Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered | Chords and LH/RH Ideas

Just a casual, bite-sized walk-through of this classic jazz piece. As always, make sure the piece is on your internal jukebox then identify the chord progression which, fortunately but unsurprisingly, is exactly as you'd expect for a jazz piece: 1 6 2 5 1... 4... 4... 3 6 2 5 1.. Second part I'll let you label it yourself :)
---
I discuss left and right hand ideas and provide more complex chord theory. As always, you don't need to want to play the piece because there's lots of stuff to take away anyway and apply to your own repertoire!

I’ve been wanting to understand this song for a long time so thank you for taking the time to make a video which explores it in depth. I integrate information better when people speak it to me I think. Generous of you to offer the written material as well, I’m looking forward to digging in!

Thanks Dan, a very useful video if one wants to learn to play. I have dissected all the chords as you said it is pretty much 1-6-2-5-1, the 3-4-7, then back to 1-6-2-5-1 etc. with additional two floating (2-5-1) chords (one landed on “F” and another on “D". I hope “Mister" enjoyed your performance. Great!

Ah, the old "cat on the lap" technique! Can only help ;)

[@danthecomposer]

Quite so! But he left on cue which was fortunate. Thanks for watching 🙏👀 Best, Dan

Such a good tutorial - thanks Dan. 👍🎶

Great ideas for this lovely song, and the scale of 8 notes too which fall nicely under the hand. Lots to think about away from the piano: getting my head around the chords is always something of a challenge for me as I'm slow, however I'm going to enjoy this, so thank you Dan and Mister

[@danthecomposer]

I thought you’d be very pleased about the cat! I couldn’t make him stay away so I yielded 🥰 Thank you for watching as ever! Best, Dan
