Step #2: Accompaniment Strategy
This song uses our Pop Rock Ballad groove, which shows up in a TON of songs. If you learn this one, you'll sound amazing on all your favorite pop ballads!
Practice tapping the rhythm on your lap and singing along before you put it on the piano.
Step #3: Solo section
To take an improvised solo, play the Root and 5th of the chord in the LH while the RH plays the C major pentatonic scale. It will sound very satisfying!
(I outline this strategy in deep detail in my online membership The Versatile Musician.)
Step #4: Put it all together
Remember that you can (and should!) customize this to fit your skill level. If the chord inversions are too challenging for you, then play them all root position. If you want to level it up, try altering the groove or adding some solo fills.
Try to avoid getting stuck in the little details! The goal is for you to learn to sing and play more songs - not drown in a pool of perfectionism. Have fun - it’s only music!
