A chord piano player
Turn yourself into a chord piano player. But EVERYBODY can play “Chord Piano” to some degree — at least enough to enjoy yourself and perhaps amaze your family and friends. Synthesizers may allow you to set this behaviour. This is simplified, because the starting note will typically be one of the notes in the base cord of the last note. If you choose that note properly, the rest of the music is greatly simplified. The grand mystery to playing by ear is deciding which note to start out on. You make up your own antique piano accompaniment as you feel best. They typically come with just the melodies of the songs, and perhaps recommendations for what cords sound good with a particular part of the melody. Sheet music in PFD format may be downloaded from Shopping.Lofthouse.com. Especially if you are learning to sight read.
