Me playing the Blake's 7 theme

Post by Keeper »

I imagine many of you remember Blake's 7. A while back I learned to play the theme on the piano and did a video with a few mistakes and awkward pauses, but not too horrible. Then I sat down and explained how to play it.

Thought if any crowd would appreciate it, it'd be Ooliteers!

Really nice arrangement and I always loved the theme tune to B7.

Speaking as a piano player myself (evidence here > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TBVMvpaUBk )

That's really quite impressive that you picked that up in just a few hours, that's not an easy piece of music at all.

Cheers,

Drew.

It's not a difficult tune at all really, so it wasn't too hard to learn to play once the chords were known.

This is the sort of stuff I usually play, and this is still considered an easy one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuGDE5NC2gc

Compare to the sort of piano playing I'm usually surrounded by: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQiqiiZzofY or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM4feWC9d6U (to stay on the topic of TV show themes).
