Yeah. Oh God. Oh God. That's a big one dude. Oh my God. Oh my God. That's a giant. Hot coffee in the sunrise, fish and freaks you already know. We are starting the day off right. We are just wrapping up a Guggen week down here on Choke Canyon Lake. Lake that me and Trey, my buddy Trey came down to last year and we did really well in March. It was a lot of fun. We thought we'd come down in February but you know we still caught fish this week but it has been super windy, really rough out on the lake and it was actually warm but we just got hit with a cold front. So I'm going to hang back an extra day and do a little dangling. We'll take you guys along for the ride. So we got the Guggen guys down here right now but we also got a few of our partners with Ketchco down here and I'm going to take out one of them today. His name is Matt. So hopefully there's still going to be some bass where we found them yesterday later in the day, bass moving up on beds. Yes, there could be bass on beds even during literally freezing conditions this morning, 30 degrees but we'll see. I don't know, it's really going to be a mystery. This is part of spring. It's like breaking down. What is the weather going to do by the hour and how these fish are affected around the full moon, the spawn and all that. So let's go see what we can gather up and give a few fish a sniff. She's a little dicey out here this morning. Yeah, it's just kind of that annoying 15 mile an hour. I like my one pounders with a little eight pounder on the side. He's probably two pounds. Yeah, look at that. About ready to pop. I'm just giving them the old crawl. So I love this green reaction rod, dude. I mean, I could just fling the bait so well with it and then yeah, you get one that eats it. Usually don't come off. Fun. Well just yesterday they were, that one looks spawned out. There'll be a few more on this little gut. Geez, this is an old phoenix. Oh, really? Yeah. Got a big one in the grass right on the edge. One of these times it's going to load up.  Decent. Just a beautiful fish. Yeah, see, it's good to stay when everyone goes sometimes. Yeah, there are just some large blobs, large blobs moving around. They want that spinnerbait smoke. It's been a big double Colorado's. The Thumper. No. First time in like 70 years someone's been attacked in Australia. There he is. Oh, that might be a good one. That's a little better. Yeah, man. That's my first catch ever on the old Thumper blades. Hell yeah. That ladies and gentlemen, they knew Zinger double Colorado's thumping doing that slow rolling and that's a taste of cake right there. Beautiful.  Hell yeah. I thought that spinnerbait might be a good deal because they're biting it so slow just kind of keep touching the top of that grass. Yeah, my God. Oh God, that's a big one, dude. Oh my God, that's a giant. Oh, what is this? Oh, it's a catfish. Oh my God. Dude, holy look at this thing. Dude, this thing knocked me snot off the spinnerbait. Holy s***. Dude, look at this freaking catfish, bro. I was like, that's a 10 pound bass. I don't want to lose this spinnerbait. He's probably mangled. I think you can get him. He might get goo on you. I've got a net, but you know what he'll do to a net? Just don't lose that spinnerbait. Don't let him get your fingers either. Got him? Don't hurt yourself. Holy cow. Look at that, baby. Spinnerbait retrieved. Look at the belly of that sucker. Holy cow. Dude, that's nuts. How much do you think that weighs? It's probably close to 10. I mean, goodness gracious. Big blue cat. He's broken at us. Not the 10 pounder we thought we were gonna catch, but still one. All right, that's a good sign up here eating shad. Absolutely. Insane. That's nuts. That's hilarious. Yeah, we're doing all right out here. Catching some fish. Holy cow, y'all. So I think that's fish number like eight or nine. Woke up this morning.  We'll go out and give it a shot. Might be terrible with this cold front, but we're actually getting some bites, but we're having to slow down and we're fishing bladebaits and I just picked up that spinnerbait and the key is just going slow, keeping the bait right above the grass, which, you know, in the pre-spawn, this works everywhere. It's not just where we're at. Anytime you have that grass or if you're on a rocky lake that's you're throwing crankbaits or something, slow down your retrieve and just keep it just touching that cover. There's some bait up in this grass, seeing the shad, we've seen individual fish and they're right where the grass is starting to taper off and kind of gets sparse and goes to like the silt and the mud and everything like that. And this cold front I think is probably going to push a lot of these fish out towards these outer grass lines where yesterday in the afternoons 80 degrees down here, the water's in the 60s and they were all going up towards the bank. Now we've got 55 degree water and a lot of these fish are starting to kind of move to the outside, it seems. So there's a fish right there, see it sitting on the outside of where this grass starts to taper down. You've got some bait, some different things that are kind of messing around up here on this grass, but I'm just trying to keep the bait right along the top of that grass, just keep it moving. Like in the spinnerbait dude, literally just got these, just broke them out of the package the other day and this is kind of something we were missing, a Colorado blade, big thumper which I like for wintertime fishing and early spring or muddy water. So keep giving her an angle, get hooked up on that green 10 pounder. Oh man, I just saw three move off this isolated grass patch. Giant, yep, it's a giant.  