Could anyone give me any advice? Alright, I'm playing Kirby Air Ride- Frozen Hillside on piano(the Frank D'Angelo one) and I can do the 16th note part at the beginning pretty ok, but I haven't really played that many 16th notes before in a row and was wondering did I get the fingering right.
I use 4-5-4-3-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1(switch to 4), and repeat to the Middle D.
And also, I'm noticing that when Frank played it on youtube, he skipped the coming down part of the 16th notes. As did Greenlight, so I figure I'll do the same lol. Does anyone mind telling me what notes Frank hit on that rising 16th part? Thanks. :)

So you're using this arrangement?

For the first 16th note part, I've always gone 2-3-4-3-2-1-1-4-3-2-1. To go from the A# to A, just slide your thumb off of the accidental. The transition from A to G is somewhat awkward but it works for me.

I think Frank goes 3-4-5-4-3-2-1-3-2-1-2, so you could try that as well.

Thank you sir, but I got the fingering in order a short bit after I typed the post D:. I'm using the same fingering as I did previously, I just got a bit cleaner with playing it, lol.
What about the 16th note part on the left hand? What did you do for that?

Thanks bro, but did you just play the rising part on the left hand in those measures? I don't know if I can play it coming up and down.........how much practice does it take? I'm right at measure 29(started the song 2 days ago).
