Not the best songs for piano covers imo, but she does them justice and maintains the integrity of the song

 
She's good, very good.

You can tell during Comfortably Numb she's using a backing track for the repeating rolling melody though.

 
She's listening to everything in her ear as she's playing I believe.

Day is due. Him or Craig Stadler.

Day said today he's only 85-90%.

Didn't see that. I read some NYT article on him where he said he's ready and ####, and that the cortisone shot worked well. He did say he had to tighten some things up but also that he'd get there. Whatever the case may be, it'll scare a lot of people off him, I have to think. I know I'm getting a good price in the pool I'm in and it's good to go contrarian in that format.

Haven't really followed golf enough to pick any others just yet -- I will check it all out the next couple of days. I just remembered thinking last year that Day is going to win this thing and soon, and to ride him until he does. :shrug:

Who ya got? Feed me.

Only bets I've placed so far are leishman +12500 and Molinari +15000. Trying to find some health news on Snedeker and Oostuizen. Will probably put a few bucks down on Zach Johnson. Not touching Bradley, Stenson, Sergio, Kuchar, Westwood or Donald. Likely will wait until thursday or friday night and unload on someone with decent odds off the lead but still with a chance.

 
Ha, KNEW you'd continue to stick with Molinari. I'll have to put him on one of my teams. Why no Westwood or Kuchar?

I am hoping for some Bodemeister redemption with Bayern, btw...the only charge I've got.

I just don't believe Lee Westwood can win a major. Kuchar burned my money all year, guy can't close.

 
I like Vika Goes Wild. I've subscribed to her YouTube channel for quite a while, and I've gotten a few of her arrangements as sheet music, though I've never learned a full song before giving up. She sells them through her site.

If you like Vika, you may also like Scott Davis, who has similar musical tastes. His arrangements are quite a bit easier to play (they are playable by me while Vika's are not), though they sound quite good. Here's "Sweet Child O' Mine." He also sells his arrangements through his site.

Also check out Mercuzio. Most of his arrangements are insanely difficult, even more difficult than Vika's, and really beautiful. I've never been able to learn a full song transcribed by him (other than "Imagine" which doesn't count). He has different tastes -- a lot of movie themes -- but here's some Metallica. All of his transcriptions are available for free.

Kyle Landry is also quite good. He has different tastes as well -- lots of music from video games, and lots of Disney. Here's his version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". Not all his arrangements are available as sheet music, but the stuff that has been transcribed is available for free on his site.

My favorite in this category of YouTube arrangers is Greg Skalak. His arrangements are quite a bit easier than those of the others I've listed here, but they still sound really good. "Wonderwall" is a good example. I learned it fairly quickly, but it's a lot of fun to play. "Californication" is another good example. He also sells arrangements through his site, though he's transcribed only a small percentage of the songs he's posted on YouTube.

If you want to trade sheet music, let me know. I have just about everything I own PDF'd and what I don't have, I can scan.

I do have the entire famous Classic Rock Fake book as well as the Real Book volume 6 for Jazz stuff (etc etc). For most of these arrangements, if you are in practice and up to snuff on your theory, you should be able to create close to comparable arrangements of your own just simply by using a fake book

PM me if you want.
