I Don't Like Mondays (The Boomtown Rats) Piano Cover

This iconic piano ballad is great fun to play, written in B major and played largely on the black keys. So sad that school shootings have become increasingly prevalent in our society.

Welcome to my channel, where I like to present my instrumental cover arrangements of popular songs for intermediate or medium level solo piano. The camera is positioned to give the best view of my hands so it can serve somewhat as a tutorial. I am playing a Yamaha P515 digital piano.

First class Greg! Would you ever consider doing a tutorial on I Don't like Mondays, I'd love to be able to play that. Thank you for your time and for posting your videos.

[@gregtricker-reissig7301]

Thanks for listening, Colin. Unfortunately, I'm not set up to make tutorials. But I have started transcribing some of my more popular arrangements upon request. If you read sheet music, I can add this to the list. Let me know :-)

[@colinbermingham9688]

@@gregtricker-reissig7301 Thanks for your reply Greg. I’m not a great reader Greg but that would certainly help. I’ve almost got the intro down but that would certainly help for the parts that I can’t see where your fingers are. Thanks so much.Colin 👏👏

[@gregtricker-reissig7301]

@@colinbermingham9688 It takes me about 8 hours to transcribe a song, Colin, so I might give that a miss if it's not what you're looking for. Feel free to reach out to me for help with sections. You can, for example, quote the time frame, e.g., e.g. from 2:37 to 2:41, and I can transcribe or otherwise help you that way, and send to you off-line 🙂

[@colinbermingham9688]

@@gregtricker-reissig7301 Thanks so much Greg and i’ll persist with my efforts. If I get stuck I’ll do what you’ve suggested. Thanks for your time Greg much appreciated.👍

Dope job man! Fantastic

Thanks for listening Mike! ☺️

Nice

[@christianp3270]

Is the sheet music of your version available please?

[@gregtricker-reissig7301]

Hi Christian. Sorry, but I have not yet transcribed this arrangement. I do them completely manually, which takes a long time, so I usually wait until I receive several requests.

[@christianp3270]

Thank you, if you ever get round to doing this one please do let me know!

[@catherinemullen459]

Hi there, do you have the sheet music for this arrangement?❤

[@gregtricker-reissig7301]

Thanks for listening, Catherine. I'm sorry, but I haven't yet transcribed this arrangement.
