I Forgot To Remember To Forget — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
8 people have learned this song
Watch "I Forgot To Remember To Forget" by Elvis Presley 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 Bb, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with an oompah bass pattern in your left hand — you'll alternate between a low root note and a higher chord chunk in a steady boom-chah rhythm at 120 BPM, which feels like a relaxed walking pace.
Your right hand carries a smooth, vocal-style melody mostly in stepwise motion, so the real challenge isn't the notes themselves but keeping both hands independent and steady.
Watch the transitions into the seventh chords — Bb to Bb7, F to F7, and C to C7 each add just one note, but your fingers need to find that lowered tone without hesitating.
I'd suggest practicing your left-hand oompah pattern alone first until it feels automatic, then layer in the melody at half tempo.
Loop the spots where the chord changes come on an off-beat, because that's where most students rush.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid foundation for any song that uses a bass-and-chord comping pattern — that skill transfers everywhere.
