Tonight I will be doing another cover of the popular Nigerian song Igwe.
So what we'll do tonight, I will go really slow, I will just try to break down the notes and possibly in the next part of the video.
Just like we did in our country what I've done.
So the song, I think from the intro they tend to use a bit of synth in terms of the intro.
So here I've got a club lead and electric piano.
And the song, the notes started, they had the drums room and stuff like [E] that.
[G#]
Now [N] I'm playing in key of F major.
I've transposed the song was played in A major.
But because a lot of African pianists play in F, that's why I'm doing most of the songs in F for now.
And in the next part of the video I'll play in the right key that has been played.
So you guys don't have to limit yourself to playing in F or C or the simpler keys.
So I've transposed to F from A major.
So the [D#]
[E] intro is
[A]
So it's F, [G#] E, [Cm] F, [E] G, C, Bb, [C#] A.
