haha

haha was thinking the same thing.

Ohh I assumed you meant the damper pedal not the one in the middle. You're so pro sounding, I never even assumed to use the other pedal lol.

Pretty much, yeah- play the D and then quickly play the FG with the thumb afterward. Assuming your piano has one, use the sostenuto pedal. Alternatively, if the music permits it, you can use the damper.

Yea a 10th...actually I have to play FandG at the same time which I would think uses the extended thumb method but I only can reach like EF not FG. What do you mean by roll the chord? Let go of the D you're supposed to hold?

You mean play a tenth? If you can't actually reach it, the normal thing would be to roll the chord. Though, if your right hand is free at that point, playing it with two hands would work too.

Got a piano question for you. If you play something in the Bass Clef and it states you have to hold D in octive one but requires you to go up to F in octive 2, how do you play that? I would think since you can't reach that far that you would have to play F with your right hand.

ha! Yeah, sort of. Most of the time, it's really fun. A few friends and I just go to a restaurant and jam for an hour or two, then we eat for free and take home about $100 each.

It's just those times when you really want to be reading a book at home or something, but you already promised to show that suck. That's when reframing comes in handy.

You mean reframing it so you don't get pissed? LOL.
I've taught myself playing from books. It's quite fun. But I would think I wouldn't like it nearly so much if I did it professionally.

Yeah, I'd say so. It's not necessarily less enjoyable to do it for a living, but it does require some effort to avoid becoming disenchanted. I think it helps to think of it as 'work where I get to the piano' rather than 'work where I have to play the piano,' if that makes any sense.

haha so tell me is there a difference between hobby and doing it for a living?

Now I'm sad...
