Is it to difficult for 13 year olds???
I love this song! But I only know the first few lines. And thats only because my uncle taught me. So if you could post something like if it is to hard for a early intermediate person that would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

Faithfully Do Your Octave Stretch
For those who can stretch an octave and keep the beat going, it's fine, otherwise not for under twelve year old's. My copy of Faithfully, had dark and light areas which made it harder at times to read the notes. Did not like the separate inserted page. Would prefer fold out pages instead.

Mediocre
I hear alot more in the song than I play in the sheet music. 5 sharps isn't a biggie for me, but it may be for some....not as authentic as I would have liked it to be.

Nice, but not all melody line
The arrangement is beautiful. 5 sharps is a killer! I don't care for it because for half of the piece, the melody line isn't in the piano part. It is a nice piece & I love this song. I bought to enjoy the piece with just the piano, so I was a bit disappointed.

Good base coverage. Average Accuracy
The piece was good in terms of giving you a good coverage of the song, but the sheet music didn't match some of the not-so-obvious parts in the song. It took a bit of tweaking to get it to match the tune with the recording, but overall, it was passable.

Great piano song
Great song for the piano. 5 sharps but really not that difficult to master. Once you have it down the music just flows. Fun to play. One of my favorite songs to play, also a huge journey fan so my favorite song to listen to Steve Perry sing.

Can anyone help me?
I love this song and the sheet music is ALMOST perfect... one question: has anyone come up with a different way to play the part of "two strangers learn to fall again"? I think there should be a higher chord in there somewhere, or something's not quite right I'm not sure what. If anyone has mastered this song and played that part in a different way, could you PLEASE help me out and post it on here?? Thanks : )

Extremely Difficult
This is one of the most difficult pieces I have run up against, and I am probably an intermediate player. I wouldn't suggest it for beginners - if you are a Journey fan, try "Open Arms", that's a little bit easier.

Still a favorite
I've had this sheet music for years and it continues to be one of the first songs I play for people. They love hearing it, and I love playing it. I had to play with the ending a little to get it just right with some ad-libbing, but other than that, this music is true to sound. You'll think you're Jon Cain when you play this. P.S. Don't let the 5 sharps scare you away.

Very "Faithful" Transcription
I was amazed at how much this piece sounds like what you hear on the radio. I really enjoy it. I played it through the first time with no problem.

Favorite Journey song
It's a difficult song to master at first, but if you can't manage the five sharps, you can transpose down to Bb, with two flats.

The second greatest of all time...
This is the second greatest ballad of all time. NO COMPARISON! The piano part in this song is absolutely the best. However, this is also a very, very hard song to play. Very challenging. But don't let that scare you. Once you get it down, it sounds beautiful. A++++++++++++++

5 Sharps!
This is a very, very great song. But if you get it you better be able to play all 5 sharps. I would say its more for advanced players.
