- Piano TechniqueGreetings- Working daily through Arthur's book. It is so much fun. Question, in addition to the book, can anyone suggest additional books, sheet music, or where to find other resources that can help me play in that 1950s rock style as Jerry Lee, or Little Richard, Chuck Berry, etc? I have found just a handful of single page exercises on Left hand exercises and such, but would love to find a more progressive book like the Boogie book Arthur has developed. Thank you -MarkLike
- Piano TechniqueGood morning- I am trying to reconcile the triplet video provided, which the counting shows the counting to "line up" of beat 1 and beat 3 of the 1/8 note; and correspond to beats 1 and 3 of the triplets. However, in your book on page 31, measure 17, the counting is not "lined" up, which that seems correct when counting triplets. What am I missing? Thank you, MarkLike
- Piano TechniqueGreetings- I have a question about what is the proper finger for bass notes. I see this in some scores and I know many people use different fingering, but how would you finger this? Should I do: 5-1-3-5-2-5-2-5 ... or ... 5-1-5-1-3-5-4-5 ... or something else Thank you -MarkLike
