Mood : Clubbing Mood


Key : C Minor



What Kinda LifeStyle Is This!!!?? WTF? =p

Anyway, let's Partayyyyyyyy!!!

This song is in C Minor, quite straight forward, just follow the same patterns that you've learnt from all my previous tutorials and that you've always been using. Use your ears to listen to the Right Hand Melody and your heart to figure out the Left Hand Accompaniment. When you find the Melody, the Accompaniment will follow, like always.

Click HERE for the video. You'll need it while reading a printed copy of this tutorial.

Introduction :
The Music Just Starts. Play the Melody with Simple Accompaniment. Then the Background Beat comes in. (F F G Ab then C back to Bb Ab)
We like to sleep all day and party all night! 
This is how we like to live our life! 
Hands up! 
woah, woah, let's go! 
(Chords are Ab, C, Bb, Ab, C, Bb)

That was part of the Introduction

It's a revolution, yeah! 
Ain't no time for seclusion, yeah! 
Come on and put a bottle in your hand, 
Until you can't stand it, 
Just rock it, rock it, woah! 
So much confusion, yeah! 
Cause everybody's losin' it! 
It's feeling like the festival tonight 
With the flashing lights, and we rock it, woah!

(Chords are Ab, C, Bb, back to Ab, C, Bb. First time Softer and Simpler, Second Time more Chorded and Slightly Louder. Chord C and Bb before going to next phrase)
 
And we don't let our worries inside, 
Until it gets bright outside, 
We're breaking all the rules that we know! 
We outta control! 
We rock and we roll! 
And nothing gonna ever stop the party you know! 

(Gentle and Smooth. Left Hand dances on C, Bb, Eb, Ab, F, F, G Getting Louder then back to)

We like to sleep all day and party all night! 
This is how we like to live our life! 
I've got a feeling everything is gonna be all right, 
So come on, come on! 
We like to sleep all day and party all night! 
This is how we like to live our lives! 
I've got a feeling everything is gonna be all right, 
So come on, come on! 
Let's party tonight! 

(Chorus! Similar to the Beginning. Chords are Ab, C, Bb, back to Ab, C, Bb. First time Softer and Simpler, Second Time more Chorded and Slightly Louder. Chord C and Bb before going to next phrase)

destination yeah, the feel of liberation, 
We're going like the rebels in the cars, 
And we're breaking the laws, 
And we rock it, rock it woah! 
Know our nation, no! No light until the day comes, no! 
We gonna paint the town red 
until god knows when!
Cause we rock it! 

(Chords are Ab, C, Bb, back to Ab, C, Bb. First time Softer and Simpler, Second Time more Chorded and Slightly Louder. Chord C and Bb before going to next phrase)


And we don't let our worries inside, 

Until it gets bright outside, 
We break all the rules that we know! 
We're out of control! 
We rock it, we roll! 
And nothing gonna ever stop the party you know! 

(Gentle and Smooth. Left Hand dances on C, Bb, Eb, Ab, F, F, G Getting Louder then back to)

We like to sleep all day and party all night! 
This is how we like to live our life! 
I've got a feeling that everything is gonna be all right, 
So come on, come on! 
We like to sleep all day and party all night! 
This is how we like to live our lives! 
I've got a feeling that everything is gonna be all right, 
So come on, come on! 
Let's party tonight! 

(Chorus! Similar to the Beginning. Chords are Ab, C, Bb, back to Ab, C, Bb. First time Softer and Simpler, Second Time more Chorded and Slightly Louder. Chord C and Bb before going to next phrase)

We gonna rock until the night is done, 
We ain't gonna stop until we see the sun, 
And we will never ever... 
No need for solutions, 
We're starting up a revolution! 

(Bridge! Octaves on Ab, then Bb, then Ab again and Bb again. Right Hand plays the Melody)

We like to sleep all day and party all night! 
This is how we like to live our life! 
I've got a feeling that everything is gonna be all right, 
So come on, come on! 
We like to sleep all day and party all night! 
This is how we like to live our lives! 
I've got a feeling that everything is gonna be all right, 
So come on, come on! Let's party tonight woah!

