Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 13 2009, 08:25 PM
Mistheria absolutely blew away with his skills - what's even more impressive is that he has prepared some cool/doable absolute beginner topics (which is what I need). Click his image to check out his profile video.

Answering to Chris at the top post...
I'm really proud to teach at GMC and to pass you all my knowledge about Classical, Rock and, of course, Metal music. I'm graduated at Italian Music Conservatory and I play all instruments white keys, accordion included!
I found GMC thanks to my great friend and GMC guitar instructor Emir Hot, thanks so much to let me know GMC, all the great staff and GMC community. Great thank you to Kristofer, Andrew, Chris at GMC!
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 13 2009, 08:42 PM
That's really cool - have you guys played a lot together?
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 08:45 PM
...I play since I was 7... little bit too long time now... Anyway, since I started I never stopped, of course, and tried step-by-step to improve and know more and more about the world of music...
Hi Kristofer!
With Emir we had a great concert last year in Croatia (Split), we are going to have together albums and , maybe, some other show...
We could have some great playing also here at GMC sometime...
Posted by: Chris Evans Oct 13 2009, 08:47 PM
an Instructor plays Instructor lessons sounds like a plan here!!!
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 13 2009, 08:48 PM
hehe that's a cool idea!
We have done two of them, you can check them out here:

Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 08:55 PM
Chris, regarding Bruce Dickinson...
I worked on his album "Tyranny of Souls" and has been a great experience and awesome time for me! I worked on his album after have recorded 3 albums for the great singer Rob Rock. The producer was the same for both artists: Roy Z. After I recorded 3 albums for Rob Rock, Roy Z called me one day asking: "Hey Mistheria.. can you record for Bruce Dickinson?" ...you can guess my answer....
Yes Kris, I saw the videos... great!
I mean something like that but having me and Emir playing together... on the last concert we arranged one of my song and played sharing parts between keytar and guitar... it was really funny!
Posted by: Bondy Oct 13 2009, 08:56 PM
Awesome welcome, Time to break out my keyboard
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 13 2009, 08:58 PM
That sounds like a really cool idea!
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 09:01 PM
Yes Kris, I like you like it! With Emir we were already thinking about it... it could be cool!
Hey Bondy... let's "break out" your keyboard!!
Posted by: Shadow21 Oct 13 2009, 09:01 PM
I'll finally be able to take my keyboard out of my walldrobe! Yay!
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 09:02 PM
Hey Bondy... let's "break out" your keyboard!!
Thanks for the "awesome" welcome..!

Very cool, I'm definitely looking forward to this! Good to have you here, welcome
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 09:13 PM
As for my name...
Mistheria is my artistic name that I have since I started my Rock/Metal career... it is now my preferred name instead of my original...
Thanks so much! My purpose is to be useful to all GMC community, to have together learning and, why not, have great guitarists also shredding on keyboard!!
Thanks so much!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Welcome to GMC
Thanks! My pleasure...
Posted by: Neurologi Oct 13 2009, 09:22 PM
A warm welcome to you Mistheria. This is just the excuse I need to start playin' keys again. Organ was my first instrument. Many have come and gone since then including guitar of course. I look forward to tackling some of your lessons once my fingers catch up with my desire!
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 09:25 PM
Thanks so much for the warm welcome! Yes, why not, this can be the time to start playing keybs again and again! Let's play.. never too late!!
Posted by: Neurologi Oct 13 2009, 09:34 PM
Looks like I need to "upgrade" my two octave weighted velocity-sensitive midi controller!
Unless you can keep your lessons within that range? Hehe. Probably not I am guessing!
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 09:35 PM
I want just say that if somebody has some questions and/or want know something more about my music career and works and also about my teaching and lessons at GMC, I'm here and it is my pleasure to answer...
Also... if someone has some specific lesson topics/arguments (eg. chords, scales, improvvisation, harmony, fingering, ...) to focus on, I can take care of that and "drive" lessons in that direction.. just ask!
Posted by: Sensible Jones Oct 13 2009, 09:37 PM
Welcome to GMC!!!!
I've just been thinking about learning some Keyboards and now I think I've found just the person to teach me!!!

