This
song was arranged by John Thompson (J.T.) himself, and it is a pretty
easy song, I'd say. I mean, it's in 4/4 time and it's all crotchets and
minims, with a few semibreves thrown in here and there... and yet for
the life of me, I can't seem to play it right! It just never
feels right
in my fingers, and my timing's all screwed up. Now, I'm a person who
prides myself on my innate sense of timing, so (ahem!) I think I'm just
gonna blame a huge chunk of this problem on those arpeggios [er...
broken chords!] sprinkled
over the piece. (Two consecutive ones are pictured left.) I can never
seem to get them perfect the first time. Every time I play them, I have
to practise them once or twice before they sound right. What's the
answer... finger drills, you say? No argument there. I'm working on
those, too...
