Good Night β€” Falling Notes Piano Tutorial

11 people have learned this song

Watch "Good Night" by The Beatles in falling notes style β€” like Synthesia. Color-coded notes fall onto the keyboard in real time. Practice left hand, right hand, or both. Key of G, 80 BPM.

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a gorgeous way to expand your chord vocabulary β€” thirteen chords in one gentle ballad means your hands will quietly absorb shapes like Gmaj7, Am7, Cmaj7, and C6 without the pressure of a fast tempo.

Your left hand plays an octave bass pattern, so focus first on landing those octaves cleanly and in rhythm before adding the right hand.

The trickiest moments are the shifts between closely related chords β€” G to Gmaj7 to G7, or Am to Am7 β€” where only one note changes; isolate those transitions and move slowly until your fingers feel the smallest possible movement.

Watch the Dm chord when it appears: it's borrowed from outside the key and can catch you off guard if you're on autopilot.

Practice hands-separate at around 60 BPM first, then bring them together.

At 80 BPM and this mood, evenness matters more than speed β€” this is the piece that'll make extended and major-seventh chords feel like home.