Welcome Mistheria!

Welcome Mistheria!
Thanks Fran!
Posted by: Marek Rojewski Oct 13 2009, 09:46 PM
Welcome in GMC Mistheria! I was thinking about learning keyboard basics to make midi backing tracks somewhere in the future, so Your arrival is great for me!:)
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 09:50 PM
Hello, thanks! So just in time!
Yes, anyway for ALL guitarists this should be the main idea to think about keyboard lessons... have the basic practice and fundamentals to play and record what you all guitarists need, such as backing tracks, demo songs, exercising for your practicing and more...It is really much better than the boring "mouse programming", you can notice the BIG difference once you start to leave the mouse and move on keys...
Posted by: Keilnoth Oct 13 2009, 09:50 PM
Woaaaw, awesome !
Welcome Mistheria !
That's really an unexpected slight difference. You mean, no strings, really ? Only keys ?
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 09:56 PM
Welcome Mistheria !

Thanks for welcoming! Yes of course only keys, black & white, I dont know nothing about strings!!
Posted by: Fran Oct 13 2009, 09:57 PM
That sounds really interesting!
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 10:01 PM
..my approach to the GMC teaching is absolutely in this direction... in fact I started my lesson series "Keyboards4Guitars" since my main goal here is to be useful to guitarist needs and match, as much I can, all guitarist's requests. I hope you all will find me useful on this...
To well match your requests and needs, just write and ask me what you need, I will have the best material to prepare the best lessons for you all!
Posted by: THE BUZZARD Oct 13 2009, 10:05 PM
WELCOME!!! mistheria.....i know you will enjoy it here at GMC, looking forward to your lessons!
Posted by: Jollygreengiant1 Oct 13 2009, 10:07 PM
just what ive been looking for! i have alot of trouble finding the correct chords on the keyboard to acompany the guitar, hopefully with keyboard lessons writing on cubase with a keyboard will be much easyer!
Posted by: Gabriel Leopardi Oct 13 2009, 10:07 PM

and that live video posted is awesome! Welcome again!
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 10:10 PM
Thanks, sure I'll enjoy at GMC, absolutely the best place for learning and teaching, and I hope also you'll like and enjoy with my lessons..
Posted by: arctic1234 Oct 13 2009, 10:10 PM
Wow a keyboardist ! That's really cool!
And guess what! I have just started taking keybordclasses!
haha, what a great timing!
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 10:17 PM
Great, thanks! Of course, we'll have specific lessons on "chords building and playing" on keyboards, so you can easily create arrangements to make your backing tracks... "Chords" lessons will start soon!
and that live video posted is awesome! Welcome again!Thanks Gabriel! On Bruce album I dont have solos or lead parts but has been an hard work about sounds, loops, atmospheres and for matching all producer (Roy Z) requests. As you know, working on background, sometime, is really complicate more than shredding!
I'm really glad you liked the live video!
And guess what! I have just started taking keybordclasses!
haha, what a great timing!
Good, yes it seems perfect timing..

Posted by: Ivan Milenkovic Oct 13 2009, 10:43 PM
hello Mistheria, and welcome to GMC man, your skills are awesome!
I hope the lessons will be complete beginner ones, so I can start doing some keyboard stuff as well!
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 10:57 PM
I hope the lessons will be complete beginner ones, so I can start doing some keyboard stuff as well!
Hello you Ivan! Thanks for welcoming and for appreciating my playing.
Yes sure, my "Keyboards4Guitars" series started and it is absolutely beginner.. from level 1.
Also the "Masters4All" series started, to learn the greatest classical masterworks... also for beginners.. level 2
Just to inform all GMCers!
At GMC I started two lesson series:
- KEYBOARDS4GUITARS
- MASTERS4ALL
KEYBOARDS4GUITARS Series is the basic learning and practicing about piano and keyboards, starting from level 1. It means, if you dont know nothing about black&white keys, this is your series to start with. Notes, fingering, hands and fingers position, ecc. everything for starting on keyboards.
This series will explore all topics about Piano and Keyboards: scales, chords, arpeggios, two hands playing and synchronization, ...
MASTERS4ALL Series is for who already knows a little about Piano/Keyboards and wants to learn the greatest classical masterworks (Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, ...). This series can follow or be parallel to the KEYBOARDS4GUITARS Series
Hope you will like the above Keyboard Series..

