“Shout” was released in 1984 by British band Tears for Fears and became an iconic song of the 80’s. There have been some great covers of it over the years too, my favourite is the one by Disturbed 🙂 It’s relatively easy to play, with a slow pace and a simple melody – these letter […]
Released in 1986, “True Colors” by Cyndi Lauper became a true 80’s classic hit after spending weeks at the top of the charts. You may have also heard versions by Phil Collins, Kasey Chambers, the Glee cast, Justin Timberlake and Anna Kendrick’s cover, per perhaps in the 2016 animated film Trolls. A slightly trickier one […]
Elton John’s upbeat 1985 pop classic “I’m Still Standing” was a massive hit and is really fun to play. I hope you enjoy playing along with the letter notes 🙂 I’m Still Standing – Elton John was last modified: October 24th, 2018 by nat
Kate Bush is one of my favourites, especially her older stuff! “Running Up That Hill” is one of her most popular and has been covered by Within Temptation and Placebo. I’ve always loved this song and really enjoy being able to play it – it’s not too fast so I nearly managed to keep up […]
Another Michael Jackson hit, this one with a powerful message which is as relevant today as it was in 1982 when “Beat It” was released. A fun one to play – happy practice! Beat it – Michael Jackson was last modified: October 11th, 2018 by nat
Released in 1982 by Toto, Africa has become an iconic song which everyone has encountered at some point and remembers because of that catchy melody =D It has quite a wide note range, good luck with the letter notes below! Did you know?! “Africa” has been covered by many artists including David Essex, Chris de Burgh, Weezer […]
“Dirty Diana” has put Michael Jackson in the charts twice – once upon it’s initial release in 1988 then again in 2009 after Michael Jackson’s passing. A relatively simple and repetitive tune to play, so it should be a nice easy one once you have the main melodies and timings right – enjoy! Dirty Diana – […]
Appropriately timed for Halloween, “Thriller” is one of Michael Jackson’s most iconic songs with that famous dance everyone loves to imitate! The song is very long and has many different cuts and edits, so I’ve captured the melody of the verse and the chorus which you can repeat as necessary depending on the version you’re […]
Featuring in the film 1982 Rocky III, “Eye of the Tiger” has become a well-known classic rock track which has been covered and parodied numerous times! A fun challenge for beginners, I’m really enjoying playing this one! More 80’s rock is due I think – happy practice 🙂 Eye of the Tiger – Survivor was […]
The classic 80’s ABBA hit “Super Trouper” translated over really nicely into letter notes 🙂 Whether you know the original, heard it in the film Mamma Mia or even the A-Teens cover version, I hope you enjoy this as a practice piece – I did! Super Trouper – ABBA was last modified: September 20th, 2018 […]
It's a bit odd, but for some reason nat really enjoys spending her free time on a laptop (ideally with a coffee and a cat) rather than 'going out' or 'having fun'!
