Hey everyone, this is Winston coming to you all with a piano tutorial of Ed Sheeran's
Photograph.
We're going to get right into it.
Here's the intro.
_ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [Em] Okay, so right hand, E [E] octave, D sharp, [Em] E, [E] B, A, G sharp.
Okay, and just keep [A#] repeating
that.
That's right hand.
Left hand, starting off with an E, B. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And then C sharp, G [C#m] sharp. _
_ _ _ _ _ B, F [B] sharp, _ _ _ A, _ _
[A] _ E, _ and then I, A together with the E on the right hand. _
_ _ Alright, this is going to be the verse.
[G] I'm going to play it slightly [F#] faster than the
recording just to save [E] time. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ Alright, so the verse, very simple, split up into two halves.
Left hand, [E] E, [C#m] C sharp, [B] B, [A] A, in that order, very [F#] simple.
[E] _ Right hand, _ _ literally manipulating
_ _ _ B, B, _ _ _ _ _ B, B, and [C#m] _ _ you [Em] do that four [G#m] times.
The second half, [A] left hand is the same [F] thing,
I just add a [F#] little bit extra [F] at the ends of each [E] iteration.
So you do the same thing,
and as you're holding the B now, you're going to be doing B, G [C#m] sharp, _ _ _ _ _ B, G [B] sharp.
Okay, so you just add those two notes in instead of just holding the [N] high B. _ _ _
Okay, this is going to be the transition.
[C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Okay, so for the [C#m] transition, you're going to start off with a C sharp minor, 1, 2, 3,
[F#] 4, and then A [A] major, 2, 3, 4.
[E] _ It gets a little tricky with the timing here, so I'm going
to count it off for you to let you know where I [G] come in with the B and [B] then the E triad.
[F#] So you're coming in with the B just [F] slightly before [A] the downbeat.
2, 3, [E] 4, 1, _ [A] _ 2, 3, [E] 4, _
1, _ _ _ _ [B] 4, and then B major, 2, 3, 4, and then the same [C#] timing.
_ _ So, [B] _
2, 3, [C#m] 4, 1. _
_ So this is C sharp minor, and then B sharp E, _ _ [A] E major, 2, 3.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] So a pickup of E, C [E] sharp, into E major, and [B] then D major. _ _ _
_ _ _ [G#] Okay, this is going to be the [E] chorus. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
Okay, so this is going to be the chorus, starting off [E] with a standard D major, 2, 3. _ _
_ _ _ Pick up with an E, B, E, [C#] into a _ B, F sharp, [B] B, E,
_ _ _ to a B, D sharp on the right hand.
The whole thing.
1, _ 2, _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] 3, _ _ _ _ _ and then _ _ you're literally just lifting up the fingers that are already holding down already,
so B, F sharp, B, D sharp.
_ Into a [C#m] C sharp minor, 2, _ 3, and same thing.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ So here I have A, E, A, B, and with an E on top, and I repeat the A, B. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ So here again, _ _ and _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ then you go back into the E major.
So the first chorus only happens once, and the second chorus is going to happen [D] multiple times.
_ _ _ [F] Okay, this is going to be the bridge, last section of the song.
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
It's going to be the bridge, last section, second verse, second [G] transition, second chorus.
I could do different versions of them, but they're only slightly more emphatic than their first counterparts,
and I just don't want to, I just don't think it's a necessary use of time.
So I'm just going to jump right to the bridge right now.
Right hand, you're just going to be doing the same thing over and over again pretty much,
and left hand's just manipulating the triads.
I'm going to play both hands slow-mo, and hopefully you get the notes.
_ _ _ [C#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
This is A. _ _ _ _ _
Right hand's still the [E] same.
E. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And then to a B.
[B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ So again, as with most things that I do, [F#] usually the left hand and right hand,
they're always complementing each other, [C#] filling in each other's [F#] gaps.
You're going to notice that throughout [N] every iteration of the bridge.
And that's it.
_ After the bridge, you're going to have a couple more choruses,
and then you're going to have an ending with a very, very simple chorus that you should know already from the earlier section.
Okay?
So thank you all so much for watching.
I'm not going to lie, I might be going on a hiatus with tutorials.
Going to start work full-time on Friday.
I'm going to be living in New York City, where I temporarily don't have a piano or a keyboard to make videos with.
So I'm home today.
I'm leaving in a couple [F] hours, and I just wanted to pump this out as soon as possible.
_ _ So, all for you guys.
So thank you so much for watching.
Subscribe, like, [E] comment, [F#] and hopefully, hopefully, crossing my [F] fingers, I will see you all very soon.
Peace!
