In 1938 Frank Loesser and Hoagy Carmichael wrote Heart and Soul. Many of my students have learned this song from me or from one of their own family members. I am sure you can easily play the song. For Valentine's Day I wanted to put a different spin on it. I've learned many tips from Robert Pace. I thought I would share a different approach with you for this song. (Jazz style)
Try the left hand chords a few times until they are easy to find, then play these variations on the famous "Heart and Soul" tune.
I 7 = CGB
VI 7 = AEG
II 7 = DAC
V7 = GDF
I'll post single note riffs for each measure in the right hand. Let's give it a try!
