I came in for some criticism of my last arrangement of this tune on a Yamaha keyboard forum that I frequent. Most people liked it but some, the more traditionalist I suspect, didn’t like the swing style. They also suggested it was too slow. I played it in that video at 144bpm and Chuck Berry performed the original at 148bpm, so not *that* much slower. Anyhow, for those people, and to continue my learning here’s a more upbeat, rock ‘n’ roll, regular 4/4 time version. I played this at 166bpm which I think does provide more entertainment when played only as an instrumental. I also played around with voices and harmonies to try and give it more balanced and ‘full’ feel. Hope you enjoy it.

i have a keyboard without a case and i’m taking a plane (southwest airline). it’s a decent sized keyboard, about three feet tall and maybe a foot wide. can i take that on? i can’t find much information about it on their site and i don’t have minutes on my cell to call and ask. much appreciation for help.

also, if i can take it, what are the requirements? does it cost anything? how much?

Electric Guitar (rhythm)
or Piano
I have some previous knowledge of the guitar though very basic, as i broke my old guitar whilst intoxicated.
I’m not afraid to put in very hard work but which would you suggest, i love both but for obvious reasons do not want to take them both up.
