Hi everyone,
First can I start of by saying how much I am having learning the piano and find app so beneficial for having a set program laid out.
My question is I want to play songs as they are recorded so no vocal melody, I'm over halfway through the rookie course but seems every difficulty always has the vocal melody in them.
Is there any way that shows you how to play the songs as recorded ?
Thanks all

Hello Richy,
The company has been talking seriously about adding an "Expert" level (above advanced) that would offer original music.
I am guessing it would be implemented in the song store, but I have not heard anything official, only that a number of people have requested it.
Stay tuned.

They have mentioned that this is a popular request. I think for the song store this is a great fit. What you learn in the boot camps, whether they have the vocal melody or not will still apply to playing accompaniment. They have talked about a course for Accompaniment too, so that they can cover things like transposing to fit the singer's range, and other considerations.

Hi
Good question
You can give it a good try if it is easily understandable for you to learn without vocals.
This website
https://digitalpianomedia.com/ can give better ideas because I am following them for some of the information.

You can run the original song through
https://splitter.ai to extract the vocals out. Then use something like Audacity to merge the vocal track with Playground Session's .ogg file.
This has worked great for me on a few songs (Habits and Never Be The Same) and not so great on others. The songs it's not working on seem to be do to the original song and the PGS songs BPM differing or the songs are different lengths. You can make them work with, but it might take a lot longer to get them synced.

I'm trying to understand the topic discussed here (newbie, of course).
I'm realizing more and more that the melody is not played by the instruments, but is sung by the singer. I"m thinking maybewhat they instruments are playing are often chords, but maybe I"m incorrect. I'd say also maybe riffs are played.
I certainly would like to learn accompaniment.

I can confirms that it works just fine.
But I'm still really interested if later on, we get that "expert" mode with original tracks!
