Left hand Hammock heartbeatRight hand Cradle chordsChords the loop the song repeats most

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 Easy without reading music. The left hand plays hammock heartbeat (root bass · 6/8 lilt) and the right hand cradle chords.

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.

Questions about Easy

What are the letter notes for the Easy piano accompaniment?

Bar by bar, both hands: the bar sheet on this page names every note of the accompaniment (C4 is middle C) and plays along. The loop is B – C#m – B – E, so the letters repeat with the chords.

What chords are in Easy?

The loop is B – C#m – B – E (V – vi – V – I) in E major, and the song ends on A – B – E.

What key is Easy in?

E major, at about 60 beats a minute in 6/8.

What does the left hand play in Easy?

Hammock heartbeat: root bass · 6/8 lilt, a medium pattern. It follows the chords, so the same shape works for every bar.

Is Easy easy to play on piano?

It is a medium one: learn the 4 chords as blocks first, then add the left hand, then the right, slowly.

Made from one arrangement of this song: the left and right hands are the patterns these scores repeat most.
