Title: Israel- Friend of God
Post by: Fenix on January 23, 2008, 01:27:46 PM
OK i really need help on this song. No bassist and secondary keys player. just me and a drummer. I am used to only playing the string parts so i need a little help with this please. Does anyone have an arrangement for a solo keyboard? How do you advice i go about playing it in the up-tempo style it is normally played?

Thanks.
