张学友- 吻别

This song was originally sung by Hong Kong’s Jacky Cheung, and the meaning of the title in Chinese is “Kiss Goodbye”.

The video should be quite easy to follow. However, I would like to say here again, that, if anyone is keen to have the chord progressions written out for him/her, please write to me.

龚柯允 — 邻居

There are 4 parts or 4 different chord patterns/progressions in this song: verse, pre-chorus, chorus, and ending. In my video demo, I did not play the introduction, which is actually just the same pattern as the pre-chorus. So, for those of you who want to know how to play the intro, just follow the pre-chorus pattern.

And basically… that’s it!

Enjoy…

You probably have noticed that I have not listed out the chord progressions that much for the songs I posted lately. The main reason is that these songs are quite popular and have been around for a while. Therefore the chord progressions, the music scores, etc. should be easily available elsewhere. What I intend to do instead here is to show those who find it difficult to follow those music scores and chord charts. The playing on the videos has been simplified to such an extent that anyone should be able to follow quite easily. However, if anyone is interested in the chord progression, please let me know.

This is another popular church song that has been around for a while. Here is how one can play it simply with 3 fingers: 1 on the left hand, and 2 on the right hand. And you need only to play 2 different “chords” on the right hand. Please see the video…

These are the “cheat” chords I played in the video…
C - Am7 - F - F/G (2x)
F - F/G - C - C/E - F - F/G - Am7
C/E - F - F/G - C - F - G4 - C

童话 - 光良

This song is originally in the key of F#, and it goes up to G# then A# when it approaches the end. Anyway, for simplicity’s sake, my demo here is done in the key of G.

Again, the way I used my fingers is purely for the sake of making the notes that I press easier to see on the video. You don’t have to follow that.
I won’t go into the explanation of the chord progressions. However, if anyone is keen to know the progressions, please do let me know.

Here’s the video…

26 SEP 2008

I am adding a version 2 of the video here as a response to a reader’s request for a “full-chord” version.

Note that I used my first 3 fingers on my right hand to play the chords. This is not the best way to play chords. I chose to do so in order that viewers can see the notes I pressed. Please use the fingers you find most comfortable for your own playing.

I have also divided the song into 3 parts or 3 different progressions so that it’s easier for one to learn, picking up a part at a time.

Here’s the new version…

These are the “cheat” chords I played…

Part 1: G - Em7 - C - C/D
Part 2: Bm7 - Em7 - C - C/D
Part 3: G - D/F# - Em7 - Em7/D - C - C/D - G - F/G - C - D/C - Bm7 - Em7 - Am7 - c/D - G
