Teach Me Piano Deluxe 37

To turn on Auto Jam:

1. Click on the button that has a little red automobile on it. The blue light turns on to tell you that Auto Jam is
active.
2. Click again to turn Auto Jam off.

The Improvising Zone

The keys on the right play when you click on them with the mouse, just like a normal piano keyboard. This gives you
freedom to create whatever melody you can imagine. It also introduces the risk of playing notes that might sound a bit
awkward compared to the rest of the musicians.

The Red and Green Lights

Above the keys you’ll see a row of lights — some red and some green. These indicate which keys are in the same scale
as your backup band and make it easy to stay in key with them. Click on just the green keys to make sure that what you
play doesn’t sound too far off.
The Jam Grid
One way to make your music more exciting is to choose a new Key from the Accompaniment Zone and a new Riff
from the Auto Riffs zone at the same moment. But you can’t click on two piano keys at once with your mouse. That’s
where the Jam Grid comes in.

Each row in the Jam Grid corresponds to one of the seven piano keys in the Accompaniment Zone. Each column
corresponds to one of the 12 Auto Riff piano keys. When you click on a box, it’s like clicking the two keys at once.

To use the Jam Grid:

1. Click on the Auto Jam Button (the one with the small red car). When the blue light is on, Auto Jam is active.
Click on the Start/Stop button to begin the jam session.
2. Click on any of the squares in the Jam Grid and hold down the mouse button. At the next appropriate point in
the song, Jammin’ Keys plays a riff for you. If you choose a box that is higher or lower than the previous choice,
you will also hear a pitch change.
3. Release the button and change to another box in the Jam Grid any time you wish. The harmonies and Auto Riffs
will change at the appropriate beat.
