What are you learning to play?

[Neutron]

Well, due to changing situations I will not be able to get some real time with my Hammond until January (had to go abroad to finish my studies) but here is a video I did this spring. Not perfect but it had gotten better since then. Will probably have to start from the bottom again when I finally get to my Hammond again. https://www.facebook.com/hansfridrik/videos/vb.1299169371/10206688630716619/?type=3&theater

Wow, I hope I can play that fast one day

Still don't have "here without you- 3 doors down" yet but working on it some. I can't get the bass notes right. Those cool little slide ups sound good even on piano or synth sounds but I've been playing it with a 12 string preset. Also doing "year of that cat." It sounds easy but I hate that main intro chord and keep forgetting it. Also been workin' on my "famous hit song" lol. Well famous here anyway even though no one has heard it yet

Oh I know what you mean, I also have these specific moments in the song where I just can't process fast enough to continue the rhythm. It usually happens when I played something wrong when learning that part of the song and then had to relearn it (even if I noticed it and corrected my errors immediately). Some neurons just keep firing telling me to put my finger the wrong place, and for each time I do the same mistake, the stronger the neural signal gets until I sit down and really concentrate on doing it right over and over again, it's so frustrating and time consuming haha.
I am looking forward to hearing the "hit song"

but sometimes..... Yesterday I was remembering Hotel California which I haven't tried in years. I usually video record myself because it's quick to do, just in case I come up with something. Anyway, I thought I was really sucking but then I played back the recording to hear what I was doing wrong and I thought "WOW, that sounds great, how did I get in all the 'little notes' in between?" So I played again and realized I was playing notes with my left hand I wasn't even thinking about. I still can't figure out how I know to do that or even could so naturally. I was using the 12 string preset. Usually it's the other way around like you mention and I'm thinking "what is that crap I got in there."

What I would love to learn is "concierto de aranjuez" ( Spelling?)

Anyone know what key it is in?
I am currently in search of the sheet music for it.

Awesome tune from the late 30's.
I want to play it in a modern form like latin or jazz . . not classical.

That's my next challenge.

Hi Ray, look, if you have not already seen, Rodrigo. And also see a simplification made by Chet Baker. Have a good time.

Thanks Oriane and Cowboy.

I printed off some music from the WWW for free
It's in key of Eb . . Not too difficult me thinks

I can see your link Oriane in the key of F . . . Even better.

Cheers

I can see your link Oriane in the key of F . .

Hey Ray, I think both Oriane's and mine are in D major?

Ah yes, I was looking at the sheet music in the YouTube clip, and also the one I sent you.

Handel's Sarabande in D minor - https://www.8notes.com/scores/11593.asp

The part I'm having problems with is Variation 1, with its very tight counterpoint.
