Thank you, Aimee!
hi there..you did a great job!
can you pls. help me because i don’t what ‘E2 - F#4 - B/D# - E2 (x2)” and other chords mean/…tnx:)
Hi ElizaNneth, you can read up more about 2’s and 4’s on “Suspension” posts. You can find these posts under the “Cheat Theories” category.
Hope these help! Cheers!
Basically, the “2″ means the 2nd note, i.e., instead of a usual E chord in which you play E,G# and B notes; for an E2, you play E,F# and B notes instead. Note that F# is the 2nd note in the E major scale.
Similarly for F#4, instead of play F#-A#-C# notes as you would usually do for an F# chord; you play F#-B-C# instead, where B is the 4th note in the F# major scale.
The B/D# means playing B chord with the right hand while playing D bass note with the left hand.
“(x2)” simply means repeating, i.e., playing the same progression twice.
This was a way better way to learn A Thousand Miles than any other tutorial I’ve EVER seen! It was so simple, and fun! Can you PLEASE put up a page for Fairytale by Sara Bareilles? Thank You!
Thanks for your feedback, Annie! I’ve added your request to the queue, but hope you don’t mind the waiting. It will be quite a while because the queue is very long!
Can you do Nina - Someday , please? It was covered by Jessica SNSD and I reaaaaally looking forward for it’s easier way to play because the original one is quite difficult for me .-.v thank you
