Title: playing 'Best Behaviour'
Post by: milla on October 30, 2005, 07:26:59 am

I'm finding the exact rhythm of the notes for the chorus of this really confusing, Ive tried listening to the live recording i have of it but it doesn't really help. I feel like the music i have doesn't have enough notes, or that i need to intersperse the left hand notes differently with the right hand or something. if any musical genii can help me i'd be much obliged... :D

no, i got it from that site that has a whole bunch of nessa songs. i dont remember what it's called though..

Looking closely at THAT sheet music it looks more like what i'm missing. more chorus notes. Although I'm confused by the lack of a right hand part in the first two bars of the chorus?

Well you should try that one and see if it's any different. I haven't tried playing it yet myself.

hmm, i'm still a little confused because there's no right hand part in the chorus, but when i watched a video of her playing live she played right hand there. Still, this version sounds better than the earlier one I had :)

Dear Milla,

well, there's hope. when i first printed out 'Who's To Say' back in May, i gave up on the song, b/c i though the rhythm was too tricky. but when i picked it back up 2 or 3 weeks ago, i tried it out again, and EUREKA! i finally learned how to play the song! 'cause lord knows, i've wanted tio for so long.

i didn't bother to ask for any advice for how to play the song, b/c learning how to play it was something i had to figure out on my own. i thought the notes were all wrong and out of place, but they weren't. so my advice to you is to either improvise if the notes are too tricky, [that's what i do and it works, and that's what an artist does; takes someone else's work and makes it their own] or just practice, practice, practice, and don't give up. persistence does wonders! :D

I'm glad so many of you are enjoying my transcription of BB.  :) I really worked hard on it.

Milla, I'm not sure what you mean when you say there's no right hand part. When I play the song, I use both hands the whole time. I probably didn't make it clear enough which hands to use. I'm still learning the rules of sheet music. Can you be more specific about which part you are confused about? Maybe I can tell you how I play it.

PianoPlayer12, I'd love to hear your recording, that would be so cool. :)

It sounds EXACTLY like "Dark Blue" by Jack's Mannequin. http://www.myspace.com/jacksmannequin

That's soooo weird!