(Chorus! Similar to the Beginning. Chords are Ab, C, Bb, back to Ab, C, Bb. First time Softer and Simpler, Second Time more Chorded and Slightly Louder. Chord C and Bb before going to next phrase)

I really don't know how I got this song, but, I played the left hand following the background music and my right hand, the lyrics. The song is rather difficult to play, but it can be done. You need to focus on the background music especially the left hand, then you'll need to coordinate it with your right hand. I know you can do it. C'mon, I know you can.

Click HERE to watch how I played it.

Note : There are more than one version of this song. The one that I've played has the intro cut. It was a pre-release.

(Ho! Ho! Ho! I know you guys have been anxiously waiting for this. This song can be easy and can be really difficult to play. The chords are easy, the flow is difficult. You need a lot of patience to learn this. I would recommend that you watch the video while reading the tutorial or you'll be in total lost. Even better if you can slow down the video with some software)

(Right hand Single notes on the melody, Left hand Single notes on the accompaniment, chords are F#, D, A, E then back to F#, D, A, E (low) Low E is to prepare you to dance on the low chords)

That girl, is a gun to my holster
She's runnin through my mind all day, ay

Key : B♭ Minor + D♭ Major

Please check the
video on YouTube, it's easier to follow like that. My camera angle is specially optimized for your eyes.


(Sean Kingston)
Eenie meenie miney mo
Catch a bad chick by her toe
If she holla’ (if, if, if she holla) let her go

(Follow the beat of the lyrics on the right hand, there's no melody here. Left hand on B♭ then G♭, then C#, then A♭)

Shes indecisive
She can’t decide
She keeps on lookin’
From left to right

(Right hand simple notes following the melody which starts from C#, left hands the same chords, but there's a beat here. Keep first two left hand notes on F and C#, move the left little finger along B♭ then G♭, then C#, then A♭)

Girl, c’mon get closer
Look in my eyes
Searchin’ is so wrong
I’m Mr. Right

(Same as above)

You seem like the type
To love em’ and leave em’
And disappear right after this song.
So give me the night
To show you, hold you
Don’t leave me out here dancin’ alone

(This part turns into a very graceful feeling, filled with love. Here you need to learn how to roll your left hand along the chords of B♭ then G♭, then C#, then A♭. Before you do this, you need to know the notes that are within each chord, then use your heart to follow the beat and the graceful lyrics, just roll along it.)

You can’t make up your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
Please don’t waste my time, time, time, time, time
I’m not tryin’ to rewind, wind, wind, wind, wind
I wish our hearts could come together as one

(This is where the fun starts, just play octaves on left hand along the chords B♭ then G♭, then C#, then A♭. If you can, perform some of your own creative beat. Right hand follows melody, play the chords to make the music bold)

Cause shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’

(Same as above)

[Justin Bieber]
Let me show you what your missin’
Paradise
With me you’re winning girl
You don’t have to roll the dice
Tell me what you’re really here for
Them other guys?
I can see right through ya’

(Justin's part is a bit different from Sean Kingston's, some of the melody parts are altered to Justin's style. Left hand can be more jumpy. Same chords as above)

You seem like the type
To love em’ and leave em’
And disappear right after the song.
So give me the night
To show you, hold you
Don’t leave me out here dancin’ alone

(Here you can stop jumpin' on the chords and play this part gracefully. Left hand rolls on the chords of B♭ then G♭, then C#, then A♭)

Can’t make up your mind
Please don’t waste my time
Not tryin’ to rewind
I wish our hearts could come together as one

(Same as above)

Cause shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’

(Instead of playing octaves here, you can roll around with beats, listen to how I play it on the video and you'll understand what I mean here.)

[Sean Kingston]
Eenie meenie miney moe
Catch a bad chick by her toe
If she holla’ (if, if, if she holla) let her go
Eenie meenie miney moe
Catch a bad chick by her toe
If she holla’ (if, if, if she holla) let her go

(Pedal skill is really important in this part, you need to step the pedal half-way and release half-way according to the beat of your preference. Right hand play on chords according to the lyrics)

Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lova’

(Really really soft, the music slowly builds here)

Can’t make up your mind
Please don’t waste my time
Not tryin’ to rewind
I wish our hearts could come together as one
(repeat)

(End this with power)
