    Hi, Thanks for this simplified video. I sing, so should I add in those right-hand melody notes or stick with the chords even though it is repetitive? I thought my voice might do the melody with chords?

    • @rockyourlivingroom2036
      @rockyourlivingroom2036 Рік тому

      That’s right, you don’t have to play the right hand melody notes if you are going to sing, Just play the bass and chords and then your voice is the melody. Hope this helps!

    Nice interpretation. Although there is some piano in this song, the original version is not a piano based song. I always thought that this song would lend itself well to a piano interpretation but there is very little in terms of tutorials on this in UA-cam. Thanks for doing this.
