Hello, I've just started playing piano, and I'm trying to learn a song by ear, but I've found it to be very hard. The song I'm talking about only has a simple jazzy piano riff going trought the whole song. And the song I'm refering to is: Big Shot by Bonzo Dog Band. So, I'm looking for someone who can give me some guidance to get the notes down, so far I'm nowhere. I've played music for 5 years, so I'm not a complete newbie when it comes to scales and so on. Any help is welcome. Just getting to know what key it is in, would help me tremendously. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-znH5v2Pqg" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-znH5v2Pqg - There's the song. I'm not really interested in the 10 first seconds, I only want to learn that repeating jazz riff. So, if there is anyone here who can help me, I would really appreciate it. |
