Chords for How to Play "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" by Phil Collins | HDpiano (Part 1) Tutorial

_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ Hey everybody, welcome back to HD [Eb] Piano.
This is Jeff.
Today we're going to be doing a [Cm] throwback tune called [Eb] Against All Odds, take [Cm] a look
at me now.
_ _ This one's by the great Phil Collins.
It's a really beautiful piano tune with a lot of nice chords.
It's a fun one to learn.
In this lesson we're going to be [Ebm] checking out the intro, which is short and sweet.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ That's it for the intro.
A really beautiful, [Eb] nice little piano riff to learn.
We're going to separate the hands on this one.
Let's start with the right hand first.
The first little phrase is this.
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] We start by playing three black notes [C] right around middle C here.
[Bb] We have a B flat, [Bbm] D flat, [Eb] _ and E flat. _ _
This is sort [Bbm] of an E flat [Ab] minor seven chord.
For those that are interested, we're in the key of D flat here.
[Ebm] _ _ Here's some of the notes from an E flat minor seven chord.
We're going to play those three black notes, then we're going to go down to an [Ab] A flat,
[Bb] B flat, _ [Gb]
up to a G flat, [Dm] _ and F natural.
[Bb] Try to play those notes with me.
Three black notes, _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
_ [E] and then our rhythm for that phrase is [Ab] one E [Gb] and a two [F] E and. _
[Bb] Try that.
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ Great.
Then the next little piece of the phrase is this.
[Ab] _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ Again, [Db] we have two black notes here, D [Eb] flat, E flat.
_ _ _ [Ab] _ Then we're going to go up to an A flat single [G] note, hang on to that A flat, and then play
a C natural, middle C.
_ _ [Ab] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] That rhythm is three [G] E and four.
_ [Ab] Again, three E and four. _
If we put that right [E] hand together, it'll sound like this.
[Bb]
One E [F] and a two E [Ab] and three [Fm] E and four.
_ _ Let's try it one more [Bb] time.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ [F] _ _
[Ab] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] The second measure starts the same way, _ _
[Gb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ but instead [Ab] of this part, we're just going to
play an A flat triad in root position.
A flat, C, E flat. _ _
_ Let's try the whole right hand.
[Bb] One [Ebm] E and a [F] two E [Ab] and three [G] E and four.
_ [Bb] One E [Ebm] and a [F] two E [Ab] and three and four and.
Right here, I want you to pause the video, go back, make sure you have the right [Gb] hand.
Maybe back here, we're going to add the left hand, which is pretty easy.
_ The three notes in the [Eb] left hand _ are an E flat, _ _ low E flat, octave up E flat, and then
down [Ab] a fifth to A flat. _
Our rhythm here [Eb] is going to be one and two [Ab] and three and four. _
The second measure is the [Eb] same thing.
One and two [Ab] and three and four. _
_ _ _ Get used to that.
Then when you're ready, meet me here and [Gb] we're going to put the hands together nice and slow,
which will sound like [Eb] this.
One [Ebm] E and a two [Eb] E and [Ab] three [Ab] E and four.
_ _ [Eb] One E [Ebm] and a two E and [Ab] three and four.
Let's [Eb] try it a little bit faster.
[Ab] One E and a [Eb] two E and [Ab] three E and four.
_ [Ab] One E [Ebm] and a two E and three _ four.
Little faster and I'm going to add a little sustain pedal now.
[Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ All right, that was the intro to Against All Odds by Phil Collins.
Great [Eb] job.
Stick around, we got a lot more coming up for this tune.
We got a verse, [Dm] a chorus, and we're going to talk about the outro, [C] and then we'll do
the whole [Eb] song run through.
