Forever & Always: easy piano accompaniment in letter notes
By Taylor Swift
- Bb major
- 4/4
- 138 BPM
- V–IV–I–V loop
- Medium
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 Forever & Always without reading music. The left hand plays engine 8ths (root bass · 8ths) and the right hand skip-and-stroll chords.
Forever & Always accompaniment in letter notes
The F – Eb – Bb – F loop with engine 8ths in the left hand and skip-and-stroll 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.
