Shape of You on Piano – Hook, Melody & Fun Add-Ons!
Learn the Caribbean inspired hook of Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You on the Piano and then play the Vocal melody in the Right Hand with the same tresillo groove in the Left Hand.
📚 Notation of each exercise & my handwritten notes are waiting for you on our Patreon (5$) - https://www.patreon.com/posts/shape-of-you-on-116111541
Go from the original pattern to an advanced workout for pianists with our detailed tutorial and enjoy the process along the way. Dive into the theory and train your ears to identify the hit points. Then, push the boundaries of your practice with techniques like adding pulse in the Left Hand, toggling the pulse with a bass line, incorporating “ghost notes,” and finally mastering the vocal melody of each section. The Left Hand takes on the responsibility of playing the hook, adding depth and complexity to your performance.
