 Hi guys, so let's now learn the popular Bollywood song Hawaii and in this song There are quite a few sections unlike a Western song right in a Western song you will have a verse chorus Maybe a bridge and that's pretty much it the verse will repeat verse 2 will just have different words and so on however in a lot of Indian film songs Whether it's Bollywood or music from the south or any any Indian film music what you will find is The verse will not only have different words But the tune will also change and thus the entire chord sequence will change the rhythm pattern may also change so a lot to learn In the in the songwriting structure of a like a Bollywood song is The fact that nothing is going to repeat much except the chorus So that's what's going to repeat throughout and that's like your hook. That's what makes the song very Catchy and that's what you remember the song by probably after leaving the movie theater So let's just break break break down all the sections First of all, there's an intro which the guitarist plays actually there's no piano in this song from what I could hear piano is used only in those You know really mellow songs in general, but you can play piano and quite a few of these songs So in the intro it goes something like this That's so basically this whole songs on the key of D major Two sharps right F sharp and C sharp. So you go So you do D and G chord in the left hand G D major G major E major again And then that's pretty much it. That's the intro. Let me try and play it Back up to speed. You can also add these notes to color it up more That's F sharp for the first half E for the second part because it's part of the G major chord, isn't it? so coming to the worst section of the song the Most of the sections of the song are very cordial. So if you're doing the verse It's just going to be as written, you know on the chart on on your right hand side of the video It'll basically be D An occasional E minor and what's very important to point out here is when you see the D and the E minor chords They are both played together Within four counts. So if you're doing the verse, it'll be one D major Four G major then five A major And back to one and then you go D major again So let's just go through the verse and I have Navin here who's our in-house amazing singer, so let's try and do the verse together Navin whenever you're ready Verse section and there are three verses in the song, right? So verse one you play this chord structure verse three also you play this chord structure However in verse two, it's slightly different. So we'll do verse two shortly Let's now move to the chorus. Okay, which is a very very catchy part of the song And what's even catchier is it goes to a kind of a chanting section which So it's it's a song where you can remember two things actually as we're going to show you The chorus as well as that chanting part after which is oh And so on so and they put both these parts together so they do the chorus Which has lyrics and then it goes to that chanting o part which obviously doesn't have lyrics, okay? So let's first do the chorus With Navin and then I'll break down the chords after we do it once So let's break that down So it starts with it's basically G D G D G D G D like that's literally as you can see your G D G D G D G D so you just play that in a succession and when you end the chorus you're playing E minor A major and then ending on D major. So I'll just try to hum it Very poorly. So try to ignore my singing Four times D major G major That D D major again So, whenever you end the chorus you play E minor A major Let's do it one more time now It goes to that all part, so it's quite a a 145 rooted song, isn't it? By 145 what I mean the one of the scale which is G major then the four of the scale which is C major right and the five of the scale which is D major. So a lot of the catchier songs you hear whether it's I mean any language pretty much will always generally have this 145 even if you take knocking on heaven's door by guns and roses it has pretty much the same chords or La Bamba or any such song right. So let's now move into the verse two section and the verse two section is quite interesting because the chords are different the melody is also slightly different right. So let me first play it with the singing and then we'll try and break it down together. Chorus right. So let's break down verse two. There's an interesting chord which I pointed out here which is a major seventh chord. So major seventh chord will have a normal major but in addition to that you add the major seventh interval. So from the D major chord the major seventh is C sharp right. It's the seventh note in the D major scale. So just to make that D major sound a little bit more interesting they add a major seventh as well. Okay. So at that point you do that's a D major seventh going to G that's an E minor and that repeats into two okay and then it goes into the chorus. So let me just do it once more and call out the chords with the singing. One two go. And so on and a lot of the times in the song this it'll it'll just break at the last chord and so on and then it builds up that anticipation to the chorus right. And also D major seventh I'm not playing like this. That makes the seventh stick out too much. So so try to play it in this style D major, D major seventh. I'm just moving the root to the seventh which is right here. Okay. So that pretty much covers this entire song. The one thing I'd like you to consider adding to make the song a little bit more colorful as it actually is in the original. Now in the original song there's a lot of other elements. There's orchestration, there's synths, there's guitars, there's bass, there's a lot of harmonic elements. For you to make it a little bit more colorful on the piano what I would advise you to try and do if you can is to add some chord extensions. So if you're doing the chorus it's just a simple G going to D. So what you could do to make it more interesting is every time you see a major chord try and add a major seventh like I taught you for the D. So it adds a very interesting flavor. So that's your D major seventh adds to the vibe of the song and probably makes it a little bit more romantic. Right Navin possibly. Yeah. So the major seventh chord adds that sort of vibe and also when you take the minor chord what is that? You have E minor. Even the E minor you can add the minor seventh. So if you want to form a minor seventh you take any minor chord you know and touch the minor seventh which is nothing but a flat seven. Okay. So if you want to color up the chorus so that's the major seven if you want to color it up more you can add this A and a trick which I usually do is instead of playing one note with your thumb your thumb is always this really cool finger which can just stretch out and you can play two notes. Right. So instead of the major seventh you can add this ninth to add to the vibe of the song. The same thing you can do for D make it a D major seventh or you can add the ninth. So the ninth is nothing but the second from the root of the chord. So if you take D its second is E. There or if you want you can add a minor seventh and then okay let me try and do the chorus just to conclude with Navin singing and try to add some extensions and some color. Okay. Yeah. A cool song and have fun playing it have fun jamming it with your friends. If you can sing better than me I'm sure you'll have a blast singing and playing it with the piano or the guitar. I definitely can't so that's why I rely on people like Navin to sing with me. Right. Cheers and see you in the next video.
