That pedal thingy....
Hi Andrew,
I have watched your videos on how to use the pedals, and I have been doing your bang the keyboard and then hold a chord excercise, but I still don't get it when it comes to playing actual songs.
I saw on your video the "pedal line" with the on off bits on it, most of my music has the word "ped" then a flower a bit later on (I guess that means take the pedal off). But it sounds really abrupt, it seems to be quite a fine line between how fast to take the pedal off or leave it on.
So I was wondering if you could please do a video on the start to Fur elise specificaly showing how the pedal is used as that is a tune we all know. It would just be helpful to have a point of reference on how it works in an actual song.
