Hi, this is TJ with Piano Clubhouse.
Today I'm going to show you
Moving Forward
as recorded
By Hezekiah Walker.
[E] The song's in the key of A.
[G#m]
[A] A has three sharps in it.
[B] C sharp
[D] [E] F [F#] sharp and [C#] G sharp
[Am] All right, [D] so let's get started.
The introduction of the song
Starts out with kind of the main line
[Em] [B] [D]
[F#m] [D]
[A] Right hand is going to be on an A
[D] D and F sharp
[E]
[D] Next you're going to move to the right
[E] Everything's going to move one note of the scale to the right to B, E
G sharp.
This third chord, leave this E here in the middle and
These outside fingers move to the right again
[A] We're now on an A major chord, C sharp, E and A
Then go back down the same two chords you just came [E] from
[D] Okay
[E] Left hand is going to be on [D] a D
[E] [A]
[D] [Em] [A] And once you get back [C#m] down
[D] The last chord after [E] that is an E major chord.
G sharp, E.
I'm sorry, [G#] C
G [E] sharp, B, E natural.
An E major [F#] chord inverted one [D] time.
So that's all over D
[Em] [D]
[F#m] Next left hand is going to go to F sharp.
Right hand is going to just go to, you can [Bm] go to A major [A] chord, A
C sharp, E.
[B] You can add that B if you [F#m] like
Just stay there.
Then repeat [D] it.
[Em] [D] Now the second [A] time
[E] Instead of going down to that E major [A] chord, go to this A suspended chord.
A, D, E
Left hand is on A and E
So that [Em] second chord is you're hitting the B and the E [C#m]
and roll [B] that B up to C sharp
[A]
And then from here, the song kind of starts to build
It builds [F#] up for four counts and then it [D] repeats that whole section again.
So let's run that from the beginning
[E]
[F#m]
[D]
[E] [G#m] [D]
[A] One, two, three, [D] four
[Em] It [D] repeats.
[Em] The band is all [D] in now.
[F#m]
[F#] [D] [E]
[D] [Em] Now the last time, [F#m]
[E] instead [B] of going back to the
[A] The [B] second time through once the band, once we do the build up and everybody comes in and we repeat this section
At the end of it, instead of [A] going
Instead of ending it there we go
F sharp over an A major chord
[E]
Then [G#] left hand goes to G sharp or the right hand goes down back to an E major chord
[E] G sharp, B, E
And then once you hit this you can kind of roll up the right
Just hitting that E major chord.
Just voicing it out
up octaves
Okay, [D] one more time slowly
You [Em]
[F#m] [F#] can do it again if you want
But it's not necessary.
You can just [E] play it one time and [Em] [F#m] it kind of stay here
[D]
[Em] Probably sounds better if you do it that way instead
[F#m] [E]
[A] Okay, [B] then we go into the
Technically, this is actually what we're doing is once [A] when the soloist comes in
He's singing the chorus first just by himself.
So this technically isn't the verse.
This [N] is just the chorus
He's just singing it by himself.
So let's show you the chorus
[A]
