Dear Prudence - Piano Lessonby Beatles

Dear Prudence was written and sung by John Lennon. It was recorded and released in 1968 on The Beatles White Album. In this lesson, we’ll talk about the 8 different triads used in the song. Several of these chords are played with an added note and many are played with bass notes other than the root – so we’ll cover slash chords. As usual, we’ll first go through each part of the song with chords in root position – then follow that up by using the technique of finding the nearest inversion. In the song-specific techniques section, I’ll give you ideas on how your left and right hands should work together rhythmically as you move from section to section – and I’ll show you the signature descending bassline and how to emulate on the keyboard the cool guitar riff that ends the song.
