 Hi guys, Jason here from Nathaniel and let's learn IC Fire by Ed Sheeran. The song is basically on a B flat minor key. So just remember that. Some people try to simplify it by playing it on the B minor key. So the B minor is a derivative of D major. So they are pretty, they are the same scale, just a different feel. And the B flat minor would be a derivative of D flat major or C sharp major. So basically to get a minor scale, you form the scale built out of the sixth of the major scale. So I have written down the chords of actually both scales in the chord chart. I am however going to teach you on the original scale, which is B flat minor. So if you find that to be challenging, if you're not able to voice those chords easily on whichever instrument you're playing, then perhaps you can go to B minor. So I've written down the chords on B minor. So in the original, it's on B flat minor, let's go through the same. So it starts with a drone where you don't have to really do much. You can just play like a B flat. You can also play like a fifth chord, you know, while he's singing. And just play that. What I'm also doing is I'm holding my pedal. So it's allowing me to just play freely all over the piano. You can even layer the piano with some pad or some strings just to make it very droney. Okay. And then you have the tune played on the guitar in the first intro. And then in the bridge, it's played on the violins. So there's a slight difference. So I've just modified the tune for piano. And then we can take it from there. So this is how the tune will go. The chords are B flat minor, F sharp major, A flat major, and back to B flat minor. I repeat. So if you have your guitar friend or some other musician playing this tune, perhaps you can just stick with the chords and they sound really nice together. You could also play the melody yourself. Let's see how that works. Okay, a little slower. So just to get that first. Then, okay, and then we stay just play the chords after that. So F sharp, A flat, B flat minor again. F sharp, A flat. And there's a part in the middle of the song where the violins and the string, the ensemble plays something very similar, but they go something like so they just hold the chords there. And now the tune. So at the A flat and the B flat minor, they do the tune. So that's something you could try out maybe in the bridge. So let's show that again. While at the intro, or if you want, you can combine both together and play it. Or you can just use them interchangeably in the song. Like quite like that. Using both sometimes as well. Okay, so that's your intro and bridge. Actually not bridge. It's more the thing. There's another bridge, which is a vocal bridge. This is more the instrumental or the interlude. So let's now just do the verse, which is there almost three times, I think three or four times in the song. And then we'll do the chorus together. So again, it starts on B flat minor. Lot of the sections start on B flat minor. And I think try out this hold of the chord. And generally when playing a black note chord or a chord starting on a black note, you want to probably start with your thumb. It'll make it a little easier on your fingers and curve the thumb out a little more. Okay. And the left hand can just do the duty of playing the name of the chord or the root of the chord. Let's see how this sounds. Every alternate chord, I'm actually playing it at the offbeat. I'm not doing it's a little bit traditional, basically every chord twice. This will work more for pop songs and songs which have a very consistent groove. In this case, he goes pretty much the whole song. The first chord is at the onbeat one and two and three and four. And so always play the second chord at the end of the two or between two and three. Let me count it out for you just taking the first two chords. B flat minor and D flat major. And two and three and four. Repeat one and two and three and four and let me finish line one. B flat, D flat, A flat, F sharp and it repeats. Okay. So the only change in the verse is the last chord of line two where instead of playing the traditional F sharp, we play an E flat minor seventh. So let's see how that sounds. B flat minor, D flat major, A flat major and we go to E flat minor seventh. So this is how I'm voicing it. Okay. So try to remember that voicing or you can go like this if you wish, but I would prefer this voicing. It's like playing an F sharp here and an E flat here. That gives you the same effect. So let's look at the first three lines of the verse. Remember the offbeat at every alternate chord. Four and A flat, four and B flat, D flat, A flat, E flat minor seventh. And in the first time, I think he goes back and does the whole verse once more. So you'll have to probably hear the song and get the structure from there. Okay. So whenever he says and the flames there, that will be the last line or verse one. That's E flat minor, F minor, F sharp major and you hold F sharp major for another two counts. Into two twice. So that's obviously the coolest part of the song. However, the chords are very similar to the intro where you did right. So the I C five chorus pretty much has the same chords. So if we do it with chords, you can play it strong, maybe two hits here for every chord and here one hit. So I C five and no inside the room, I see fire. That's three times. So you can end with an E flat major, but instead of playing the major, you can play E flat, A flat, B flat, this voicing, which makes it more of a suspended chord. So last bar of the chorus, I see five A flat or you can just play a fifth chord. I advise you not to play a full E flat major, maybe just a fifth. So that's just the last line of the chorus in the hope that you remember me. That's only the singer and then goes back to the other parts. Another thing you could try on the keyboard is to also play the bass line, which goes C flat and then it's just chord roots. I've written that down here. You can either go high F sharp or low F sharp. Let's see how that sounds. B flat minor, B flat minor, F sharp, A flat, B flat minor, F sharp, B flat and then pump pump pump pump. And then it goes to the bridge, which happens only once in the song. That's E flat, B flat minor. That's into three. E flat, B flat minor, D flat, A flat, and E flat, B flat, minor, D flat, A flat. The last line of the bridge you do, this line. So the bridge takes you back to the chorus. Let's look at the bridge again. At B flat minor, B flat, A flat, and then E flat with F. F bass, F sharp, A, just make a note of the D flat with F bass. Let's play D flat major chord in the right hand and a different bass, which is F in the left hand. Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na Bacchorus I see fire Turn turn turn C fire right those are the sections of this amazing song I See Fire by Ed G dating right so all the best playing it and as always have fun cheers