This is a tank, this might be over eight. This little travel rod's getting worked right now. Yep, yep, yep, this was the move. Look at that fish. Perfectly hooked in the nose baby, look at that, holy cow. Oh my god.  He's a giant. Damn. Look at that, there we go.  That is a, look at the tail. I'm very curious what this is going to look like. I know, I don't even know, I don't have my scale with me. You don't have a scale? No way, you don't have a scale? I don't know if it's over 10, but it's, it's up there dude. Oh my gosh. Oh crap, that's a magnum. Oh my gosh. Let's put that one in the well for a minute. That's a freaking tank. That's crazy. I wonder how much that one is. I know, I got, I left my scale in John's boat. Where? I left my scale in John's boat. Hey bud, are you still here? You're what, you're on the road? Okay, just gonna see if you got a scale because I got a big one. Yeah, I think it's, it's between eight and 10, maybe over 10, I don't know. It's big. Hey Kendra's calling me, let me, let me pick it up and see if he's got one. Hey man, yeah, are you out of town already?  I got a big one, like maybe over 10. Yeah, yeah, sure did. It's very, very large.  This fish might be over 10 pounds. I don't have a scale. I just called Matt, I called my buddy Trey. They're already out of town. They're gone. I'm going to say conservative, it's a nine. Conservatively, it's a nine pound bass. It's so thick in the tail.  I was not expecting that. I just, I cut my camera on as the fish loaded up and I can't tell you how many fish have lost doing that. I saw you do that, yeah. I cut the camera on as it loaded up and now I got the fish. So I got lucky that I landed it. But I just realized literally the rod I caught it on. One of the things we have on the green series is we have a measuring stick right here. It goes to 23. If it's over 23, it's a really large fish. In my experience, a 23 is like around eight pounds usually. Seven, eight pounds. 24 can be anywhere from eight to 12 or more. You know what I mean? So it's, from that point, it's really just girth. But we'll pull the fish out. We'll put it on, put it on the rod and see if we can get a kind of an estimated measurement. Big fish. So we want to make sure we're handling it good and we've got water in the live well.  Look at this fish.  Yeah, it's going over. It's going over. So I'm going to say it's 24. Oh yeah. It's a 24. And then around this fish is just super, super fat. So guys, I'm going to say it's a nine. I don't want to be that guy that just calls it a 10, but that fish is super fat. So it just might be. But we're going to put it back in the well for a second, get a few picks. We're going to let it go right here so this fish can make more babies this spring. Oh yeah.  You know, they get that extra weight, but absolutely beautiful fish. Let it go right here. All right, sweetheart.  Oh yeah. Whoo, baby. So guys, there's a little something in the works here. Working on a little something here for for our trailers and just as a other general use bait, but just trying these out. That was well, that's my biggest fish on it so far. But it's a nice, nice little trailer for the bladed jigs bait just all over this point area. Oh yeah. But it doesn't appear to have that good just as I say, it doesn't appear to have the better grass line hooked up. Come here. There we go. Solid one. Dude, that was perfect on the rod. You like the rod? Yes. That is perfect because it's like, I almost didn't know I had a fish, you know, like I felt it load up.  Yes, that little delay. That was perfect. That's what you want. Fishing a little hybrid glass composite rod right here. Been working on with old Matt and catch go. And this is yet to be officially named and all that, but I'm just going to say these blanks are better than us. Components are nice. These handles are sick. So you got two bites right in there. Another solid little fatty. All right guys, not sure what happened. I just caught a fish on time lapse mode. It's always fun. But I just picked up a swim jig. This is a, this is actually a good little combo we're talking about. Caught say five or six fish on this this week. Like when the grass is just so thick that I can't get that that blade bait or spinner bait really going through it good. And if it's just, you know, warm, I feel like they're going to get on top of the grass. I've just been picking up this little three eighths ounce grass hero. This is our swim jig and putting, I'd like to put a black and blue color swim jig with a white trailer. So this is just a white junior size cracking craw. And I know that seems weird, but it's something about that black and blue kind of blends in and subtle pops pretty good with that white trailer on the back. So you got the white back there doing all the action and like you can't even see that black and blue through the through the shadows right now. So it's a good little combo, man. I like that color combo. It seems weird, but give it a shot.  