1Rock meets Rachmaninoff
Side Notes:• When my son was starting his band at 15 years old, he liked to
show me guitar and drum discoveries he found on YouTube.Because of him, I now appreciate the coolness of things likedouble bass pedaling and guitar sweeps. This song combinestwo of of my favorite musical influences: Rachmaninoff and Spencer.
• Orchestral backup track available at jonschmidt.com.
Helpful Hints:• Learn the hardest parts first with the correct fingering.
• Instead of using a slower tempo to practice longer sections, tryusing the actual tempo to practice overlapping short sections (assmall as two notes...hands alone if needed).
• When I practice, it helps me to realize that it takes up to 300(perfect) reps before muscle memory kicks-in.
• I like to imagine totally soft and relaxed hand muscles as I play.I think "soft hand" when approaching hard sections.
• For a two-minute performance delete measure 37-106 (orchestratrack for two-minute edit available at jonschmidt.com).
