For the next chord you’ll do a stretch out from the middle – keep your middle note in place (it’s best to use finger 2 for this note) and bring the bottom note down and top note up, to F# in both cases. For the next chord keep the top two fingers in place and bring the bottom finger down a half-step to the next black key, G#. The first chord is A major, which if you’ve begun Accompaniment 1 you’ll know is a triangle shape with the thumb on A (if you don’t know that much, just play the notes A, C# and E). It’s best to handle one thing at a time, and playing the chords as simple block chords will help you focus on what’s happening from one to the next. Don’t worry about breaking up the chords just yet. Let’s start with the verses (the first couple of pages). I recommend you get pretty confident with each section before moving on to the next.

We are going to process the song by looking at what happens from one chord to the next, and reduce this down to a series of clues. But it takes very little extra effort to make the piano part sound almost exactly like the original.Īlthough I name a lot of notes in this guide, the idea is definitely not to memorise every note. If you’ve been through the Accompaniment 1 program, you could play the chords in root position and break each one up ‘bottom, middle, top, middle’ four times each measure and it would sound great. The piano part is a simple accompaniment with a small number of chords, and broken up the same way right through. Some of the most memorable songs have been among the simplest – a single voice accompanied by just a strummed guitar or simple chords on a piano can concentrate the attention on the way the melody interacts with the chords.
