 guys so let's learn new rules by Dua Lipa this is Jason here from Nathaniel so basically the entire song is pretty much on C major rather a minor which is its relative minor so a minor borrows the chords from the main parent scale which is C major so let's first look at all the available chords on the piano at wherever and then you can use that to play the song which is going to be a chord progression from the C major scale right so C major has the one chord C major the four chord F major the five chord G major and then of course the minors the two minor the three minor which is E minor again two minors D minor three minors E minor and the six minor is A minor and then you also have a B diminished which is rarely used so in the song as you can see here the song they use A minor G major F major F major and G major so it's essentially A minor G major and F major throughout the song and there's yeah you basically play A minor 2 3 4 way minor 3 4 so that's a minor 4 times that's a minor right so these are the chords if you would just hit them a minor G F G and just note here that it's a minor 4 times a minor 3 times G major ones and then F major 4 times major 3 times G A minor so when I say 3 times or 4 times it basically means 1 bar of music 1 bar or 4 beats per bar right so you have 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 so the G major is like a passing chord it just happens for like one beat of the song okay so if you were to play this on the piano it may sound good but it may not sound as groovy so in the original there's a nice pattern which is developed I guess it's a very electronic marimba like pattern sort of the sound you'll hear in maybe songs like shape of you but the pattern is quite unique so let's apart from the chords which I just told you also try to learn the rhythm pattern which is there pretty much for the entire hook okay so that's played I would say you could play that in your left hand so I've written this down the first a minor chord is played as E A C so that's E A C and then the G major chord is played as G B D the F major chord is played as F A C traditionally right and then the last G major chord is played as G B D sorry D G B I'm telling you in the order and the rhythm is quite unique okay so the first let's look at it bar bar by bar so this is the first bar E A C E A C and E A C let's see how it goes one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and so basically the E of the one and the E of the three and the on of the one so it's one E and a two E and a three and a four E and a one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and so this is line one rather bar one and then it goes to bar two one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and so it's pretty much the same the A minor starts it off one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and a and so there's this single note G played higher so it's like one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and let's do that again and so let's do line one and line two bar one bar two together 1 E and 2 E and a three and a four E and one E and a two E and a three E and a four E and a little faster and and then goes to the next bar so let's try to study the next bar which is F A C C, that's your F major. So what's common in the first beat is always the occurrence of the I and the E of the I, right? So you have I, E, and I, II, E, and I. So here you have an additional single note F, which I am playing here with my pinky finger on the piano. So you have I, E, and II, E, and III, and IV, okay? And then another common occurrence is a chord at the I of the III. So I'm doing I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and II, and so E and the I of the IV play D and the G. Let's do line three again. I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and I repeat I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and I. I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and. So these are single notes, I, D, I, G. This is low F. I, E, and II, E, and III, E, and IV, E, and I, I, I, II, E, and III, E, and I. On speed. And line four or bar four is pretty much the same as this is just that, well This is common. One E, and II, Eva, II, and III, and IV, E, and so you have that I and I sorry, III, and I of the IV I, and II, and III, and IV, E, and I one E and II, E, and III, and IV, E, and that's repeat that Time E and II, E, and III And IV, E, and let's do line 3 and line 4 and then it the whole thing loop so right so that's how the unique pattern is played so it's a combination of chords and single hits another thing you could do perhaps at the chorus where you don't have to play this hook this hook is pretty much there in the verse and also a little bit of it in the pre-chorus so once you come to the chorus you could start playing the chords in the right hand and I've developed a pattern which works for me in the song you could even use this throughout the song if you want so what you need to do is now in another pattern what I taught you earlier was the hook of the song that's the main thing which is there in the tune you can also play the pulse 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 1 2 and then in the right hand you could play the chords but target the 1 E and 2 E and 3 E and 4 E just basically the on of the 1 the E of the 1 and the E of the 3 let's see how that sounds with one chord A minor and what you could also do is 1 E and 2 E and 4 E and you could also hit it at the end and just to add some spice you could add the root of the chord and the octave of the chord a little slower right so you have that pattern and then of course during the verse you could pretty much play with one hand so it's a nice sort of drill to practice 16th note hits which is a very very tricky thing usually on the piano as you're getting forward on the instrument right so hope you guys have fun playing this lesson there is another lesson which we've done which will help you count 16th notes better that's a lesson by which I've done on a popular arm and song so do check that out the link is in the description and after going through that hopefully you can also play the Dua Lipa song a lot better right hope you guys found the tutorial useful cheers and see you in the next one
