Mad — Easy Piano Notes for Beginners
63 people have learned this song
Learn "Mad" on piano with easy notes — perfect for absolute beginners. Large color-coded note names show exactly which keys to press. No music reading required. Key of C, 66 BPM.
This arrangement is a great way to get comfortable with minor seventh voicings — your left hand will move between Am7, Dm7, and their root triads, so pay close attention to which version the chart calls for at any given moment, because swapping one for the other changes the whole color.
At 66 BPM you have plenty of time between chords, but that slow tempo is deceptive: the real challenge is making your transitions smooth rather than lurching, especially moving from Gsus4 to G and then into Am.
Practice that three-chord passage in a loop until the sus4 resolution feels automatic.
I'd suggest hands separate first for the verse, then combine once your left hand can shift without looking down.
Watch the D7 — it's the spiciest chord here and tends to catch people off guard rhythmically.
Once this clicks, you'll have a solid foundation for playing expressive, dramatic R&B progressions by feel.
