So - you wanna play piano? Lets see if I can help. Regarding chords and chord structures, I haven't got a scooby doo (clue!). However, I began playing like yourself, and it is possible to learn without the use of teachers and stupid books. I had one lesson when I was 14 - it was hell! She kept moani...

I am a self taught player, and whenever I play Rachmaninov's Prelude in C Sharp Minor, my forearms get really tight and painful.

I don't know what I am doing wrong (hand positioning etc..) and would be grateful for any advice/instruction to alleviate the problem.

Thank You

Nicky
