Airplanes — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
38 people have learned this song
Watch "Airplanes" by B.o.B. featuring Hayley Williams 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 F#, 90 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build left-hand independence thanks to that walking bass line — at 90 BPM it's not blazing fast, but keeping it smooth and even under your right-hand chords takes real control.
Start hands-separate: get the walking pattern locked in until it feels automatic, then layer in your chord shapes.
Playing in F# means you'll live on the black keys, so stay relaxed and keep your wrist high enough to move freely.
Watch the shift from F#m7 to Dsus2 — that jump catches people off guard, so loop just that transition slowly until your fingers know the distance.
The Apow chord adds a nice rhythmic punch; land it cleanly rather than rushing through it.
Once both hands sync up, you'll feel that melancholic groove click into place.
This is the piece that'll make walking bass feel natural to you going forward.
