This is so overdue, Queen S, but I heard Chopin's Nocturne in C# minor while watching The Pianist, and I really fell in love with how beautiful it is. How is it going? Might there be any chance you might post a little of you playing it?

Hey, would anyone be interested in helping me with a song? My friend and I are trying to play "all about us" by he is we. She's playing on her harp and i'm trying to come up with the piano. I've got the part woth the verse down, but I'm still struggling to fnd some of the chords. I've never played a song by ear, so this is all kind of new to me.

Here is the song:http://youtu.be/yZgVBh-vuvE

Ruby, I think Glenstorm the Great has figured out the chords for that song. She gave them to me a few months ago. I'll go look them up.

*wanders through her endless supply of music*

Aha! I found it!

I've never played it, but it looks pretty good... I'll edit it later if I find any problems when I play it.

Intro:
E B/D# C#M B

Verse 1:
E B/D#
Take my hand, I’ll teach you to dance.
C#m B
I’ll spin you around, won’t let you fall down.
E B/D#
Would you let me lead, you can step on my feet.
C#m B
Give it a try, it’ll be alright.

Prechorus:
A
The room’s hush hush,
F#m
And now’s our moment.
E C#m B
Take it in feel it all and hold it.
A F#m
Eyes on you, eyes on me.
E B
We’re doing this right.

Chorus:
E
Cause lovers dance when they’re feeling in love.
C#m
Spotlight shinning, it’s all about us.
A B
It’s oh, oh, oh, oh, all about uh, uh, uh, uh, us.
E
And every heart in the room will melt,
B
This is a feeling I’ve never felt but,
A B
It’s oh, oh, all about us.

Verse 2:
Suddenly, I’m feeling brave.
Don’t know what’s got into me,
Why I feel this way.
Can we dance, real slow?
Can I hold you, real close?

Prechorus, Chorus

E
Do you hear that love?
They’re playing our song.
C#m
Do you think we’re ready?
Oh I’m really feeling it.
A
Do you hear that love?
B
Do you hear that love?

Chorus x2

Have fun!

I am playing piano for my InterVarsity group's large group worship on Friday and then for our Fall Conference next weekend (14 - 16). Prayer for the whole team would be appreciated. There's five of us total: a drummer (who is female, ), two guitarists who are also our singers, a bassist (is that even what you call them?), and me on piano.

Right now, I've just finished finding all the music we need but don't have. We know the songs pretty much. Like a lot of songs only have one chord progression (just four chords) played over and over and the rest that don't fit in that category usually have just two or three chord progessions and our guitarists know them. But we need the lyrics and the chords in front of us just in case. My cousin (one of the guitarists) assigned me to be his administrative assistant because he's pretty unorganized. After beating my head against the wall for a couple hours, I still can not find a decent copy of one of the songs "Beautiful Things" by Gungor in the key of E anywhere online. So if anyone happens to know where I could find it, I'd appreciate it. Or even if it's not in E because we can always transpose it.

Praying for you, Julie! And yes, the correct term is "bassist."

I've never heard the song, but is this it? If not, I can look again. If it's right, you can transpose it right on the site.

I did find that one but I didn't know if it was right or not. I only first heard of the song when one of the guitarists started playing and singing it during practice and my cousin (the lead guitarist) said "hey, let's add that to the set!"

Anyway, my cousin came over last night and we worked on the PowerPoint for the songs and he found a version he thought would be ok on-line. Thanks though!

I just recently learned how to play the organ and made my first cover on it of "Creator of the Stars of Night", a Gregorian chant that I found particularly beautiful.

That's really cool, Mino! I like that chant!

I have a YouTube channel that I am slowly filling with videos, mostly of me singing there are a couple of videos of me and Glenstorm The Great signing together (she plays the guitar)

here's a couple of videos from my channel:

"Lucy" by Skillet cover (with Glenstorm The Great)

"I Dreamed A Dream" from Les Miserables cover

"Haunting" by Anberlin cover (with Glenstorm The Great)

and here's a link to my channel if you want to check out all the other videos I have on there

Hey, I have a small request for anyone who can play piano by ear. I would love to play this song by The Vespers called 'No', He Said, but I'm not sure what the notes are. I think it's a G/ E key, but I really don't know. If you have some spare time and enjoy that sort of thing, I'd really appreciate it! Thank you!

I have a question, if anyone knows the answer. When building a 9th chord, do you keep the 7th note in the chord? And if so, how many half steps should be between the 7th and the 9th? If not, how many half steps between the 5th and the 9th? Keep in mind I'm asking about the theoretically correct way, and I'm talking about a major 9th built on a I, IV or V chord. Hope someone can help, thanks.

The song is in the key of C major and goes back and forth between Cmaj and Gmaj7 for much of the song. I wrote up the piano part for the background, hopefully it should be enough to get you started

Yes, you keep the 7th note. There will be 2 half steps in-between the 7th and 9th (so to get from the 7th to the 9th or vice versa you go up/down 3 half steps).

Thank you SO MUCH MinotaurForAslan!!! I never would have figured that out!

You're welcome The Pendragon.

Here's a recent piano cover I did of "the Star-Spangled Banner" for school. (The song is played over the intercom every Friday and the principal allows students and faculty to play their own version if they so desire.)

I changed up some chords so it sounds fresh.
