_ [Eb] Hey guys, back again with another piano tutorial.
This time we're going to be going over Speak to My Heart by Donny McKirkland.
This is in the key of F, and it's from his 1996 solo album.
_ So as it starts off in the key of F, we're going to do a 7-3-6, but with the melody.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ So, think of really doing _ a_
So if you're in F, [D] you're _ doing_
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ So 7-3-6, then we're going to go to a [Eb] minor 5, _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] 1, _ _ _ 5-1-4.
_ But in the intro, you hear him play the [Eb] _
_ C minor 7.
Then it's actually going to be an Eb over G, [Dm] _
an F over an A, _ _ _ [Bb] and a Bb. _ _
_ Alright, then you do it again.
[C] _
[A] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Am] _
_ [F] _ _ _ And he plays [D] a scale, _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ then [Gm] the G minor. _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [E] _
[F] Going to be doing an _ _ A over an F, _ [D] _ _
[E] and then back to the [Bb] G minor. _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ Got it?
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _
Alright, then the verses. _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [F] _ So _ you're playing an Fsus over an [Am] A, _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [F] _
_ C9 to a Fmaj9. _
_ _ _ _ F [D] over A, but sus it. _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
Distinct sound. _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [E] _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ [G] _ _ _ So_
[Gm] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb]
So, it's [Bb] here.
_ [F] C9, Fmaj9.
_ _ Fsus over [Bb] A.
_ _ _ [F] _ Then we're going to go to an F13, _ _ _ [Dm] then Bb.
_ Fmaj9, Fmaj7, sorry.
[Am] _ _ [D] _
F over A, [Gm] G minor, _
[F] _ _ F.
And we're going to do a 7-3-6.
[E] _ _ _ _
Actually, just a 7 and a 6.
But it's going to be this voicing, [D] so think of doing a D [E] major over E. _ _ _
Then you're going to play an Fmaj [F] over an A. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
And then [Dm] D minor, [Bb] _
_ Ebmaj9.
[G] _ _ _
And that's the verses.
[Am] _ _ [Bb] _
_ [C] Holy Spirit, _ give me the _ [F] words [Bb] _
that will bring [C] new [F] life.
Words on [Bb] the wings of [Am] the morning, so [C] dark nights [B] will fade [A] away.
[Dm] Speak to [Bb] my heart.
[Gm] _ Now the next section is_
Speak to my [D] heart, Lord. _
_ Give me [Bbm] your [F] holy word.
If [B] I can hear from you, [Bb] _ then [Gm] I'll know what to do.
[C] I won't [Gm] go alone, [F]
no.
[Cm] And if I [Bbm] go on [F] my own, I'll [Db] let your Holy Spirit [Bb]
guide.
And I'll [Gm] let your word [C] abide.
So, the voicing here, [F] we'll be playing [Gm] F7. _ _
[F] _ Then on your right hand, you're going to be [D] doing an A quarter. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [D]
And [F] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
then _ _ _ _ _ _ _ B9-11 you can think.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [Bbm] _ _
[F] There's different ways to play that.
I've seen people _
_ [Bb] do _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] falsetto.
_ _ [Bbm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ But on the recording, I [D] believe it's this voicing. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ [C] And the next section, after it starts ramping [Cm] up a bit. _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [D] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
So, Am7b5, [D] _ _
_ D [G] augmented, _ _ Am7b5 on G, [F] F over C.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [Am] _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ _
And that's the whole song.
