A really noobish question

[fluidlife]

----(())----o--l
---------------l
---------------l
---------------l

So, (()) = a whole note (The one that is 4 beats)
o = quarter beat (1 beat)
What do I do when that coms up?

help appreciated.

Play the other note while holding one down?  But if its the same note, usually you're holding a pedal down and you just release and play the other one.  A more specific example would help.

thx for replying, I see you user name EVERY where on this forum.

From the song:
Chaos temple, final fantasy (It's a easy song, thats why i'm trying it out.)

So what you're going to do is play the chord, but release and play the B again while still holding down E and G. (Just imagine that the B is a half note while the other 2 are whole notes)

if he's using the pedal (and i don't know, i haven't played that song) can't he just press down the E-G-B chord and then release those notes while still holding the higher E and then play the B B?

There isn't a pedal.  I even posted the measure

maybe the pedal was before the measure.

Pedals are optional. I use them on half the sheets here even tho they aren't written.

And I have a keyboard

Pedals are not optional.  They should only be used if the song SHOULD have the pedal.  Imagine playing Dr Wily Stage 1 with a pedal.  Massive suck.
