The Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel - Easy Piano Cover - Piano Secrets Unlocked.

I learned this song from a lead sheet, which is sheet music that just shows the right-hand melody and chord symbols.

I used broken chords in the left hand and played a simple, single-note melody line with my right hand; adding part of the chord to certain melody notes; usually when there's a chord change.

Before I knew any chords, it would take me weeks to learn a new song. After I started learning chords, I could learn a new song in less than an hour.

The reason for that is simple; I no longer had to read the music notes on the bass clef. Knowing chords allows me to create my own piano arrangements.
