Lay Me Down – Sam Smith.

Pop Piano oozing all over this track.

Quite a cool one for those of you that are just starting out learning some patterns, or who are trying to get a little closer with 7’s and some other extensions.

Pretty decent (doable) level for a ‘accompany yourself’ rehearsal (or even: recital!).

I put yet another ‘full version’ next to the regular 15 minutes of more-in-depth-talky-talk. Pick whichever suits you, or (my preferred option of choice) do the longer tutorial and then see how it all fits by following through (and PLAYING ALONG TO! golden tip there) the one-taker.

Have fun with this one guys, that Sam sure does know how to sing (does anybody know if he write his own songs btw?).

Full in depth-tutorial:
