Welcome to this Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna This Is What You Came For easy piano tutorial. This tutorial is intended for beginners. In the video below, I start by playing the entire song first of all, then we take a look at the right hand followed by the left hand part. This is how you should learn the song. When you have learned each part separately, combine both parts and play both hands simultaneously. The notes and chords of the song are included below.

Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna This Is What You Came For Slow Easy Piano Tutorial For Beginners
Left Hand Chords:
Instead of single (or double) notes, you may take things to another level and play full three-note chords. Simply replace the single or two notes played together with chords. These chords are A minor, F major, G major and C major. The chords follow a pattern. They are as follows:
Am – F – G – C (A minor – F major – G major – C major)
Am – F – G – C
Am – F – G – C
Am – F – G – C
The notes of the Am (A minor chord) are A-C-E. The notes of the F major chord are F-A-C. The notes of the G major chord are G-B-D. The notes of the C major chord are C-E-G.
Keep repeating this sequence of chords.
Keep practicing and you’re bound to get it. 🙂 Happy learning! All the best.
