Location: Kawasaki / Oct 24, 2009


Sheet music
This video shows you a scene in which I'm teaching the student how to play Over The Rainbow in the Bossa Nova style.


The video starts right before the B section of the tune, where I sing "Someday I'll wish upon on a star and wake up where the..". These are the chords the student is playing there.

And, these are the chords that were supposed to be played when the student stumbles. The first one is called F#Ø (F# half-diminished) and is not a very common chord. Another name for it is F#m7(b5).

And finally, after the vocal hits the highest notes of the song, the song goes back to the A section, where the lyrics are "Somewhere over the rainbow..". These are the chords being played then.
