Learn To Play Amazing Grace With Piano Tabs

You can learn to play popular melodies without sheet music. Today you will learn to use piano tab notation to learn a popular song! Piano tabs show you where to play the notes on the piano. We will today use the numbers 1 to 8 to help you find the notes. First we will locate the note 1. It is the note that is found to the left of two black keys. There are many such places on a piano but I suggest that you choose a number one somewhere in the middle of the keyboard. The note 1 is also called C. The notes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and 8 are also called C D E F G A B and C. The note named 2 in our piano tab notation is the white key immediately to the right of 1. Then note 3 is the white key to the right of 2 and so on. Let’s start by leather guitar straps taking a look at the lyrics for the first verse: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found Was blind, but now I see We will start to play the melody to the first line of lyrics: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound 1 4 6 4 6 5 4 2 1 This type of piano tab does not tell you the length of the notes. If you sing the lyrics you will probably feel how long the notes should be. Time for the next line: That saved a wretch like me 1 4 6 4 6 5 6 8 Maybe you are using your right hand index finger to play all notes and I guess it works with this easy melody. I suggest that you try to use all right hand fingers to play the melody, including the thumb.
