My list isn't that exciting but my FAVOURITES to play are Morning Sting, Wanted and Annie

I've been playing since early May of '04, about 2 mos. b/f my 19th b-day. I've grown a lot since then. If you told me then I would play certain songs, I would've thought you were crazy.

I can't play as many songs as I would like b/c 1)I don't have the time 2)I use the painos at a local university music building b/c I don't have one @ home 3)I don't have a computer at home, so I can't print out as much paper as I would like and 4)Since I'm really poor, I can only put $1 on my printer card, which I purchased from the local library, where I use the Internet. With some songs, I didn't print out all the pages b/c 1)It would've been a waste of paper AND my money 2)VC makes the chords pretty much repeat themselves at the end, so I learned the rest by ear.

Someone said that HAWBTW was hard; it wasn't to me. Not the easiest song I've played, but I've mastered it pretty well. The only problem is that I'm still having trouble with the instrumental break, which has all the 'broken chords'. I'm always falling behind there.

I didn't think it was possible, but I can now play and sing to HAWBTW. I don't do it at the same beat as VC, though; even though I can't really sing, I do it more like Bob Dylan. But I also love singing along to VC's music as well as Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys, and Christina Aguilera.
Title: Piano
Post by: UltimateVC on October 09, 2006, 04:42:08 pm

In my opinion the hardest one to sing along to are dark carnival, time is on my side- brigde-, and prince- but i can do prince now.

I can play a buch of them but my favorites are

Swindler
Who's to Say
Half a Week
and ATM

A Thousand Miles is the only one I learned by sheet music. I can't really read sheet music though, I just listen and so I don't play them exactly the same, but it usually sounds pretty much on target! But this coming spring semester I'm taking a piano class, so I should learn sheet music and hopefully get significantly better!!
