Hello! Below you'll find my "Wonderwall" chords & lyrics chart as well as a tutorial video on how to play the piano accompaniment.
This massive hit by Oasis needs no introduction. The piano chord voicings I teach in the video are very accurate to the guitars on the original recording. I also give an option to make everything much easier, if need be.
Enjoy!

Wonderwall 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 "Wonderwall" 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: "Wonderwall" 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.
