Step 1
Find a keytar. While it seems that in the 1980s you couldn't throw a can of hairspray without hitting a keytar, the instrument is not so easy to come by today. Most music stores must order a keytar, so if you want a quality instrument this is the way to go. Otherwise, try the online markets like eBay.

Step 2
Brush up on your guitar and keyboard skills. Because the keytar demands understanding of a keyboard's sound and controls as well as a guitar's physical form, you should practice both instruments.
-
Step 3
Dress the part. A good chunk of the keytar's charm is its style. Find a good pair of tight leather pants, some hairspray and excessive makeup so you stay in tune with the keytar's '80s look.
-
Step 4
Plug the instrument in. The keytar is best played on an amp. Find a good guitar amp and a place where there are relatively few people (or lots of tolerant people) to start jamming on your keytar.
-
Step 5
Use the keytar as a rhythm instrument. Because the keytar has a limited octave range, playing rhythms is the best way to maximize its qualities.
