Ive been playing keys for almost 7 years, and used to enjoy playing stuff like Coldplay, Evanescence, and Augustana. Now I've been kinda bored with their songs, and want to find more challenging songs. Any suggestions?

For Miles(Vheissu) and The Lion And The Wolf(Earth) by Thrice are always fun.

I've been learning piano/keyboard all of about a week and I find the intro to Journey "Don't stop believin" to be fun.

What is good for a beginner that isn't Mary had a little lamb?

Trust me, no you don't.

Why would you say that? From listening to the first song on their page, their were many places where a synth pad could've been used to add ambience, but it wasnt there. I think they definitely could use one.

I figured he was referring to a keyboard player to play like electro pop stuff, there's been such a huge increase in the amount of that shit lately. Not dissing keyboard/piano obviously, it's an amazing instrument.

ohh ok. Yeah I wasnt thinking of THAT kind of keyboard work, haha.
I was picturing more ambient pad stuff, which would work well for their band
