Hey!
I was just wondering what to do if you have small hands on the bit sort of in the middle where there's lots of chords? Right now I just miss out one of the notes... Thanks for your help,

Really is long time no see! laugh.gif

Which bars are giving you trouble? I don't think there's anything there larger than an octave, I could check for you though.

smile.gif Hello again! I know I haven't been for... well a long time! Hope you're all having a great summer!
It's the 1st chord in bar 62, the last one in bar 64, and the mainly the one in bar 73 that I can't play all the notes. Why couldn't I have bigger hands... rolleyes.gif *sigh*

Bar 62 - Use your little finger to play the D# and slip onto the E. The result will be a spread chord. Make sure to get that E on the second chord on the beat though.

Bar 64 - Two options: forget the G on top or play the G# and A# with your thumb (put your thumb horizontal so it covers both notes). I don't know if the second one will be good for your hand, you'll have to ask someone else who's a little more experienced. It's just that I sometimes play two white notes with my thumb, maybe it's the same with black notes. unsure.gif

Bar 73 - Don't play the G# in a chord if you really are having trouble with it. You might have to jump around a bit if your hands are really small but try your best to keep that G# beating.

Hope that helps. smile.gif
