In this tutorial, we'll be learning how to play 'Drive My Car' by The Beatles on the piano using the Groove method. One of the key elements of this method is the enhanced 5-6 groove, which adds a syncopated and dynamic feel to the song.
First, we'll start by learning the verse of the song. The verse starts with just a few notes in the melody. It's played with the right hand while the left hand adds the 5-6 groove. Make sure to take it slow and practice each part separately before putting it all together.
Next, we'll move on to the chorus. The chorus is where we focus on the melody on the B Minor Arpeggio. The left hand just plays bass notes on the beats. Then we add in the thirds lick on the G7 chord. This will give the song a lively feel while adding a signature lick. It's important to take your time to practice this section, as it may take a bit of getting used to.
In the solo section, experiment with different riffs in the right hand while keeping the left hand groove steady. Allow the solo space to shine and have fun with it before transitioning back to the chorus. Keep the groove going on the D and G chords for as long as you desire, then switch to A when you're ready to bring the solo to a close and repeat the riff. Have fun with it and make it your own!
Finally, we'll put it all together and play through the entire song, incorporating the enhanced 5-6 groove and the other elements we've learned. Remember to keep the groove in mind and don't be afraid to add your own personal touch to the song. With practice, you'll be playing 'Drive My Car' like a pro in no time."
