Have a little faith in me - John Hiatt.

Pop-Piano at it's finest.ย 

Apart from the stunning and heartfelt vocal performance of mister Hiatt on this track, this is one of the greatest examples of just how simple a piano-riff can be to create an atmosphere to melt even the coldest of ices.

In this lesson of course I'll also explain it's 'origin' - the chords and pattern that the riff are built of - in detail so you'll both understand- and be able to reproduce it in many other ways, just like -as you'll also see later in the tutorial- John does himself later on in the song.

I hope you'll have as much fun playing and fooling around with this one as I did when I just got into playing piano, for this is in fact one of the very first songs that I tried myself.

Cheers, Coen.
