Post by: alybaracat on November 25, 2015, 09:17:42 PM

Hi all,

Do you have to post this crap in every single sub-forum?

Define "advanced", please?
If you just mean "flashy", then start adding arpeggios like a pregnant cat, otherwise you'll need to identify what you mean by flashy,

By flashy, he means impressive to watch and little more.

The music here is an afterthought.  With the two chords (I and V) there is little musically to offer, especially considering the original is likely the result of over-mastering in a studio.  The original medium limits what can be done.

One cannot expect a go-kart to torque like an F1 car.

Stop trying to embellish something that was at best bland musically to start with.  If you want complicated piano music pick up something that was intended to be.

 Even then, doing so to impress is disrespectful to the music and not what we do as performing artists; if you want a circus act, join a circus and become a clown.
