Hello, welcome to Escape the Box Piano, it's Dan here.
This is another in my five-minute
riff series where I teach you the main riff or a loop from a song that's going to get you 90 to
100 percent of the way through the song, learning a very short amount of material.
Today we're going
to look at Havana by Camilla Cabello.
This was a request.
Let's get stuck in the straight hand.
Middle C in the right hand.
We're going to play a chord of G minor, G, B flat [Gm] and D.
Now we're
going to move to a chord of [N] E flat major.
Move the thumb down to the E flat, stay on the G in the middle
and the B flat at the [Eb] top.
[N] And now we're going to move to a chord of D major 7, F sharp in the bass, A.
[Gbm] [Gb]
And after [N] that chord we're going to play, keep the thumb and the second finger on the F sharp and A.
Use your fifth finger to play the E [Gbm] flat and then slide off onto the [D] D.
[Fm] Next chord, another chord of
G minor, G, B flat and D.
[Gm] [N]
Now we're going to play that E flat major chord but with a D at the top, so
thumb on the E flat, second finger on the G, [Gm] third finger on the B flat [Eb] and fifth finger on the D.
[Gm] [Eb]
And then our F sharp, A [Db] and C.
[Gb] [Ab] And then finally F sharp, [D] A and D.
[Fm] That entire sequence [Gm] in [Eb] [Gb]
[Gbm] [D]
[Gm] [Eb]
[Gb] [D]
[Bbm] the left hand
from middle C.
I'm going to go down to G and then an octave below that and we're going to play [G] G
and then [Bb] D [D] twice, E flat twice, [Eb]
[Fm] B flat [Bb] once [Eb] and then down to [D] the D [Ab] and then A and [A] D,
[D] [Ab]
A, D, [A] A.
[D] [A]
It [G] repeats in a similar way, G, D [D] twice, [Gb] E flat [Eb] twice, B [Bb] flat and then a very short staccato,
so that means detached D.
[D]
[N] You come straight off that and there's a bit of space and then A, [A] D
[D] and [G] then A, [Fm] D [A] again.
[D]
Hands [G]
together, [D] [Eb] [Bb]
[D]
[A] [G] [D]
[Eb] [Bb] [D]
[Ab] [G] slowly.
[Gm] [Eb]
[D]
[A] [D] [A]
[D] [G]
[Gm] [Eb]
[D] [A] [D]
[A] [D]
[N] Record speed for this is 105 beats per minute.
Let's put the metronome on and play at that speed.
One, two, [Gm] three, four.
[Eb] [D]
[Gm] [Eb]
[D]
Play that over [Ab] and over and you've got 99% of the song.
[Gm] [Eb]
[D] [Gm]
[Eb] [D]
[Gm] [Eb]
[D] [Gm]
[Eb] [D]
[N]
Go onto YouTube and find this song and at
1.23 there's a break with a slightly different riff.
Both hands do exactly the same thing.
Let's
look [G] at one hand, right hand first.
From middle C we're going to go down to G, play that twice,
then [Bb] B flat twice, [G] G again, then [Gb] F sharp, [G] [Gb]
A [A] twice [Bbm] and C, [Ab] E flat, D.
[D]
[Eb] [G] [Bb]
[G] [Gb] [A]
[Cm] [D] [N] Both hands play that absolutely [G] together [Bb] and [G] [Gb]
[A] [Cm] [D]
[N] you play that four times.
At 105 beats per minute it
sounds like this.
One, two, three, [G] four.
[Bb] [G] [Gb]
[A] [Cm] [G] [Bb] [G]
[Gb] [A] [Cm] [G]
[Bb] [G] [Gb] [A]
[Cm] [G] [Bb] [G]
[Gb] [A] [Cm] [F]
[N] At that point you can go back to the main riff.
That's it, that's all there is to it.
