Simple Man by Lynard Skynard - piano vocal peformance & lesson playlist by Rick Potvin

I'll add to this playlist in coming days. There are 3 simple chords for simple players.... Am, C and G. We should think of it as being in Am-- so Am would be a minor one chord (i). From there, the C is actually a bIII and the G is a bVII. Those are the common rock chords that give this song it's flavor. I see it's one of the easiest guitar songs too-- it figures although the C chord on a guitar is a bit challanging. We'll focus on piano here for the most part. I'll also discuss green screen, lights, fake audiences and vocoders and more. I might even find a place to play it in public for real in Phoenix somewhere. We'll see.
