“Halo” by Beyonc\u00e9: Chords in 3 Steps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The awesome thing about knowing your chords is that you can sound good in a short amount of time. And if you spend a little extra<\/em> time, you\u2019ll sound even better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victoria will teach us how to play the song in its basic form using the four chords that form the song’s base. This will be accessible for piano players of all levels, including beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, Victoria will teach us how to make the song more similar to the original by adding ornamentation. More experienced pianists can further make the song their own by substituting their own riffs and fills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, watch until the end of the video to see us cover the song in full! You\u2019ll see how Victoria \u201cdresses up\u201d the song by adding her own unique ornaments. Use that as inspiration to do the same!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: The Basic Chords in Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s \u201cHalo\u201d\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHalo\u201d is built on four basic chords. If you know these chords, you\u2019re well on your way to playing the entire song! <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Diagrams<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We\u2019re in A Major, which means the sharps to keep track of are: F#, C#, and G#.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re familiar with the number system, you may recognize this progression<\/a> as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I – ii – vi – IV<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number system helps us transpose the song to another key if it\u2019s more comfortable to sing. (After all, not everyone can belt like Beyonc\u00e9.) If you want to learn more about this, check out our lesson<\/a> that explains the number system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
