That was great.I have a fantasy that one day I'll walk into a dive of a bar.There will be a piano and a crowd of drunken rowdy folk.I'll start playing "Benny the Bouncer" and "Oh,what a terrible fight" would ensue.Adding to my "delight" would be if someone caught it on their cell phone and posted it on Youtube.

That is damn impressive! I wish I could play that. I play piano but I only play by ear. I've been a huge fan of ELP and always wished I could play like Keith Emerson (or at least, come close) but I have found that most ELP music is too difficult to play by ear .....but I try anyways. This is the best rendition of the SHERIFF and BENNY THE BOUNCER that I've ever heard ....with the exception of Keith Emerson himself. Good job!

Wow!  Excellent piano playing!

I want to learn The Sheriff outro as well, so I'm wondering, is there any available sheet music? If there isn't I'll have to write down what keys i see you press and play it like that!

[neil73]

@RossenP There IS sheet music for this; you can download the pdf (s) off a link on Keith Emersons website. I don't want to discourage you, but this stuff is hard, even at intermediate level (Grade 4) on piano WITH sheet music! Good luck

[RossenP]

@neil73 Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out! And don't worry, I do know how to play piano quite well, i have been taking lessons for quite some time, it's just that my piano teacher was reluctant of taking this one on without any music. I already spent about an hour figuring out the riffs at the beginning as well as the chord changes throughout the song, but this outro seems to pose more of a challenge due to speed. But as anything else, you start slow and build it up. Thanks again!

[neil73]

@RossenP Your welcome!
