Home — Simple Sheet Music

84 people have learned this song

Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build your Alberti bass confidence — your left hand will cycle through broken-chord patterns almost continuously at 112 BPM, so start hands-separate and slow it down to around 80 until that rolling motion feels automatic.

The seven chords here mostly sit in the key of D, but watch for the C major — it's borrowed from outside the key and will catch your fingers off guard if you're on autopilot, so isolate any passage where G moves to C or C resolves back to D and loop it until the hand shift is smooth.

The A7 adds a nice color change; make sure you voice that G natural cleanly without accidentally muting the neighboring note.

For your right hand, the melody is largely stepwise and singable, which means your real challenge is locking it rhythmically against the Alberti pattern underneath — count out loud if the hands drift apart.

Once both hands sync comfortably at tempo, add light sustain pedal on chord changes to warm the sound without blurring the bass.

This is the piece that'll make Alberti bass feel like second nature, and every pop and rock song you learn after this will benefit from it.
