i have the sheet music and i have mastered the technique in 30 minutes but as for left hand it goes too far down. I only have a 61 key keyboard and i cannot go as far as the song goes. I am using BluePi1313's sheet music from youtube at the moment.

Does your keyboard allow splits? You might be able to assign the bottom two octaves to a bass sound.

i don't think so. I have a Yamaha psr 170. Would it be possible to move the middle c octave higher as well because the song needs i think 3 octaves below middle c octave

Page 25 of the manual mentions a few split voices and page 27 allows you to transpose by up to one octave.

Voices 123 and 125 are Bass/Piano Splits so maybe they'll work for you.

Otherwise it's a pretty primitive keyboard lacking the split and transpose options of more expensive boards so I think you're SOL.

Sorry, :(

Sorry I couldn't be more help. One other thing you might want to try is transposing the sheet to fit the keyboard. It might work.

what i am going to do is record the right hand normally (in middle c octave)
then i will record left hand (the one that needs more octaves to the left) on a middle and either try messing about with voices or just increase bass of it with software. I am going to try using voices first though.
