Beginner needs advice
on: November 03, 2005, 04:36:14 PM
Well, I'm playing a bit longer than 3 months now and I practise a lot. I'm learning all kinda game music cause I really like to play it, but now I have a piece where I have a struggle with (some parts). I wanna know what's the right fingering for these two parts in the song, cause, for example, the first part I highlighted, I try to play it with my left hand only (the part where you go "down"), but that just doesn't work for me. For the second part I use two hands, but it doesn't really feel right when I play it like I do.



Part "1":

Part "2":

I uploaded the song too, so you can hear it:

The rest of the song goes fine, but I knew I would have a struggle with a part sometimes, since I don't have a teacher to help me yet, that's why I'm asking you guys for some help. And remember that a song like this is still a bit difficult for me.

Thanks.



EDIT: btw, the song has 3 pages, these pages where I highlighted the parts are the first page and the 3rd. Just you let you know. If someone wants the whole sheet for some reason, then I will upload the 2nd page too.

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna try it right away.


I gues my fingers aren't used to it yet to do such fingering.  8)
