_ _ _ _ _ All right guys, we're doing shape of my heart by steam _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] All right.
Hello everyone.
I'm [D] Shawn cheek.
Welcome to my easy piano lessons
_ the rest of this
_ _ _ _ Tutorial on this song the other parts videos to the lessons are on web piano teacher calm right now _
find on Facebook
_ _ Just do a or Twitter just do a Facebook or Twitter search for web piano teacher
_ This is a hard request someone hired me to do this song if you'd like to hire me to do a song just look me
up [G] on [Gm] Facebook
_ _ _ [C] The guitar part to this is pretty simple because there's there's no piano on this so it's guitar _ _
And I've _ transposed it up a [Gbm] half step to make it a little easier to play because the original
Key is F sharp [G] minor, which is a [Gb] really tough key to play in for a lot of people
[Gm] So I transposed it up one half step
I hope that's okay
if you if you're a [E] purist and you want to play an exact key either
[D] Transpose your keyboard down a half step by going to the transpose function on [Gm] your keyboard
You're just [F] hitting that minus one time to go down half a step or you [Eb] can just bring down every note half a step
[G] So instead of a G you do an F [Gb] sharp
instead of a [Am] B flat you do [Gbm] an A _
_ [E] _ But I think G [Gm] minor works _ _ a lot better here for [C] playing piano solo, so
_ _ That's what we're doing there.
_ Now.
What ideas I wrote out just the
_ _ _ _ guitar [Gm] notes I'm going to [N] in lesson _ two
_ Which will be on the website of course
I'm going to show you how to add a bunch of notes to it to make it sound really cool for piano solo
But first we're going to do just the guitar [Gm] parts
_ _ [Dm] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
Okay [N] the bare bones and then I'll in lesson two show you how to add some extra notes for piano
I'll make it sound really cool like the way I was doing it the first time
But let's do the just the the bare bones here first [Bb] B flat and the right hand above middle C down to D
Now that E flat in parenthesis is there because the second time we come around
We're going to do an E flat instead of a D, but this first time let's do D _ _
_ [D] and then let's do A, D, A
_ and [C] then G, C, G
_ _ _ And then G, C, F sharp _ now left [G] hand is going to be G
_ _ [F] F, _ _ [C] _ C, and then [D] D.
_ All right we put that together we [Gm] have
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ It's [D] syncopated but here it's not _ _ _ _ _ _
So that measure is not _ syncopated.
It's just straight one two three _ now.
That's a repeat sign
That's my repeat sign.
I put a just an arrow going back
_ This time we're going to do an E flat instead of an E so [Eb] we get _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now we're going to continue so [F] we went through it two times the second time [Eb] substituting E flat for D
And this time we're going to go _ _ _ _ _
_ _ So that's E flat first so E flat is first by itself and then we come in with the right [C] hand C, G, C
Ba, Ba, [Eb] and then B flat, G, _ C _ _ _ _ _
_ _ That's rhythm.
Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, Ba, and then we have
[C] _ _
_ You hear a little _
guitar go [D] doo-doo-doo
[Bb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ All right, so D, C, B flat
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _
All right, the D, C is not real [B] prominent.
[F] So if you want to if that's too hard just leave it out and play the B flat
_ [Bb] _ _ [D] _ _ _
Now you heard [Bb] me going
_ _ So that's something you can
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
Do there _ _ _ _ _
_ B flat you can [Fm] just play the F and B flat together
Go back to the C, [F] and then go back to B flat _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] _ after that
_ _ [F] Okay, so you get _ _ _
So F and B flat together [Fm] _ quickly go to the C.
Now figure that you can use your thumb
_ like that, _ but then go back to [Bb] B flat _ _ _ _ _ _
Okay, the guitar is doing a hammer and pull off
_ _ _ So what [F] gives us that?
Well actually you don't, _ I have it written right here.
So ba-dum-bum so
_ _ [Bb] _
_ _ all right, and [D] then D, _
_ A, F sharp, A.
So this is
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ Okay, _ _ _ _ _ now to do it as a [N] piano solo
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ There's actually a little more here we finish out the phrase in lesson two _ _
but
_ _ _ _ For piano solo what you can do a lot of times is start out simple and then [Gm] add notes as we go along
So maybe a good way to start it is kind of
_ _ _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Bb] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] And then
It's not [Am] the shape of [Gm] my heart
And then when you go back you can add a little more
[G] I'll give you a little hint on what we're going to do in lesson two
We'll be adding the octave and a fifth which is going to be G octave
_ Every left hand is going to have an octave and then we're going to do that fifth [D] in the middle
Here we [Eb] won't because that's not an E flat chord.
We'll do something [G] different there, but [Gm] you can add _
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ Well, it's not an [E] octave and a fifth every time because _ the name of the chord is not in the [G] bass
Whenever the name of the chords in the bass will do an octave and a fifth
we're adding that middle note in there with the octave for the left [Gm] hand and that gives it the
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
All right
_ _ So there's your part one to get you started free part one that I always [N] put on YouTube
_ Of course the rest of us on web piano feature calm and it will do be doing some improvising adding more notes to this to
Make it _ fuller
_ _ _ _ And I'm sure you some other ideas that I have with this song, but that's really neat
It's what kind of mysterious sounding very _ much like sting I think so
_ Hope you enjoy it and I'll see you on Facebook _ _ _ _ _ _ _
