dug Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 We Have All Done It At One Time Playing Air Piano Like To Private Investigator By Dire Straits.Is There Anyone As Weird As Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I play air piano all the time. Bohemian Rhapsody, Twilight (By ELO) Sheep (Pink Floyd), Tell Me To My Face (Dan Fogelberg/ Tim Weisberg). All good air piano songs. Of course, I could manage a few of those on a real piano. But for some of them, the air just sounds better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 With my Princess Steinway in its worst state for 14 years, my only option left is to play all piano music silently.. My favourites on air piano include "Frank And Jesse James" by the late Warren Zevon, "Somewhere Only We Know" by Keane, a few selected favourites from The Everly Brothers, including "Arms Of Mary", and most Beach Boys material, particularly off the two initial albums. Personally, I believe it to be a relief that I'm not the only person who partakes in this skill (pastime, act, usw). Love and mercy Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunt_Acid Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I was a bit dissapointed to find out I wasn't the only one who participated in such nonsense. However, there is always the option of all of us forming an air keyboard band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuzikTyme Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 Dug, you are not alone. The dash board of my truck is my keyboard. I love using it to play air piano. The keyboard part in Audioslave's Like a Stone is one of my favourite solos. Going down the street I probably look quite silly, fingers up and down the dash like Rick Wakeman. I had a 65 impala that had a metal dash that I used as air drums but one morning I realized the dents may have never happened had I been playing the piano. Needless to say, air piano and dashboards go together more friendly than the air drums as I've yet to dent or crack my vinyl dash from hitting the keys.

Aunt_Acid Posted July 30, 2004 Report Share Posted July 30, 2004 I'm not saying anything here, but shouldn't you be driving the car instead of playing air keyboard, Muzik? "Well, officer, Lady Maddona came on the radio, I got to playing keys on the dashboard, and, well..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jillianne Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 No, I play real pianos, air guitar is more my thang :guitar: :happybanana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windy1 Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Yes, I do too. Mostly to boogie woogie type beats. My old great auntie( gone now, sadly) who was apparently the floozy of the family, used to go to roadhouses during WWII and play her heart out. My grandma read music and played in the church, but auntie mae played with a cigarette hanging out her mouth and a drink on the piano. She played by ear. They both taught me a lot and since I don't own a piano Its air all the way. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Joe Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Sadly, it's the only piano I can play. I've been Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and even Billy Joel at one time or another. No! I've never been Liberace. Who said that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Joe Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 BTW...I often play air violin whenever my wife is complaining about how tough her job is, how I don't help enough, etc. I must be pretty good...it usually gets me smacked.
