Learn a great piano hook! - Werewolves of London Lick
Werewolves of London has a really catchy set of chords. The basic set of chords are D, C and G, but Warren Zevon plays them with cool sounding embellishments that we can borrow! This embellishment actually gets used OVER AND OVER again in rock, blues and country piano. So make sure to learn them to some degree!
Ignore all the fancy stuff I’m adding in the beginning and just focus on the lick shown at :44 seconds into the video. There is a slow walk right afterwards as well! Then go back for the fancy piano fills.
The lick uses inversions and should be written out with slash chords like this:
CHORD #1: (Gmaj/D to Dmaj)
CHORD #2: (Fmaj/C to Cmaj)
CHORD #3: (Cmaj/G to Gmaj)
*If you’ve learned how to read slash chords, you have all the information you need! Otherwise you can watch the video to learn it. If you want to brush up on your slash chords, then go to my blog post on them here: SLASH CHORDS LESSON
Nice! For someone who has had a teacher, but if you teach your self (as I have) it will take a while to catch it! But you play it nicely so 2 thumbs up mate!
Hi Mello!
Yeah anyone can teach themselves piano, but it just takes longer.
Teachers are a shortcut! Great if you can figure out a way to get a teacher!
Thanks,

To excel in anything we need teacher…. so i think its always better to be learned by a tutor who is good in the piano…..
