Chords for Sam (is Dead) - Domo Genesis x Tyler, the Creator (Piano Lesson by Matt McCloskey)

_ _ _ _ _ _
So I gotta say before we get going that this is my personal favorite off the OF2 tape
Really really like this song if you agree with me thumbs up.
I think they did a great job
Your verse riff is gonna be based around this chord here in the right [B] hand
That's a B major seventh in its root position composed of B D sharp F [B] sharp and A sharp
And in the left hand you're gonna be playing a G sharp
[Gb] So you're gonna hear this thing kind of like tune up at the beginning
[G] And I'm talking about like when [G] Domo first starts rapping like this is where I'm starting from
[B] So you're gonna hit this and _ _ then you're gonna come [Bb] down here to a G sharp minor in its second inversion
[Abm] _ That's composed of D sharp G sharp and B
[D] And then you're gonna switch to an F sharp augmented in its second inversion
That's composed of D F sharp and A sharp
And [N] so the only thing that's gonna switch up and how you hit these two chords is the rhythm
So the first time like it's a one-for-one basis, right?
You play the first time once then you play the second time once then you play the first one again
[F] Second one [C] again, etc, etc
So the first time that you play it through you're [Bb] gonna hit this five times.
So it's gonna [Abm] be
And then you're gonna [D] hit this three times
_ [B] So let's say you're playing along
[B] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] Then you're back [Gb] up here.
Then the second time through you only hit each one of these twice.
So it's
[D] _
[B] You're back up there and [Db] now your left hand is just gonna [Ab] stay on G sharp for the verses
In the chorus at the cover at the end of this video when Tyler says bring in the horns
I'm gonna double up like I feel like it really gives it the heavy feel so I'm gonna double these up
You know play G sharp
Just [G] exactly the same note just [Ab] an octave higher or 12 half steps higher than [Abm] where it was
Also in the course you get [Gb] an extra note in the [G] left hand as opposed to just staying straight on G sharp
Every time you hit the F sharp augmented in the [D] chorus, that's this chord every time you [Abm] hit that chord
You're gonna [Gb] switch down to F sharp in the left hand
[Ab] _ [Gb] So your verse will sound like [Abm] this and _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[Abm] _ _ then your chorus should sound something like [Ab] this
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
[Abm] _ _ _ _ [Bb] That's almost everything you need to know for this song
[N] Then the high synth that you hear during Tyler's first verse is gonna start up [Bbm] here on an F F
D [G] flat B flat
[Db] D flat and you play that twice
[Bbm] And _ _ _
_ [F] then the second time through it's [Ab] basically the same thing only instead of hitting a D flat you're gonna hit an E and you're gonna
Hit a little bit sooner
So the [F] second time through is [Bbm] gonna sound like this
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Db] Keep in mind you're doing all this with [A] an A flat in the left hand
So putting the two parts together
The A flat is gonna sound a little bit [Ab] higher than it should but just [E] showing it to you in this view
So you can see how the two hands work together with that in mind
This is what you should get for Tyler's first verse _
[Ab] _ _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Dbm] _ _ _ _ _
[B] and that's Sam is dead [Eb] by Domo Genesis and Tyler the [Ab] Creator
