Is there a book like the Mikrokosmos that'll help me progress, while being made up of actual songs and not just little melodies? (Sure, the later ones are essentially songs, but attempting to read them fucks with me.) Or, can anyone suggest pieces that would help me out? At the moment, I can play Erik Satie's Gnossiennes, and Gymnopedies (with the exception of Gnossienne 4, because I can't get the hang of playing different melodies with both hands.)

Aside from that, is there any advice for writing prog lines or solos? It was asked before, but there was no answer, and it's something I'm really interested in. I can never find any good keyboard tabs or sheet music for bands like Dream Theater or Camel or ELP, so all of us prog people are left to go at it by ear. :smith:

Could anyone post some of their favorite legato runs and techniques? I know Chopin has some very smooth ones, but I'm looking to branch out, and I want to step outside of what I already know. (I'm actually looking to incorporate these more with guitar. But I want to get away from the overused Vai/Petrucci style legato and get more into classical, more complex legato.)
