Chords & Piano Lesson
Bo Burnham - That Funny Feeling
Hello! Below you'll find my "That Funny Feeling" chords & lyrics chart as well as a tutorial video on how to play the piano accompaniment.
 

I think this song by Bo Burnham is amazing - it is incredibly poignant and heavy while managing to be clever and humorous. In the video I teach it in Bo Burnham's original key, as well as the higher key from Phoebe Bridgers' version (you can get the chart for that here)

That Funny Feeling Piano Tips
1. Take It Slow: It's counterintuitive, but the quickest way to get comfortable and sound great playing a song is to practice it very slowly at first. Steady rhythm and counting are crucial to sounding like a pro, so let yourself get used to feeling the beat at a slow, easy tempo. Once you can nail "That Funny Feeling" slowly, *gradually* speed it up. You'll sound much better than if you jumped in at full speed!
 
2. Use The Pedal Wisely: Utilize the sustain pedal to connect the chords smoothly, timing your lifts with the arrival of a new chord. For help with sustain pedal timing, check out this video.  
 
3. Simplify if need be: "That Funny Feeling" still sounds great even if you simply hold out the chords and ignore most of the rhythm patterns and extra details in the tutorial video. Feel free to keep it simple, especially if you sing while playing. As you get comfortable, you can always add the fancy stuff later.
