It’s been one of those weeks where I’ve had at least three great rants, but when I sat down to write on this lovely little blog, none of them came to mind.  If only Tara came with some kind of digital transcribing feature.  Ha, people with features!  What will they think of next?  Anyways, in lieu of ranting (which not even Tara probably cared to hear) I give you an update on PIANO CHALLENGE 2010!

So far I have learned about 6 or 7 songs, but I have only perfected one.  The video for that one should hopefully be ready shortly.  I promised 5 songs, so I’m trying to break down the ones I want to do for sure.  Again, any requests would be helpful here.  Here’s what I’m thinking so far:

  1. “Kick Drum Heart” – The Avett Brothers.  This is the one that’s pretty much ready for production.
  2. “When You were Young” – The Killers.  I’ve actually already played this one, I would just need to touch it up.
  3. “Shape of my Heart” – Backstreet Boys.  Progress here has been slow, but I made a promise to Tara.
  4. & 5 are where I could use some suggestions.  Some of the other songs I’ve learned so far?  “Wavin Flag,” The chords for “Learning to fly,” Most of “A-Punk,” and a few other Avett Brothers songs.  But I feel like I can do better, so suggestions are welcome.

Yeah, that’s it for tonight.  Like I said, requests are welcome.  I want this project to be quality(ish), and something I can try again next year.  So we’ll see how it goes.  To finish tonight, I’ll give you another piano song I recently discovered by watching Benny and Joon.  It’s for songs like this that they invented the piano.  Hope you enjoy.
