    Yeah, it'd be nice if somebody either recorded these on a real piano, or at least recorded a hand-played take on a keyboard. And it'd be even nicer if they did it with a full band accompaniment.

    It's an option and gives your songs more value, so why not?

    Well I've been using MIDI to make these songs as well as you probably have noticed, though I recently found a REALLY nice VST that makes it sound very realistic so I'm using that on some of the newer songs.

    As for the teaching component, I think it's not a 100% perfect teaching tool, but I think it's better than say, for example, looking up a video of someone on YouTube and looking at their hand movements and then trying to copy that, because that's what I'm doing to make the right-hand charts and that seems like most of the work. There's obviously better methods like actually learning the songs via sheet music/teachers, but I figured this was a quick-ish way to learn the basics or the theme of a song (like the main hook on Fur Elise).

    I vote YES to the left hand on bass! It adds a lot to the song, and takes nothing away...

    Also, keep the classical stuff coming! Yes, it isn't 100% perfect as a teaching tool, but these teach the basics of some classic songs
