This song is in the key of Bb. The video should be relatively easy to follow.

Again, in case you are new to this blog, I need to stress that my videos are for those who want to pick up piano quickly, and sing along when they play, the karaoke style. And that I have been showing 2 fingers only (especially for the latter videos) with my right hand so that one can see and follow the notes that I play easily.

These are the “cheat” chords I played…
Part 1: Bb - Bb/A - Gm7 - Gm7/F - EbM7 - EbM7/F - Bb
Part 2a: EbM7 - Gm7 - C - Eb - F
Part 2b: Ebm7 - Gm7 - Ab - F

安靜了

I have divided the songs into Part 1 and Part 2, where Part 2 is the chorus; and further subdivided Part 1 into 3 different parts: 1a, 1b and 1c. This is so that each part is not too long to learn at a time.

You should notice that there are distinct patterns in the bass notes, especially for Part 1a, 1c and Part 2. Being able to identify patterns in the bass notes would make memorizing the playing easier.

I did not play the intro and ending in the video, but if you are interested, I believe the chords for the intro and ending (which happen to be the same) are in this order: C –> F –> Am –> F.

The song is in the key of C.

These are the “cheat” chords I played…

Part 1a: C - Am - FM7 - Fm6
Part 1b: C - Bb - A4 - A/C# - Dm7 - Fm6 - E4 - E/G#
Part 1c: Am - Am/G - FM7 - C/E - Dm7 - F/G
Part 2: C - G/B - Am7 - G - F - G/F - Em7 - Am7 - Dm7 - F/G (- G - C)

As most classic songs are, there are many different ways one can play them, and many different versions are available out there. Anyway, here is my version, and I choose to play it in the key of F.

温柔 — 五月天

This is another song requested by a reader. It’s in the key of G. The early part of Part 1 and Part 2 are actually the same. The video should be quite easy to follow.

The key to playing this song as an accompaniment well is to get the beat / rhythm right.

Have fun.
