And the first thing you might think is… What the heck is 12/8 time?!! Practice this intro until you know if like the back of your hand. They repeat over and over (and over), so it’s really important that you get VERY comfortable with them. These chords are the backbone of the entire song. It works really nicely leading into that D sus chord, where you substitute the 3rd note of the chord (F#) for the 4th (G) before resolving back to a D major. ![]() That G/D just means you play a G chord with a D note as the bottom note. There is also a slash chord to deal with. But the notes are all the normal ones you would expect to see. One thing to notice here is how the notes of the chords are spread between the left and right hands. That’s because it uses 4 chords, and those chords are the very well-known 1-5-4-6 chords, but in a 6-4-1-5 order. This piece might “sound” like a classical composition, but when you look at the structure and chords it’s actually much closer to a pop-progression. ![]() And if you’ve been following along with our lessons for a while, you’ll recognize the order. But try it, get inspired and then practice so you can learn the rest □Īt its heart, it’s actually a very simple piece of music, using only 4 chords. But I would encourage you to play what you can. Not everyone will be able to play all of thisĪnd that’s ok.
