Easy piano arrangement in the key of G at 89 BPM. Difficulty: medium. Color-coded notes — no sheet-reading skill required.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great workout for power-chord fluency — you'll move through ten chord shapes, and seven of them are power chords spanning from Fpow up to Gpow, so your right hand needs to lock into that root-fifth voicing and shift positions quickly and cleanly.

Meanwhile, your left hand drives an octave bass pattern that gives the whole thing its rock energy, so practice that hand alone first until the octave jumps feel automatic at 89 BPM.

The trickiest transitions tend to be the leaps between Fpow, Gpow, and Bpow, where your right hand covers a lot of keyboard real estate — slow those passages down to half tempo and loop them until the jumps land accurately before speeding up.

Watch that you don't rush the rhythm; 89 BPM has a laid-back, swaggering groove, so sit into it rather than pushing ahead.

Once this clicks, you'll have rock-solid power-chord navigation you can carry into dozens of other songs.
