Ben Folds- Zak & Sara

Playing Zak & Sara by Ben Folds. One of my favorite songs, though I play it like crap. If you get bored, you can watch the folks on the tennis court below

wrong key

[paulsahner]

Transposed key. As bad as my vocals can be, they're way worse in the original key.

[Moredread25]

You are in the wrong key.

[paulsahner]

I'm in a transposed key....I can't sing in the same register as Ben.

[rockwithpiano]

two things I noticed in just 10 seconds into watching this (because I play piano and I love to play Ben's tunes, though I can't sing along to it): one, you're hitting F chord, but sound is "transposed" down to Db - maybe to your vocal range perhaps? and I can't tell from the reflection of the mirror, but I'm not certain if the keyboard is on or off. if I'm wrong on the second part, i'm sorry to bother you.

[paulsahner]

Yep...You're dead-on....I have the keyboard transposing down so my voice can hit the notes. And the keyboard is very much on :-)

[monkeyswithcameras]

[LDxFTW]

How am i supposed to see the tennis match with that piano in the way??

[CalebIsASickF]

Best. Cover. Ever.

[blackeasterthedude]

you suck!

[burkesongs]

Transposing the key is a time-honored way of getting a song into your vocal range. A lot of pro artists do it all the time, especially as they get older: Springstenn, Petty, etc etc.

This has got to be fun to play.
