Hey T.B.P, that was great cover...but now to move on to something more advance, something with more skill, cause you have the technique's. I want you to learn Toccata and Fuge in D minor I think its done by Bach or Mozart. I'm not really sure, but if you know what song I'm talking about, learn it, and learn it full. then come back on here and post a video of it. I would love to see you play that complex piece and I would have sex with you cause your an amazing pianist. Good luck and God Bless

I just transcribed "This Love", and by looking at the sheet music you will notice that it's really difficult to play. I made it difficult on purpose too. :) The right hand has to play two voices, one is the melody, and the eighth note accompaniment. The hard part is that the melody is controlled by the pinky of the right hand, which is the weakest finger of the hand. Therefore if the pinky is not strong, it will be impossible to play this piece. Also, the melody has to be shaped with crescendos and decrescendos, and must show emotion. When the melody comes back a second time, the rhythym changes slightly, too. There are so many notes in the song that it is harder to memorize. The melody has to be in perfect sync with the accompaniment to keep in rhythym. Lastly, the left hand which plays the bass is easier. However, the left hand always enters on the offbeat, never on the beat, except for the chorus part.

The moral of the story is just because "This Love" is a rock song doesn't mean it is easy to play :)

Id like you see to try a dream theater song, just one of Rudess's solos :eek:

I understand T.B.P, I know its probaby hard what you do, but Please, please, please learn "Toccata and Fugue in D-minor" by J.S.Bach, I greatly appreciated if you learned it. I love that song so much man, please learn, I just want to see how you play it on the piano. Please make it Video, the techniques on that song are amazing, it will probaby get front Page on Ebaumsworld.
