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 O Bless The Lord, My Soul without reading music. The left hand plays island pulse (root bass · tresillo 3-3-2) and the right hand bouncing star.
O Bless The Lord, My Soul accompaniment in letter notes
The D – Am – C – D loop with island pulse in the left hand and bouncing star 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.
