House of the Rising Sun organ solo tutorial chords
Start Jamming...
This is a tutorial for a video I made previously of house of the rising Sun just kind of the
solo part of it
And this is just the way I did it in that video
So I think what I'll start with is the left hand
Okay, there's a chord progression.
I'll show it on the screen and you should probably write this down
It will help help you out so the first chord
Is a minor
It's the only minor chord the rest are all just regular chords, but if you're not familiar with chords
Typically you play the first the third the [A] fifth
[C]
And in this case we're gonna play an active up from the first.
We'll call it the eighth I [Am] guess
That's a minor
But we're not going to play it solid we're gonna break [Gbm] it up.
We're gonna
Each chord we're gonna do the exact same way in this first part and play [A] the first [C] third
[E] [A] The [E]
fifth [C] the third and you switch to the next chord which is C
[G] [C] [G] And [E] [D] D
[Bb] [Gbm]
[D] [Gb] [F]
[C]
Yeah
[A] The next set of chords a minor [C]
[A] C
[C]
[E] II
twice
[Ab] [A] next set a [C] minor
[A] [C]
C [D] II
That's [F]
[Abm]
a [A] minor
[C] [Am] [C]
[E] II
So
[Ab]
[N] you want to practice that and kind of get that down where it's automatic?
Then work on adding the right hand And I'll
Play that now.
I guess in the first part if if you don't know all those chords are you can look that up
Online and with the right hand
I'll just play slowly.
I'll play the left hand along slowly so you kind of get a feel for it
How it's gonna sound anyway, and I'll just play it slower [Am] rather than try to speak out all the notes
And
[C]
then the any of the ease in this [F] part you can play a grace note of E [E] flat [Em] like that
[D] Alright
[A]
[F]
[A] [Am]
[C]
[E]
[Em] [C] [A]
[Am]
[C]
[D]
[Gb]
[F] [G]
[Am]
[E] [Ab]
[Em]
[D]
[N] for this last section
I'll show you a chord progression again
Instead of playing with the left hand we're gonna play a three note chord progression with the right hand
And the left hand will just play
the root of the chord
so the first chord is a minor so with the left hand all I'm going to do is play a
Just a single [A] note
[N] The right hand for this set of chords and a clue a minor starting on
A so [Am] that's a C E
And [Ab] I'm gonna play [N] it solid and then broken.
This is gonna be the same for all these chords coming [Am] up
The [N]
left-hand Eric's just gonna play an a along [Am] with it
[A]
I'm [N] gonna switch to C, but I'm gonna start on G.
So this might be a little tricky
[C] And start that's my chord
Still the same notes of the C chord
It's C E G, but the order I'm gonna start on G.
So you can go G C E
With my left hand, I still play C.
That's the root of the chord
So if I play it solid first and then broke go to D starting on the F [D] sharp
You
Go to [Ab] F starting [F] on F
[Am] Back to a minor E [A] starting on G [E] sharp
[Am] And [E] alright, I guess [N] to put all together I would switch the tone over to an organ sound I like to use a rock organ
And I'll just play it real quick so you can kind of see what the finished product sounds [Am] like and looks like
[C] [D]
[F] [Am]
[C] [E]
[Am]
[C] [D]
[F] [Am]
[E] [Am]
[C] [D]
[F] [Am]
[E] [Am]
[E] [N]
And one thing I didn't do there you you can play along with a
Rhythm you want to use something that's got three beats per measure
Might be called a six eight pattern
Maybe even a swing swing pattern might work
but you don't want a
Regular eight beat or four beat per measure
Because that won't work.
But there you go.
Hope it helps
