In this Piano tutorial, we'll explore the iconic bass line of "Stand By Me" by Ben E. King and learn how to play it with different variations. We'll cover three beginner-friendly rhythm patterns in the right hand - block chords, staccato pulses, and accented arpeggios and then dive into two more intermediate-level variations - flamenco and melodic playing - to help you add flair and creativity to the bass line. By the end of the lesson, you'll have a deeper understanding of the song's structure and be able to play the bass line with confidence and style. You’ll also grow your Hand Independence skills on the Piano.
