well, i'm wanting to re-learn how to play piano, and the best way i know how (the way i learned guitar) is to learn songs that i know and enjoy, but i can't find any of them on the internet, and i dont have money to buy a lot of books, so i was wondering if anyone had any good piano parts for any p&w or whatever, or knew of any sites that have them, i would greatly appreciate it...

thanks,
brandon

Have you checked the sites in the sticky thread up at the top of this forum?? Those are pretty much all the sheet music sites that I know of. Mostly, I just play by ear anyway... so I guess I'm not much help. Sorry.

I've found that if you get songs with cords for a guitar.... they work just as well. There might be some minor cord differences...but they work

thanks guys, i have started using that chord site, that was listed, and i like it a whole lot... thanks... -brandon

Usually there aren't any differences at all, actually. Unless of course you try to use the guitar fingering charts.

In sheet music written for guitar... there will sometimes be an extra chord that will not sound good on the piano. Or it will change a little faster or slower.

[Nate]

Yeah... that's true. I find it usually happens during bass runs (E/G#, E/F#, E).... anyway, I guess the same thing could be said for piano. Ever tried playing a hymn (as it's written) on the guitar??

[jelliebean]

um...I don't play the guitar so no!*LOL*

[Nate]

HAHA.... me neither. But, I HAVE seen guitarists trying to play from the hymnal....... it's hilarious!!

[MrCrabby]

Yeah, that's always fun!
I love to see other guitarists struggling to keep up because the chords change basically every quarter-note!
But i have piano experience, so it's not a problem for me, i know which chords to play, and which ones to leave out.

*LOL*

I tried my hand at playing an organ the other day.......
Its crazy!!!! Have ya ever tried it? All four of yer limbs going at one time.. I think that if I want all my body parts moving at one time I'll learn how to dance or something*LOL*

The foot pedal stuff on the organ is the hardest. Ack! Its enough to drive a person mad! *LOL*

[Nate]

I've never played on an organ with footpedals..... but I have used all four limbs at once before while playing keyboard. I set up my sustain pedal to switch from slow to fast rotary speed and hit that with my left foot.... I use my right foot for my volume pedal.

[jelliebean]

but at least ya did'nt have to know what notes yer little toesy were hitting! *LOL* crazy......

[Nate]

Hehehe.... that's true.

[maadio]

Hehehe yeah. I'm in pretty much the same boat at btmilan here. I've run out of interesting Hymns from a hymnal, So now I'm looking for other stuff. Btw, if anyone has ANYTHING by Mark Schultz, I want it pleeeeease!!!
