Re: Le Onde -It's such a gorgeous gorgeous tune....

it should probably be on at least "Intermediate-Hard" Yep ditto... I wouldn't even mind if there was a basic rookie session to get me started but i'd be prepared to put the effort in all the way upto advanced in order to really capture the beauty of it. If I could play that song I'd be playing it e...

Le Onde -It's such a gorgeous gorgeous tune....

Please Please please... Le Onde (by Ludovico Einaudi) is one of my all time favorites if you're looking for something new to add ...this one (for me) would be a real crowd pleaser... Craig Ogden does a lovely version for classical guitar and i've heard a few versions on piano which sound exceptional...

Users Chatroom? and Playground Studio?

When (in the program) I click on the 'Help' menu bar I see a 'Users Chatroom' which offers the option to chat with the PG team.. This seemed like a great idea, but it just takes me to stride.com? So I created a user account expecting it to take me to a user group but ..erm nope :? Am I missing somet...

Re: Learning piano to accompany singing

Thanks again for that, I think I get your point.... I guess it's a bit like using a CAPO on guitar, which offers the ability to play in a different Key for the same fingerpicking pattern?
