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 beginnerfriendly rhythm patterns in the right hand block chords, staccato pulses, and accented arpeggios and then dive into two more intermediatelevel 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.
