It's No Good — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
10 people have learned this song
Watch "It's No Good" by Depeche Mode 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 F, 100 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with extended chord shapes — your right hand will navigate Abmaj7 and Abmaj9 voicings that stretch beyond basic triads, so take a moment to learn each shape in isolation before you try them in tempo.
Your left hand drives an oompah bass pattern, bouncing between a low root and a mid-register chord hit, which at 100 BPM should feel steady but energetic — keep that rhythm relaxed and even, almost like a pulse you could tap your foot to.
The trickiest transition is moving between Abmaj9 and Adim: the diminished chord sneaks in quickly, so loop that two-chord change hands-separately until it's automatic.
Watch the shift from Cm7 to C major too — it's just one note difference, but rushing it smudges the dramatic color change that makes this song pop.
Once those transitions click, you'll have real fluency with major seventh and minor seventh shapes you'll use everywhere.