Try that early spring.  Thought he was loaded up nice with this rod. Yeah, man. God, that was felt amazing on this rod. Yeah. That's a nice one. See there partner. Yep. Just when that grass started kind of tapering, getting shallow again. There he was. There he is. Low retrieve. Just getting them solids. The solids here today. Yes. We're just on that consistent, just steady as she goes bite. See bud. Top tier boat snack right here. We've got Eddie Ray's Summer Sausage. This is actually from Stephanie's Deer. Pair that up with some Osnap Hottie bites. Nice compliments to the meal. A little cheddar in there too. Oh yeah. Wow. Thank you. Helping you know cheddar. I ate it when you popped it. I've been waiting on that. The number that is, we're going to get up in the 20s here pretty soon. Absolutely crush it. It seems like there's still a ton of males out on this outer. There might be some that are starting to move up right now with the air temperatures starting to get up a little bit. Maybe the sun might get excited. But I think the bigger ones are just going to be on that outer rim or any kind of deep spot. Like there's a gut. A little deep gut. Pretty fun times.  Ready to rock giants. Set ups for throwing blade baits and spinner baits. I like something at least seven foot for casting but out here fishing these long grass lines. It's really nice to have a longer rod. You just get a little more on your distance so you're covering more water. And then just to get them up out of the grass, it's pretty nice. This one in my hand is a 7'3 medium heavy moderate. And it's that glass composite. It's perfect. But yeah, 7'2 to 7'4, even 7'6 sometimes I like for just making those real long casts. Got 15 pound line on here. So it gives the bait a lot of action. Comes through the grass a little better.  You know, lighter the line, more action. But 15 is a good mix and that's just straight up fluorocarbon. There's a lot of bait just hanging out here. Just hanging. Need a shift. Where's one? Swim jig again. Good one's big. Just pick up the swim jig and catch a big one. Look at how it's large. It's a real big one. It's like eight pounder. Oh my god. Good grab, dude. Nice. That's awesome, dude. That one looks similar. Wait, dude. I mean, it's not much smaller.  Holy cow. Look at the belly on that thing.  Let's get it in the well for a minute. Not much different. Wow. My buddy landed that one perfect. I know it doesn't feel as heavy. It's not as heavy, but it's a big one. Big head. Gustavsky with another knuckle grab. Thank you for sacrificing your nightly. Can we see what you got here? We got some battle stars today from grabbing some big old Ratley bass. That's a man that's not afraid. And catfish, I guess, too. Yeah, that catfish chomped you too. So I appreciate it. I know that hurts, but happy to. Okay. Happy to. Absolute giant fish. This is not as big, but let's just see how long it is. The other one was like curled up in the live well. So we'll see how long this one is. I'm going to measure it on the on the stick. We're working on quite the bad here today.  It's just not not doesn't have as much girth going on, but still a huge fit. Well, that goes to 21 right there. That other rod. Yeah, it's probably let's see. I'm going to say it's maybe 23. Yeah, anything 23 inches. That's 21. Wow. So not quite as long, but definitely as fat. And I'm going to call out an eight pounder. Fair. Fair. I think that's pretty accurate. All right. Let's put it back in.  Love you.  It's adoptive. No, wouldn't be a catfish. Jumped. Oh gosh, it's digging. Oh, that baby's digging. It looks like it's twerking like a catfish, but watch that motor. Oh yeah, it's a big old cat. Come here. Don't do that old rolling thing. I got to return the favor for a buddy here. I'm just going to scoop him. Ah, I got you. Oh my gosh. I bet that thing crushed it. It crushed it. There he is. You want a picture? Okay. Want a filet? Yeah. See ya. Dinner. Yeah, Lee. We're toad. I just saw the boil in a jump. I heard a jump and I was like, that's going to be one of those on the point here. Heck of a morning dangle, y'all. We're making our first little idle of the day. Posts like dropping the troll motor. We're kind of looking at the map to see if we can find anything similar. It looks like we're running out of similar type areas called a shack. Oh gosh. So we're going to cruise through here and I think we're going to make a run across the lake and see if we can catch any more big ones like up in these little pockets. Seems to be the key, like secondary points up in these pockets and then those big fish are at the deepest part up in the pocket. Boil right there. Big boil. Could have been one just knocking a shad off the nest or something. There's another gator going up in there. I'm slinging. Okay, they do exist. Good chunk. Still here. Nice tasty one. Shatter bait in the wood. Ah, I was like, what is going on here? It's got to be a bite to have you had somewhere. Hey, Piggy, you're within bow range. Do you just not care? I could flip a jig on this pig right now. Sounds weird. Hey, Piggy, hey, Piggy, you've what in the world? This pig does not care. Pig pig. Pig pig.  