Somewhere over the rainbow chords are fairly straight-forward to learn.
Most famously associated with the film The Wizard of Oz, ‘Over The Rainbow’ has also been played by many great jazz musicians over the years.
The tune follows an AABA form and the chord changes are quite repetitive making it an easy tune for beginners to learn and memorise.
We will start off with some very simple voicings and then add some bigger two handed chords.
Because the A section of the tune repeats itself 3 times, we will look at some interesting chord substitutions that can be used to liven up the tune and add variety to the performance.
This Somewhere over the rainbow piano lesson is designed for beginner jazz piano students.

This is an exemplary rendition. Most other accomplished pianists wildly run arpeggios and chords, forgetting the intent of the melody and distorting the harmony and tempo to the point the song becomes unrecognizable!
I agree!
Thank you for this. I play by ear, and my family thinks I can play anything because of it, but they really don't understand how limited I feel by not being able to read music or play comfortably in any key other than C (thankful for my keyboard that lets me transpose). This song has always been a challenge for me, so thanks so much for breaking it down. Cheers! -Ken
I'm barely an intermediate player, transitioning from playing root position chords, to open voicings. It is awkward for me, but you are certainly an inspiration. Thank You!
This video made me fall in love with jazz piano!! God bless you smart gentleman!!

Thank you so much. I love this and it's at a speed that I can grasp with listening, practice and time. I'm a 62 year old ear player and I find these beautiful arrangements very refreshing. It gives me something very beautiful to reach for. Thank you.
Nice, thank you man. Love your chill lessons and subtle and brilliant chord voicings.
Such a pleasure to listen to you give your class as you play the piano! Thank you!!!

Thanks for the video
Simple, yet quite effective. Thank you!
Yes I agree Eddie, I think sometimes the beauty is in the simplicity.... complicated chords and fills are not always necessary.... remember these songs were great tunes before us 'jazzers' got our hands on them :-) cheers, PianoGroove
So much useful stuff here. Tritones, 251, sus chords, Kenny Barron voicings. Brilliant video.
Very nice arrangement. Just the right level of difficulty and challenge. You explain it very well. Thanks so much. I've learned a lot from your excellent tutorials.

i dont understand why there are any dislikes on this video. This was an amazing tutorial, easy to follow, and I have been looking for a jazzed up version of this song forever. Thank you so much. I even added some little improv parts, and it sounds amazing. Again thank you. :)
Someone might not like the voicing. There are some parts I would play differently, so...

