We're going to jump in with both feet to learn five songs in five days from the 1960s. Are we up to it? Yes, we are! So, let's get started with a quick look at the five songs from Hal Leonard's 60s Decade Series. We will learn how to play the melody and major and minor chords with both hands, one song at a time with can't miss big note sheet music. It's the quickest way to get up to speed with chords esp. coming from a different musical background like classical. A world of difference and yet providing technical training for a lifetime. Now's the time, dear friends, to play songs made famous by girl groups, Neal Sedaka, Burt Bacharach and American Bandstand with Dick Clark.
Playing by ear will only take you so far, dear friends. I never thought in a million years I would need to revisit my theory and classical music training in order to read and play the 60s song arrangements in EZ Play Today books by Hal Leonard. Five songs in five days? Not happening. Without knowing musical shorthand we may as well be sitting in a duck blind waiting for something to happen. Inaction gets you nowhere to play a musical instrument including VOICE and public performances. The song being used for the next TH-cam lesson is an EZ-Play Today arrangement for Bach's Cantata No. 208 Sheep May Safely Graze. Be prepared to learn how to read musical shorthand in order to play songs in the EZ Play Today series. Without it, we can all kiss our dreams goodbye to play pop music, ballads, movie hits and classical hits Book 275 with Bach, Beethoven and Brahms. Thanks for watching.
