@@havenkolinski7569 hey! I’m pretty sure the sheet music I’m using as a reference in the vid is this: musescore.com/user/39593079/scores/19246573 It’s a hybrid of what’s written in the piano, vocals, and chord changes. Hal Leonard also has a simplified version in F if you don’t want to mess with Gb 😊👍

Hey Kevin! Thanks for your comment! Yes, I found the section in the sheet music that you're talking about. What I would do is invert the arpeggio so that the pattern is "B, D, G, B, G, D" rather than "B, G, B, D, B, G" That way, you're properly outlining the chord within the measure and you don't have to make any weird pedal choices. Unfortunately, sometimes sections of sheet music transcription get overthought and the arranger will go with whatever playback option they have and make a sonic choice. Unfortunately, this time, it's seemingly impossible to play that measure as written (unless, of course you've got hands that are bigger than Rachmaninov).

@@mrtylerlarsonUgh thank you so much!! I’ve been playing piano for a year now and I finally feel confident enough to tackle some of the pieces in this book and this piece felt doable enough except that one measure You have no idea how grateful I am to you! ❤

@@kevinfigueroa5444 I’m glad to be able to help! I’m excited for you -it sounds like you’ve been working really hard this past it and you’re finally getting to play some pieces on the “someday” list! So exhilarating! Keep on! The best is yet to come!!! 😊🎹🎶

@@f.k.b.16 I hadn’t until I saw your comment and looked it up.. freaking hilarious!!! 🤣

@ glad you liked it! It always makes me laugh!

Thanks! 🙂

I'm seeing what my options are. 🙂 Now that most sheet music sites have the ability to do midi playback, it's made this series kind of obsolete. I'm glad you're still enjoying the ones that are still posted, tho. Thanks for being here!

@@philipjennings3490 thank you! 😊

No I don’t think I used the sustain pedal at all during the piece. If you are to use it, just be sure to lift each time the chord changes otherwise it’ll get muddy fast. 👍

RIGHT‽ There's something really iconic and dated about the Orchestral Hit sample that just brings me right back in to my nostalgic happy place! I discovered a new section to a sample pack that I bought YEARS ago and this sound was in it... first thing I did... fire up the camera and make this video!!! 🙂

Thanks!

Thank you, and I'm glad that it helped! I remember scouring KZbin trying to find a tutorial on the intro and it was DAUNTING! I ended up creating a hybrid of things that I found. I wasn't able to find the video that I used to learn it... I'm thinking he may have taken it down. There are a few others that are decent. The thing to keep in mind with the recording versus practically playing it is that the upper part was overdubbed an octave higher (same situation on Seven Seas of Rye by Queen), so you're hearing that main fast lick in two registers. You need your left hand to knock out those low notes, though, so the main changes I made were playing octaves in the left hand and then I think I changed up the arpeggio pattern in my right hand to better accommodate my own playing style. Gotta kinda make it your own, right‽ You'll get it! Just take it slow at first. Slow and accurate beats fast and messy every time! The speed will happen... just take it slow! I hope this helps! 🙂

Thanks Tyler, working away in it , it's a long project 😅

@@Primaryinjection thank you!
