It's really simple, but I had to look it up. Had it down in about 10 minutes, but apparently I botched the ending. So I'd say it's slightly more impressive than playing the bit from “Smoke on the Water” on guitar. (Which is also something I can do ^_^) ..I envy people who can actually play music.

I remember learning piano back in high school. It was really tough, but fun. I wanted to play some Final Fantasy songs, but they were much more complicated than I though. I think I only managed to play the victory fanfare.
Well at least I know how to read notes on the sheet music and on the piano now. I was practically clueless before taking that piano class.

I have the vaguest of vague ideas on how to read sheet music and such. Like, I know basically what whole, half, quarter, eighth, and n-teenth notes are, and if I sit there long enough I can figure out what each of the “letter”-values are. And I know which “letter” each key is. There are some weird symbols that I don't really understand still, though. And, often-times, sheet music I come upon has much too complicated strings of notes for me to play. I know a lot of stuff in a strictly conceptual sense too.. I have the major chords memorized, but no idea what to do with them; I've read a bit on inverted chords and arpeggios; I tried memorizing major scales, but didn't get very far; and so on.. I probably should actually just take formal lessons, because all this information is useless to me without some guidance. I think I just taught myself to play (very basically) Happy Birthday, too. It still sounds a bit off, though.. Oh well. (EDIT: I think I also got down the main bit from the Imperial March, but since that's less impressive than the Final Countdown, which hasn't impressed any of you apparently, I won't bother. Screw you guys. ( EDIT: xD I learned to play one-handed Greensleves [does that make it Greensleve?], but once again, not posting it here — screw you guys ))

Lol that's cool! |DD I can't hear that song without thinking of thespeedgamers now though!
I'd love to learn to play piano, but I don't have anyone to teach me. Oh well, maybe someday.

Oh krikey, old old.. ish, I guess.
There's a video somewhere on Youtube that show you how to do this bit of the song; I just followed that. I can do some other junk on piano too by now, but nothing that's internet-worthy. In fact, this thread isn't internet-worthy. I wish it would go away.

Ohh!
Well, all I can play on the Piano is the 8 melodies tune from EarthBound Zero. |3 but that's a really simple tune that's easly learned by ear even.
