Noodle Info

Are you a fan of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme?

Below are two trademarks of the 20-year-old iconic soundtrack:

  1. The opening chord progression

  2. Compound time.

Fun fact: There’s a story behind the composer credited with the soundtrack. Learn about the drama here if you have 4:18 minutes to spare.

Psst…get out your recording app!

Your Challenge

Play through the chords below in root position.

Slide between them using inversions.

Clap the rhythms and feel two big beats per three 8th notes.

Create patterns within these rhythms using the chord progression.

Attempt to play the Pirates theme by ear!

EXTRA: Turn the chord progression and rhythms upside down and create a soft ballad using the same chord progression and perhaps hints of “Pirates.”

Always ask yourself: What if I?
