Chords for Marijuana - KiD CuDi (Piano Lesson by Matt McCloskey)

[G] _ So, for the main instrumental backing track part of this song, you're going to need to
stretch a lot in your right hand.
You know what I always say, if you're stretching and it hurts, stop immediately.
No song is worth hurting your right hand permanently and taking away your ability to play piano.
_ _ _ It has one loop.
You're going to want to think of it as playing around in four different [Bb] octaves.
[Ab] So it goes [Gb] 1, 2, [Eb]
3, [Db] 4. _ _ _ _
[N] And while it may sound pretty intimidating, it's the same pattern in each one of those
octaves it [Abm] goes. _ _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You can see that it's [Abm] root, fifth, minor third, root.
_ _ [B] Now it's true for [Gb] all of those except this one, in which case the third is major as opposed to minor.
[Abm] So once again, _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N]
that's the right hand for your main instrumental backing track. _ _ _
Now your left hand is similar to your right hand in the respect that you're going to be
playing octaves except for the left hand, you [Ab] just hit it and hold it.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Once [Ab] again, _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] that's the left hand for your main backing track.
_ _ Putting together those two parts that I just showed you, you should get something like
this for your main backing track.
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _
[Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] That's your main backing track. _
_ _ Then you'll notice there's a part in the verses _ where that high moving part that I just showed
you drops out and you're only hitting chords.
Those [Abm] chords are going to go as follows. _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ _ That's a G sharp minor, [Gb] _
_ F sharp major, _ _ [Ebm] _ _
D sharp minor, _ [Dbm] _ _ and C sharp minor.
_ _ [Db] With that, your [Ab] left hand is going to be playing.
_ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ [D] Putting those two parts together, you should get something like this.
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _
That's the extra part from your verses.
_ _ _ [E]
Then Kid Cudi's vocal line from the chorus is going to go as [B] follows. _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Abm] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Abm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ With that, [N] your left hand is going to be playing the same progression that I showed you from
that extra verse part [Ab] from before.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Db] _ [G] You remember it.
Putting those two parts together, you [Abm] should get something like this.
_ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Abm] _
[Db] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Dbm] _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ [Gb] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Db] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [N] There you have it.
