Unchained Melody

One of the most popular songs of the 20th century, "Unchained Melody" has been recorded by numerous artists and performers. Perhaps the most famous version, by "The Righteous Brothers" saw a revival in 1990 when used in the film "Ghost", starring the late Patrick Swayze.

How to play 'Unchained Melody'' song on the piano or guitar

A relatively easy song for the guitar, with just the C#m and G#m the tricky chords to look out for. If you are barring these chords, notice that the index finger of the left hand can remain where it is as you pass between the two chords.

E major is a challanging key for the pianist or keyboard player, with almost every chord containing a black key or two. It's possible to imitate the feel of Unchained Melody chords by playing them in a broken way, rather than playing the notes at the same time. For example, consider playing E major as notes ascending in this order - E - G# - B - E , and then descending B - G# - E.
