Big Tiny Little was the honky-tonk/ragtime pianist who appeared regularly on The Lawrence Welk TV show from 1955 until 1959, when he was replaced by Jo Ann Castle. The "12th Street Rag" was written by Euday L. Bowman in 1914 when ragtime was still the leading genre of popular music, and became one of the most famous and best-selling piano rags. Bowman had been a pianist in Kansas City bordellos, and he named "12th Street Rag" after a street in the redlight district there.In 1979 Big Tiny Little recorded the 12th Street Rag with a small ensemble, including drums, bass and banjo. This is a note-for-note transcription of the entire piano part - all 140 measures - for Big Tiny Little's 1979 "12th Street Rag" recording released on the album "Honky-Tonk Piano featuring Mickey Finn & Big Tiny Little" (GNP/Crescendo Records). If you'd like to play the "12th Street Rag" exactly as Big Tiny Little did in 1979, here is your chance.Difficulty: Moderate
Dylan was already working with Al Kooper, and flew from New York to Nashville to record "Blonde on Blonde" with mostly Nashville session musicians. It is not clear who played the legendary piano part on "Rainy Day Women", but to my ear it sounds like Paul Griffin. Whoever played it laid down one of rock's most recognizable and classic piano parts - a cross between the Salvation Army and honky tonk. This amazing piano part is built around tremolos in the Verses, which sound like they are simple tremolos in 6th's, but they're not - they use an ingenious voicing that gives them more body than simple 6th's would, but less than a full three-note triad. The Choruses also use similarly clever voicings that avoid full triads. Also incorporated are octave fills and some cool grace notes.

On the recording Fogelberg played all the instruments except drums (Russ Kunkel) and soprano sax (Michael Brecker). His piano part is a true classic. The piano intro starts out almost like a music box, then drops down to the mid-register for the first verse, where it stays for most of the remainder. It is a long song, almost 5 and a half minutes, comprising 122 measures: an Introduction, ten Verses, three Choruses, and an Out section. The piano part sounds simpler than it is, ingeniously divided between two hands, although much of it sounds like one hand - reflecting his wonderful talent as a multi-instrumentalist.
If you'd like to learn one of pop's most beautiful love songs exactly as it was recorded and at the same time increase your knowledge of how a pop piano part can be excellently constructed and performed, "Same Old Lang Syne" is a textbook example. The intro itself is one of the most instantly recognizable piano intros in pop/rock music. Treat yourself to the only precisely accurate transcription available anywhere of Dan Fogelberg's "Same Old Lang Syne" - all 122 measures!
Although some of Winston's compositions have been transcribed, "Cloudy This Morning" (from his album "Forest") has never been made available before. This note-for-note piano transcription will let your own hands recreate just what George Winston's hands must feel like as he paints a picture of a cloudy morning, and the moods that go with it. This is your opportunity to not only play his music precisely as he recorded it, but to also study it and understand better the wonderfully creative mind that conceived it.
The piano part - one of the most recognizable piano riffs ever conceived - was first played by John Lennon; but he wasn't completely happy with his own performance so he asked Nicky Hopkins to record over it, using the same notes, but with a more polished performance. The result is that the piano part is a bit murky and it's difficult to hear every note with precision. No sheet music has ever accurately notated it.
I've played my piano more in my first month of your Workshop than I practiced throughout all my younger lessons combined. These lessons make it fun again and I love being able to pick up a lead sheet or any old music I have and just play it! There's so much freedom in your method, you can be as creative as you want or just keep it simple. Can't wait to learn more!
Before the time when sheet music was popular people were good at playing keyboard instruments. I am referring to the time when printing books was expensive.How did the students remember what to practise between lessons without any sheet music? What did they have back then that we have lost today? I just want to know what happened to our memorization. I am especially interested how one can learn from those people and apply it to our own lives.
