Not the "Charlie Brown Theme" as that is actually a different tune. This is "Linus and Lucy" and is often confused with being the theme song. It's not. This is the best known one, though.
Interesting! Thanks for the info. I never knew about the song "Cast your fate to the Wind". I just listened to it now on YouTube. Oh how I love Vince Guaraldi.
The 1,4,5 progression I inserted is a common jazz progression. Louie Louie, Batman, Beachboys, etc a lot of music uses that 1,4,5 progression. Look like Vince Guaraldi and I were on the same page. It was stunning to hear my original invention on part of "Cast your fate to the Wind". Thanks for the info.
I like it! I really like the visual of the reflection of your hand on the piano....and the sound and sight of the hand-slap. Thank you for sharing your talent!
Nice playing and style. However, I have to point out that the beat is completely wrong. Both the left hand ostinato and the right hand melody should anticipate the beat (i.e. should begin on the "and" of 4).
you f***in killed that man. couldn't have been done better. i can't believe people are telling you how to correct it. they must be use to the polished radio sound
GREAT! But do check the rhythms at 37 compared to the original. Just a suggestion. Otherwise you do great! Glad to see you enjoy yourself while playing this song. keep it up!
Ear training. My jazz piano teacher ,Dick Powell (not the actor) trained my ears to recognized different types of chords by their sound. Form the habit for playing all types of chords. Get the "feel" for them all. That's how I was able to lift it off my friend'd vinyl record. Jazz is all about feeling. The minute you think about it, it's all over.
Thanks! I didn't know that. I never saw the music. I copied the playing, (except for my own touch thrown in), off of a friend's record a long time ago. Hummm....would be interesting to read Vince Gauraldi's actual score for this catchy piece.
lol i did this in my high school in front of a crap load of people

Mishmash of "Linus and Lucy" and "Cast your fate to the Wind," and ....I have no clue. Learn it by the music!

I learned this one by ear too!
I do a pretty good job up to the part where the style changes but I never got around to learning past that part.
