The left hand plays bubbly heartbeat (root bass · 1 · 2 · 2a · 3 · 3& · 4) and the right hand late-knock chords.
6Th Avenue Heartache accompaniment in letter notes
The F – C – Gm – Bb loop with bubbly heartbeat in the left hand and late-knock chords in the right. Notes struck together are joined with a plus; C4 is middle C.
How to read the bar sheet
The player above shows the treble staff (right hand) over the bass staff (left hand). Every note is a bar as long as it sounds, at its place on the staff, with its name inside, and the music scrolls past a line that marks now. The chord names run along the top.
Start with the left hand alone at a slow speed, then the right, then both. When the letters feel easy, try the sheet music.
