Play along to Your heart is as black as night.
In this video, I break down the form of the song while playing the bass line on a Spanish classical guitar. If you’re just starting to figure out a song, remember that you don’t need to play every note or focus on the exact note names right away—just listen and find the sounds on the neck of the guitar. For the most part, this song follows a repeating chord and bass pattern, with one shift where the chord progression starts on F instead of C, as it does in the beginning.
The main goal of this video is to help you understand the form of the song—the way the chords change and flow. Before getting into the details of specific chords and bass notes, it’s essential to grasp the overall structure of the music, melody, rhythm, and meter. Focus on getting a sense of the complete song from start to finish. That’s the key starting point when learning any song—understanding its form.