And that's what the big gators like to eat out here. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to take it back to the ramp, maybe get a celebratory margarita or two and enjoy fishing with them. It's a lot of fun. We had some new stuff to test. Some nice little goodies that are going to be, what do you think we're going to be delivering some of these? We got so many new things on here. It kind of depends. A lot, a lot starting basically June for a lot of this stuff through the next 18 months. Yeah. So we got some exciting stuff coming on that front and I had fished with you for a long time. It's been a long time. It was good. And all the Gugans left and all the other buddies we had here, they left. And we were like, Hey, man, you just want to go give it a dangle? And this was the best day. We turned out to have the best day. I don't know if it was the cold front or if we just found a good steady little grass like where they were or anything. We're going to fish tomorrow morning and see if it was a cold front thing or what. But man, it was good. It was awesome too, because I mean, the stuff that we really wanted to test specifically those rods, it was the perfect bite to test. Yeah, it was. Perfect bite to test. Thick grass trying to get them up and just throwing those lures in specific. So it was a good day at the office, you know, mark this one off as a product testing, fish catching and just having a good old time. So hope you guys enjoyed it. Learn something along the way. Smash the like button for big fish. And we'll catch you on the next one.


Hi everyone, this is Jason here from Nathaniel. In this lesson, we are going to look at five great piano written songs which are by five incredible female singer songwriters and we are going to look at the riff or the chord progressions which are going to be great. We are also going to look at the pattern or the rhythm pattern if you will and the way the two hands are going to interact with each other and we will try and do this at varying skill levels So even if you're a beginner or if you've played these songs before you may have forgotten a few intricate details Which these singer songwriters do on the piano which is quite incredible really because they are doing some amazing piano work While singing while entertaining the crowd perfectly well So let's get cracking right away with Alicia Keys is falling. It's on two chords E minor and B minor More specifically B minor 7th. So that's E minor G B E and the B minor 7th will either be played as A D F sharp in the right hand or F sharp A D in the right hand. Okay. E minor always G B E The B minor 7th is going to be played as A D F sharp for the first instance and F sharp A D for the second instance Now if you play the song like this Doesn't really sound like falling right you need that really nice iconic Alicia Keys Apeggio pattern. So let's get right to that So you have the voiced chord, which is G B E and we've arpeggiated as Okay, so if I have to look at this from the piano perspective if this is my left note middle note and the right note or the high note it goes L M H H M L Okay Or G B E E B G. So the first chord Is supported in the left hand with a nice E bass Okay, and the second chord is B minor 7th, right, which is You play B in the bass and you play A D F sharp in the right hand now you may be wondering why don't I have any B in the Right hand because it's B minor 7th. Well, the B is played in the left and you don't need to repeat the B here Which is why she goes A D F sharp F sharp D A Another way to remember this could be a D major chord in the right hand with a B in the left hand Okay, so E minor B minor 7th back to E minor 7th or just E minor and then B minor 7th played in a different way you want to play it with the F sharp in the bass F sharp a D First time was a D F sharp now. It's F sharp a D. Okay, so Then B minor 7th E minor Different version of B minor 7th Goes on for pretty much the whole song, right and a good way to play it with feel Is to build the dynamics you could first think of a nice hill curve and go up and down the hill in other words Get gradually louder and gradually softer over time It could also depend on your vocalist Or your own vocals Okay, let's now get to the chorus Where you take the same chords But you voice them differently and you play them with a more busier or harder hitting rhythm So if you