Lonesome Town — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
Watch "Lonesome Town" by Ricky Nelson 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 C, 80 BPM.
Tip: Start at 50% speed to get comfortable with the fingering, then work your way up to full tempo.
