Teacher’s notes

This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with a pedal bass pattern in your left hand — you'll anchor on that low Eb for long stretches while your right hand moves through just four chords: Eb, Bb, Gm, and Gm7.

That steady left-hand pedal against changing harmonies is what gives the song its calm, rolling feel, so resist the urge to rush it even though 150 BPM looks fast on paper; the pulse is in half-time, so let each measure breathe.

Start hands-separate: get your right hand comfortable with the Gm to Gm7 voicing shift first, because the only difference is one note dropping a half step, and sloppy timing there will muddy the mood.

Once that's clean, loop the Eb–Bb–Gm–Gm7 cycle slowly until the shape changes feel automatic.

The trickiest moment is moving from Bb back to Eb without a gap — keep your thumb ready on Bb as a pivot finger.

This is the piece that'll lock in your ability to keep a rock-steady bass while your right hand floats above it, a skill you'll use in dozens of ballads going forward.
