@slippytoe Not sure how much this will help, but when I first started trying to learn this, the way I would think about the left hand rhythm would be to "fill the holes" from the right hand, so that it's almost like the left hand is continuing the melody from the right.
@Freeheelingstrider Thanks so much for replying, I have finally done the first part and got the left fingers in rhythm, your comment did help (fill in the gaps), it's a little different to yours but it sounds OK to me. Thanks so much for your reply, I'm still referring to your video every day for you to teach me the next part. Can't wait until I can do it all. Thanks so much!
I have been sat at this keyboard now for 4 hours and still can't get the rhythm going in my left fingers, I can do the chords all together whilst playing with right hand but I am getting so stressed with this bit! AAArrrgggghhhh!!!
Thank you so much!! I was about to give up and assume I just had zero ability to play anything worthwhile, but your tutorial is giving me hope! Thanks for breaking it down and making it seem so manageable! You just made my month!! :D
WOW!!! NOW THAT'S HOW YOU DO A TUTORIAL!!... at some points it was fast but i'd rather it be fast than slow cause you can always pause it and go back and look rather than have to guess in jumping forward... and also, BEAUTIFUL rendition!!
Great tutorial, but I wish I could have been more than 10 minutes...I think you were forced to rush a bit with explaining towards the end. Otherwise excellent, though.
as soon as i saw the view i get on this vid i gave it 5 stars, for some reason every other cover i found on this song u cant tell what their playing. Great vid dude
Yep, still here struggling to get the left fingers to make any sort of sense :( any tips, anyone?
