Somewhere over the rainbow chords are fairly straight-forward to learn.
Most famously associated with the film The Wizard of Oz, ‘Over The Rainbow’ has also been played by many great jazz musicians over the years.
The tune follows an AABA form and the chord changes are quite repetitive making it an easy tune for beginners to learn and memorise.
We will start off with some very simple voicings and then add some bigger two handed chords.
Because the A section of the tune repeats itself 3 times, we will look at some interesting chord substitutions that can be used to liven up the tune and add variety to the performance.
This Somewhere over the rainbow piano lesson is designed for beginner jazz piano students.

This is an exemplary rendition. Most other accomplished pianists wildly run arpeggios and chords, forgetting the intent of the melody and distorting the harmony and tempo to the point the song becomes unrecognizable!
I agree!

Thank you
God bless u!!
Thanks so much for this Piano Jazz Tutorials across many helps. I was looking forward since longtime. Now °^^°Eurêka . My projects 🎹 will be realized soon in the 21rst June, the French Festival Music 🎹🎵🎶👌👌👌
God bless You, my Piano Jazzy Master Tutor 🙏👌🙏👌🙏👌
I'm barely an intermediate player, transitioning from playing root position chords, to open voicings. It is awkward for me, but you are certainly an inspiration. Thank You!
Thank you for this. I play by ear, and my family thinks I can play anything because of it, but they really don't understand how limited I feel by not being able to read music or play comfortably in any key other than C (thankful for my keyboard that lets me transpose). This song has always been a challenge for me, so thanks so much for breaking it down. Cheers! -Ken
Thank you so much. I love this and it's at a speed that I can grasp with listening, practice and time. I'm a 62 year old ear player and I find these beautiful arrangements very refreshing. It gives me something very beautiful to reach for. Thank you.
Thank you for this...

This video made me fall in love with jazz piano!! God bless you smart gentleman!!

Great lesson man!! Thank you for sharing.
Simple, yet quite effective. Thank you!
Yes I agree Eddie, I think sometimes the beauty is in the simplicity.... complicated chords and fills are not always necessary.... remember these songs were great tunes before us 'jazzers' got our hands on them :-) cheers, PianoGroove

Someone might not like the voicing. There are some parts I would play differently, so...

Very nice explain for this song, thanks you, God bless you teacher.
Man congrats on this channel...its awesome. Lots of great Stuff here,nice work...keep it up!!!
Nice sus chord at 2:30. They are my new favorite. They are great for getting an open modern kind of sound.
Beautifly done, bro. I'm gonna practice it.
Thank you sir.. i really like the chords
I have been searching for this all my life, not kidding. Thank you.
Haha completely agree man. :-D
I know what you mean....so many variations, so many disappointments, but this one rocks. Check out Keith Jarrett’s Over the Rainbow played in Tokyo. Forgot where I found the transcription, but I have it.
beautiful voicings!
Top teacher! Thansks for share!
Beautiful.
You really taught me how to play jazz piano! I was non knowledge of piano 5 years before
Thank you so much. Your videos help my ear get familiar with the sound of the extensions /upper structures. Yet, I would dare to suggest an alternative in bar 6 of the bridge. I like the idea of the tritones but, what you"re really doing, by using them, is replacing the A half-diminished with an A diminished 7, which is sort of giving away the D7 that comes next. What if we played Eb-A / G-C (tritone and P4th) on the A half-diminished and keep the Eb-A / F#-C (the all-tritone figure) for the D7?
Thank you for this. Not really difficult but economy of notes but progressive, all in one lesson.
Amazing👍
Very good!
Great job again as usual! For piano players like me that don't have a back round in Jazz, You have a great teaching technique. I have learned a lot from you! Great song, always love this melody... Keep up the good work! Thanks again! Chris from Philadelphia PA

