Lucifer — Falling Notes Piano Tutorial
89 people have learned this song
Watch "Lucifer" by Alan Parsons Project 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 Bb, 120 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to build confidence with left-hand octave bass patterns — your left hand will bounce between root-and-octave shapes steadily at 120 BPM, so start slow and focus on landing each octave cleanly without tension in your wrist.
Your right hand moves through nine chords, and the trickiest transitions are the jumps between B♭ and the A-rooted shapes (Am, Asus4, A7) since they sit a half-step apart and demand quick, precise repositioning.
Practice those changes hands-separate first, looping just the two-bar phrases around them until they feel automatic.
Watch the Asus4-to-A7 move especially — it's just one finger lifting, but at tempo it's easy to rush.
Use a little sustain pedal on the bigger chord changes to keep the classical-dramatic mood flowing without gaps.
Once this clicks, you'll have real control over octave bass lines and dramatic dynamics — skills that transfer to dozens of pieces down the road.
