Tutorial: Forrest Gump Theme - Alan Silvestri

So... thought I'd make another tutorial, hope you don't mind ;) This time I even added sound - though it's only MIDI, it's still recognisable.

Red dot: Left hand
Green dot: Right hand
(This shows only how I prefer playing it)

The song is split up into 6 parts which are followed by two alternative endings (Part 7) - the first one is from the sheet music, the second one is a short version, similar to the soundtrack.

All parts are first played in tempo 110 (in the soundtrack I believe it is played in 107 / 108), and then slower along with the finger setting.

Two times you'll see a blue dot (E) instead of red and green - they're actually played by right hand, but they're not that necessary so you might not wanna play them. PS, They are not represented in the audio!

If you have any questions or concerns about the tutorial, please feel free to ask. Hope you like it and will try to play this song (unless you already do)!

@GuessIRemainUnnamed what program did you use to make this tutorial?

[GuessIRemainUnnamed]

@panda1764255 No special program, just the old fashioned and slow way with Paint, Lilypond and Windows Movie Maker. And yes, it is unproductive! ;)

[GuessIRemainUnnamed]

@acceb96 Thank you, I'm glad you find it helpful! :) I don't really know that song, so I doubt it will be the next one I make. I'm sorry.

@GuessIRemainUnnamed The song is "The ludlows" by James Horner, from the Legends of the fall´s OST.

@22Unlucky Thank you for clarifying. I wouldn't keep my hopes up, as a new semester is about to start, and there will be a lot going on. But thank you for the suggestion!
