Feedback
Gabriel Leopardi20th February 2021I wish the tab for the keyboard part was included. I figured it out by ear no problem. At first I thought it changed key or switched to major, but it didn't, it's still Dm. Really nice lesson, man. I signed up for GMC specifically for this lesson.
Hi Paul! Welcome to GMC!
The song starts in Dm, but it includes some modulations. At 00:40, everything starts to sound modal and you'll find some chords (detailed in part 4) that resolve in F major key (00:53). Then at 01:06, the tune modulates to G major (D mixolydian), to finally get back to Dm at 01:20.

Hey, there's a mixup in the tabs. On 3 you play the part of 4, so all the tabs from then on shift. If you watch, you'll see what I mean. It can still be learned, but kinda threw me for a sec.
