I'm an avid guitarist and former DJ. I'm currently in a band with no name (although we're leaning towards Sticks and Stones) as the lead guitarist.

I used to be a DJ, scratching and spinning vinyl. I also had a bit of experience with CDJ's, although I much prefer standard turntables and vinyl. I decided to stop DJing when my income to expense ratio killed itself. I later picked up a guitar and became very interested.

I recently got a M50 88, and am actually considering becoming a full time keyboardist. I've been playing around with it for about two days now, and I'm amazed that I've barely scratched the surface.

Well, that's my musical life story. Razz

Welcome to the family Smile

I envy you and your new toy(A couple more weeks until I order one). I DJ'd as well from '96 - '04 until I got tired of it and got back into Korg keyboards.

Let us know how you feel about the M50 a few months from now and how the band is coming along. Take care!!

Welcome Michael.

I say go with the keyboards, but maintian your relationship with the guitar.

Although I have limited talent, the fact that I play both lead guitar, and keyboards, (not quite as well on the keys, but well enough), has kept me playing in bands most of my life, and I've loved most every minute.

Congratulations on the M50.
Very Happy
