Knock On Wood — Visual Piano Sheet Music
2 people have learned this song
"Knock On Wood" in visual bar notation — see every note as a colored bar on the staff. Easier to read than traditional sheet music. Scrolls automatically as you play. Key of A, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to work on your left-hand pedal bass in A — you'll hold or repeat that root note while your right hand navigates nine distinct chords, which is more harmonic variety than you might expect from a classic R&B groove.
At 120 BPM the tempo is moderate but the real challenge is keeping your rhythm steady through the chromatic walk-ups involving F#, G, and G# before landing on A, so isolate that passage slowly and get your fingering clean before you speed up.
Your right hand will shift between major and dominant seventh shapes (A to A7, E to E7), and those quick chord-quality changes need to feel automatic — drill them hands-separate until the voicings are in your muscle memory.
Start at about 80 BPM, loop the verse progression until it grooves without tension in your wrists, then bump the tempo up in small increments.
The syncopated push on beat four trips up nearly everyone the first few times, so count aloud.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid foundation for playing soulful, rhythm-driven pop-rock with confidence.
