Always On My Mind — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
27 people have learned this song
Watch "Always On My Mind" by Elvis Presley 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 Bb, 80 BPM.
This arrangement sits in the key of B♭ at a gentle 80 BPM, so you have time to breathe — use that time to nail your chord transitions rather than rushing through them.
Your left hand will cycle through ten chords including Gm7, Dm7, and C7, so get comfortable shifting between minor seventh shapes; the move from Gm to Am is only a half step in the root but reshapes your whole hand, and that's where most students stumble.
Practice that transition in isolation, slowly, until it feels automatic.
Use sustain pedal generously to keep the melancholic legato feel alive, but release and re-press on each chord change so you don't blur harmonics together.
Try hands-separate first through the verse, then combine at half tempo before bringing it up to speed.
This is the piece that will genuinely solidify your minor seventh voicings — once these shapes are in your fingers, dozens of ballads will feel easier.