I forgot to ask... where are you living M° Mistheria?
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 13 2009, 11:27 PM
I'm from Italy, actually living in Zagreb (Croatia)
Posted by: Jerry Arcidiacono Oct 13 2009, 11:40 PM
Ok, I see some old dates here in Italy on your website. Let me know via PM if you'll play again somewhere in the north and I'll do my best to come!

Welcome on board! Good to see a piano/keyboardist teacher here at GMC.
I was wondering, and it may have been answered before, will your lessons be more orientated towards keyboard (as in synth, strings etc.) or piano?

Great to have a keyboard instructor with us

Wow !!! I have seen your presentation video, it's awesome. I can't wait to see one of your lesson. And I think I have a an new idea for a christmas gift.... a KEYBOARD.
Welcome in GMC man, it's a pleasure to see a keyboardist in the GMC staff.

Hello, my lessons here at GMC are generally and especially at the beginning for all keyboards. I am not going, right now, to talk about specific Piano topics or about the best keyboard nowdays available. The purpose of my lessons at GMC is to help and improve all guitarist needs on keyboard and to make them "mouse-programming free", connect your keyboard on computer for making your backing tracks on sequencer, write chords for your exercising and so on... I think this is important for now...
Great to have a keyboard instructor with us
Thanks, my pleasure!
Thanks man! Sure, see you soon over here...

Posted by: vampire18 Oct 14 2009, 09:14 AM

Welcome!! I always wanted to learn the Piano. In fact I have a dream to buy a grand piano in life. I used to play in school but not anymore. I would love to get my hands on those keys.
and you started playing when I was born..
Posted by: enforcer Oct 14 2009, 12:18 PM
Welcome Mistheria!
I used to be a keyboard player when I was a child... I roughly started playing keybs when I was 6 years old, but for about 10 years later I switched to electric guitar... I've been playing keyboards rarely since then, but now that GMC has someone to show the path, I may consider restarting from where I left...
See you around
Posted by: Caelumamittendum Oct 14 2009, 12:27 PM
With my question earlier I was more thinking along the lines of: will some of your lessons be with a piano sound? As I don't have any synth, pads etc. on my digital piano.
EDIT: I'll just take a look at the frontpage....
Posted by: Maestro Mistheria Oct 14 2009, 12:36 PM
and you started playing when I was born..
Great and thanks! So it is the time to move your hands on piano and your dream will be real!
EDIT: I'll just take a look at the frontpage....
Hello, YES of course, for the most all lessons will be on Piano. The two series that I started "Masters4All" and "Keyboards4Guitars" are for Piano, it means Piano sound (acoustic piano, digital piano, keyboard selecting a piano sound patch).
If some "pure" keyboard lesson will be, it will be included in another lesson series.

Absolutely great! It is a "sin" to trash away 10 years of learning keyboards... You'll restart your keyboards playing here at GMC...!

Posted by: MickeM Oct 14 2009, 12:56 PM
Welcome to GMC! I'm very much looking forward to your lesson series
It's been 25 years since I quit playing the electric organ, it's time to pick the old skills up once more and make them useful in music! This will be FUN!

