Hotline Bling — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
87 people have learned this song
Watch "Hotline Bling" by Drake 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 G, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with borrowed chords — that Bb and Bbmaj7 are what give the track its melancholic color against the key of G, and they'll feel unfamiliar at first.
Your left hand stays in an octave bass pattern throughout, so lock that in first at around 80 BPM before adding the right hand.
The trickiest moment is the transition from C into Bb or Bbmaj7, because your hand has to shift quickly down a half step; drill just that two-chord move on a loop until it feels automatic.
Watch the Dsus4 as well — hold that fourth finger steady and resist resolving it early.
At 120 BPM the groove should feel laid-back, not rushed, so lean slightly behind the beat rather than pushing ahead.
Once these borrowed-chord shapes click here, you'll recognize them everywhere in modern pop and hip-hop writing.
