How to Play My Heart Will Go on - Part 1

Hi and welcome to another one of my easy to play lessons. Today I am going to show you how to play a very simplistic way of playing “My Heart Will Go On” from Titanic and we are going to do it in the key of C and I am just going to teach you the important parts in the song. Obviously there is some other filling the spots that you can add on your own but this will just be the basics on how to play a song so that people will know what you are doing. Okay I am just going to go through the first part first and then we will break it down slowly for you, okay? [Demonstration] Okay then it starts back over again. Okay, in a lot of our other videos where we have used our key of C, remember we can use our C note and then take in every second note from that using our Brad spread we call it. And in this video, we are going to learn a new way of playing a chord only because in most of Titanic music, instead of using chord, we are going to be using single notes, okay. We are still going to be using them in the same manner as the C chord but there will be individual notes in some cases, okay? And for instance, the C chord that we are going to start off with is actually going to be a C and then going up to this G then up to your top C, okay? And once you have learned how to that, we are also going to do the same thing with a G so there is going to be a G note here and left is D and G on the top, so that is the bottom and the top are the same and then you got this D in the middle, okay? Same spread that we had up here, okay we have got it down here and then we are going to move one more down to the F. These are F here, our C and our F. Okay and I will show you how that fits in here okay? That is the C. There is the G. That is the F. Back up to the G and then back up to the C again. Okay, so not so much strings there. Okay so that is the part that we are going to use with our left hand. With our right hand, we will start off with this C note right here okay? And coming along with yourself so you know how it goes. [Demonstration] That is the first line. The second one goes. [Demonstration] Okay so let us go through it with our left hand and our right hand together okay? We are going to start off with our—I will call out the chord, the C. I will call out the chord but it is C. You are going to be this way okay, okay? So we start off with a C, down to your G, down to your F, and up to a G, back to the C again, back to your G, and your F and then we are just going to use our left hand here. That is a G and then back to your C again, okay? So let us go through that one more time here okay starting off with a C chord. [Demonstration] G, F and back to a G, C again, G, F, back to a G and what I like to do is here we go. [Demonstration] Okay, so you get your G there and then you start back over to where you started again, okay? Okay, so because it goes through twice in the song. Okay let us do it twice through and I will show you that little run in the middle of it there. You do it nice and slowly here okay starting off with your C down to your G, your F, G, back to the C, G, F and then we are going to do that G with a run. [Demonstration] Then right back to the start again. [Demonstration] G. G again. [Demonstration] C, G. Okay that is the first part of the song.
