Hi folks,
I've been trying to learn the attached hymn, and I'm struggling with it. I'm used to playing from fake books, and easy Hal Leonard-type stuff. I'm guessing this one was scored for an organ with bass pedals (which I have no experience playing!) Even when using the "AI Fingered" mode on my Tyros, the chord / bass changes come so frequently and close together that I'm finding it difficult to play smoothly on-tempo. Perhaps I can omit some chords, or substitute some of the slash chords with conventional ones so they can be played using inversions, thus reducing the amount of hand movement.
Very grateful for any guidance (either general or specific) from our music teachers / more experienced players, as to how I can make this song easier to play, while keeping the feel of the original score intact!
