"The Voice"

I'm trying to do the easier things first, like the bass part for "The Voice."  It sounded really easy to figure out, and it was.  It's pretty much just the same three notes over and over again (at one point for a whole two minutes).

I was going to do the hand-claps during the middle part because I figured the hand-claps would be pretty easy.  Yeah… not so much.  I think they're on the off-beat, so it's really difficult to keep in time.  Plus I'm bad at hand-claps anyway.  This would have been only the third time I'd done them, but I failed.

I got some of the easier phrases in the electric piano part though, so it's not just the bass part.

I also learned that this is in C minor, which doesn't seem to be a key that's used very often.