Welcome!!!
Awesome, I really need a few beginner lessons
Awesome skills you've got, can't wait to see more from you!
You play on Tyranny of souls? Wow, that's great
Posted by: Matt23 Oct 14 2009, 01:46 PM
Also... if someone has some specific lesson topics/arguments (eg. chords, scales, improvvisation, harmony, fingering, ...) to focus on, I can take care of that and "drive" lessons in that direction.. just ask!
I'd really like a lesson on Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".
Posted by: Neurologi Oct 14 2009, 01:59 PM
Just checked out your first lesson here at GMC. That sure was fast! A great start to your new role here as our go-to piano/keys instructor. Well done!
A question/s for you. I know you are really keen for those!
I did state earlier that I only have a 25-key MIDI controller keyboard to trigger samples/patches. I am in the market for a fuller range obviously. What would you recommend given your ideas as to what lessons you will cover in future? I prefer a MIDI controller as I would tend to use in a studio recording context rather than live as it affords greater flexibility since I already have outboard sound modules, samples, etc. and don't need onboard sounds - just keys! I have my heart set on another Novation model which comes in flavors of 25, 49 & 61 keys. Could I get by with 49? I would probably save myself the trouble by getting the 61 key right off the bat I reckon?
I wish I got the bigger one to begin with now. I didn't expect I was going to start playing "proper" any time soon though ... that all changed with your arrival on the GMC scene!!!

Hello, beginner lessons are on the way... 1st already published...
Skills coming soon...!
Yes, I recorded on "Tyranny of Souls", and yes has been great..
Hi, great idea! I put "Moonlight Sonata" on the "GMCers Wish List"... coming soon!
Thanks for your suggestion

Hello N!
I would recommend you, for a great price/features ratio value, a CME master keyboard/controller (UF series include Wi-Fi MIDI connection - NO MIDI CABLE NEEDED!). You can check here the products list:
http://www.cme-pro.com/en/product-list.php?bc=3
Novation is also great choice!
As for 49 keys.. can be enough for now but maybe and I hope, if you'll get soon great improvements... then you'll need surely a 61keys keyb. I think the 61-standard-keys is good choice for any kind of use: practicing, playing, recording, studio controller (otherwise you have to use a lot the Transpose button/switch).
Hope my suggestion is useful for your choosing... if you have any questions, Im here...

That was really helpful for me. Thank you for your advice. The CME has a few features (especially the solid aluminium construction) that the Novation doesn't but then it works the other way too. Argh. Decisions, decisions.

Yes I know, when there is something to buy, expecially music gear, decision is always hard... anyway, think about the CME Wi-Di feature (wireless midi = no midi cables), it is really great when you work with laptop around and two midi cable less is always better!

I am now on the lookout for a new Keyboard so keep the lessons coming
Posted by: Gus Oct 26 2009, 05:31 PM
Absolutely great news !
Welcome on board.
I think I finally will put my keyboard into proper use . I bought it to help on my compositions, but it's very hard without the proper guidance.

Maestro, as You don't have Your board yet, I will ask You here:
- can You name some midi keyboards, that will be good for recording backing tracks for VST edition, and aren't very pricey?
Posted by: newguyatgmc Oct 26 2009, 10:54 PM
Just saw your videos and I must say you have awesome stage presence. I dont have keyboards but, nonetheless your lessons will be valuable watch.
Man GMC just keeps getting better and better.

Hello! I think you mean a master keyboard to connect to your computer that is running some VST instruments, right?
Well... you should have at least a 49-keys, but a 61-keys is highly recommended.
I can suggest you to look at the CME keyboard series for a great price/features ratio .
I own the CME UF70 and UF80, I play on that from pop to metal to classical music.
The UF series include the wireless midi (Wi-Di) to connect keyboard to computer without cables!
Also all the features that you need to record and control your sequencer (sliders, buttons, rec-play commands, ...)
If you are looking for a small and really cheap keyboard the U-Key series (49keys) is also good.
You asked for a "not pricey", here it is... ;-)

Thanks for aprpeciating my video and performances. I really wish that my lessons can be useful also to that players not directly involved with keyboards... this could be really great. Best!

Dude this is unbelievable coincidence,
I am gonna move to this new apt starting Jan and guess what ....they have a piano in the apt as a part of fun and games for the residents. Can you believe that coincidence? I hope you make more lessons by Jan so, I can practice on that piano. Once I move in to the new apt, I will post a picture of that piano.
