Pirates of the Caribbean - Davy Jones on Theater Organ

I promised this years ago, but here I am, finally playing this on a genuine pipe organ, and a Mighty Wurlitzer at that.

I wasn't doing so well, so I only played the first third of it...I'll say it again, I'm no organist.

Goodness me somes acctually playing this peices as it was intended, I'd be very gratfull if you could tell which of pedles you used I have been trying to figure it out from the piano tutorail on Youtube and I am not quite getting it right

[Lanscader]

@evilblondgoth I play the root of the left-hand chord with my foot. In this case, it's a D most of the time (this first section is in D minor), but there's a shift into C for a couple beats, so my foot switches to C as well. Towards the end, the left hand has octave A, so I play A on the pedals.

The big difference between my version and the original is I don't play D minor chords the whole way through. If the tutorials teach the film version, they won't have the chord shifts.

I wasn't playing as well as I liked for this take, so I stopped early, but there's 2 more sections. Each one is the same melody, but shifted down by a minor 3rd (the 2nd time through you start on B, and the 3rd time you start on Ab).

Now play it with your chin

Awsome job!

I wish I could play that, but I stink at playing a piano.

@Lanscader it's not bad. Just need a little more practice is all. Listen to it by ear on the movie a little closer. I keep trying to find the sheet music for his organ theme and can't locate it anywhere on the internet.
