These were put together while tinkering with ways to play live. They were more to show AJ ideas I had more than for any kind of public benefit. Some of the unlisted videos I made are here, but not visible in YouTube searches.
People generally seemed to like them though. Neil’s YouTube channel is HERE.
Also, the PDF of my first attempt at notation of the Shine On keys is available HERE. (free)

Shine On Parts 1 & 2 - Keyboard parts
I'm trying to notate this piece for keys and sax, so have started sequencing it. I am clearly obsessed with SOYCD, since my first attempt at it was in late 2010. This video show the keys pressed on all keyboards - except the low notes on the Solina which were out of range for the graphic. Probably means I have them an octave too low. I'll eventually create a MainStage instrument of this set-up (and a version for Fantom G using Chicken Systems Constructor). Still working on the tinkly sounds.... So they are not in this video. Guitarists could perhaps use it as backing to practise the first solo. -
Shine On you Crazy Diamond Keyboards - Notation/Sheet Music - Sibelius, Kontakt, Arturia
Focusing on keyboard parts only to the start of the vocals for Shine On you Crazy Diamond. Want to notate it as part of preparation for a live gig where I'm the only keyboard player. Will use MainStage 2 and an FCB1010 MIDI foot controller. Am toying with using MainStage 3 to get the chord spreader MIDI functionality and trigger with a single note. Hope you enjoy the notation. Have learned a lot about ReWire and the Logic Environment making this. Also learned a lot about Sibelius 7.5 as it feels SO different in the interface to Sibelius 6. Cheers! -
Shine On You Crazy Diamond Live - MainStage, Kontakt and Arturia Solina/MiniV
Keyboard Parts only, played live. (Still need another layer of 4 note Moog and the Tinkles) It's just a "how I'm going so far" video for my mates in Sydney. As mentioned on my last attempt, here is the MainStage version of the keys for Shine On, with some B3 organ added. This is for my mates to practise along with before we next get together. I need to sort the organ part and add the B3 to the Rick solo in the middle. Hopefully guitarists might find it a bit of fun. Still working on the organ part as is painfully obvious!

It's a first draft and I hope someone, somewhere gets some benefit from it apart from my Sydney mates. -
How Deep is Your Love - Piano part (notation) with backing.
Another demo for my mates in Sydney - a proposed EP line in a format that should let them figure it out - the piano is pretty loud in the mix. We need to decide if Solina duties will be undertaken by another member of the group, or if I have to play both the Solina and the Rhodes simultaneously. (...and the key signature should be E flat major - not B flat major. Gotta love late nights...)
