Q. I have a 44 key keyboard from first act and i want to get serious and become a great piano player but the only thing in the way are knowing the keys, please if u know jus help me.
A. I have a 44 keys keyboard too. It's a lot of fun. It's just...
C - D - E - F - G - A - B - C... over and over. The black notes are sharps and flats. I started learning chords first though. Chords are easier. For example a C chord:
Place your finger on C. This is represented as #1.
Then skip a key and place E. This is #3. (The key you skipped was 2.)
Then skip the last key and place G. This is #5. (You skipped 4.)
If you play them together, that's C chord.
You can play 1-3-5 (Shown above.)
And 3-5-1, and 5-1-3!
I suggest learning sheet music too, if you don't already know it. Google some piano chords and songs to practice with. If you go to the link then you can see the keyboard notes. It's pretty easy, honestly. I've been playing for a few months and I can play just about any song... (with chords!)

Good luck! You'll love piano!
What version of fruity loops studio 9 should I get?
Q. Me and my freind are making a mixtape of rap songs and we need a program to produce instrumental parts. I would buy the express edition because of the low price, but I want to make my own music instead of using pre-made loops. Should I get the fruity edition, because it comes with the piano roll feature? Or can you still make original melodies and chord progressions with the express edition?
A. Fruity Edition doesn't have recording nor piano roll (will be very hard to make melodies). Producer Edition or Sig. Bundle is needed for recording and wav form view. I would highly suggest at least Producer Edition. Since Image-Line gives you lifetime free updates, you'll get producer 10, 11, 12 ect for free as they are released. A good investment.

Girl that really wants to play guitar, doesn't mind the pain but NOT ready to give up soft finger tips!?
Q. I play piano by ear and I've wanted to play guitar for ages so I went and bought one - unfortunately I wasn't aware I had to sacrifice my finger tips!
I've read around and found that you do need to develop calluses so that it's not so painful to play but I don't want super hard, manky fingers considering I'm a girl.
I don't know how visible the calluses are - I'm prepared to take the pain but I don't know about giving up soft fingers!
I guess there are celebs i.e Taylor Swift who need to keep a good image but I've never shaken hands with her haha so I wouldn't know.
Any advice? Do the calluses eventually go away and you're left with hard skin or do your fingers soften up and they just aren't as sensitive? Also do you generally lose some sensitivity in the finger tips? I know boys are like 'man up, sacrifice the fingers for the guitar' but SOFT FINGERS ARE SO NICE
Also, are the calluses actually THAT visible?
It's the left hand I use to play chords. Also I want to go into either dentistry/medicine so is it important for me to have tons of sensitivity in my hands? Shall I try investing in a cover/playing with gloves on or something?
Thank you :) Also, sorry for the lack of jargon, I'm not that familiar with guitar
A. It takes an incredibly long time to form calluses. I taught my friends little brother to play guitar and he never developed them despite that he played all the time and one time we even played for 7 hours straight! I have just recently developed calluses but i play about 2-3 hours every day. My calluses are only on my first two fingers of my left hand.. And they dont feel like anything when i touch things it just feels like tougher to press on things :) i say don't even worry about it. Plus you lose calluses when you arent playing for long periods of time and you can make them soft by putting on lotion. Calluses are a lot like the skin on your feet, and you can have soft feet when you put on lotion, right? :) my calluses are not visible, but i can feel them when i am typing on touchscreen haha :)
