Mood : Happy Mood + Playful Mood

Key : F Major

Being in F Major, this song is not as difficult to play. The song is pretty catchy too. Tell me about your hair.

Please click HERE for the video. You will need it while reading a printedcolor copy of this tutorial. It's much easier to learn that way from the feedback of most people on my website. Please read my previous postings on how to use these tutorials.

Introduction

Right Hand plays the Introduction Melody while Left Hand plays single notes on F, C, D, Bb (The Main Chords for the entire song)

Whenever I'm dressed cool my parents put up a fight
And if I'm hot shot, mom will cut my hair at night
And in the morning I'm short of my identity
I scream, "Mom and dad, why can't I be who I wanna be, to be?"
(Left Hand Continues to play on chords F, C, D, Bb, use Octaves for subsequent parts. Right Hand plays Melody)

I just wanna be myself and I want you to love
Me for who I am
I just wanna be myself and I want you to know
I am my hair
(Left Hand gracefully dances on D, C, F, Bb, moving towards Chorus)

I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freak
I just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streets
I've had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
(Left Hand Strongly dances on chords F, C, D, Bb for Chorus. Right Hand uses Chords)

I'm as free as my hair
I'm as free as my hair
I am my hair
I am my hair
(Right Hand slightly syncopated according to the actual song. Same chords)

Free as my hai-ai-air
Hai-ai-air, hair
Free as my hai-ai-air
Hai-ai-air, hai-ai-air
(Semi Detached, dances on D continuously, then A, C, D)

Sometimes I want some raccoon or red highlights
Just because I want my friends to think I'm dynamite
And on Friday, Rock City High School dance
I've got my bangs to hide that I don't stand a chance, a chance
(Left Hand Continues to play on chords F, C, D, Bb, more chords for subsequent parts. Right Hand plays Melody)

I just wanna be myself and I want you to love
Me for who I am
I just wanna be myself and I want you to know
I am my hair
(Left Hand gracefully dances on D, C, F, Bb, moving towards Chorus)

I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freak
I just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streets
I've had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear
(Left Hand Strongly dances on chords F, C, D, Bb for Chorus. Right Hand uses Chords)

I'm as free as my hair
I'm as free as my hair
I am my hair
I am my hair
(Right Hand slightly syncopated according to the actual song. Same chords)

Free as my hai-ai-air
Hai-ai-air, hair
Free as my hai-ai-air
Hai-ai-air, hai-ai-airr
(Semi Detached, dances on D continuously, then A, C, D)

I just want to be free, I just want to be me
And I want lots of friends that invite me to their parties
Don't want to change and I don't want to be ashamed
I'm the spirit of my hair, it's all the glory that I bear
(Bridge, Bb, C, F, Bb, C, F continuously)

I'm my hair, I am my hair
I'm my hair, I am my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair, I am my hair
It's all the glory that I bear

I'm my hair, I am my hair
It's all the glory that I bear
I'm my hair, I am my hair
I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

It's all the glory that I bear
I'm my hair, yeah, yeah
It's all the glory that I bear
I'm my hair, yeah, yeah
It's all the glory that I bear
I'm my hair, yeah, yeah

I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair
I've had enough, this is my prayer
That I'll die livin' just as free as my hair

I've had enough, I'm not a freak
I just keep fightin' to stay cool on the streets
I've had enough, enough, enough
And this is my prayer, I swear

I'm as free as my hair
I'm as free as my hair
I am my hair, I am my hair
Ooh, I'm my hair, I'm my hair

Mood : Emo Mood

Key : B Major

This is not a good song to be played while driving. First, it's gonna make you sleep. Secondly, it's about accidents and hospitals. LOLZ!! Anyway, the melody is great! Highly recommended song.

Please click HERE for the video. You will need it while reading a printed copy of this tutorial. It's much easier to learn that way. Please read my oldest posts to learn how to understand the tutorials.

Verse 1

I survived a dreadful accident
in the car crash of the century
My shattered hopes collapsed on cold cement
But in the back of the ambulance,
I'd never felt so content
(Left Hand gracefully plays chords B, G#, E, G#, F# for the first part, then B, G#, E, B, F# for the second part. Right Hand plays the Melody according to the lyrics)

Chorus

A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render this scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency.
(Chorus, Left Hand on C#, B, F# then C#, G#, F#, then C#, B, F# again. Ends with E, F#, B moving to a bridge before Verse 2)

Bridge
Chords are B, F#, C#, E. Right Hand follow the song by listening. x 4

Verse 2

I tossed and turned in sterile apathy
Until the violets arrived for me
The bouquet burst and blossoms filled the room
And the place got smaller
As they grew taller
and taught me to bloom
(Left Hand gracefully plays chords B, G#, E, G#, F# for the first part, then B, G#, E, B, F# for the second part. Right Hand plays the Melody according to the lyrics)

Chorus

A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render this scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency.
(Chorus, Left Hand on C#, B, F# then C#, G#, F#, then C#, B, F# again. Ends with E, F#, B moving to a bridge before Verse 2)

Bridge

The curtains decayed
The daylight poured in
I was never afraid of the darkness again
My burns were third degree
But I'd been set free
Because grace had finally found its way to me
(Chords on A, E, G, D, A, E, B, F#)

Chorus

A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight to me
And now my vision can render this scene
A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris
Happiness returned to me
Happiness returned to me
Happiness returned to me through a grave emergency.
(Chorus, Left Hand on C#, B, F# then C#, G#, F#, then C#, B, F# again. Ends with E, F#, B moving to a bridge before Verse 2)

A Weird and Tiring Dream

8/24/2012

0 Comments

Disclaimer : This posting may sound very childish, even to me. But this is the weirdest and most tiring dream I've ever had, and I think there is no harm sharing just this to you guys just for once.

