Every Breath You Take — Visual Piano Sheet Music
10 people have learned this song
"Every Breath You Take" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of G, 110 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build left-hand independence — your left hand holds a steady pedal bass pattern while your right hand moves through chord shapes above it, and keeping those two layers clean at 110 BPM is the real challenge here.
Watch out for the Eb and F chords, which briefly pull you outside the key of G and require quick hand repositioning — loop those transitions at half tempo until they're automatic.
Start hands-separate: lock in that left-hand pedal until it feels effortless, then layer the right hand on top.
The Dsus4-to-D resolution is a small detail that adds a lot of dramatic weight, so voice it cleanly instead of rushing past it.
Once you can play the verse progression smoothly, the rest clicks into place — and you'll walk away with genuinely stronger hand independence over a steady bass, a skill that transfers to dozens of other songs.
