Killer Queen — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
40 people have learned this song
Watch "Killer Queen" by Queen 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, 115 BPM.
This arrangement is a fantastic workout for your chord vocabulary — twenty distinct chords in the key of F means your hands will navigate chromatic shifts you won't find in simpler pop songs.
Pay special attention to the major-to-minor pivots like Bb to Bbm and Ab to Abm; those single-note changes in the chord shape are easy to miss at 115 BPM if you haven't drilled them slowly first.
Your left hand plays a block bass pattern, so keep it steady and confident — it's the anchor while your right hand handles the melodic rhythm, which leans into light syncopation in the verses.
I'd suggest learning hands separately, then looping the verse and chorus transitions at around 70 BPM before bringing it up to tempo.
The trickiest stumbling point is usually the quick walk through Cm7–D7–Gm — isolate those three bars until they feel automatic.
This is the piece that will genuinely build your comfort with chromatic chord movement, a skill that unlocks so much of the rock and jazz-inflected repertoire ahead of you.
