Yes, the clip is full of shameless plugs to this site, but I’m just a poor college student who’s trying to get by. Anyways, here’s the piano sheet music notes and piano roll notation. Hope you like it.

If this helps you, please go on Youtube and give this video a good rating! Thanks.

Apple revealed its new iPod line, and wow are they pretty damn amazing. The new iPod touch brings you the sexy iPod touchscreen experience of the iPhone and comes armed with wi-fi. The regular iPod has been made smaller and renamed the iPod classic and gets a whopping 160 gig hard drive, which is a pretty good sized external hard drive itself.
