22 — Visual Piano Sheet Music
34 people have learned this song
"22" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of G, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with upbeat pop rhythm in G major, and the block bass pattern in your left hand keeps things steady so you can focus on locking in the groove.
You'll cycle through G, C, D, and Em shapes with a few power chords (Gpow, Cpow, Dpow) mixed in — those two-note power chords should feel like a relief after the fuller triads, so use them as mini reset points for your hand.
At 100 BPM the tempo is brisk but not frantic; start at around 70 BPM hands-separate, get your left-hand chord changes smooth first, then layer the right hand in.
The trickiest spot for most students is the transition from Em back up to G or C — your fingers will want to rush it, so loop that two-bar switch until it feels automatic.
Once you can play the whole progression without looking down, bump the tempo up in small increments.
This is the kind of song that really cements your I–V–vi–IV muscle memory, and that pattern will follow you into dozens of other pop tunes.
