This is my keyboard cover of Queen’s “Under Pressure“.
The song seems pretty simple, but there are some underlying parts which most listeners wouldn’t hear. I, originally, thought the only keyboard part was the simple, repetitive, descending “5ths“ riff. Upon further listening, I found that there are some horn-sounding parts, as well, and an organ piano bridge.
I’ve split the lower keyboard into 3 piano zones. I play the eighth note triads in the middle part of the keyboard, but I’ve transposed the upper “5ths“ zone down an octave so that the part is an octave higher up on they keyboard (allowing greater “ergonomic“ separation of my with my wrists 12 inches apart for a 4-minute song could get tiring).
I apologize for the distortion in parts and the mess-up toward the end, but you get the general idea of how I’ve worked out the parts for live performance.
P.S. - You will notice that the low note that I play after they sing “people on streets“ has been transposed. I wanted to be able to play this note using the lowest note on my keyboard, because it’s the lowest piano note in the song and playing the lowest note on my keyboard made sense (and makes it easy to find).
