 Thanks Rick. I'll see you on
 the 26th. What is your web address? I linked a YouTube video
 of the song Everlong by the Foo Fighters on piano. Can we
 get the music for this song? I have to learn it one day 😊

Rick responded....



I get most printed music from musicnotes.com these days... here's Everlong..
http://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0082928

You can print out the first page free and start "typing out" those "D's" in the left hand.
The trick there is timing. It's mostly a rhythmic piece I think. It's not too soon for you to
start working on it because you can take one measure at a time and use it as note reading
excercise, as finger motion exercise and drill and more.

I posted it to my website at http://www.pianolessonsetc.com/2015/06/foo-fighters-everlong.html
to study it further. Listening to the piano cover-- and then the original-- I think the piano cover you
pointed to isn't all too accurate.

Here's the original which is more instructive and USEFUL I think becausse the lyrics and melody stand out a LOT more than that piano version. A lot of this song is "overdone" in my view-- although the chords are  straight forward and the melody isn't too bad actually. Back off on the energy and it can be done as a pretty good one-man piano vocal song.

I took a look to see what other piano people are doing with it and not a single person
just plays and sings it. They're either just playing it or hamming it up with multitracking.
I'll continue to find a good version of this that could be done, say, at Seasons52.
