing I would do personally though is make samples of the C D and E chords with their bass notes so you can play them as single notes with one hand. Kind of cheating but it means you can play it all like the original without having to sacrifice anything.

They want too much money for the Kronos,,

[@AudoraAudio]

9 sound engines, a sequencer, complete KARMA, 3 gb of memory, a 60gb SSD in a musical instrument and it's user-upgradable? And it's too expensive? I'd buy another without question. Value is a relative term.
