Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a fantastic workout for rock-style power chords — you'll be snapping between two-note fifth shapes like Cpow, Fpow, and Gpow at a brisk 168 BPM, so clean hand shifts are everything.

Your left hand stays anchored in a pedal bass pattern, which keeps things stable, but don't let that lull you — your right hand needs to nail some chromatic power-chord slides, especially the Bb–B–C and Eb–E–F half-step movements that give the song its swagger.

Start at around 60% tempo, right hand alone, and loop those chromatic passages until the jumps feel automatic.

When you add full chords like G7 and G9, spread your fingers early — don't wait until the beat lands to find the shape.

The most common stumble is rushing the power-chord shifts and blurring notes together, so prioritize precision over speed.

This is the song that'll make power chords second nature in your hands.