In this dream, I had mild super powers similar to superman and spiderman. In order to keep my family safe, I had to escape from them as I was being hunted down by three mutants, one similar to Hulk, the other was like a needle shooting spiderman, last one was like a highly intelligent joker. The 3 of them were much stronger than me and could easily kill me. I was running for my life trying to hide. They were searching for me high and low. I didn't know the reason.

Initially, I ran to a seaside pier. They were there. I was running and hiding at the same time. They destroyed everything and many people got killed in the process.

I continued to run for my life and found a sanctuary where it was a hiking place with no one there except an old house and an old man washing his car. I hid on the backyard overlooking the forest. A kid suddenly came by and gave me something to wear telling me it's warm for my feet. I was cold, so I wore it and felt a sharp pain on my feet. A GPS was implanted in my feet. I had to run for my life once again, now with the GPS.

I found a very huge high rise building and I climbed my way up to an outdoor place where they hid a lot of boxes. I found a friend who is willing to help. He told me that the place is for debtors running from creditors. My new friend even gave me his apartment keys for hiding. The mutants found the place I was hiding with the GPS but I was amongst the boxes. I hid there for a long time. They killed my new friend.

Thereafter, I ran to my new friend's apartment to rest, it was a penthouse. But the mutants found their way there and were running up the stairs destroying everything from the bottom. I tried escaping from the windows to fly out but there were Invisifence (Thin, Elastic and Very Strong Metal Rods, a product that many new property owners install on their windows to prevent break ins at the same time enjoy the scenery of their windows) installed on the windows.

I broke the walls with all my might and flew out. It became sky case. I was literally hopping from skyscrapers to skyscrapers trying to run for my life. Then I woke up. What a tiring dream to start my Saturday.

Mood : Playful Mood

Key : C Minor

Sorry for the delay, I'll be updating my blog more often to catch up. I've been traveling a lot, the United States last month, Bangkok this month. For leisure and business. This is a lustful song. The beat is pretty much the same as the bass in the actual song. Just follow your emotions.

Please click HERE for the video. You will need it while reading a printed copy of this tutorial. It's much easier to learn that way. Best if you can read the first few pages of this blog to find out how to use my tutorials. You'll eventually learn how to play by ear.

Introduction

Continuously hitting on Octave C according to the beat. Getting louder.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooow
Oooooooooooooooooooooooow
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooow
(Chords are C, Eb, Bb, Ab. Octaves, right hand plays the melody)

I know you want me
I made it obvious that I want you too
So put it on me
Let’s remove the space between me and you
Now rock your body (oooh)
Damn I like the way that you move
So give it to me (oooo oooh)
Cause I already know what you wanna do
(Simple, just play the same four chords, according to the beat. C, Eb, Bb, Ab. Right hand plays the melody)

Here’s the situation
Been to every nation
Nobody’s ever made me feel the way that you do
You know my motivation
Given my reputation
Please excuse I don’t mean to be rude
(Smooth, same four chords, C, Eb, Bb, Ab)

But tonight I’m loving you
Oh you know
That tonight I’m loving you
Oh you know
That tonight Im loving you
(Left Hand dances around the same four chords. C, Eb, Bb, Ab)

You’re so damn pretty
if I had a type than baby it’d be you
I know your ready
if I never lied, than baby you’d be the truth(Simple, just play the same four chords, according to the beat. C, Eb, Bb, Ab. Right hand plays the melody)

Here’s the situation
Been to every nation
Nobody’s ever made me feel the way that you do
You know my motivation
Given my reputation
Please excuse I don’t mean to be rude
(Smooth, same four chords, C, Eb, Bb, Ab)

But tonight I’m loving you
Oh you know
That tonight I’m loving you
Oh you know
That tonight I’m loving you
(Left Hand dances around the same four chords. C, Eb, Bb, Ab)

[Ludacris]
LUDA..
Tonight I’m gonna do
Everything that I want with you
Everythin that u need
Everything that u want I wanna honey
I wanna stunt with you
From the window
To the wall
Gonna give u, my all
Winter n summertime
When I get you on the springs
Imma make you fall
You got that body
That make me wanna get on the boat
Just to see you dance
And I love the way you shake that ass
Turn around and let me see them pants
You stuck with me
I’m stuck with you
Lets find something to do
(Please) excuse me
I don’t mean to be rude
(Your Own style, initially, all in C Minor Chords. Then the four chords)

[Enrique Iglesias]
But tonight I’m loving you
Oh you know
That tonight I’m loving you
Oh you know
That tonight I’m loving you
(Repeat til end on the four chords)
