Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a fantastic workout for navigating chromatic chord movement — your left hand holds a pedal bass pattern, which simplifies things below, but your right hand needs to handle eleven different chord shapes including some jazzy voicings like Am7, Cm6, and G7 that require precise finger placement. At 120 BPM the tempo is moderate, but the real challenge is the transition between G6 and Cm6 — that chromatic slide catches almost everyone off guard the first few times, so isolate that two-chord shift and loop it slowly until your fingers find the shape without looking. I'd recommend learning hands separately first, locking in that steady pedal bass until it's automatic, then layering the right hand on top. Watch out for the move from C major to Cm as well; it's just one note changing but rushing it will blur the color difference that gives the song its playful, soulful character. Nail these minor-major pivots and you'll build real confidence with chromatic harmony that transfers to dozens of R&B and soul tunes down the road.
