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 Shine (from Robots) without reading music. The left hand plays bouncy-ball heartbeat (root bass · 1 · 1& · 2& · 3& · 4&), and the right hand sings the tune.
Shine (from Robots) accompaniment in letter notes
The Ab7 – G7 – Cm – Ab7 loop with bouncy-ball heartbeat in the left hand. 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.