Like it a lot🎉
You really taught me how to play jazz piano! I was non knowledge of piano 5 years before
Very good!
This is so beautiful, can’t wait to play it in little cafes ❤
Have fun!
Lovely chords
am impressed
I love jazz with all my heart but am being affected with keyboard availability to practice...
I hope to play like you someday
thanks @pianogroove
Very good.
This is awesome!
Cheers dude.
Amazing👍
Excellent video
It's so good!
Thanks Alfredo, I'm really glad to hear you found it useful. Cheers, PianoGroove
EXCELENT MASTER...!!!
So beautiful and very well explained. Thanks so much for posting.
Thank you so much. Your videos help my ear get familiar with the sound of the extensions /upper structures. Yet, I would dare to suggest an alternative in bar 6 of the bridge. I like the idea of the tritones but, what you"re really doing, by using them, is replacing the A half-diminished with an A diminished 7, which is sort of giving away the D7 that comes next. What if we played Eb-A / G-C (tritone and P4th) on the A half-diminished and keep the Eb-A / F#-C (the all-tritone figure) for the D7?
As in many aspects of life, the less the more, exemplified in this sensitive arrangement that is accessible for noobs like me to begin learning. Thank you so much. I love it. So moving.
Is the mdi file available (to purchase) so that I can use Synthesia?
Love the lesson-couldnt download the chord subs. Not on facebook
You're awesome!
bravissimo e ottima spiegazione
Muto bene!
Hi, I love your job. Could you please one day create tutos for "All the things you are" and "In a sentimental mood" 😊?
maravilloso!!!
Thanks a lot! Your lessons are great! But I'd like to ask you a curiosity: what software do you use to show the piano keys pressed on real time (the upper keyboard)? Tks.
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Можно и нам побывать там!!! Только впусти эти волшебные звуки в душу. И всё произойдет. Такая волшебная гармония звука !!!
Eva Cassidy …..beautiful song!
Hi, this is so beautiful, thanks for sharing, are you still sharing the chords, the bitly link doesn't take you there, it would be awesome if I could get them. Thanks again
Thank you, you just got a subscriber
Do "Fly me to the moon" next!
Hi Kimp, we have actually covered that tune in a very detailed 2-part tutorial. You can watch the lesson highlights here: www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons/fly-me-to-the-moon-tutorial/ - It's part of the PianoGroove Pro course along with 50+ other jazz standards. Hope this helps :-) PianoGroove
Can you do a tutorial for Embraceable You?
Thanks!
Very helpful lesson! One question though.. Witten at the end of the bridge is a B9(sus4). I'm guessing that's supposed to be a Bb9(sus4) instead?
Beautifully done! Must try this arrangement. Thank you:)
Lovely tutorial, beautiful chords and voicing, Just a minor observation: I found it a bit confusing that right at the beginning you say it starts with an Eb maj7 chord while you play a plain Eb major chord, and then you say it is followed by a Cm 7 while you play a Cm ninth chord. Thankfully you go slowly enough to make it easy to follow any way, so it is just a minor note. Thanks for the tutorial!
Where do you get the lead sheet? I really like this instructional.
hello. very good work! thank you so much. A question about the song, I'm writing an arrangement to sing but I don't know what the "original" version is since Ella Fitzgerald's I think the lyrics she sings are longer and have more parts. That baffles me. Can you help me know which is the "correct" version? I'm sorry for my English. I write to you from Argentina. I loved your video and it helped me a lot to know what the correct chords were. a hug.
The amount of chords on the sheet is kinda daunting.... but it ain't gonna stop me!
Thanks for the teaching but i can’t find any link to download the piano piece so that i can practice the left hand. Can u help me? It sounds simple and easy for beginners.
It would be great if you could add the complete chords as played by both hands in the acompanying pdf file. For most beginners it would help a lot. Thank you.
Much nicer version than that from the Alfred’s book. Sounds much more poetic and smooth. Gorgeous (technically I don’t anything 😢).
I enjoy your tutorials sir but I would like to ask a question. If, due to hand size and shape, one cannot reach a chord from thumb to pinky like you have in some of the chords presented here, what should they do? Any suggestion would be appreciated. I am relatively new to playing and I find that this problem arises from time to time. Thanks in advance.
i don't follow yet, but i enjoyed the sound.
Please point out which finger/ hand is playing the melody? I am having trouble figuring this out? I thought it was always supposed to be the highest note or on top?
Great. How do I download the copyof the lead sheet with the chord substitutions?
Where can I find the lead sheet?
Can't find words to describe how beautiful and divine you make all this sound. I have always loved jazz but the way you play is so amazing that I have now come to love piano jazz. You have inspired me so much that I bought a digital piano and decided to learn playing piano! It's coming next week :) in fact I set a target to myself to play like you in a year from now (of course just the simple ones - I probably need 20 years to come close to your skills). Thank you for everything.
Do "what a wonderful world" please
YES FINALLY
I loooooove this arragement but can I have a normal piano sheet？
In the last chorus would be nice to play Am7/b5 Abm7 Gm9 F#13
Good
Not everyone knows major and.mimor chords.. best to Name 🙏 EACH. chord by letters ,! This would help beginners!
Final Arrangement
19:18
Really great stuff. I'm confused by the statement at 3:02, though. ii-V in F minor would be Gmi7b5-C7b9. You're playing a ii-bVII7, aka the backdoor dominant.
real cool...
really cool...how he walks you through it.......didnt know if it was a wedding or a funeral....sorry that was a bad joke!
