Same Key in Both Hands?

Post by SpenceBorg » Fri Jun 17, 2016 1:34 pm

Now that 'Mad World' is working again, I see a time where both hands seem to be hitting the same key. I've seen this a couple of times now in other songs. I was going to post a picture, but I don't seem to be allowed to anymore?

There is a point in Mad World where both the left and right hand should hit the F key, the left first and hold, then the right, but it's already down in the left hand, so what should you do?

What section of the song do you see this in the notation?

It would be easier if you could post pictures, but it's Mad World intermediate version, measure 8 the last two notes. The left hand should be playing a D an F half note for the end of the measure, but the right hand is suppose to play the same F for a quarter note. I just hit the F key again in the right hand, but not sure that's how to handle it.

Yes, I see what you're talking about. This is not a Playground Sessions arrangement, we used Hal Leonard's official arrangement for this song. We cannot make changes to their arrangements. If I were you, just play the D and F in the left hand quickly, then release them to play the F in your right hand.

Wow...that is supper awkward....and it is three times per verse. Looking at all the previews on line, it seems to have been corrected. Looking at previews on the internet and they removed the F from the chord where it intersects with the one in the melody

Draco,

Where did you see the corrected version? Tried searching online, but didn't see anything. Would like to try it, bit awkward right now.

Thanks
