I found what I needed to know to play Amazing Grace  email this discussion to a friend?

Hi... no one responded to my other discussion, but I found what I needed to know to play. I was doing it wrong, but without the chords I can do it now. I do have the chords also but have not practiced them yet, because I am getting used to the change ups on the keyboard with my right hand. For anyone interested in playing the song

When I put down a letter that is where the thumb goes and the thumb is 1, index is 2 middle is 3 ring is 4 and pinky if 5

Amazing Grace goes like this with the right hand

G 1 4
A 5 3 5
G 5 4 2 1 1 4
A 5 3 5
C 2 5 3 5 3 5 3 1
G 1 2 4 2 1 1 4
A 5 3 5 4 3

Now when I get that all down I will learn to play the chords with it.

Isn't the internet great?!

I didn't see your other discussion, but I remember when I was first online I found all kinds of free sites with all the tabs for gazillions of songs. It's exciting! You can google pretty much any song and find them!

You can find sheet music, but that wouldn't do me any good, since I can't read it. I did find what I needed though so I could play the song I want to play.

Coolio! Where did you find these lessons. I miss my piano. Maybe next year I'll buy a new one. One can wish and hope.

If you message me Gtargirl I will PM it to you. You sign up for the lessons and you get the printable song.. it shows you the placement of your fingers for the chords and for the notes.

Hi oreoCookie3, I due to play the song i like with out any chords. Previously I had learn it when I'm in primary school, I just like it and a kind of fun and satisfaction when played on it. Seen the piano at my home had been sales, so i just stop my piano practicing. In fact i dint take any examination even 'Grade 1'. But most of my friend did not trust me. Seen past few year i dint practice for my piano, I not able to play a single song even the chords is in front of me. I can play the song I like and the song that required from my friend without the chords and notes. I guess I not able to play a song with the chords... Anyone willing to teach me??


myLot reputation of 95/100. OreoCookie3 (22470)  5 years ago

I'm starting to practice it with the chords now. I'm still slow going right now, because my left hand is not use to changing finger positions. I did a lot better last night though. The 3 chords are C, G7, and F. It will probably be another couple of weeks before I can really be fast enough with the changes of chords to play it well.

This is interesting. Thanks for sharing. I know if I still had a keyboard this would be very useful for me as well. Sounds like you are really making use of your keyboard.


myLot reputation of 95/100. OreoCookie3 (22470)  5 years ago

Hi KrauseHome, I usually practice twice a day. I am now getting used to playing with both hands.. chords with left and keys with right.
