Chords for CuDi Zone - KiD CuDi (Piano Lesson by Matt McCloskey)

So your verse and your chorus both have really really similar backing tracks.
The chords for your verse and the chorus are the same.
[F] Here they are on the right hand as follows.
_ _ [Am] _
_ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Am] For the [B] verses you're just gonna hold each of those chords.
It doesn't really
move around a whole lot and it's pretty
pretty laid back.
So the chords for your [F] verse are gonna go as follows. _
[Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ [F] _ _
_ [Am] _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ [F] _
So on and so forth.
With that your left hand is going to be playing this.
_ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ _ _
Putting those two hands together [F] you should get something like this
for your verses. _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ [F] _ _
[Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [N] With that in mind
you're gonna want to think of the chorus as being just like the verse
and split it up into two parts each with its own variation.
The first part of the chorus, the variation
is gonna come instead of playing, [Dm] _ [C] _ you're gonna play
[Dm] [C] which _ if [Abm] you didn't see [Dm] is. _
[C] _ _ _ You're also gonna wanna
keep hitting each chord during the chorus as opposed [F] to just holding it.
With that in mind, the right hand part for your first part of the chorus should sound like this.
_ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ [F] _
_ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ _
[Dm] _ [C] _ [Em] You get the [Dm] idea of that little, [C] [Abm] you almost don't even hit these notes, you kinda just
[Dm] roll through them to get to this chord. _ _ _ _
The second part of your chorus
is gonna have a [G] variation almost [F] right off the bat.
It's gonna go
so [Am] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Am] you pretty much [Ab] just skip the rest [Gbm] of the chords after you [F] go.
_ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] Putting those two [F] pieces together your chorus is gonna sound like this.
_ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _
[Dm] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Em] _ _
[Dm] _ [C] _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Am] _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ That's your backing track for the entire song.
_ And Kid Cudi's vocal line from the chorus is gonna go as follows.
[Ab] _ _
[Eb] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Cm] _
[D] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Cm] _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ [Eb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ You'll [Am] notice that that part [G] follows the same thing that I just showed you for [N] the
backing track in the chorus.
It's because there's an underlying violin line that follows Kid Cudi's vocal line.
With it, your left hand's gonna be playing the same chord [F] progression as Ben playing.
[A] _
_ _ [F] _ _ [Ab] Putting the two parts together you should get something like this
for your chorus.
_ [F] _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[D] _ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Dm] [N] And there you have it, Cudi's Own by Kid Cudi.
