Description

This intermediate piano solo is mostly about strong rhythm, as is typical of the rock genre. Bars 13 to 28 usually requires considerable hands apart practice before doing together work – don’t let the LH chords overpower the main theme in the RH. Bars 29 to 36 is an exercise in octaves for both hands (broken in the left) – eye contact is best on the RH, so practice the LH bass riff without looking. The tempo changes should note disrupt the overall rhythmic energy of the piece. To maintain a forceful tone, the student should be sure to keep the the fingers slightly curved with a firmness in the last joint of each finger – play through each key, not on the surface.
