Too Much Time On My Hands (instructional cover)

This is my cover of Styx's "Too Much Time On My Hands". I sampled the intro and end ending, rather than trying to re-create it (which would have been pretty challenging).

My left hand, playing bass synth, is super-busy throughout the entire song (the bass player plays the same part, as well). The center section of the keyboard is mapped to a Fender Rhodes patch and the right section of the keyboard is mapped to a "synthy-sounding" downward filtered sound.

Some parts of the song are highly syncopated, so a good deal of concentration is needed to make sure I don't lose track of the downbeat (the drummer needs to focus on the downbeat, as well).

Although mentally challenging (for me), this is a fun song to play. :-)

BTW...our bass player plays the hand clap part with his MIDI foot controller.
