(Plays song: Foster the People - Life on the Nickel Introduction) Here are the chords we're going to go through: Cm,
D#, Fm, G#, then Cm up here, Bb, G#, then Gm, back to D#, D#, Gm, G#, back to Gm, and
then D#. (Plays song: Foster the People - Life on the Nickel Introduction) (Chords stated are on the screen)
After that it just kind of plays through it like this: (Plays song:
Foster the People - Life on the Nickel Introduction) (The chords stated are on screen) Then it
repeats it again. (Repeats) Then it goes through the same old thing, etc.
(Plays song: Foster the People - Life on the Nickel Chorus) Here we are at our hustlin' chorus (laughs). "Yet
again we're hustling, hustling." We will start off with Cm, and if this is middle C, we will
go down to this octave. So... Cm and then Bb. To bridge into the next chord, just kind
of hit that again, usually I just hit D and F. (Plays song: Foster the People - Life on
the Nickel Chorus) Then, go up to D#. This time keep your pinky here on Bb and play Bb
down here again (the same chord) but you will just spread your hand down here. Again its
like this: (Plays song: Foster the People - Life on the Nickel Chorus). Then hit D,
and F again like that to go into the next chord. Then touch Cm, Bb. This time keep your
thumb on Bb and just bring your pinky finger up to this Bb. Also play D and G here. This
will let you play Gm. Just pick up your hand then and move it up. Put your thumb and pinky
on C's and put your pointer finger on D# and your ring finger on G#. This lets us play
G# chord. Right there it would be Gm, G#. Then we go back to Cm. Then play Gm here.
This time you can use your thumb on D to make a more full chord. Then finish the entire
line of the chorus with Bb. Hey everybody, hope you enjoyed this tutorial. Please stick
around for the 2nd one. I will post it shortly. Make sure to leave a request for another song
