How to ROCK Fur Elise on the Piano with Power Chords - Easy Lesson
INSIGHT INTO THE LIFE OF BEETHOVEN:
I find that learning songs by famous composers helps me get a better picture of their life and personality. For example, after learning Fur Elise, I now know that Beethoven had a girlfriend named Elise and she was furry.
This lesson covers the famous classical song by Beethoven called Fur Elise, which you’ve all heard a million times, but this time there is a twist! It ROCKS! By using power chords in the left hand, not only can we simplify the song, we can give it more energy and a contemporary “facelift”.
First I show you an example of the final version of fur elise with power chords.
Then a slowed down left hand example covering the chords Am and E major and how to turn them into power chords.
Then we cover the right hand fingering and slowly put most of the song together.

Hi Chris ,
you are indeed an amazing talent and great teacher.
You make it look so easy …..effortlessly.
My only comment is, if you dyed that wig white
you would may not only sound like Beethoven
you would have the Beethoven look down too !!
It took a while for my computer to get the PDF book to open
but once opened it took 5 seconds to copy it.
I thank you for all your time and effort.

I have not been able to access the Chords 101 page. Maybe I am just too computer illiterate. Have other people had a problem is it just me? I did enter the password but when I click on connect nothing happens.

Thank you so much for this lesson. Its wonderful. I have always wondered why I cant find upbeat classical music (with the exception of Vanessa Mae). Now I will be able to play it!
