After The Glitter Fades — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
7 people have learned this song
Watch "After The Glitter Fades" by Stevie Nicks in falling notes style — like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. 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.