take the E minor 7th chord, she goes B D G plays it a bit higher Okay, and the way I am playing the pattern is left First and then the right plays the remaining hit points of the six by eight This is a six by eight song one two three four five six, right? Even the arpeggio was Pretty much that One two three four five six, right? So the core is also gonna be six, but without arpeggiation with just chord strikes So you go left right right right right right left right right right right right right that's adding up to six, right? So I keep on falling Let me break that down B D G E minor E minor 7th E D F sharp in the right hand to play B minor 7th you go And then it ends with a very exciting chord which is That right, so it's a D D sharp G so this is at the very very end of the phrase, right? where the Way that I Right, so it creates that real Kind of tension or excitement at the end and it's also played in a staccato If you want to call this chord something it's like a B 7th with a sharp 9 and a Sharp 5 it's a very very interesting card. So it's the last chord of the chorus I keep on falling So what Alicia Keys does with the B-minor is very interesting she plays something like this She just plays the top B and then comes back down. So it would be Sometimes she also goes She basically plays each inversion of the B-minor chord starting from the top B and then going even sometimes to the high D So at the end of the song what Alicia Keys does in some of the live versions Which I've managed to catch up with will be she plays the E minor 7th And then instead of playing a normal B-minor 7th she plays a Sort of diminished sounding chord So we actually call this a B 7 flat 9 because there's a B in the bass and Then like a diminished 7th chord in the right hand in this case We have a diminished 7th in the right hand a C E flat F sharp Right, so this creates some excitement in the bridge Back in and out Okay, and way that I love you will have to be a D E flat G Simple chords E minor B minor, but the way she plays it is obviously very unique unique arpeggio pattern Definitely chord voicings are very exciting. So it's a song you definitely need to learn moving on to the next song Right, so now let's look at Taylor Swift's cardigan a new song which was released recently from the album folklore So basically you have the chords which are F minor. Let's learn the chords first. So this is how she plays the chords F minors played a C F A flat the next chord is B flat major Which he plays as D F B flat. These are all what we call is inversions. So C F A flat and then B flat major which is D F B flat A flat major she plays as C E flat A flat Okay, and then the next chord or the last chord in the sequence is again B flat major Which is a repeat of what you learned earlier D F B flat. So I'm singing the right hand, which we're gonna get into very shortly F minor B flat major A flat B flat major Okay, and what I'm proposing you do is because you don't have a base note of each of these chords, right? So you could develop a nice technique where you go to So holding down the sustain pedal Hold it down go up to the chord, which I showed you C F A flat So the first hit is gonna be the root of each of these four chords. So for F minor F chord chord chord B flat chord chord A flat major B flat again It's also important to note that this song is on a swing time feel so you count One e and a two e and a three you could say 16th notes swing if you count it as Dubba Dubba Dubba Dubba 3e and Okay, so let's do that If you'd like you can even do Like a really deep F you get two of these octaves if you want Because there are a lot of layers in these songs Which you could replicate With octaves in the bass B flat, okay, remember you need the Pell Okay coming to the right hand which I'm sure you can actually get by here we go Okay So the first part F minor So It lands this F will land exactly at the one beat of the bar 3e and a 4e and a 1e and a 2e Okay, and she starts each of these melodic phrases in the right hand with her thumb playing C Pretty much see for every single chord Okay, so the first two melodic phrases are pretty much the same F minor next B flat major same For a flat she adds an extra note Only in the third chord, but start with C with the top G Then Same way of playing B flat how you played earlier F minor B flat major A flat B flat, okay Vintage deep brand new foam High heels on Cobblestones when you are young they assume you know nothing Right, so it's interesting to play this and sing it'll be quite a job actually So it's quite incredible that all these songs which I've chosen The artists are actually singing and playing this on the piano. Of course. They've written the song It's a read all these songs. I think have really cool chord progressions as well But the that the reason why I chose these five songs and why I think they are great is is the fact that you have a Melody line which is complementing the piano so well It's like they are almost talking to each other in the sense, right? Whenever Taylor Swift plays