Mamma Mia!
Oct 23rd, 2008 by admin
I know, I know. I played too fast on the video! The tempo in my head was going very fast! But it has been done, and I’m not willing to go back to recording it all over again. Anyway, since there’s a lot of repetition (i.e., there aren’t a lot of changes to chords), I believe one can still see what I play quite clearly on the video?
These are the “cheat” chords I played…
Part 1: D - D5# - D - D5#
Part 2: D - G - C/G - G - D/G - G
Part 3: G - A - G - D/F# - A - G - D/F# - A
Part 4: D - G - D - G - D
Part 5: D - A/C# - Bm7 - A - G - c - G - Em7 - D/F# - G - A4
Part 6: D - Bm7 - G - C - G - Em7 - D/F# - G - G/A

There was a request to demonstrate how to play the melody along with the accompaniment for this song. I have to warn you that it’s going to be difficult to see what I play on the video. That’s because there are so many fingers there! 
Anyway, I hope you can see what notes I pressed.
This is fine on keyboard cos the keyboard can provide the melody. But how can we get a similar effect on the normal conventional piano….:)
The melody is meant to be sung along.
This is piano karaoke! Haha! On a more serious note, yes, melody can actually be played together with the chords, but I won’t do it using 2 fingers the way I showed on video. 
Right. At least it sounds better without Meryl Streep.
any chance u can post an easy way to play both melody and chords? what should I play then? Would it work if play what u play with your right hand with the melody?
love this page btw;)
Hi JM,
Les
Thank you for dropping by.
Let me try and get back to you, ok?
I have not tried that yet.
Hi JM,
I have added a new video on my Mamma Mia page to show how the melody can be played together with the accompaniment. It won’t be easy to see which notes I was playing because there are so many fingers there. But I hope this is helpful.

Hi bec,
Thank you for dropping by. I do not have the lyrics or notes for the song but you can probably buy them from Amazon.

Hi, I have added the chords to the post for that song. Please look below the video on the post. Thank you for visiting.
thanks man!!!
If you dont have the notes, how did you manage to play this?
I play by ear.
what about the beeping that you don’t play? (i don’t mean to keep interrogating you, its just i want to find a way to do it too
Hi, musicjam19. I suppose you meant the melody. After I record the video as well as the audio of the chords, I then record the melody. I play the melody bit by bit while listening to the song. I do this by playing each little ’section’ of the song on my computer over and over again, and then record that ’section’, before I move on to the next ’section’. This is recorded on a different ‘channel’ in the keyboard, of course, so that it doesn’t interfere with the chords that I have already recorded before this. The keyboard is able to record ’section’ by ’section’ using an ‘append’ mode. I hope this helps.
