OP Raendo Junior Member R Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 2 Sweden	Hi! Is there be someone out there who could tell me, the vertical lines made up of dots(?), what do they mean? I can only assume I'm not supposed to play d-a-f#, as it is, all at once. Sure hope not anyway. Thanks! Raendo

It means you should roll the chord (that is, play the notes individually one after the other, holding them down once played--much easier to demonstrate than describe, alas.) http://www.youtube.com/pianomonica
