Welcome to another one of my easy to play lessons and today I am going to show you how to play Michael Buble’s song called Home. A beautiful song and easy enough to play, you should be playing this within about half an hour at the most I think so. And as well as the patterns that repeat to the song so, as long we get those patterns down it makes it very simply to learn. I am going to do the opening of the song for you first and then I will teach you how to play it okay.
[Demo]
Okay, so recognize that, the pattern that we are going to follow in this song is a G, find your G here, just go to the notes, which will show you the pattern okay. So we are going to a G, down to this G flat, down to an E, down one more to a D, again to a C, to a D and then back up to G again. Okay, so just go over that and we will do both finger as the same time if you want.
So G, G flat, E, D, C, D and then back up to F. So, in the opening of the song you can do the left hand with just one finger and we will do the most of our chording in the right hand this time. So we are going to start off again, knowing your G chord. So actually we will do the G this way with the three notes here if you want. That is the same G as that one, but this is a D note, we are going to play it down here instead of up there.
What I have done there is—so we get that sort of an action with it. And move down to your G flat with your left hand here and we are going to play a D chord up here. And down to an E here and we are going to play an E minor with our right hand. Okay, let us just go back to the start and do those three chords, and first you are starting with a G, down here to the D, and your G flat with your left hand, okay. And then down to an E minor, use these three notes here for the E minor, you can use that but this one will sound better.
[Demo]
And then we are going to go down to our D, again that one, same as the D but we are going to play this note down here instead. Because we are progressing down the scale, down one more to a C, play your C chord with your right hand and C note here with your left. Then, back up to a D and then back up to your G again. Let us just go through that again we have got from our head, that is a G, down to a D chord, an E minor, a D, a G, back up to the D and then back up to the G chord.
So, this is how we will play that and gives it a little bit of beat going. Once you have learned the progression of the chords there, so it will go. That is just the turning of the opening of the song there. And then as we get into this section, we are going to take the chords that we just learned with our right hand and we are going to throw them over to our left hand and say incase your turn to playing this time. So let us go through them again, starting off with a G, there is a D, E minor, down to a D, a C, back up to a D and all way back up to the G where we started.
So that is the pattern we are going to use here, let us go through it one more time. It is important to learn this section okay, here is your G, D, E minor, D, C, D and back up to G. You just practice with the left hand to get these chords down so it would make it easier to learn with the right hand to put it with it, okay. So just go through this, start off slowly and then work your way up. It is not easy to do, start with the fingering. That is the basics for this song. So practice that part. So, now we are going to try to put a bit of a melody line with it. We got our chords down with our left hand so it is going to start off with “Another summer day has come and gone away.”
[Demo]
E minor, down to your D, and it goes, then it goes back into that section again. Okay let us do it again here.
[Demo]
Okay so one more time. Starting with G chord, and then do that part twice.
