Today’s tutorial will be the outro section for If I Ain’t Got You by Alicia Keys. It is based of her majority performance, so right after she does the final chords. I will show you. And then she will go into the outro which is new verses, so starts as. Something in all those lines, I have made up the last section but that is basically it, it is going to be a pick up beat on G, A, B. So you know it, after you have done the, all that. After you have done all that. We are going to be crossing hands almost, it is going to be G, A, B, and the left hand will going to be D sharp, F natural and G. It does not sound like much like that, just like this does it, does not sound like anything but she puts both hands together in the song. It just going to be D sharp and G, okay so it is D sharp, A sharp, D sharp, basically that, F major, G major, D sharp, A sharp, D sharp, F, C, F, G, G, G, that is just all in one hand and the left hand and you can rotate. You can rotate the chords as needed. The D and the G follow, okay. F major here and the other G major right here. And be careful to just allow the pinky right here or the thumb right here to get precedence over this chord right here. All right, just let the left hand take over to the base note because the G major right here are fine. And that is pretty much it for the outro section. It is based of her majority of performance so there is already a tutorial on here that someone else posted of If I Ain’t Got You and he does a very, very good job of it. You may check this out. It is probably listed under If I Ain’t Got You tutorial. He does a very, very good job but this is just adding on to the majority of performance by Alicia, so, again. You can end from the G minor anywhere you want it or G, G, B or B, D, G or G, B, D, and make anywhere you want it. That is the G’s of the song. And if you have any questions just let me know. Obviously there is no sheet chord by If I Ain’t Got You is in the key of E minor and G major. That is it and thank you. There will be more Alicia Keys tutorial in the future. So thank you.
