    Hi, guys, I was wondering if some of you who really love the music of Vince Guaraldi, particularly 'The Great Pumpkin Waltz' might do a huge but simple favor for me?

    I would love to learn how to play 'The Great Pumpkin Waltz' on piano and on Youtube, the channel 'hdpiano' has done some great tutorials of 'Linus and Lucy,' 'Skating,' and 'Christmas Time is Here.' You can vote on which songs they'll do lessons for, and as of this writing, 'Great Pumpkin Waltz' has 39 votes! They have done lessons for songs with as little as 25 votes, but more votes increases the chances they'll do the lesson.
    All you have to do is
    1) Go to Youtube
    2) search HDpiano
    3) click on any lesson
    4) click on the little down arrow below the video to read the channel or video description
    5) click on 'Request A Tutorial' link
    6) where it says enter artist or song, just type 'Great Pumpkin' and you should see Vince Guaraldi Trio: Great Pumpkin Waltz come up------select that
    7) Click 'Vote' and watch your vote be added

    It seems like a lot of steps but it really just takes all of 20 seconds. Thank you so much for considering this.
    And please discuss how much you love this music. To me this song defines the feeling of Autumn and Halloween. I love it.

    No problem. I'd kinda like to be able to play it too.

    Has anyone bought the 4k blu-ray of 'Great Pumpkin?' I was wondering if it's worth upgrading from the standard blu-ray.

    The cool thing is they've done tutorials for songs with fewer votes, but this is such an underdog that it's going to be neat to see how far we can get it up the list. It's already higher than some songs by artists such as Queen, Journey, Styx. LOL
    Let's show them that there's more love for Vince beyond those 3 songs they've done from 'A Charlie Brown Christmas.'

    This has also been remastered as part of a 2 CD set of WB recordings. I'm thinking of picking it up to do a comparison and get the other material.

    Here's an example of what this is all about. Here's the part 1 lesson of HDpiano's 'Linus and Lucy' tutorial:

    Awesome, thanks a million, adlerjf.
    It's near 50 votes now. This is great for a Guaraldi tune that a lot of people know, but don't associate with the title of the piece.
