Hey All,

Today in the mail came my Bruce Springsteen piano songbook. Just wanted to know how many of you play Springsteen and are familiar with his work. I am a 6 month beginner, and I just wanted to know if anyone had some advice before I tackle some of these songs.
It took me about a half hour to get about the first thirty seconds down of born to run.

Thanks.

Douglas.

I think (as this applies to learning all repertoire) that slow and steady wins the race. Be thorough and meticulous about accuracy (fingering, notes and rhythm)
Also focus on being physically and mentally relaxed while playing. Think like a master. They make it look easy.

Hi Douglas
If you're going to play along to the CD, you can get Transcribe a slow-downer software.

That's great advice. I've got Transcribe and it works great.
