    Hallelujah 1st verse/chorus lyrics with chords:
    INTRO: C Am C Am
    VERSE:
    C Am
    I’ve heard there was a secret chord
    C Am
    That David played and it pleased the Lord
    F G C G
    But you don’t really care for music do you?
    C F G
    It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
    Am F
    The minor fall, the major lift
    G Em Am
    The baffled King composing Hallelujah
    CHORUS:
    F Am
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    F C G C G
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    VERSE AND CHORUS REPEATS 4 MORE TIMES

    As a competent guitar & fiddle player I have a good understanding of music and harmony. I am now teaching myself piano and this is a wonderful piece of music to work with. Working both hands together to create music is both inspiring and motivating. It is important to find songs or pieces of music that speak to you when learning. Full credit to Bitesize Piano for a wonderful and really useful lesson. Also the other bonus, is I feel totally inspired to once again delve back into my Rufus Wainwright cd's for other gems to learn.

    You are truly an awesome instructor little lady !! If I had had a teacher like you back in my childhood years when I took piano lessons, (ages 9-12), (as opposed to a woman who hit my fingers hard with a ruler each time I made a mistake) I would most likely have continued.....I hope you will take this compliment as a "nudge to continue what you are awesome at !! Thank you again !!

    Happens to be my favorite version. Not because its necessarily the best- thats always debatable. I guess just because of the time, place, & company where i first heard this version, i guess im sentimental like that. - you do the best (i mean my favorite lol) versions of songs.

    Great tutorial, found it a bit more doable at the beginning by instead of breaking up the chords by notes to just play them as full chords to get the cadence

    Hi Fransesca, thanks for the video. I have been playing piano for 6 months now. Repeating is key to succes, but is it true that the longer you play the less you hve to repeat and the faster it gets to get a piece together?

    • @BitesizePiano
      @BitesizePiano  Před 4 lety +3

      Hey!
      That's absolutely true, the longer you've been playing, your memory improves, pattern recognition improves (which is why learning scales and chords is important), your coordination improves as well as finger/hand strength.
      Repeat repeat repeat is key! But slowly and correctly each time.

  • @MrTylerNicole1
    @MrTylerNicole1 Před 3 lety

    I personally think you should change the E minor chord to an E major chord. That way, the G sharp is leading toward the A in half a tone. I kinda don’t like using the natural minor scale if the harmonic minor scale sounds better. I’ve heard someone play the E chord with a G sharp instead of a G natural and I thought it sounded better because the resolution to the relative minor sounds stronger with the raised seventh instead of the natural seventh.

      It completely depends what you’re playing. I’ve made videos as a guide of which fingers to use czcams.com/video/5cJcLkCBrKU/video.htmlsi=LrGYIPfXDkqaUZ5q

      The beauty of videos, is that you can pause, rewatch and slow it down.
      One pace isn’t going to suit every single person. I also receive comments saying I go too slow and explain too much 😂
      Remember it’s free, so it isn’t going to be a bespoke video for you.
