If your a good singer, a very simple piano accompaniment will get you very far. The chord skills you have on an arranger can pretty easily transfer to basic vocal accompaniment on the piano. Think of all those quarter note rock ballads like "Let it Be" "Imagine" "Don't Stop Believing" You really don't have to be a piano virtuoso to play that kind of stuff.
Hi,
actually one of the packs in my course is “ 500 Songs in 5 Days”,
I have never known what to play as far as accompaniment goes, it’s actually quite simple to play a basic accompaniment.
Certainly didn’t learn 500 songs in 5 days ( haha) but the idea is the songs are based on the 1,IV, V, VI ,chords not in that order and the 500 songs that contain the chords.
No reading involved, ( never played without written notes in my life)
Then it teaches you about inversions and how to add embellishments, and for those of us who don’t sing ( me) it teaches how to add melody ( by ear) .
Each day , a new lesson to help learn some of those 500 songs.
Let it Be is one of them. Possibly so is Imagine, haven’t looked thru them all yet.
