Lol I can manage the hard parts only if I go so slowly they become easy although I used to could stumble - literally stumble, through all of Pathetique. Rush though, do nuthing for me. I'd rather learn stuff like the Promenade from Pictures - haven't yet, just rather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Piano Whore Posted December 26, 2012 Members Share Posted December 26, 2012 Virtually everything on George Winston's "Autumn" and "December" recordings was simple but quite enjoyable, to me. Great Christmas season music, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Joe Bleek Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 People here think Beethoven Sonatas and Bach Well Tempered Clavier are simple? Since we're being silly here, I want to add Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members psionic11 Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Let it be Don't stop believing Hard to say I'm sorry Piano man Moonlight sonata Final countdown Sister Christian Brick (Ben folds five) Why can't this be love (VH) Subdivisions Drops of Jupiter Sole survivor Greatest love of all Home sweet home I miss my keys, all collecting dust. 2012 was a very dry year for any keyboard playing. Thankfully my trusty acoustic guitar doesn't need stands,speakers, electricity or space. I think id lose what little sanity i have if not for my acoustic always near and ready to go when the muse needs to be let loose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple as that. +1I really don't have much to add because I have only a few years of piano lessons under my belt and just about everything mentioned here would be challenging to me. I would just say sequenced or produced electronic music in general. There was a time when I snobbishly pooh-pooh'd anything that could be played on a computer or groove box. Not any more Simple guitar songs are different because... well pretty much every pop and folk song is simple. I happen to like to play some old America songs like Tin Man, Ventura Highway, and Horse With no Name. I also like to play a couple of Smithereens Tunes like Lonely Place and Blood and Roses. Creedance Clearwater revival tunes like Who'll Stop the Rain and Lodi are fun too.If I try to sing to thise wife tells me not to give up my daytime job.

Members 1001gear Posted January 2, 2013 Members Share Posted January 2, 2013 Absolutely play whatever flies your spirit. By the same token, life is too short to waste on crap. (inevitable snob ethic lol) I understand snobbery to be a condition of learned exclusivity and otherwise, ignorance haha and therefore not myself in any way shape or form .
