Apologies I could not find where to start a new thread so am posting here.
I have made some progress on Misty up to the fifth bar “Kit-ten-up-a” part.My progress is slow because I still dont understand the dot song notation fully . I am an absolute beginner and cant read music.Can you clarify what the text thats around the measure denotes.
The part on the left seems to be the chord struck –so for the Kit-ten-up-a-section is it :
1) the Eb7 chord which is denoted on the left. And corresponds to the dot notation on the measure
2) For the chord..whats the parts below the Eb7 on the left? What do the M , #11, 3 b9 and the horizontal line and b7 denote?
3) For the text on the right , I am guessing these are the individual notes . WHats the note with the parenthesis (C)?
4) The other notes , I gather are struck along with the EB7 chord and are Bb, G, Eb
5)What does the text in the bottom denote..guess this matches with the chord on the left?I have tried to index my questions on the image below . Sorry for the number of questions because I couldnt find a more detailed explanation in the audio.
In addition to David S’s audio I am also trying to listen to the version from this youtube channel and am particularly stuck at “Kitten on a tree” because it does not sound like I am doing the right thing with either audio recording. Hoping that understanding the notation text better will help me get un-stuck.
Thank you for your help in advanceThank you for these questions and answers here. I too came here because after restarting the course for the third time in 10 years ( had stopped prematurely after two weeks before) ..I felt the Jump from practicing scales to learning Misty is huge and am wondering if I missed something. Seems i did not, and I just have to stick it out. When I am playing the chords for Misty on a regular piano it sounds nothing like what’s on the recording ..possibly because of the sounds of David’s piano being more electronic.. I am having a hard time telling if I am playing the song correctly. That said, I have made it the furthest this time and loving it and want to stick it out. Is there a clearer recording of Misty as voiced in the printed sheets?
