This looks like a lot of fun! You can play a keytar that you can stand with or sit down with… About 20% through the video they show someone actually playing the keyboard part for bohemian rhapsody… it didn’t look like the right notes which was kind of a let down… UPDATE: i played along with the song they had and it looks like all the notes were in the right key and it was a good simplified version of bohemian rhapsody. So if you got really good at rockband3, you could then sit at a real piano and play it!!!

but I have a feeling this will make a lot more people want to play piano than guitar because of the challenge on rock band!!! I’m excited! I think we have to get one of these for the piano school in seattle

In this piano lesson, we cover the music that plays for 15 seconds or so in the Super Mario Brothers video game series when you get an “invincible star”. Video game music has been a great teaching tool for me. I find that nothing inspires young kids more than to learn a song they’ve heard a million times on their favorite video game.

The chords are Dmin7 and Cmaj7. The rhythms are almost a jazzy samba type pattern.
Most of the video game music from the mario series was written by koji kondo. His original venue was the video game console, but now his music is played by orchestras and bands all over the world!

You get the star if you learn this song!