this melody The vocals come after the melody so it's like this is speaking and then the vocals are singing, right? So it's very it's very good songwriting as well But that also makes for a little bit of a tricky practice when you're doing this on the piano Okay, so the other sections of the song are pretty much around the same lines You just need to learn the other available chords When it goes to the chorus Gets very positive right it goes to the root or the tonic of the scale which in this case is E flat major B flat and then it repeats It's only that first chord E flat to have that positivity at the chorus or to just give the song a lift So this is Taylor Swift's cardigan. I hope you're gonna have fun playing this song and singing along. Let's move on So let's learn love song by Sara Bareilles first of all a really good chord progression Which I'll show you and then we'll do the rhythm pattern Okay, both of which make the song very very iconic very catchy very Remembrable and unique and all those other words. So you go G minor first chord. She plays it as G B flat D in the right hand and G bass so how it's going to work is every pair of two chords is going to be played three beats and then one beat Okay, so the first chord is G minor Okay, that's three counts of G minor one two three Four what happens at the four? You're doing the next chord and the reason why the next chord lasts for only one beat or one count is because it's a Passing chord. That's because the notes of the chord are there to lead up to the next landing chord which sounds more stable So you do three beats of G minor One beat of F major with an A bass so that makes it already a very Passing F if you will or a very sliding or a Interpretation sounding F. So we call it f slash a it's known as a slash chord And this seems to have the ability to take us to the next chord B flat which she plays it in a very unique way. She plays it as B flat C So it's not a full B flat major. It's B flat sus two. Let's do those three G minor F major with an A bass climbing to B flat sus two Remember how it works three plus one so one chord will be played for three beats. The other one will be played for one beat So G minor three F with a base played for one B flat sus two. Let's move on Normal C major but inverted she goes G C E in the right hand with a C base and then Sliding or shifting all the way up to D minor, which is a climb actually. So so far we have G minor F major FAC with a base B flat sus two C major played as G C E in the right hand and then that goes to D minor for three beats C over E base that clear creates a slash kind of effect Which is for one beat so D minor three counts C over E one count and then results to the tonic F three beats D over F sharp because it has to come back and loop back To G minor, which it does perfectly well So the artist is using basically a concept called secondary dominance Which is to take chords which are out of the scale and then bring them back to a chord Which is inside the scale in this case one might argue that the scale is F major So you'll have one chord which is not part of the scale or a secondary dominant or even a slash chord And then that comes or pulls back to a chord which is F major which is in the F major scale So if I break down the chords again remember three counts for one chord one count for the other chord, okay? G minor F over a B flat sus two C major with C in the base G C in the right hand D minor C over E F major come all the way D over F sharp and back to G minor the slash chord secondary dominance And you actually feel like the the bass or the chord progression is actually climbing which it is if you sing the bass notes It'll go G a B flat C D E F F sharp G So the way Sarah Bareilles plays her chords the chord progression is Incredible, but now what's going to make it even more awesome is the way she plays the rhythm pattern on the piano Okay, so I'll play you and then I'm going to teach you very very careful I'm going to play it and then I'm going to share it with you step by step. Okay So as you can see The right hand is just thumping away one two three four It's very pulse like following the pulse or the head movement of the listener while while the song's playing The left hand however is following a very syncopated or very interesting groove where she plays G a Before the onset of the right-hands chord F over a so in other words that's played Where are we playing it? It's played at one and two and three and four and Right just before the four remember. I told you in the right hand. It's three beats for one chord One beat for the next chord and then three one three one in the left hand It's one two three and four and one and two and four and one two and three and four and one and two and And four and one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and one Right and also she's playing this with a ton of dynamics All the slash chords or rather all the passing bass chords You know with a different bass are played legato to kind of make the journey a bit more squeezing