Thanks Alfredo, I'm really glad to hear you found it useful. Cheers, PianoGroove
Excellent video
This is awesome!
Cheers dude.
Love the lesson-couldnt download the chord subs. Not on facebook
Like it a lot🎉
Very good.
Hi, this is so beautiful, thanks for sharing, are you still sharing the chords, the bitly link doesn't take you there, it would be awesome if I could get them. Thanks again
Thanks a lot! Your lessons are great! But I'd like to ask you a curiosity: what software do you use to show the piano keys pressed on real time (the upper keyboard)? Tks.
You're awesome!
Do "Fly me to the moon" next!
Hi Kimp, we have actually covered that tune in a very detailed 2-part tutorial. You can watch the lesson highlights here: www.pianogroove.com/jazz-piano-lessons/fly-me-to-the-moon-tutorial/ - It's part of the PianoGroove Pro course along with 50+ other jazz standards. Hope this helps :-) PianoGroove
Hi, I love your job. Could you please one day create tutos for "All the things you are" and "In a sentimental mood" 😊?
Lovely tutorial, beautiful chords and voicing, Just a minor observation: I found it a bit confusing that right at the beginning you say it starts with an Eb maj7 chord while you play a plain Eb major chord, and then you say it is followed by a Cm 7 while you play a Cm ninth chord. Thankfully you go slowly enough to make it easy to follow any way, so it is just a minor note. Thanks for the tutorial!
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?
Можно и нам побывать там!!! Только впусти эти волшебные звуки в душу. И всё произойдет. Такая волшебная гармония звука !!!
Eva Cassidy …..beautiful song!
Thank you, you just got a subscriber
YES FINALLY
So beautiful and very well explained. Thanks so much for posting.
Can you do a tutorial for Embraceable You?
Thanks!
Very helpful lesson! One question though.. Witten at the end of the bridge is a B9(sus4). I'm guessing that's supposed to be a Bb9(sus4) instead?
maravilloso!!!
bravissimo e ottima spiegazione
Muto bene!
Beautifully done! Must try this arrangement. Thank you:)
Where do you get the lead sheet? I really like this instructional.
As in many aspects of life, the less the more, exemplified in this sensitive arrangement that is accessible for noobs like me to begin learning. Thank you so much. I love it. So moving.
Is the mdi file available (to purchase) so that I can use Synthesia?
Final Arrangement

Thanks for the teaching but i can’t find any link to download the piano piece so that i can practice the left hand. Can u help me? It sounds simple and easy for beginners.
I enjoy your tutorials sir but I would like to ask a question. If, due to hand size and shape, one cannot reach a chord from thumb to pinky like you have in some of the chords presented here, what should they do? Any suggestion would be appreciated. I am relatively new to playing and I find that this problem arises from time to time. Thanks in advance.
Please point out which finger/ hand is playing the melody? I am having trouble figuring this out? I thought it was always supposed to be the highest note or on top?
Nice work, you have an appealing manner and approach - but you missed the obvious Bill Evans-y strategy of harmonizing the opening measures of iii - iii - biiidim7 - ii, etc. Or, along the same lines - oh, I'll just write the chord symbols, it's easier - am7b5 - abm6 -gm7 - f#dim7 - fm7, etc., or am7b5 - abm7 - Db7 - gm7 - Ab9 - gm7 - f#dim7 - fm7, etc. And on and on. You know where the bar lines are, you're obviously a good musician.
i don't follow yet, but i enjoyed the sound.
Great. How do I download the copyof the lead sheet with the chord substitutions?
It would be great if you could add the complete chords as played by both hands in the acompanying pdf file. For most beginners it would help a lot. Thank you.
Hi there have u heard kenny G's version? He doesnt play a typical Ebmaj7 on the last chorus.. i am not sure if its because of the accompaniment but i think its a jazz chord.. let me know if u can figure that out.. very nice on this video though im inspired to play jazz
The amount of chords on the sheet is kinda daunting.... but it ain't gonna stop me!
hello. very good work! thank you so much. A question about the song, I'm writing an arrangement to sing but I don't know what the "original" version is since Ella Fitzgerald's I think the lyrics she sings are longer and have more parts. That baffles me. Can you help me know which is the "correct" version? I'm sorry for my English. I write to you from Argentina. I loved your video and it helped me a lot to know what the correct chords were. a hug.
Really great stuff. I'm confused by the statement at 3:02, though. ii-V in F minor would be Gmi7b5-C7b9. You're playing a ii-bVII7, aka the backdoor dominant.
Can't find words to describe how beautiful and divine you make all this sound. I have always loved jazz but the way you play is so amazing that I have now come to love piano jazz. You have inspired me so much that I bought a digital piano and decided to learn playing piano! It's coming next week :) in fact I set a target to myself to play like you in a year from now (of course just the simple ones - I probably need 20 years to come close to your skills). Thank you for everything.
spent like a month working on this, thanks. There's some nice subtlties that you don't explain, those require slowing down the video, but overall great video.
Do "what a wonderful world" please
Can anyone point out where to find the lead sheet?
as a beginner-intermediate student, (level 3 adult) its hard to play based on just a chord notation...I mean what are the notes for a Ebmaj7!...inspiring to listen to but just having a written chord is light years away for me...how do I get there? Thank you for posting
Much nicer version than that from the Alfred’s book. Sounds much more poetic and smooth. Gorgeous (technically I don’t anything 😢).
Not everyone knows major and.mimor chords.. best to Name 🙏 EACH. chord by letters ,! This would help beginners!
