The pedal for the most part can be down for two beats at a time for most of the tune. However there are a couple spots where the chords change on beats 3 and 4. Use a lead sheet and your ears to figure out where they are. Study the…

I did this for my student Dan. We wanted to play very inside over the Tune Quasimodo which is a contrafact for Embraceable You. Everybody should download this and put your choruses on and post it.