if you will While the downbeat or the one of the bar is played staccato to create that excitement. I guess Right Long shot Long shot Long shot Long shot There's a lot to practice actually this could be like a awesome piano exercise on its own, right? So you go short long shot Long shot and all those notes are different notes. They are climbing pump a B flat C D E F F F sharp G a B flat three Remember the left hand is played at the offbeat every alternate time so offbeat every alternate and Staccato going to legato every alternate. Wow, that's a lot to think of come to think of it, right? So the right hand just plays pumping quarter notes so let's break the right hand left hand once more and Yeah, you pretty much follow this for the rest of the song as well I have the chords attached do download a copy for yourself. So you go G minor F B flat sus to C major D minor C F D over F sharp G F and so on. Let's just show the right hand Without me talking too much Okay, do that again One more time Okay with the left a B flat Right and what she does also to top it off at the very last chord right F for some reason She plays a tritone of G C sharp which then comes back to G But it's played so short and crisp that you don't feel it you just feel a tension You're like, where did that come from? Well, it came Because of a very very weird interval called the tritone which is used to add that excitement in this piece, right? So this is love song by Sara Bareilles. Let's now move on and have fun playing it I didn't come Let's now learn don't know why by Nora Jones an incredible song and again an incredible chord progression Actually, it started off as a guitar composition as some of you may know So we are just going to bring in the flavor of everything Not necessarily zeroing in on the piano part because that might be quite difficult Even for me because Nora Jones is improvising a lot in this song So let me just play you the whole thing try to sing it then show you how to voice it Then let's look at a couple of rhythm patterns which you would play and accompany yourself or someone else who sings, okay? Okay, so that goes So it's basically a descending walking line, right? So When we voice those chords which are a lot of chords eight chords to voice We need to get the voice leading to kind of be very well-planned so that it goes Okay, so we go first chord B flat major 7th where she plays B flat D A at the top so B flat major 7th dropping to the B flat dominant 7th, so you go B flat and Then B flat with a flat at the top, okay That would have made it B flat major 7th B flat dominant 7th now we don't really have that f So this is a very sort of sparse voicing where the chords don't really clash She's not choosing to play all the notes just a few, you know Important notes which are the third and the seventh if you keep that in mind the third and the seventh of a Jazzy chord will always have that color and that impact and the root is generally played by maybe the bass player The fifth may be played by no one. So you go B flat D A B flat D A flat and then This is how I'm voicing E flat major 7th, which is the third chord one five E flat B flat D G E flat B flat D G Okay, that's how E flat major 7th is voiced very colorful very grand very open. Okay, so so far we have B flat major 7th and what she tends to do is or what even the guitar player tends to do is Goes back to the normal root major 7th root dominant 7th Stay there or Can go back to the root so right or Works also fine Do I saw the sun So that one line has all these chords so B flat major 7 B flat dominant 7th and then E flat major 7th voice this way Okay D A C F sharp this is how I'm playing it. I think it Leads well Okay, what are the four chords again? B flat major 7th B flat dominant 7th E flat major 7th D dominant 7th. Okay, that goes over that first line okay slower okay and now don't know why I didn't come that'll go G minor 7th don't know why I didn't how does that work G B flat F G B flat F that's how we are playing the don't know why part don't know why C dominant 7th played as C G B flat E C G B flat E so don't know why I didn't it's a beautiful chord this is F7 sus 4 so I guess it's voiced as I'm hearing it F in the bass obviously sus 4 note which is B flat and the dominant 7th or 7 flat which is E flat on top so don't know why I didn't come and it ends with just a normal traditional B flat major finally right everything else was like very very jazzy so again don't know why I didn't come don't know why I didn't come it repeats a few times right at the end especially so whole thing again again okay and if we have to make it rhythmically exciting you can do very much like the guitar hook which is anyway being played okay so you could either tell yourself okay should the right hand do a little bit of movement or should the left hand do some movement so if your right hand's doing some movement the left hand could just hold its ground hold it just hold the roots or else the left hand could tell itself okay I'm gonna do some things so what's the