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 Jump Shout Boogie without reading music. The left hand plays heartbeat octaves (rocking octaves) and the right hand pumping chords.
Jump Shout Boogie accompaniment in letter notes
The Ab7 – F7 – Ab7 – G7 loop with heartbeat octaves in the left hand and pumping 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.
