I was visiting a local piano store after work today.. I had my old and almost broken Zoom H2 with me just for fun..
I got to try out a few new Steinway grand pianos... and I recorded one piece.. a few mistakes here and there, but its a relatively new piece that I've learned.
I uploaded it here :)
Look for "Prelude in G minor" by Sergei Rachmaninoff in my playlist on my profile.

Im back from Poland! I've had the most fantastic time ever! Its unbelievable!
I travelled to Krakow on Tuesday this week. I met up with some other close friends of Eddie at the airport. We stayed at the same hotel.

Then it was time for the gig. I got in. Got to meet Eddie's sister, Anne. A really nice lady :) She reserved some seats for us.

For those who don't know who he is look here: http://www.insyncnet.com/duncan/
I must say that he, along with Steve Hackett, Ant Phillips, Andrew Latimer and Jimmy Page is the reason why I play guitar.. I love his music :)
There are some videos on Youtube - be sure to check them out!

Eddie Jobson this time... Like the hardest thing I`ve ever tried to play...
It took me 3 days to learn to play it.. But I`ve had the music in my head for the past 6 years or so.. maybe longer..
Its recorded on an Kurzweil PC3X I got to try out at a store a couple of times... I need to buy one of those pianos.. its perfect for me...
I only need a job and some money first.. hehe
Enjoy!
