I'm Looking for piano score maybe called arpeggiato. I knew this piece decades ago but can't play it now except for the starting notes. It is a single note piano piece. It starts out Eb (below middle), C, Eb, G, C (middle), Eb (above middle), D, C, B, G, Bb, D. Any ideas?
@RoryAlsop - So... I walked in for my 2nd lesson and evidently my instructor quit that day. I am told it involved lots of shouting and hand waving. I hope it's not my playing that was a proximate cause :D
So today I have a makeup with a new instructor, and if we vibe I'll stay with this one. Got a few chords mostly down, working on strum patterns and switching between chords in between each repetition
G is a totally messed up chord, but he did show me the one finger G. So I'm cheating.
@RoryAlsop I have yet to learn anything about tuning. I've seen it, but not read anything on it yet. Trying not to confuse myself any more than I can. I got a tiny Fender 10g amp for my back office, and a set of headphones so that if I want to practice without bothering anyone I can.
@RoryAlsop I have a sheet of 15 power chords, A, Am, A7, E, Em, E7, etc. The main A, G, E, Em are what I'm working on for the chord+strum/switch chord work.
And he gave me Back in Black to work on, but I may want to change that. I'm not a huge AC/DC fan, rather do something like Paranoid, Iron Man, easier Maiden song.
@JohnP Maiden are really good ones to practice to get your rhythm solid, and the chord changes are simple. I'm a huge fan of anything from that era being good
@JohnP First few weeks are the worst. But your fingertips will toughen, and you'll get used to pressing more lightly
@RoryAlsop The new guy has a music education background, so I'm going to see if he will assign scales work. I remember that from piano, and it helped a lot.
I have picked out Cliffs of Dover as my ultimate "I have arrived" song :D
Or anything by dragonforce, but I don't think I'll ever get that kind of speed.
@RoryAlsop "10 years ago when I started learning gutiar, I thought I'd never be able to play this song. 10 years later, I realized that I was correct."
Yup - the melody, so clear and clean and deceptive, and then he launches into some stupidly fast sweep picking craziness, and then straight back to flowing melody
