Play the full song with sheet music
The accompaniment with every note named, bar by bar: the bar sheet shows each note as a bar on the staff with its letter inside, so you can accompany Blizzard Of Lies without reading music. The left hand plays rock’n’roll rocker (rock’n’roll 5–6 shuffle) and the right hand bossa chords.
Blizzard Of Lies accompaniment in letter notes
The Cm – Bb7 – Ab7 – G7 loop with rock’n’roll rocker in the left hand and bossa 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.
