Piano cover of The Cave by Mumford And Sons! Click more for Tutorial:



Intro: 0:00 -- 0:42

Right hand --

G# F# E B C# E C# E B
G# F# E B C# E C# E B
G# F# E B C# E C# E B E D# F# E

Repeat x 3 (I play slight variations each time e.g. adding the higher octave note on the third time through)

Left hand --

C# Chord (C# G# C#) Played as a broken chord
E Chord (E B E) Again, played as a broken chord
G# Chord
E Chord
G# Chord
E Chord
B Chord (B F# B)
E Chord
F# Chord (F# C# F#) Played together like at 0.13
E Chord -- Played together


Chorus: 0:42 -- 1:05

Right hand --

The rhythm is quite easy if you watch the video, notes are:
0:42-0:54 B G# A A G# E, B G# A A G#, A A G# F# E lowB E D#
0:54-1:05 C# G# A A G# E, C# G# A A G#, A A G# F# E lowB E D# (the same but with C#s instead of B at the beginning).

Left hand --

E
A (A E A)
E
A
E
B (B F# B)
C# (C# G# C#)


Verse Part 1: 1:05 -- 1:17

Right hand --

C# C# E G# E x 2 (Watch the video to see the rhythm)
B B E G# E x 2 (Same rhythm as previous)

Left Hand --

C# Chord (Played as Block Chords with the Right hand)
E Chord (Same as previous)

Note: Near the end of this section, at around 1:13 I play a slightly different D# D# E G# E in the right hand with B F# B in the left hand for one time.


Verse Part 2: 1:17 -- 1:30

Right hand -- Same as the intro

Left hand -- C# and E Chords in block chords, this part can be played more quietly



Verse Part 3: 1:30 -- 1:45

Same as Verse Part 1



Chorus 1:45 -- 2:10


Verse Part 2 2:10 -- 2:25


Chorus 2:25 -- End

On the last part, there is a slight variation on the right hand. It is relatively simple, if you just watch the video, you should be able to see what notes I play and learn it yourself! :)


Hope this helps!

Awesome cover! I would love to play piano by ear, I always play & sing with sheet music. How did you learned that, by yourself? :) thanks!

@freshaliciousx Hi! When learning by ear, I normally just listen to the song on my ipod and try to play along with the left hand to work out the chords. From there, you can work out what key it's in and then learn the right hand melody to it :) If you're struggling to work out chords, I'd recommend looking at the guitar chords for it (ultimate guitar is generally a good place to look) and go from there! Ultimately, the more you play, the easier it gets :) Thanks for listening!

I'm new to piano, and I'm having trouble keeping up with your right hand in the chorus. What is the right hand playing @ 0:42 - 0:54?

[Mattyd951]

@LoveConquersAllFears Hi, an easy way to play that part is to just play the high notes, so it goes: B G# A A G# E, B G# A A G#, A A G# F# E lowB E D#. That's 0:42 - 0:54

then 0:54-1:04 is the same, but playing C# instead of B at the start of the bar. Hope this helps!

Beautifully done! The piano is my favorite instrument and you play it masterfully.

[IHeartDPryde]
