Hi guys,

I'm new to playing piano and there is one particular piece of music I would love to learn, the theme music of a roller coaster in the amusement park The Efteling.
It's a ride called The flying Dutchman and someone did a amazing cover on youtube.
The problem is, I am not good enough to be able to figure it out by ear.
If someone would be wanting to give it a try, that would be amazing.
I don't necessarily need the sheet music, if someone could play it slowly and capture his/her piano from above, that would help a lot.

I hope someone will give it a try, down below is the video I was talking about!
(It doesn't have to be a exact copy, just something that comes close to the video)

I would suggest learning basic music theory and learning to read sheet music.  Not learning to read sheet music will slow you down.  Once you learn one piece, you are going to want to learn another and another. 

Have you ever played a piece before? and what music theory do you currently know?

@ hebury

Check your PM. You will find 4 links to online .jpg images there. If this "Real Book" format (melody notes + chord symbols) is not enough, ask a friend for a little help. It's really very straightforward once you catch the chords and watch the pianist's hands. Good luck! :)
No amount of how-to information is going to work if you have the wrong mindset, the wrong guiding philosophies. Avoid losers like the plague, and gather with and learn from winners only.
