How to Analyze Chords in an Eb (E Flat) Piano Song

Okay, now I really want to take a minute to literate that we're really focusing on our right hand and as we go through this piece today we're going to really look at the melody and show you how to read it very simply. Make everything very simplistic. For all these chords you're going to have to search on Expert Village how to play these chord changes as you would if you went through any fake book. You've got to learn the actual chords. Again, you can search for E flat major. My first fake book and a lot of very simple basic chords will come up and as we go through today I'll show you how to reference all these different chords. This tune is more modal and the chords go all over the place so we're going to show you how to find all these different chords. But again, don't get discouraged you just might have to go and open a couple extra windows to figure out a couple, maybe five or six chords. But it will all wrap into itself and you really got to do this. The more you do this, the more it become second nature and you just have to keep practicing these chords and keep getting them under your fingers and playing through tunes like this will be a breeze in no time.
