Bohemian Rhapsody — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
35 people have learned this song
Watch "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen 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 Eb, 72 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic chord-vocabulary workout — fifteen different chords means your hands will meet major, minor, dominant seventh, diminished, and sus4 shapes all in one piece.
At 72 BPM you have breathing room, so use it: focus on landing each new chord shape cleanly rather than rushing ahead.
The trickiest moments will be transitions into C#dim and Abm, since those shapes sit outside the usual Eb-major comfort zone — isolate those two-bar passages and loop them hands-separate until the fingering feels automatic.
Watch the shift between Ab and Abm especially; it's just one note moving a half step, but under pressure your fingers will want to skip it.
Work section by section rather than top-to-bottom, because each part of the song has its own texture.
By the end, you'll have a real command of quick chord-type changes — a skill that transfers to almost everything else you'll learn.
