Happy - Pharrell Williams.

This one is all about the good fortune, smiles, laughter, joy and super-exciting new Pop-Piano skills to be learnt along with it.

You all know this mega-hit that makes your booty shake like there is no tomorrow and as most of you indicated you'd like to know how to play it too, so here it is, tutorialized all for you: 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams.

Coincidentally (or is it?) it turned out to be an awesome lesson that's a great exercise for practicing and developing your left hand bass line skills, whilst grabbing a few extension chords (Fm7? C#maj7?) with the right hand. Since you don't have to focus on patterns there (chords are just laid down) you can really bite into those basses.

Turned out to be quite a cool piano riff altogether, so have fun playing it!
