To do this I used the School of Rock website, as this has the most commonly used chords on it. (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schoolofrock.com\/resources\/keyboard\/piano-chords-for-beginners\">https:\/\/www.schoolofrock.com\/resources\/keyboard\/piano-chords-for-beginners<\/a>) After this, I wrote down the chords as this makes it easier for me to memorise them, and I can then refer back to them quickly when needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Experimentation<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hall of Fame - 16\/09\/2021\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P1M0v_3pGEU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption><strong>Hall of Fame<\/strong> 16\/09\/2021<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After rehearsing Valarie for a bit, we decided to start experimenting with new songs to see what could possibly be added to the set list. The first song we chose to try was Hall of Fame by The Script. Although the instruments sounded okay individually, when put together it didn\u2019t sound too great. The timing of the song was quite difficult to grasp, and ultimately we didn\u2019t think it was the best song for our band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Locked out of Heaven<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When working on Locked out of heaven, I listened to the original track by Bruno Mars, and then began googling the chords to get an idea of what I would be working with.
