 Hi guys, so let's learn K.C. Paheli's in the Ghani and basically the scale is Bb major. So it has two flats, let's go through the scale that will help us starting off, it's always good to get the foundation right. So you have the two flats are Bb and Eb okay and the chords are basically going to be chords of the Bb major scale. Since it's on the major a lot of the sections actually all the sections will start on the Bb major chord and then of course there are a few minors to spice things up. So the chords are Bb major which is the 1, Eb major which is the 4 and F major which is the 5 and then the minors which is the 2 minor, the 3 minor and the 6 minor right. 2 minor is C minor, the 3 minor is D minor and the 6 minor is G minor. Now not all of these chords are going to be used in this song obviously right, it will be chaos otherwise which is why a neat chord progression has been developed over the track okay. So the underlying rhythmic feel of this song is swing okay. So if this is your pulse and if you're counting 8th notes you'd be going 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and right swing feel will make it 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. So the entire song even though this is the pulse you need to move that 8th note a bit it's not ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta that would sound really funny right. So it should be ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. So another way to count swing would be to feel it as a triplet 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 and knock off the 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta. So a lot of blues songs, swing songs and jazz songs have this sort of a vibe. In fact even the song which this was inspired from obviously has the same vibe right. You can search for it on YouTube if you want. Anyway another important thing about the feel or the rhythmic aspect of the song is when you're counting you don't need to count all the beats 1, 2, 3, 4, 1. You can basically focus on the 2 and the 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 or you can snap 2, 3, 4. So if you are a singer or a bass player or anyone try to first hum your part or hum the tune. And so on, always snap at the 2 and 4 that will really get you into the song. That's also what your audience is anyway is going to do in the first place right. So sometimes we tend to count all those 4 counts 1, 2, 3 and 4 which is we are not going to feel the swing. So that's about the rhythm. So the entire song is going to be on that ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta swing feel. Now let's just see how it works on the piano and by looking at the way I'm playing it on the piano I'm sure you can figure it out on your instrument of choice as well. If you play bass you can follow my left hand or if you play guitar I'm sure this will also help you. So let's look at the introduction first on the piano. And the introduction chords are B flat, G minor, C minor, F. So that's essentially a 1, 6, 2, 5 progression a very very popular jazz progression. In fact this is influenced greatly by a jazz song okay by Louis Armstrong. Anyway so the good rhythm pattern to play on the piano or the guitar or anything would be what I'm doing on the keyboard is left, right, left, right. It's basically like you're marching with your hands right and this is your intro. If you're starting off you can play like this. If you are able to play a little bit if you are at an intermediate stage perhaps you can add this technique. So I'm adding an additional B flat to give you to push you to feel that swing, right. It's also nice to sing it as you play you'll get the timing better. Anyway a few points about the intro chords the C minor you can play as a C minor 7th. You can add the 7th to make it more jazzy. So pump, pa-bum, pa-bum definitely makes it very jazzy and then he ends with an F augmented chord. So you could also play F major there but what happens with an augmented chord you take the 5th and you raise it or you sharpen it so C becomes C sharp it creates a very very interesting mystical kind of sound, right. So let's see how it goes. You can even play that bang it a little harder and so on. So this same rhythm pretty much with a small modification can be used for both the verse as well as the chorus. So let me just show you how this works for the verse and then we'll do it with the singer, okay. So the verse the chords are basically B flat. So let's see what pattern I am doing, B flat, pa-bum, pa-bum, pa-bum very different from the intro because the chords changed a bit faster at the intro. So you go, pa-bum, pa-bum, pa-bum it's all the bass it's not really my right hand. My right hand is going to do the same thing throughout and the right hand could definitely even work on the guitar and the left hand could definitely work on the bass guitar. It's the same principle the root of the chord then the root again and then the 5th. So F is not played above B flat it's played below B flat here, right, pa-bum, pa-bum, pa-bum back to B flat. So think of the chords for verse and chorus as two B flats, two C minor 7s, two Fs and by the way F is more of a dominant 7th sound, right, again makes it very very jazzy which is F major normal with that flat 7th you see there, this would have been the normal 7th you flatten the 7th to E flat, okay. So the chords for both verse and the chorus are B flat double C minor double F 7th double and B flat and the chorus there's also a nice top which I've marked with this X here. You'll see it as we played along. So I'll first do it with Indu a bit slower and then we'll perhaps do it at the normal speed okay. So try to follow and it's always a good practice to if you're a guitarist or a keyboard player or any instrument player try to do it with the singing in mind that is very very important don't isolate your part otherwise there'll always be that additional burden of going to the band room and again getting stuck with the singer one the singer will add a different thing all together. So it's good if you are with the melody the chords remember are there to support and to serve the melody. So that's your job if you're playing the chords okay. And there's a nice groove to go along with it. So let's do the verse whenever you're ready let's C minor back to B flat one more time little slower right and it's pretty much the same for the chorus let's try the chorus I guess you call that the chorus but anyway let's do let's try it. So the chorus you have to wait for the singer right. So when you come in at the fourth la I guess yeah we'll do it I think you'll figure it out from there yeah same chords C minor F B flat you need to stop at that part so at the very end of the chorus you stop so that's pretty much all the vocal parts the lyrics change the music is going to be pretty much identical. There's a nice instrumental section which is played by the horn players and then there's a saxophone playing pretty much the same notes as the verse. So let me just quickly show that off to you guys however if you're happy not playing that it's also cool you can let someone else play the melody. But anyway here's the melody of the instrumental part I've written it down I'm just going to sing it and play it for you guys okay so let's go. Okay let's break that down so that's B flat three and this goes against the B flat major chords you can play the other notes as well. Lower C 2 3 4 so this is like a trill on A that's with E flat major and the F and in your left hand you basically play the roots and a nice pattern in the left hand could just be root octave root octave 4 1 2 3 4 and then the saxophone pretty much plays the same melody as the singer that needs no introduction at all I have anyways written down the notes 2 3 so I have fun playing this song and I'll see you in the next video cheers.
