Manhattan Skyline by Jürgen Moser
on: November 04, 2009, 01:21:07 PM
Hello,

I know, that this is a song, whicht is very simple, but I needed it to try out recording at home...

It is in the book "Rock Piano 2".

normally i'm playing more classical and romantical things...
by the way, sorry for my bad english, but I'm a typical german, who has to study a lot speaking a foreign language, I'm open for betterings everytime!

I liked that!  I'd love to get a hold of it.  Play it at parties and showing off.  Honestly!  I think, though, you could make it a bit more rythmic and driving by using less pedal and strengthening those fingers that seem sort of lazy at times.  Bravo, though!
