Learn the Caribbean inspired hook of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You on the Piano and then play the Vocal melody in the Right Hand with the same tresillo groove in the Left Hand. 📚 Notation of each exercise & my handwritten notes are waiting for you on our Patreon (5$) - https://www.patreon.com/posts/shape-of-you-on-116111541 Go from the original pattern to an advanced workout for pianists with our detailed tutorial and enjoy the process along the way. Dive into the theory and train your ears to identify the hit points. Then, push the boundaries of your practice with techniques like adding pulse in the Left Hand, toggling the pulse with a bass line, incorporating “ghost notes,” and finally mastering the vocal melody of each section. The Left Hand takes on the responsibility of playing the hook, adding depth and complexity to your performance. 👉🏼🏡Visit our Channel for more Tutorials & Performances - https://geni.us/NathanielYouTube 🔀 How to Reharmonize in 10 ways - https://youtu.be/3zeuHwey2To 🙌🏼 Hand Independence Exercises (Playlist) - https://geni.us/HandIndependencePl 🎹 Play Great Songs on Piano - https://geni.us/PlayGreatSongs 🚌 Coke Studio Tutorials & Covers - https://geni.us/CokeStudioTutorials 🎓 Learn Music With Nathaniel School of Music & Jason Zac: https://www.nathanielschool.com/ 📇 Courses, Workshops, Videos, or Private lessons: https://forms.gle/fsbhFKSgJbZ5xZEr8 🎼 Register for our virtual workshops & lessons: https://geni.us/UpcomingClasses 📹 Our Video Courses (Lifetime Bundle): https://www.nathanielschool.com/members-videos 🎶 Learn all about our flagship course, "Music Method": https://www.nathanielschool.com/musicmethod 📚 All our YouTube lessons (1000+) categorised by skill level, topic & genre all in one place: https://www.nathanielschool.com/freelessons 🐣 All our Beginner Piano Lessons in one Place: https://www.nathanielschool.com/free-lessons/tags/beginner-1 🕰️ 00:00 - Performance 00:14 - Shape of You - Ed Sheeran 00:58 - Inspired from Class 01:56 - The Original Hook 02:34 - The Essential Theory - Scale & Chords 03:52 - The Tresillo Rhythm - Soca Clave 05:35 - The Extra Harmonic Layer 07:11 - Left Hand Chord Roots 07:60 - LH with Staccato Bass 08:35 - Original Pattern - Carbon Copy in Both Hands 09:41 - Legato at the End of the Cycle 10:08 - The Variations begin 12:06 - Next Variation - Toggle the Pulse 13:44 - 3rd variation - Ghost note “e” in RH 15:22 - 4th Variation - Adding in the Melody 20:46 - Both Hands - Melody + Harmony 22:24 - Conclusion 📧 Customized & Private Classes: music@nathanielschool.com 📞 +917760456847 (Mobile & WhatsApp) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Follow me on Instagram: https://instagram.com/jasonzac 🎧 Listen to Jason Zac Music: https://geni.us/AbsenceYouTubeJZB 💰 Donate on PayPal: https://geni.us/DonatePayPal
