Almost Easy — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
13 people have learned this song
Watch "Almost Easy" by Avenged Sevenfold 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 E, 176 BPM.
This arrangement will push your coordination hard — at 176 BPM in the key of E, the octave bass pattern in your left hand needs to feel automatic before you layer anything on top.
Start hands-separate and at around 60% tempo; get those left-hand octave jumps locked in so your hand finds each root (E, B, C♯, A and the rest) without looking down.
Your right hand deals with thirteen chord shapes including power chords and a sneaky C diminished, so watch the transitions between C♯ minor and C diminished especially — they sit close together but the voicing shift trips people up every time.
Syncopation is constant in this style, so count aloud or tap your foot religiously; rushing even slightly at this tempo snowballs fast.
Once each hand is confident, combine them in four-bar loops, prioritizing the chorus first since it repeats most.
Keep pedal use minimal — just light touches on sustained passages so the rock energy stays tight, not muddy.
This is the piece that will solidify your power-chord vocabulary and teach your left hand to own an octave bass line at speed.
