Description

A 30-page tutorial for beginning players and songwriters. It takes a relaxed approach, and gives you tools to create your own music.

(It’s also free.)

By the end, you’ll be able to play these songs:

* “If I Had $1000000” – BNL
* “When I Come Around” – Green Day
* “Evil Ways” – Santana
* “Praise You” – Fatboy Slim
* “Wonderwall” – Oasis

How to use it

1. You’ll want to read the manual in front of a piano or keyboard, not a computer screen. Take the PDF file to Kinkos (or another copy shop) and ask them to print it double-sided, staple-bound, with letter-size pages.
2. Download the accompanying MP3s from http://benyates.info/Pianotracks/ and put them on your iPod, or on a CD. (If you like, track down the original recordings of the songs above.)
3. Find a piano and follow the instructions.
