 Hi guys, so let's learn Mercy by Sean Mendez. The songs on D major, so that means you'll have these respective available chords. D major, G major and A major will be all your available major chords. Also written it down in the chord chart which you can have a look. So D major is the 1 major, G major is the 4 major and A major is the 5 major. And then you'll have the 3 minors which is E minor, F sharp minor, 3 minor and B minor. And of course the rarely used C sharp diminished which you may not want to use in a pop song. The chord progressions for the intro, the verse and the chorus are identical. It's the exact same chords and I'm also going to show you the voicing and the inversions for it. It's very important to notice to play the chords rather deep in the keyboard if you're playing it on the keyboard. And also later on in the song we observe a 3 3 2 rhythmic feel which I'll try to talk about. A lot of the pop songs these days seem to have that feel. So let's go through that as well. So the intro of the song what you do is you just hold these chords E minor, G major, B minor, A major. Pretty much just hold it and E minor I'm playing as E, G, B as I've written there. G major I'm playing as D, G, B. B minor is F sharp, B, D. A major is E, A, C sharp. That's pretty much how it is in the track. So it allows this entire higher region for the vocalist and the other orchestration the synths to take over. So you have E minor, G major, B minor. This pretty much works for the entire song. So one way to first practice is to hold these chords. The other option is to try and bring out that 3 3 2 feel where you can go 1 2 3 1 2 3 3. So what I'm doing here is I'm playing the E minor chord three times rather I'm playing every chord three times but I'm playing the remaining two hits rather softer. So you go E minor, E minor, E minor so that's 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 I'm also adding some notes in the left hand. So essentially you always play the root of the chord in the left hand that's E minor, G major, B minor with B, A major with A and you could double up the root with the octave here but this octave you could play it as a different rhythm. So I'm doing ta ta ta ta ta that's left right, left right and the left comes with the thumb octave. Keep the pinky sustained in the left hand. And so on. Whenever the song breaks down usually at the intro or the verse section you don't have to play the groove just hold it like that for four counts. It's quite a nice sound. 4 2 3 4 There's a bridge which happens once in the song which I've mapped out here. You have G, B minor, D and A okay. B minor, D major, A major, G major, na na na na na, D major and then you build up and there's a nice chord here where you play G major in the right hand and an E bass in the left hand. So that's G in the right hand and E bass in the left hand. So for two times you do G, B minor, D, A for another two times you do G with E bass, B minor, D and A. So let's see how it sounds and keep the same 3 3 2 time feel going 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 and so on. And now G with E bass. Build up, get a bit louder. We have a stop and back to the chords. That's pretty much the song. So there's intro, verse, chorus, same chords E minor, G, B minor, A. Then there's a bridge which we've written down and try to observe the 3 3 2 feel and the song has a lot of dynamics. So when it gets heavy with the drums and the tom drums, try to play it a bit heavier. So I've given you like a simpler pattern where you just hold the chord 2 3 4 1, try 3 4 1 2 3 and then I've given you a busier pattern where you observe the 3 3 2 feel, rhythm feel. 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 3 and so on. The 3 3 2 feel is a very popular rhythmic feel in music. We've done another lesson on it on YouTube. So we'll try and put that out in our description. So do check the description and watch that video as well. So it's a good insight into playing a lot of the modern pop songs which have this 3 3 2 accented phrasing going on which is sort of becoming a very viral trend these days. So I hope you found that tutorial useful and if you like the video, do subscribe to our channel, share it with all of your musician friends. Cheers.
