Chords for How to Play "Westworld Opening Theme" | HDpiano Piano Tutorial

[F] _ [Eb] _ [Cm] Hello everybody and [F] welcome to [Eb] HD piano.
My name is Dan.
In [F] this lesson we'll learn [Eb] how to play the
opening credits theme from the HBO [Cm] series [A] Westworld and we'll look at part one in this
video.
Sounds like this.
Two, three, four.
_ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [A] _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ Alright, so that is the first third that we'll learn.
We
have parts two and three as well as the whole song run through video at HDpiano.com when you
wrap this section up.
Here's a question that should get some discussion stirring.
Should we
be afraid of artificial intelligence, of AI?
That's kind of what this Westworld show is all
about.
It gets you thinking.
I'm a huge fan of the show.
Let's talk about what we think about AI in
the comments.
Alright, so this is by far the simplest part of the Westworld opening theme.
Parts two and three are significantly more involved.
So let's give ourself a nice easy
starting point here.
This is middle C right here.
So our left hand is two A's and three A's below
middle C. _
[F] Now we're going to jump that octave A down to octave F.
_ That's going to be a little
theme here to start.
And then we just play this [D] chord in the right hand outlined.
So it's A, [Am] C,
D, [D] and E.
And we're just going to outline that chord [A] ascending.
One, [Am] two, [D] three, [Am] four.
[F]
Just like
that.
And there are a couple ways you can articulate this chord.
If you'd like to hold
[Am] the chord all the way through like I'm doing right now, you can.
Otherwise you can let the
sustain pedal do all the work.
_ [D] _ [Am] [F] So you have the pedal down.
It's going to be a little muddier.
Or you can [A] lift the sustain pedal and see if you can just keep some of the tones through the next
measure.
So [Am] that's _ _ [F] _ _ my preferred method.
Okay, so that's what we're [Am] doing here on the melody.
We're
starting with [D] this outlined [Am] chord.
[F] And then we hold through when we play two more F's.
Now we've got
the same chord [A] outlined a different way.
_ [D] _
[Am] This time the order is A, [D] E, [Am] D, C.
You'll notice it's the
same chord that we played initially.
[A] _ [D] _ [Am] _ _ [F] And we go back to that F for two beats. _
[Am] _ _ [D] _ [Am] Then we repeat the
first statement of that A minor outline.
_ [D] _ [Am] New left-hand notes.
[G] This time we have G's in the
left hand.
_ And then a completely [Bb] new section here. _ _ _
So we're outlining this kind of B flat,
four chord.
B flat, F, E, D in that order.
_ Then [A] _ we land on E in the right, A's in the left.
So
there's not much going on here.
So I'd like to play the entire thing really, really slowly.
I
think you'll be able to gather what you need to pretty quickly here.
So super slo-mo part one.
Two, three, four.
Left hand first.
Two, three, four.
[F] Down to F.
Two, three.
Now we're outlining A minor.
[A] _ _ [Am] _ [D] _
[Am] Down to [F] F.
Two,
three, four.
Now we [A] outline it in a different order.
[D] _ _ [Am] _ [F] _ Two, three, four.
[A] Same as the first.
[Am] _ [D] [Am] Now [G] left hand down to G's.
We have the B flat.
[Bb] _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ Alright.
And just as a little hint, this is what's coming up.
[F] _ _ _ [D] Alright.
So [A] you'll just take a little
taste of that.
You should get excited.
It's my favorite part of the song coming up.
So let's do
part one at a medium tempo now.
Two, three, four.
One, two, three.
Down to [F] F. _
Outline that A minor chord.
[A] _ [Am] _ [D] _ [Am] _ [F] _
_ _ Different order.
[A] _ _ [D] _ [Am] _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [Am] _ [D] _
[Am] Left hand down [G] to G.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ Okay, that's a good medium
tempo.
Let's play it at recorded tempo, which is 74 beats per minute.
One, two, ready, part one.
One, two, three, four.
And then [F] hold on. _
Outline the A [A] minor.
[Am] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ [Am] _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ [Am] _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ Just as a little tease, here's the next [F] part. _
_ _ [D] _ Okay, and we're going to elaborate [Eb] on that idea a good bit.
So that is part one to the [F] Westworld Opening Credits Theme, composed by [Fm] Ramin Djawadi.
[Eb] And I sure hope you guys are excited for part two.
I know I am.
Part one is interesting.
[F] It's cool, but the rest is beyond exciting.

It will take more time, but I promise it will [F] pay off.
