Ask Jordan

Hey Jordan!! Happy 10th year anniversary of the JROC! I'm so happy to have you as my main mentor for my keyboard playing, I even remember the day I signed up for the OC back in 2008 like yesterday. So God bless you man and hope to meet you one day!

Hello Jordan! sometimes my rock band picks songs originally without keyboards like RHCP or ACDC and it just feels like there's no room for keyboard. Do you have any advice on how should I play such songs or should we pick something else. Thanks

Hi Jordan, I'm new here and also I'm GeoShred User. Well, GeoShred is not a keyboard nor a guitar, I need a guide to be able to apply lessons and techniques on GeoShred, the fingering is the first matter and also the way to get good sound out of it.

I travel occasionally and when I do I have no way to practice with a weighted 88 note keyboard, especially with good action as it would need to be light-weight and compact. Any ideas? (Two 44 note keyboards that could be joined together?) Thanks :)

Hey Jordan! Just purchased a subscription to the JROC and I'm loving it so far!!! Great Job. I know this defeats the point of 'Jordans Riffs' but would you ever release your adaptations on riffs from say Awake or Images and Words?

Hi Jordan, question comes from far away (Brazil). I`m having a hard time performing arpeggios with high jumps like when you have to pass your thumb under other fingers to reach it. What type of exercise would you recommend to improve that? Thank you!

When you write, either with Dream Theater or on your own, do you go about writing the songs in chronological order from start to finish, or do you write it one section at a time and then connect the pieces together, or is it some other process?
