    Skyfall Intro and Verse<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This song is so epic because it\u2019s instantly recognizable from the intro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We\u2019ll open with a majestic Cmadd9 chord, then hop into the main theme on the piano. The right hand chords are quite simple, but the left hand dotted rhythm can be tricky to sync up with. Writing out the counting and breaking it down<\/a> into eighth notes and sixteenth notes can help. So might drawing lines to align the notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"Breakdown<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The verse is very similar to the intro. We\u2019ll play a similar pattern under the vocals, but the right hand chords change a bit. A few extra notes are added, and these notes evoke that iconic James Bond sound. Pretty clever songwriting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Once you practice this section, try playing it with the backing track. Your chords will sound incredible against the orchestra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
