I Forgot To Remember To Forget — Karaoke: Lyrics & Chords to Sing & Play Along
8 people have learned this song
Free karaoke for "I Forgot To Remember To Forget" by Elvis Presley: 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 Bb, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with an oompah bass pattern in your left hand — you'll alternate between a low root note and a higher chord chunk in a steady boom-chah rhythm at 120 BPM, which feels like a relaxed walking pace.
Your right hand carries a smooth, vocal-style melody mostly in stepwise motion, so the real challenge isn't the notes themselves but keeping both hands independent and steady.
Watch the transitions into the seventh chords — Bb to Bb7, F to F7, and C to C7 each add just one note, but your fingers need to find that lowered tone without hesitating.
I'd suggest practicing your left-hand oompah pattern alone first until it feels automatic, then layer in the melody at half tempo.
Loop the spots where the chord changes come on an off-beat, because that's where most students rush.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid foundation for any song that uses a bass-and-chord comping pattern — that skill transfers everywhere.
