Easy Piano Sheet Music to Learn Songs Fast

Note: You should learn inversions that are close to each other, so your left stays around the same area of the keyboard.

Here's an example of "Love Me Tender" played with chord symbols:

I put the bass clef to show you how the chord inversions are close to one another. However, with a fake book, you only need the melody line and chord symbols. Once you learn a song fairly well, you can add rhythmic patterns to the left hand as a fill-in, particularly in areas where the melody has long notes.

You should start learning the basic chords of the common keys/scales used in most popular music. The basic chords for the most common keys are:

Key of C: C, F, G7, D7, Fm
Key of G: G, C, D7, A7, Cm
Key of F: F, Bb, C7, G7, Bbm
Key of Bb: Bb, Eb, F7, C7, Ebm

When you learn chord symbols, you're learning note patterns. You don't have to spend time learning the left hand as it's written on regular sheet music and this will allow you to focus on your right hand. Set a goal of memorizing 25 to 30 chords and gradually keep learning new ones. By learning many chords based on their symbols, you'll be able to build a long repertoire of your favorite songs a lot faster.
