You are very welcome, thank you for taking the time to write a comment here. The good thing about many songs is that their difficulty level can be variable depending on how much you want to do with the song. Spark is a good aspirational piece because it can be calibrated towards many different styles. It's aspirational because while it's definitely achievable for anyone inspired, it's certainly not one of Tori's easiest. :-) Much love, -B
Thanks so much for all your tutorials and all your newer stuff. I am pretty slow with chords but spark seems like something I might be able to play, tho...slowly at first Im sure. Your left hand doesnt move to much, and the chords are fairly simple and very few.. its a good song for me to strive for :)
YW. There are several piano settings on it; it's Roland. It will sound differently based on the camera and where I have the amps positioned, which performance setting it's on, and which of the piano channels and variations are selected.
you might be kidding here cause that seems obvious for me, but I'll explain anyway. A good exemple of a riff is the beginning of Cornflake Girl (when the piano kicks in) what she plays is super recognizable, and it's always been the same (that part at least!) and a bridge is a part of the song where it's not verse nor chorus, usually comes at about three quarters of a song. In Bouncing Off Clouds, the ''well you can stare all day at the sky, but that won't bring her back...'' is the bridge.
Aye, I thought I had responded to this. I mentioned a bit on this in the "sequel" video. The bass notes governing each measure would be a, C, D, and F. There is a brief segment where the progression is instead a, F, G, D before and including the "And the man with the Golden Gun" segment. a, D, C, D during the piano solos and the Rabbit-where'd-you-put-the-keys part.
I would love to but Spark is such a long song w. so many quirks it would occupy at least 4 full length videos. If I could wave a magic wand and have them all upload out of thin air, I would do it though. :-)
Sure, what are you wondering specifically? These videos have to be briskly paced due to the time limits. If I had unlimited length, I would be able to go more in depth.
The left hand in Spark? E, C, D isn't that uncommon of a bass line, so it wouldn't surprise me that it shows up among the works of Tori Amos, Kate Bush, and many other artists and rock bands out there.
Yeah exactly. It's got a pretty large meaning. Anything that makes a song instantly recognizable is usually a riff

Thank you! Always a good day when people are articulating the positive. :-)

I will think about it. :-)
Thank you. I hope this is helpful. :-)

It's definitely Spark, with slight modifications. If you would like to darken it, try experimenting with lowering the whole segment down an octave.

Aw... thank you. This is a great comment.
You are welcome. I hope it works. :-)