left hand doing it's basically fifths and the root of course B flat fifth B flat fifth E flat it's fifth D fifth G fifth C fifth F and then back to B flat so you could get the left hand to go C okay that's sort of lovely bass motion right very much like a traditional bass line you can even explore the right hand notes in a more arpeggiated manner or in a more melodic manner depending on your vocals whether you're trying to sing and play this which will again probably be a little bit more on the tricky side you can even play this song by just holding the chords okay and just to kind of finish it off because I'm very tempted there's another part and it's really easy it goes what do we have there that's the second part my heart is drenched in wine right what do we do there G minor seventh which we learned earlier there's a beautiful C seventh voicing where she goes C B flat you can call this a C 7 13 maybe adding that 13th note so she's even singing the 13 and then a piano lick whatever you want to play on F is dominant seventh okay and then ending so you get that F E flat D C and back to so let's now move on to the last song which is going to be the most peppy or dancy of them all let's move on so let's now learn walking on broken glass by Annie Lenox one of my favorite artists and songwriters and songs of all time so how it works basically is you have the melody line you have a string or a synth hook so I'm going to teach you both right so this is just to kind of embellish the song and to give it a stamp apart from the hook which she sings which is walking on walking on broken glass right that's obviously catchy but then what the piano is doing and what the synths and the strings are doing are also awesome so I'm going to just tell you the hook in the beginning and then also this part which can actually do as an accompaniment with the vocal singing that singing the piece right so first off the piano intro goes something like this or rather this is how I voiced it for the right hand which could also allow your left hand to do its thing so I'll play it and then show you right very interesting use of octaves it's it just goes there comes back sometimes the octave gets really high sometimes it comes back low so the way I'm playing it which works for me could be C G E so you do C G E and the two E's you play together on the piano C G E and then F A F the F comes together and then you play two more notes together E C E C G in the middle end with two D's okay that way you get a feel of the song with just one hand let's try this again C G E together F A F together E C together G single D together let's do that again one more slower C G E F A F E C G D so that's your intro which you could do with the chords once you learn them more commonly you could just play the chords in your right hand and you could play the bass notes of those chords in the left hand I'll play you the chord pattern as well and then let's break it down as you can see lot of these notes are at the off beats right so if I count this with ands or eighth notes it's going to be one and two and three and four and one and two and three and four and very few are even on the one two three fours they're all one and two and three and four and pretty much everything's on that offbeat phrase so let's break that down first chord at the one G C E with a C bass then you climb up you climb the bass up to E you play the right hand C E G G C E C E G C F A with the F bass so far we have G C E C E G C F A back to C E G with E bass let's do so much okay one and two and three and four and one and two very victorious for some reason okay get that G C E you see the different versions of C major which she uses right so G C E C E G C F A C E G let's move on then go back to F C E G with E bass repeat that then end with a dominant chord which is G major that pulls it back to the tonic how am I playing G major D G B so again it's quite a workout actually for the mind because if you're singing it you'll have to sing something which is sort of against this so these are the two catchy parts of walking on broken glass you also have the chordal elements right I've actually put the chords out for all the songs in this entire lesson series so do go through them in this video I've tried to give you the most important parts of the song we've not gotten to the theory as such of these songs but I hope this was helpful to give you at least the most important or the surviving parts of the song and hopefully I've also conveyed how these songs are awesome from the point of view of the theory the chord usage very unique chord progressions also the piano playing the rhythm phrasing the arrangement in general right some incredible songwriters all these five artists are and you should definitely follow them again this is Jason here from Nathaniel do subscribe to our YouTube channel if you haven't already share the video share other videos leave us a comment with stuff you'd like to learn we'd be happy to do it and consider it for sure and I will catch you in the next one cheers
