Band Of Gold — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
13 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "Band Of Gold" by Freda Payne: 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 G, 110 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to lock in your left-hand pedal bass technique — your left hand stays anchored, repeating a steady root note while your right hand moves through just four chords: G, C, D, and D7.
At 110 BPM the tempo has a relaxed groove, but don't let that fool you into rushing; the soul of this track lives in staying right in the pocket rhythmically.
The sneakiest moment is the switch from D to D7 — it's only one note changing, but if you're not anticipating it, your fingers will hesitate and break the flow.
Practice that D-to-D7 move in isolation until it feels automatic.
I'd suggest starting hands-separate at around 80 BPM, getting comfortable with that repeating bass pulse before layering the right hand on top.
Once both hands feel steady, bring it up to tempo gradually.
This is the kind of song that quietly builds your ability to keep a consistent rhythmic feel across simple changes — and that skill will carry you through far harder pieces down the road.
