Today’s tutorial would be End of the Road by Boyz II Men. I will break it down to three sections and I will play to each section. So the first section, I will play it right with the speed and this is the first section. So it sounds pretty much, you know, you should understand it. So I will play it.
And I am going to the bridge after that. So I am basically going to start on this section because it repeats probably 95% of the song of the same chords so I lay down this section, you will know the rest of the section, no problem. So here we go—B, E5, G and then it all come in up to a G-sharp. Go to the G-sharp actually four times so you can just keep this E-flat going. So B, E, G, B, E, G-sharp since it is going up. That is B-flat, D and up, B, C, E-flat and that is just basically an inverted C-minor chord, part of the C7. Next is an A-flat minor, A, C, E-flat, G-minor, G, B-flat, D, F-minor, F, A, C, A-flat, C-flat, E5, back to base flat major and then back up to the B-flat, E-flat, G or E-flat minor. So again, you can roll that C-minor chord. So that at that A-flat minor it goes at a hinge shift, will bring you either to the bridge or the chords or the verse again so it is a kind of a good important transition chord.
You are going to wonder about the left hand. Left hand follows exactly the route of the right hand, so no worries there. You play B flat and works up for the first note. Well actually the E-flat is a group of—must have to tighten the chord. E here, first chord and then first note in the left hand, B, now I will leave this up to you on how you want it to sound. You can play B-flat here or D. You can play both. You do that with this. It is up to you and then, you play a C and the inverted C minor chord, A-flat here to the left follow the suit, G down here, F-minor down here in the left and then back to the E-flat note to follow right, so at regular speed. You can switch back between either one.
To add the melodic line from the melodic section, you can rotate the three in a five. What I did there is a little trick. I am just playing basically the three in a five or the two upper notes as I was saying. Basically, I was walking up to the chords, walking down the chords actually.
Think of it downward or think of the escalator going down and basically that is how it is going.
Again, play along the song, separate your hands first and then you can have the base board. The base is pretty simple, so now we will get to the bridge or I can explain those melodic sections a little bit more actually.
So basically that is pretty much hit for the verse section. It is going to be the same. So again, the melodic section, you can add in to yourself so you can play it two ways basically or you can play the root chords aside from all of that, we will sound nicely to playing the piano or you can play the melodic section. I will be ward off a little tension. Part two is coming up next. Thank you.
