Locked Out Of Heaven — Visual Piano Sheet Music
53 people have learned this song
"Locked Out Of Heaven" 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 Bb, 145 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with B♭ major territory — a key that feels unfamiliar at first but quickly becomes second nature once your hands learn the neighborhood.
Your left hand gets a walking bass line, so practice that separately at around 100 BPM before bringing it up to the full 145; the steady motion needs to feel automatic so it doesn't pull focus from your right hand's chord work.
Watch the shift between Gm7 and Csus4 especially — that suspension wants to resolve, and rushing it is the most common stumble I see.
The power chords (B♭pow, Cpow) are your friends here: they're slim two-note shapes that give you breathing room during faster passages.
Try looping the chorus progression hands-together at a slow tempo until the Dm–F–C–B♭ movement feels like muscle memory, then gradually speed up.
This is the song that'll lock in your comfort with flat-key chord transitions, and that skill pays off in dozens of pop tunes down the road.
