means to an end
3 years ago
This is really leading to being able to play the Chopin Waltz C#m 62-2, but I think it will be fun as its own means as well. I’ve gotten to the point where I’m technically a decent guitarist, so it makes some sense to branch out to get good enough on keys to at least jam along or play a few pieces. To this end I’ve picked up a few books: 1) Randy Newman Anthology, which will help me pick up some shuffle, 2) Tom Waits, Beautiful Maladies, which is really entirely for Johnsburg, Illinois, but probably has some other good stuff to teach me, and 3) Guaraldi’s Charlie Brown Xmas for a quick primer on Jazz chords and voicing. We’ll see.
