Death and All His Friends (Tutorial)

Here's a tutorial on Death and All His Friends. I cut out the first 30 seconds to keep it under YouTube's 10 minute limit, all you missed was me talking about how the left hand seems to give people trouble, but all you need to do is get the basic chords down and let the rhythm come on its own. Hope this is at least a little helpful!

Yep, still here struggling to get the left fingers to make any sort of sense :( any tips, anyone?

@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!!!

[MrCanuck357]

Great tutorial! Do you take requests? : ) Marco Parisi does a cover of In your Atmosphere. Would you consider breaking that down? Thnx!
