Treasure - Bruno Mars

Yes, we've indeed already been quite funky a few times in the last few weeks, right?

Thing is, this tune just got me noddin' my head right away, the very first time I heard it. As I saw quite a few people around me doing the same whenever this song sounded, I figured the interest for learning how to play it might be quite high.

As there are no keys (piano) in the original, I also thought it might be another fun example / exercise of how to make a piano song out of a non-piano song, copying bass lines (left hand) and harmony parts (in this case a rhythm/funk guitar, right hand).

Sorta-advanced chords, including some 7's, and a challenging, very rhythmic pattern (pay attention to the TIMING people, as it's everything ;)) that will make your ass shake. When indeed played in the correct timing, it might shake some of your (girl)friend(s) ass(es) too. Apart from that, the before mentioned makes it a great exercise for both chords and patterns.

As always, any comments (wether questions, remarks, suggestions, or whatever you have to spill) are more than welcome, so please leave 'em below this post!

Have fun!

Cheers, Coen.
