Count On Me — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
18 people have learned this song
Watch "Count On Me" by Bruno Mars 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 C, 176 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build your left-hand "oompah" bass pattern — that bouncy alternation between a single bass note and the chord above it, which gives the song its upbeat feel.
At 176 BPM it moves quickly, so start at half tempo and lock in your left hand alone before adding the melody.
Your seven chords are all diatonic to C major, meaning no sharps or flats, but watch the shift from Dm to Dm7 — that added C note is subtle and easy to miss.
The Em chord tends to trip people up too, since it appears less often and your fingers forget where to land.
Loop those two transitions until they're automatic.
Once both hands feel steady separately, combine them in short four-bar phrases rather than top-to-bottom runs.
This is the piece that will make oompah bass feel natural in your hands for every pop song that follows.
