Step #2: Oh Darling Chording Strategy
These are the chord inversions I chose for Oh Darling. You can absolutely use the chord inversions you like best!
Step #3: Oh Darling Accompaniment Strategy
Oh Darling is in 12/8 time or you could think of it as 4/4 time with a triplet grid underneath it. This is the same pattern as in the songs Never Tear Us Apart by INXS, Please Come Home For Christmas by the Eagles and Can't Help Falling in Love by Elvis Presley.
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 change up what you play over the course of the entire song to keep things interesting and support the vision you have for the song.
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!
