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 Let’s Hang On without reading music. The left hand plays push and land (root bass · 1 · 2& · 3 · 4) and the right hand steady chords.
The catchy part of Let’s Hang On in letter notes
The real notes from a score, both hands, bar by bar. R is the right hand, L the left; C4 is middle C.
Let’s Hang On accompaniment in letter notes
The Am – D – Bm7 – Em – Am – Am – D – D loop with push and land in the left hand and steady 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.
