Bad Liar — Visual Piano Sheet Music
23 people have learned this song
"Bad Liar" 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 Ab, 90 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build comfort with left-hand pedal bass, meaning your left hand will anchor on a repeated low note while your right hand moves through the chord changes — it trains independence between your hands at a manageable 90 BPM.
The six chords sit nicely in and around A-flat major, but watch the G7 to Cm transition: that G natural will feel unexpected under your fingers if you're coasting on the A-flat scale shape, so isolate that move and loop it slowly until the reach feels automatic.
Start hands-separate, getting your right hand confident with the chord shapes before layering in the steady left-hand pulse.
The upbeat pop rhythm can tempt you to rush, especially coming out of held chords into quicker changes around Bb and Eb — use a slower tempo at first and only speed up when it feels easy, not just possible.
This is the piece that'll lock in your pedal-bass coordination for every pop song that follows.
