Comfortable — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
8 people have learned this song
Watch "Comfortable" by John Mayer 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, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for navigating jazzy chord colors in a pop context — you'll cycle through eighteen distinct chords, including major sevenths, minor sevenths, and a Gdim7 that loves to sneak up on you.
Your left hand needs to stay relaxed through the mixed bass pattern; don't lock your wrist when jumping between the Bbmaj7 and Abmaj7 shapes, since that stretch trips up almost everyone the first few times.
Start hands-separate at around 80 BPM and really drill the Cm7–F7–Bbmaj7 progression until the voice-leading feels automatic in your fingers.
Watch the Bbm6 — it's a brief but expressive moment, and rushing past it kills the playful mood.
Once transitions feel smooth, bring the tempo up gradually to 120.
This is the piece that'll build your confidence with seventh-chord vocabulary, so lean into those rich sounds and let them ring.
