Had to do it this week.
So in this video in particular, we're looking at the verse and the chorus
That's the pretty much the whole meat of the song, right?
And it's [Bm] the same piano riff for for the whole chorus and the whole verse that section sounds like this
_ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ Okay, that repeats.
So let's get started.
Let's do the [G] left hand first
[B] _
pinky on B
_ Octave below [Gb] middle C and then we're gonna do thumb on F sharp.
So these two notes
This is [B] our first chord B and F sharp.
There are four chords total in this progression our second chord
We're gonna move down [G] a little bit pinky on G thumb on D
G D
_ Third chord moving up pinky is gonna take your thumbs [D] place on this D
_ Thumbs up on a so D and a that's our third chord and our fourth chord are moving down pinky to a low [A] a
thumb on e
Okay, _ _ so first chord [B]
E and F sharp
[G] second chord G and D
Third [D] chord D and a and our [A] fourth chord is a me
[B] Okay, one two, three [G] four
Four two three [D] four _ _ [A] try that with [B] four one two, [G] three four one two, [D] three four
One two, three [A] four a little [B] faster now two three [G] four
_ [D] _
[A] Three four
_ [B] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ That's it so there is to it let's have the right hand
[C] We're gonna hang out just above middle [D] C here on D and F sharp
And guess what right hand plays these same notes for every single one of those left hand [Bm] chords
So our first chord _ _
Second chord left hand moves down, but [G] right hand says _
third [D] chord
Right hands the same still and the fourth chord _
[A] same
_ Let's try playing those together four counts each ready [Bm] one two, [G] three four
_ [D] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ Little faster [B] now one two, [G] three four, [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ that's it.
So guys we [F] got both hands playing
[Bm] Starting to sound like the song all we need to do now is add some rhythm
Okay, so what we're gonna do is take turns between the hands left right left [G] right right _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ Same pattern for each one of these [Bm] chords
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ _ Do a little [Bm] faster
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
