After The Glitter Fades — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
19 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "After The Glitter Fades" by Stevie Nicks: lyrics on screen with the chords above each line and a bouncing ball that lands on every word in time. Sing along, or play along on guitar or piano from the chord chart. Change the key to fit your voice, slow the tempo down. Key of A, 80 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to develop your walking bass — your left hand will move stepwise between chord roots, which feels easy at first but gets tricky the moment your right hand joins in.
At 80 BPM you have breathing room, so use it: start hands-separate and really lock in that left-hand pattern until it feels automatic.
You're only working with A, D, E, and E7, and the smoothest move here is E to E7 — you're literally just lifting one finger — so don't overthink it.
The real stumbling point is the D chord transition, where your left hand has to walk a wider interval while your right hand reshapes; loop that two-bar spot slowly until it's boring.
Keep your sustain pedal light, just a half-pedal touch to warm the tone without blurring the bass line.
Once this clicks, you'll have a walking bass foundation you can carry into dozens of other ballads.
